Lea Michele And A Not So Innocent Comeback

On the show today… In a plot twist, a celebrity interview that actually didn’t happen is what’s making headlines this week. So now we're unpacking the whole Adam Levine/Adam Devine Call Her Daddy situation (and just the general audacity of men). And a Kate Moss movie is coming to our screens, produced by the iconic supermodel herself. So far we’ve got a cast announcement and an Oscar nominee attached, but we still have a few thoughts on why Kate’s chosen this particular way of telling her story. Plus, Lea Michele is making headlines for two different reasons this week. She’s given a new interview about her diva ways on Glee, and delivered a viral TikTok on the ongoing saga of her (alleged) illiteracy. But what we really need to talk about is how she has so cleverly pulled off a miraculous career comeback and the strings that needed to be pulled.

Those Reese Witherspoon & Ashton Kutcher Pics Are More Suspicious Than You Think

On the show today… In exciting movie news (at least for everyone who snuck horror movies into sleepovers in the late 90s) the iconic slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer could be making a big screen comeback with original stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prince Jr. Don’t get your hopes up just yet, but here’s what we know so far. Plus, Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted sitting next to 19-year-old model Eden Polani at a party and now the world thinks they’re dating (to be fair, there is precedent). For years, Leonardo’s career protected him from criticism about his age gap relationships, but recently that has all come crumbling down, thanks to an unlikely course. And everyone was pretty excited by the fact that Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher had teamed up for a new rom-com…until we saw the red carpet photos of them together and decided they hate each other. Now Ashton has come out with a predictable explanation around what happened, but that still doesn’t explain why these two seasoned rom-com stars decided to ignore every red carpet rule and potentially tank their new film.

The Beyonce Outrage Goes Deeper Than Harry Styles

Welcome to a special episode of The Spill! Today we’re going deep on the Grammy Awards that took place this week. From the history-making moments that were gifted to us via Viola Davis and Kim Petras, to some very awkward audience moments (here's looking at you Ben Affleck, and your sad face) we unpack the biggest and most surprising moments from the music industry's biggest night. And we need to talk about the most shocking moment from the Grammys, which was Harry Styles winning the coveted Album of the Year award over Beyoncé. Despite being the most awarded artist in Grammy’s history, the voting body's treatment of Beyonce speaks to a bigger problem within the industry.

Armie Hammer’s Viral Interview Is Missing The Real Story

On the show today… The Grammys took place today so now we need to break down the wildest red carpet looks and yes, there is a clear winner when it comes to the best-dressed star. In his memoir Spare, Prince Harry sensationally detailed how he lost his virginity (behind a pub with a bit of rump smacking, in case you forgot) but never named the woman. Now the lady in question has come forward with her side of the story, but we have some questions about her motivation. And Armie Hammer has given his first ‘tell all’ interview following a series of allegations against him that caused him to be dropped from all upcoming film roles. In the interview, Armie talks about his BDSM history and the way Hollywood turned against him, yet his explanations for what happened, and the cancelation talk around him, have missed the real story.

The Truth About MAF’s Most ‘Problematic’ Man

On the show today… Former The Crown star Helena Bonham Carter said in a recent interview that the Netflix series should end now as its no longer a historical drama. But we have a very different opinion. And we’re in the thick of the new Married At First Sight season, with the unfortunate couples now in the honeymoon phase of the so-called experiment. But this year there’s one lie about the series we need to stop telling ourselves, and while we’re at it, let’s delve into what we really mean when we call men ‘problematic’. Plus, it's Weekend Watch time! This week we have two movies to recommend to you, a classic Australian story and a new horror film that might actually be a bit of an anti-recommendation.

Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz & Leaked Text Messages

On the show today… Beyonce is officially going on tour but before you start planning to buy your Australian tickets, you need to listen to this. And Chrishell Stause and G-Flip have given their first long-form interview as a couple to Vogue Australia, and the story of how they met feels straight out of a rom-com (with a bonus appearance by Tones and I). Plus, we need to talk about our favourite nepo babies Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, because after their lavish nuptials last year, it’s been confirmed Nicola’s family is suing the wedding planners and as a result many of her (less than flattering) text messages have been made public. So now we need to ask, for a couple who has made being married young their entire brand, why would they choose to do this?

Jesinta Franklin And The New Influencer Debate

On the show today… Australian Idol is back on our screens this week after a decade-long break, with a new judging panel that includes Kyle Sandilands, Meghan Trainor, Harry Connick Jr, and Amy Shark. There has already been some backlash to the new season that we need to discuss. And Ashton Kutcher is Esquire’s new cover star, featuring one of the most in-depth interviews he’s given in decades. There a two big takeaways from the interview, including his stance on a co-star’s legal battles and the moment Hollywood turned on him. Plus, Jesinta Franklin’s announcement that she looking to start a subscription section to her Instagram account, but donate the profits to charity, has kicked off an unexpected storm of comments regarding how celebrities and influencers alike monetize their platforms. In the end, it all boils down to the stark reminder that our relationship with celebrities is based on a transactional relationship.

What No One Is Saying About Pamela Anderson’s Redemption

On the show today... One of the buzziest TV shows of the year, The Last Of Us, has already been renewed for a second season following some recording-breaking first episodes. Here’s everything you need to know. And this year’s Academy Awards have been plagued with some unexpected drama in the lead-up to the ceremony. With an internal investigation taking place, and talk of one of the Best Actress nominees losing her nomination, we unpack everything that’s going on behind the headlines. Plus, Pamela Anderson’s Netflix documentary and memoir have both been released this week, accompanied by magazine covers and in-depth podcast interviews. While it is time that Pamela got to tell her own story after years of brutal tabloid treatment, the real catalyst for her comeback, while problematic, has now been swept under the rug.

Do We Owe Sam Smith An Apology?

On the show today... Blake Lively's been cast in one of the most anticipated film adaptions in years, but fans aren't happy. We discuss why it is they're upset and what we know about the book-turned movie.  Plus The Bachelors has come to an end with the season finale airing last night. They took a big swing with the revamped format this year and we dissect whether we think it actually worked.  And Sam Smith dropped the video for their new song over the weekend and while we are absolutely loving it, some people are tearing into it online for its ‘overly sexual undertones’. It’s got us questioning why Sam Smith is such a magnet for online hate.

THE WATCH: Emily In Paris Season 3

Welcome to this bonus episode of The Spill! This month we just had to talk about the show some people love to hate, and some people love to watch over and over again on an endless loop...which of course is Emily In Paris, season three on Netflix. In this episode, we talk through the biggest plot twists from the latest season, and why some of them happened last minute, the best and worst characters (yes there is an official ranking), and where the show is going next. Of course, we also talk though through the ludicrous fashions, the real-life hair decision that changed the course of the show, and an unpopular opinion about the main love story.
