The Spill

On the show today… All of the nominees for Best Original Song have been confirmed to perform at next week’s Oscars, with the exception of Lady Gaga and her beloved Top Gun: Maverick tune. And we think her controversial new movie role might be to blame. Plus, in a celebrity crossover event we never saw coming, Tyga and Avril Lavigne want us to know they’re very much…into each other, thanks to a series of headline-making paparazzi pash photos. This was news to Avril’s fiance Mod Sun, so if you’re also confused, allow us to explain what happened. And this morning three different headlines were trending, all hooked on the faces of Kim Basinger, Gigi Hadid, and Kim Kardashian. One Kim is being praised, while the other has been labeled ‘unrecongisable’ and it’s led to an important, but uncomfortable conversation around famous women’s faces and why it’s now acceptable to shame them, as long as you use the right words.

On the show today… What do Scarlett Johansson, Penélope Cruz, Michael Fassbender, and Owen Wilson all have in common? Well, they’re in talks to star in a new Nancy Meyers movie and we feel like rom-coms are officially making a comeback. Here’s what you need to know. And the new cast list for SAS Australia has been announced and along with some impressive and famous names, there are a few people in there who are sure to cause controversy. So now we have to talk about how this series is only showing one side of public redemption arcs. Plus Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are once again taking a beating in the public eye, Harry for a ticketed interview about his memoir and Meghan for a TV show she didn’t actually appear on. The Meghan outrage stems from a story told by Rebel Wilson and the conversation that followed is one even we’re sick of having.

On the show today… In great news for anyone who loves watching problematic rich people on their screens, the first full-length trailer for Succesion’s fourth and final season has just been released. Here’s everything you need to know. And when it was first announced, The Idol was set to be one of the biggest new TV shows of 2023. Starring Lily-Rose Depp and The Weekend, the series was billed as a “darker, crazier, and more risqué version of the smash-hit Euphoria”, but then the production delays began. Now, a new expose has unearthed what really happened behind the scenes, and it’s not a pretty sight. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! On today’s show, we’re recommending a history-making new Netflix comedy special and a highly anticipated book-to-series adaption that will transport you straight back to the 70s.

On the show today… In what feels like a gift from the Gods, Jennifer Coolidge is on the cover of one of W Magazine’s Directors Issue covers, and the photospread is like nothing we’ve seen before. From the star duo behind the spread to her memorable interview quotes, here’s everything you need to know. And in a rough turn of events for the couple, it’s been reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are being “evicted” from their UK home by his father King Charles. It’s been reported that Prince Andrew is the proud new owner of their former home, but it’s not quite the good news he was hoping for. Plus, Married At First Sight is never a scandal-free TV-watching experience, but this week there was a very problematic set of events (hooked to a particularly problematic man) that flew under the radar, and we need to talk about it immediately.

On the show today… In case you’d forgotten, after its emotional farewell last year, Neighbours is making a return to our screens. Filming is just about to start and today another handful of cast members were confirmed to reprise their roles, including one that made history. Heartbreak High star Chloé Hayden made headlines over the weekend when she publicly spoke about Marvel Stadium staff making her feel unwelcome when she tried to access the venue's sensory room. Now we have an update on what happened next and it’s a story every person needs to hear. Plus, singer, actress, and model Suki Waterhouse is back in the headlines (and TikTok feeds) this week thanks to her upcoming role in the highly anticipated new TV show. But at the same time, a post she has since deleted about her ex Bradley Cooper has resurfaced, and it’s linked to some of the most notorious paparazzi images of all time, ones that show how our response to age gap relationships has drastically changed.

On the show today… Hello, and welcome to this very special episode of The Spill! Today we’re doing a Screen Actors Guild Awards special. Why, you ask? Because this week all of our favourite movie and TV stars gathered in a room together and it’s been the most exciting awards show night so far.From the best red carpet interviews and looks to the moments that made history on stage, we break down the best moments from the SAG Awards. And for an awards show that is billed as serious and prestigious, the SAG Awards were also a breeding ground for plenty of drama, and stars like Zendaya, Aubrey Plaza were at the center of it.

On the show today… The NAACP Image Awards, which honour outstanding achievements of people of color in motion pictures, television, music, and literature, took place over the weekend. From Angela Bassett’s iconic win and acceptance speech to Zemdaya’s headline-making red carpet look, here are all the best moments from the awards. And Paris Hilton has shared even more about her motherhood experience, explaining that her past trauma was the reason why she chose to use a surrogate and saying she has “20 boys eggs” from her IVF procedures. While it’s always helpful when another woman shares her life experiences, the conversation around Paris is highlighting the growing ‘motherhood gap’ and why these celebrations are not for everybody. Plus, Hailey Bieber is on the new cover of Vogue Australia, featured alongside an interview with Justin Bieber. The interview itself is not newsworthy, which leads us to wonder if something happened behind the scenes in the PR trenches. The magazine cover has been released at the same time as Hailey’s social accounts are being flooded with comments about the whole Selena Gomes/Kylie Jenner/Taylor Swift “fight” so let's unpack what really went on there.

Welcome to this bonus episode of The Spill! This month we are shaking things up a bit and dissecting a new Netflix movie that has everyone talking, Your Place Or Mine starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. In this episode, we hotly debate the onscreen chemistry between Reese and Ashton (look, those red carpet photos didn’t help), breakdown the plot points that really let the movie down, and explain why the nepo baby child actor somewhat resembles a loaf of bread (to be fair, only one host said this). And since Your Place Or Mine was supposed to bring back the classic rom-com, we then have a passionate discussion about the very best movies from this genre (and why this is the only time toxic men are attractive) before discussing why good rom-coms don’t get made anymore and how to bring them back.

On the show today… This week Harvey Weinstein and R. Kelly were both sentenced to extra years in prison. Their crimes have been the source of news stories, podcasts, documentaries, and movies for years, and this week more of their victims saw them held accountable for past crimes. And this week two very different stories about Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have been doing the rounds. From an appearance at the British Academy Film Awards to a viral new episode of South Park, Meghan, and Kate are firmly back in their villain and hero roles despite the documentaries and books Harry and Meghan have released. So what has gone on behind the scenes for us to end up here, again? Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! This week we have a new Australian series packed with pride for you to enjoy and the return of a cult classic comedy that needs to be on your TV radar.
