The Spill

On the show today… In news that will bring a smile to your face, Schitt’s Creek star and Emmy winner Dan Levy is officially joining the cast of Sex Education. Here’s everything you need to know about season four of the Netflix hit. And a major TV event took place this week that we need to discuss. The Games of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon premiered and broke a slew of records (along with a few streaming platforms) and now we need to talk about the very passionate reaction to it. Plus, there’s a lot of conversation right now about Abbie Chatfield and whether or not she and Konrad Bień-Stephen’s have ended their relationship. Abbie has posted a response to the rumours but now we need to discuss how the public has reacted to it and why we’re seeing a very unfortunate rise in ‘gotcha’ culture.

On the show today… In exciting TV news, Gogglebox Australia is returning to our screens this week, and here’s everything you need to know about the brand new cast members. In slightly less exciting TV news, it appears that John Corbett really is returning to the Sex and the City universe as Aidan Shaw in the new season of And Just Like That. Now, a year ago, this would have been very welcome news, but today we are violently against it. And after officially marrying in a Las Vegas ceremony last month, and then enjoying an extensive Parisian honeymoon, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have just gone back for round two and hosted a three-day wedding event. While there are some truly romantic moments from the wedding festival, three big controversies have now emerged.

On the show today… Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is a new sex comedy-drama in cinemas now and tells the story of a retired schoolteacher (played by Emma Thompson) who, after living a sexually repressed life, hires a sex worker by the name of Leo Grande (played by Daryl McCormack)  to help her tick off her bucket list of sexual experiences. In this special bonus episode, we talk to Emma Thompson, and the film’s Australia director Sophie Hyde, about the making of Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, in a passionate conversation that dives into sexuality, ageing, sex work, motherhood and the greatest lies we have ever been told.

On the show today… It’s time to be alert but not alarmed, because there are about to be two Taylor Lautners in the world and yes, for some, we’ve dragged Taylor Swift into this. Plus, Academy Award nominee Jonah Hill has announced that while he has a number of big projects about to be released into the world, he will no longer be doing any press or promotion for them. Jonah has had a particularly bad run in interviews over the years and he’s just one of many celebrities we can see making this same decision going forward. So now we need to talk about the moment we knew celebrities were really done with us. And it’s Weekend Watch time! This week we have a coming of age TV series that will reduce you to tears and a groundbreaking sex dramedy to recommend to you.

On the show today… In news that will thrill elder millennials, Netflix has released the first trailer for Heartbreak High, the highly anticipated reimagining of the 90s Australian YA series and you must take a look at it. And in an interesting turn of events, Joe Jonas has given an interview about his partnership with a cosmetic injectable brand, saying he’s attempting to break the taboo around men’s beauty routines. Yes, it’s all hooked on sponsored content, but his words have opened up an interesting conversation about men's faces. Plus, after many years of speculation, the subjects of an anonymous 2016 lawsuit where a woman said she was assaulted by her “then-husband” on a private plane have been revealed as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The FBI reports about the famous couple contain some very disturbing allegations of assault, so once again we have to discuss why the world refuses to have a negative conversation about Brad Pitt. Even as the evidence continues to pile up against him.

On the show today… In exciting entertainment news, we’ve today been gifted our first look at two new projects. First up is a sneak peek at The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, followed by a teaser of the new Netflix series Wednesday. Here’s everything you need to know. And Hollywood has fully welcomed Johhny Depp back with open arms, despite some of his troubling past actions being made public in his court case against ex-wife Amber Heard. He is taking on his first directing role in 25 years and will also star in the film alongside Al Pacino. The fallout from this cannot be underestimated. Plus, Florence Pugh is Harper's Bazaar’s new cover star and in an interview entitled Florence Pugh Is Just Being Honest, the actress gets very candid about her break-up with Zach Braff and the reaction to her new movie. But when it comes to her take on these two events, we must respectfully but strongly disagree with her.

On the show today… In news that will either find you screaming in your car with excitement or yelling “no one cares”, the John Wick prequel finally has a home and a release date, here’s everything you need to know. And it’s been reported that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck didn’t settle for a lowkey Las Vegas wedding (complete with dirty bathroom photos) after all. Instead, it looks like they’re planning a lavish three-day wedding this weekend and so it’s time to say goodbye to ‘anti-weddings’ and embrace the gravy train that is opulent public love stories. Plus, Adele has given her first interview about ‘the worst moment of her career’ and talked to Elle magazine about the last-minute cancellation of her Las Vegas shows earlier this year. Her words are a lesson on the importance of sitting in public failure, but also a reminder of the real reason people were primed to turn against Adele.

On the show today... The Hollywood Critics Association TV Awards were held this week and if you’re looking for new shows to add to your must-watch list, this would be the place to find them. Plus, Kim Kardashian has shared a video tour of her new SKKN BY KIM office and we honestly have some questions for the people who (allegedly) work there. From a mystery bathroom viewing chair to a car that belongs in a horror movie, here are the three strangest reveals of Kim Kardashian’s new office. And our favourite newlywed nepotism babies, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, have addressed their alleged feud with his famous mother Victoria Beckham for the first time but we’ve uncovered quite a few holes in their story and it all starts with a dress.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Join us in our Facebook group to discuss everything pop culture...https://www.facebook.com/groups/2524018781153963/ Feedback?

On the show today... Kevin Federline has shared and then deleted videos seemingly in an effort to show Britney Spears arguing with their sons, Sean and Jayden, which has led to criticism about using their kids as pawns. Plus, it’s the photo everyone is talking about. Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee shared a very explicit d*ck pic on Instagram last night, which has us shocked, amused and pondering a very blatant double standard, all at the same time. And it’s Friday which means we have two Weekend Watch recommendations for you! One series reimagining a beloved 90s film, and a satirical movie that will have you questioning influencers and internet culture.

On the show today… Kyle Sandilands and fiancé Tegan Kynaston are officially parents, welcoming a baby boy named Otto this morning, with Kyle making a very chaotic exit from his radio show to as Tegan went into labour. Plus, Mindy Kaling has given an interview to Marie Claire, where she discusses the negative response she received when her sitcom, The Mindy Show, first aired in 2012. It goes to show how different the media landscape looked, just a decade ago. And a copyright lawsuit filed against Taylor Swift and her 2014 single Shake It Off has been making news this week, based on two lines in the song's chorus. It's the latest in a long line of recent music lawsuits, so we discuss where they all came from and what they mean for the music industry.
