We Need To Talk About (The Other) Beckhams
On the show today… It’s been confirmed that Tom Cruise, the man who will not allow himself to die in movies, is planning to shoot his next film in actual space. And we just have some questions about the logistics of that. And Kanye West has had his Instagram and Twitter accounts restricted following a series of posts from the musician that included racial abuse. After Fox aired a two-part interview with Kanye that included some truly troubling moments, it’s time to take another look at how his behavior is being covered. Plus, Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham are back in the headlines, thanks to a slightly unhinged Vogue interview, and as usual, it’s not looking good for the young lovers. As we question Brooklyn’s weird obsession with physical clothing labels, we need to talk about the young Hollywood couples who are making marriage their entire brand.

The Worst Brad Pitt Allegations Yet
On the show today… In important, breaking news, the first exterior scenes for And Just Like That have started filming and we’ve been given a glimpse of Carrie Bradshaw’s new outfits. Looks like we’ll all be carrying pigeon-shaped bags in the future, so that’s something to look forward to… Plus, it’s been reported that longtime couple Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady are set to divorce. At the same time, Gisele has given an interview where she essentially talks about giving up her career to support her sport star husband, and it really says something about career inequality. And a new court filing from Angelina Jolie has unearthed some seriously violent allegations against Brad Pitt, where she alleges he physically assaulted her and their children and left her with injuries. As these new allegations come to light, we once again have to ask, what will it take for Brad Pitt to no longer be seen as Hollywood’s ultimate golden boy?

THE WATCH: The Bear
Welcome to this bonus episode of The Spill! This episode of The Watch is all about The Bear, the TV series set in a Chicago kitchen that we didn't expect to be so captivated by. Laura & Chelsea talk through the grittiness and greasiness of the kitchen drama, the characters they loved (and despised), and the scene that almost made them both switch off for good.

On the show today… The trailer for Luca Guadagnino's highly anticipated cannibal horror film Bones & All has finally been released. It stars Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell as young cannibals on a road trip across the US, and critics and fans alike are already in a tizzy. And actor Chloë Grace Moretz has spoken out about how a viral internet meme about her impacted her body image and mental health as a teenager. No matter the intention, it's just another reminder of how damaging discussing young women's bodies can be. Plus, it's Weekend Watch time!

The Hailey Bieber Interview That Shouldn’t Have Happened
On the show today… Stan has announced the cast for its upcoming satirical comedy series C*A*U*G*H*T which will see some major stars descending on Australia to film. Plus, in what might be a record turnaround, there's already a film about the Johnny Depp & Amber Heard trial ready for release, and we have a trailer. It's the latest production spurring conversations about the ethics of dramatising real-life events and we have conflicting thoughts. And it's the interview everyone's been waiting for: Hailey Bieber talking about her husband Justin Bieber's relationship with Selena Gomez for the first - and last - time. Hailey denied cheating allegations and spoke about the toll fan hate has taken on her, but the interview has definitely not achieved what Hailey hoped it would. You can hear her full interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast here.

Never Trust A Hollywood ‘Wife Guy’
On the show today… Channel 7 has announced the judging and hosting line-up for the return of Australian Idol, with two local and two international stars making up the panel. Plus, Gwyneth Paltrow has marked her 50th birthday with a nude photoshoot. We're all for 'women of a certain age' in Hollywood claiming their space, but are we still only accepting it if they fit in a narrow 'box' of what a famous woman should be? And there's a new celebrity cheating scandal making waves today. Don't worry if you have no idea what a 'Try Guy' is, because we explain what the heck everyone is talking about, and discuss how Hollywood 'Wife Guys' who brand themselves as happily married men have become a new relationship red flag.
