The Spill

On the show today… In very important movie news, the first trailer for Scream 6 has just been released and look, it’s pretty creepy. But now we need to discuss if the franchise can survive without its leading lady. And musician Sam Smith had their outfit shamed after performing their hit song Unholy at the annual New York Jingle Ball. While the people at the forefront of the criticism claim it’s to do with the outfit and nothing else, there’s a much deeper problem at play here. Plus, a new teaser clip for the next installment of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix documentary has been released and it has only strengthened the public’s opinion about Meghan and her motivation behind making the series. There are still three episodes yet to premiere, but it appears this one teaser has already sealed her public fate.

On the show today… Oscar winner Charlize Theron made a controversial comment this week about Kim Kardashian, stating that she holds more power in the entertainment industry than even a celebrated actress like Meryl Streep. The comment was met with pushback from fellow celebrities, but the truth is, she’s actually correct. On this episode of The Spill we’re joined by podcaster, author, and Kardashian expert Deni Todorovic to discuss the famous family. And how, after a year of controversies, scandals and heartbreak, they’ve still managed to become more powerful brand than ever before.

And Abbie Chatfield has released a podcast in response to a recent radio segment hosted by Kyle Sandilands and Brittany Hockley, where the pair interviewed rapper Yung Gravy and Abbie’s name was brought into the conversation.

On the show today… Australia’s biggest night for TV and film, the AACTA Awards, took place this week and some of Hollywood’s biggest exports were on hand to receive awards. Plus, we need to talk about all the nominated Aussie-made shows and movies you need to add to your watch list. In slightly different awards show news, we also need to talk about the People's Choice Awards that took place this week. There were some truly uplifting and important moments (Lizzo’s acceptance speech) and some truly outrageous turns (a Shania Twain and Ryan Reynolds mash-up) that we need to unpack. And in more serious news, Kim Kardashian has been granted a restraining order against a man who continually showed up to her house, claiming to have a gun and insisting the two share a personal telepathic connection. It’s just one of many celebrity stalker stories involving home invasions and weapons, but there’s a complicated reason why they often don’t get reported.

Plus, today we’ve been gifted the very first trailer for the highly anticipated new musical-drama series Daisy Jones & The Six, based on the best-selling novel of the same name. At the same time, the rumour mill is churning out some new theories about the two series stars that we need to discuss. And Katherine Heigl is on the publicity trail for her new Netflix series and during a recent interview, she revealed what was really at the heart of her controversial Grey’s Anatomy exit and the moment she regrets most. It’s a new twist on her ongoing ‘cancellation’ which has become a cautionary tale for other actresses, even if it’s not exactly fair.

On the show today… Saturday Night Live doesn’t always make headlines, except this weekend when actress and comedian Keke Palmer hosted the show and dropped a surprise announcement. Plus, Britney Spears celebrated her birthday this week by posting a loving Instagram message to her younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears, who she has been publicly feuding with for years. But instead of seeing it as a gesture of sisterly love, Britney fans have a much more sinister theory about why she really shared these words. And Rebel Wilson’s name is making headlines again, this time surrounding the release of her new clothing line with her partner Ramona Agruma. The size inclusivity of her line has been called into question, and although Rebel has issued a statement about the issue, we need to talk about the damage that has already been done.

On the show…. Following a media storm, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have finalised their divorce, but one strange request from Kanye’s legal team has already been leaked. And Netflix has released the first trailer for the upcoming six-part documentary series on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
