On the show today… The Australian Academy of Cinema Television Arts (AACTA) has revealed the nominees for the 2022 AACTA Awards. So now let's talk about the TV shows and movies that have been nominated for what is Australia’s version of the Oscars. And there’s been a public war of words between Madonna and Cardi B, after Madonna posted a message to Instagram that highlighted her groundbreaking career, while also naming some famous women in what could be seen as a negative way. But there are two important sides to this story. Plus, Taylor Swift has released her tenth studio album Midnights and it immediately went on to break a number of records. Now we need to talk about the hidden messages buried within the album, and the famous men and relationships they might be about. Taylor Swift’s first music video for the album has also stirred up some controversy, but this time it’s hooked on a pretty series issue that we need to unpack.

On the show today….  We have something a little different for you! On today’s show, we’re joined by Lowbrow host Shannen Findlay to discuss three wild celebrity conspiracy theories that don’t often make the headlines but have some facts to (potentially) back them up. From evidence that Britney Spears was a secret government operative whose biggest scandals were not real, to a theory about Nicki Minaj and Jay Z that will ensure you never listen to their music the same way again, let's delve into some topics that are normally off the table. And we need to get to the bottom of an unspeakable celebrity conspiracy theory about Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and…murder? It’s hard to believe but apparently sog lyrics don’t lie.  You can hear more of Shannen on Mamamia's Lowbrow podcast.

On the show today… This week we got a little spoiler for an upcoming episode of The Kardashians when images of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker engaging in a very romantic moment were captured by none other than Rebel Wilson. Plus, thanks to the disastrous Don’t Worry Darling press tour, and now her former nanny giving tell-all interviews about her life, Olivia Wilde is having a pretty rough time. So when she stepped on stage to be honored as one of Elle’s Women in Hollywood this week, she gave a very telling speech about how she’s really feeling. So let's unpack her words and why she described her industry as a “ burning hellfire of the misogyny”. And James Corden appears to be at war with a man named Keith. This week Keith, who owns the celebrity hotspot restaurant Balthazar in New York, posted a scathing statement to Instagram calling James “the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.” Now the story has taken another unexpected twist, but it also has to be said that the hate for James Corden began long ago.

On the show today… Kim Kardashian’s new podcast The System is out in the world and it’s already tracking above the likes of Joe Rogan and Meghan Markle. Here’s everything you need to know about the launch of her new true crime offering. And our favourite Australia Idol star (yes, we said it) Rob Mills has released a new memoir called Putting On A Show. One excerpt from the book, which tells a story about Courtney Act, a mystery woman and an “orgy”, is already making headlines. So let's get to the bottom of this story as it is an important part of Australia’s history. Plus, Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde’s former nanny has taken part in a tell-all interview about her time working for the former couple and included screenshots of their text message exchanges. She has made a number of accusations against Olivia and Jason, which they have denied via a joint statement. So now we need to unpack what’s been said, the timing of these allegations and why it’s only a small part of the story.

On the show today… The first trailer for The Challenge Australia, the show labeled “the most cut-throat competition the world has ever seen” is here and it’s just a mash-up of reality TV stars seemingly being tortured. And for decades, Bill Murray was one of Hollywood’s most loveable celebrities. Then a series of allegations, from women who said he was inappropriate on film sets, started surfacing. Now Seth Green has recounted a truly disturbing story where Bill Murray threw him into a bin when he was a child. Will this be what turns the tide against Bill Murray, or do people have fatigue with seeing their favourite stars continually fall from grace? Plus, Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber posed for a series of photos together, and we’re not exaggerating when we say it seems to have caused a global panic attack. But there’s so much more to this story than just a seemingly candid photo, and it has to do with branding and a shift in celebrity tactics.

Here’s everything you need to know about the nominees and the surprise celebrity hosts. Plus, our favourite complicated celebrity Emily Ratajkowski has announced she’s launching her own podcast, which will consist of multiple episodes a week. And we have some thoughts on how the author and model’s new project is going to be received. And, it’s the scandalous true crime story that has been the subject of Hollywood movies, documentaries, and magazine stories for well over a decade. The Bling Ring were a group of teenagers who broke into the homes of A-List celebrities in a series of orchestrated attacks. And for years Rachel Bilson was the one celebrity involved in the crime spree who refused to forgive them, now she’s come face to face with two members of the group and we need to talk about it. You can hear Rachel's full interview here.  And you can read the original Vanity Fair article about The Bling Ring here.

And Lizzo is Vanity Fair’s new cover star, in one of the widest-ranging interviews of her career, she talks about her new romance (and why she wants a wedding, not a marriage), changing her song lyrics, and the fan moment that caused her to break down in tears.

On the show today… The first trailer from Selena Gomez’s new documentary, entitled Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, has been released today. Here’s everything you need to know about the documentary and its release day. In sad (and somewhat strange) news, Paris Hilton’s dog Diamond Baby has been missing for more than two weeks, but there’s now been a new twist in the missing dog’s case thanks to an Australian pet physic. So how legit is this? Allow us to investigate. And Madonna has caused some controversy thanks to a TikTok she posted where she seemingly came out as gay. It appears many people are not across her decades-long legacy with the LGBTQIA+ community, so we need to talk through her greatest hits. At the same time, Madonna is being policed for not acting her age on social media, and we have some strong thoughts about that.
