Blake Lively And The Story Behind A Dangerous Photo
On the show today… Netflix has released the first trailer for their highly anticipated new series DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. The series, created by Ryan Murphy, stars Evan Peters as American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Here’s everything you need to know. Plus, New York Fashion Week has just taken place, but because we’re not a fashion podcast we don’t have a whole lot of interest in the clothes. However, we are interested in some slightly scandalous celebrity moments that happened behind the scenes. And Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have confirmed they are expecting their fourth child. But the caption that accompanied the photos held an angry message for the paparazzi lurking outside their home. Now we need to talk about the altercations celebrity children have had with the paparazzi, and why it’s a complicated fame issue.

One Very Important Question About Timothée Chalamet's Nipple
On the show today… Jimmy Kimmel has apologised to Quinta Brunson over this year's biggest Emmy controversy - when he stayed lying on the ground throughout her winner's speech - during her appearance on his talk show. And Timothée Chalamet is British Vogue's October cover star - the first man to ever appear on the magazine's print cover. The corresponding interview doesn't give too much away about everyone's favourite young actor, so the conversation has naturally turned to... the curious placement of his nipple. We investigate what happened. Check out the full British Vogue article here. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time. Today we have a fun new Aussie teen drama and a psychological horror film starring Naomi Watts to recommend to you.

Cara Delevingne, Margot Robbie & An Out Of Context Photo
On the show today… The first trailer for Damien Chazelle’s highly anticipated new movie Babylon dropped this week, with a cast that features everyone from Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Jean Smart, Olivia Wilde and Samara Weaving. Here’s everything you need to know. We also need to talk about the new mystery of our times, and find out if Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid are actually dating or if it’s just a very well-placed PR stunt. Sources have come forward about their relationship and photos have started to emerge, but this whole theory that it’s a setup is missing one crucial detail. And somehow, the ultimate cool girl Cara Delevingne has gone from the supermodel everyone wants to cast in their movie to a joke on TikTok, with accusations that she’s on a drug bender or suffering from a mystery illness and this new wave of fake concern is all linked to a picture of Margot Robbie. So while we unpack how this all happened the question we need to ask ourselves is, have we learned nothing from the last few years?

Unpopular (And Emotional) Emmy Opinions
On the show today… Welcome to The Spill’s Emmy Awards special! In this episode, we discuss the Emmy win that stopped viewers in their tracks and made us remember what this show is actually about, along with a controversial moment that probably should have been cut from the broadcast. We also talk about what Lizzo’s win actually means, the renaissance of Jennifer Coolidge, and the Emmy categories that got it very very wrong. You can read Chelsea's full recap of The Emmys as they unfolded here.

All The Things You Missed From The Emmys Red Carpet
On the show today… The prestigious Toronto International Film Festival has been taking place over the last few days and while most stars have been having a fancy time on the red carpet, Anna Kendrick had to be rescued by a team of firefighters. And the Emmys are taking place today, so we’ve rounded up our favourite red carpet looks from the night, along with a few questionable choices and some gowns that have an interesting backstory. Plus, Kris Jenner recently underwent a lie detector test to prove once and for all that she did not release her daughter Kim Kardashian’s sex tape. Now Ray J, who appeared in the tape with Kim, has released “evidence” that he says proves it was all an orchestrated secret move by the Kardashian family. But we’re seeing a different side to this new Kim Kardashian takedown.

Meghan Markle’s New Game
On the show today… Get excited because there’s a new Aussie dating show on the way. The upcoming Stan Original Dating Series Love Triangle, from the same creative team behind Married at First Sight, will see a group of single people “ relinquish their grasp on what they think their perfect partner should look like, and instead choose someone, sight unseen, based on a deeper connection”. Here’s everything you need to know. Plus, it’s been a big few days for Disney nerds, with the D23 Expo taking place over the weekend. During the expo, Disney released a number of highly anticipated trailers we need to discuss immediately, with one in particular drawing ugly backlash. And following the death of Queen Elizabeth on Friday, images emerged over the weekend of Prince William and Kate Middleton, now the new Prince and Princess of Wales, outside Windsor Castle accompanied by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The social media coverage of the event has been twisted in a particular way, with one woman being labeled a hero, and the other one the villain.

The Queen’s Death And Unwelcome Headlines
On the show today… Queen Elizabeth II has died at Balmoral, aged 96. The Royal Family have released statements about the long-running monarch and her life, but some headlines about where the family was in the lead-up to her passing are unwelcome. To hear what happens next for the royals, check out this episode of The Quicky. And Olivia Wilde is Vanity Fair’s new cover star, giving an in-depth interview about the gossip surrounding Don’t Worry Darling, her separation from Jason Sudeikis (and why it had nothing to do with Harry Styles), and why she allowed Shia LaBeouf to believe he quit her movie. A number of sources are also quoted in the interview, which show a whole different side to the Olivia and Florence Pugh ‘feud’ rumours. Check out the full Vanity Fair article here. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time. Today we have a gritty new Aussie drama and a highly anticipated new thriller series to recommend to you.

The Danger Of Kim Kardashian’s Butt
On the show today… The first trailer for Harry Styles’ new film (as it’s been called) My Policeman has been released. Here’s everything you need to know about his role opposite The Crown star Emma Corrin. And it’s yet another moment ripped straight from the pages of a Glee reboot. Last night Lea Michele made her long-anticipated debut in Broadway’s Funny Girl revival and it all played out like a scene from a movie. At the same time, there’s an uncomfortable undertone to her new wave of success. Plus, Kim Kardashian is the latest cover star for Interview Magazine, and everyone is talking about her butt being on full, glorious display. But while magazine covers are meant to be removed from reality, there’s a specific danger to Kim resurfacing this particular trend.

There’s No Need To Hate The New Jennifer Lawrence
On the show today… It’s a huge day for fans of Mindy Kaling, the woman who notoriously never agrees to podcast interviews, because she’s appeared on Meghan Markle’s new show Archetypes. Here are the most surprising reveals from their chat. And look, it’s not our fault, but we have to talk about Don’t Worry Darling and ‘Spitgate’ again, because there have been some new developments, including suspicious photos and official statements. Plus, Jennifer Lawrence is Vogue’s new cover star, giving her first in-depth interview since the birth of her son, whose name she reveals in the article. Jennifer talks about her miscarriages and a longtime rift within her family, in an interview that introduces us to a new side of the star, a side that has divided people.

Three Secret Scandals From The Don’t Worry Darling Premiere
On the show today… Married At First Sight stars Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli have announced they are expecting a baby. During the announcement, Martha also shared the health diagnosis that has kept her off social media for months. And Brendan Fraser was brought to tears at the Venice Film Festival when his new film The Whale received a six-minute standing ovation from the crowd. Brendan has spoken about the upsetting reason why he was blacklisted from Hollywood for many years, yet his new movie also has a problematic undertone we need to be aware of. Plus, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for thanks to saturation media coverage around the behind-the-scenes drama. Don’t Worry Darling has premiered at the Venice Film Festival and there are three big scandals the main cameras missed that we have to dissect immediately.
