The Spill

On the show today… Congratulations are in order for Taika Waititi and Rita Ora, who have reportedly married in an intimate ceremony in London.  Plus, fans are campaigning for Schapelle Corby to be the next Bachelorette. We discuss why that wouldn't be surprising, and why we'd be on board with that twist. And there is a lot of chatter about intimacy coordinators on film and TV sets this week, after actor Sean Bean said they "spoiled the spontaneity" in sex scenes. We consider the tone deafness of this comment, why sex scenes should be treated the same as fight scenes and how big of a difference this new job title has made in a post #MeToo world.

On the show today… Britney Spears is returning to music for the first time in six years, with a very exciting collaboration between her and Elton John confirmed today. Plus, Olivia Newton-John has passed away "peacefully" aged 73, her husband John Easterling has confirmed. We, and dozens of celebrities, remember the Aussie icon. And the last two remaining MAFS 2022 couples have both announced their breakups within hours of each other. We unpack the news and ponder if it's even still possible for relationships that have been built up in such a manufactured, drama-filled situation to go the distance.

Plus, Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline has sat down for his first interview in a decade, discussing where he stands on Britney's conservatorship and their sons' relationships with their mother. Now we need to talk about the suspicious timing of his re-emergence. And the world's most talked about celebrity couple have broken up.

On the show today… Beyoncé's highly anticipated seventh studio album Renaissance has been released into the wild and it’s already broken some pretty impressive records. But with the albumin release comes a new wave of controversy. Plus, following the Kylie Jenner double private plane backlash, a list of the worst private jet CO2 emissions from celebrities in 2022 has been released with Taylor Swift topping the list and then defending herself in a statement. But there’s a stronger power at play here that will let all these celebrities off the hook. And Will Smith has released a new apology video in regards to slapping Chris Rock at this year’s Oscars. In the video, he once again apologizes to Chris Rock, who has since given an under-the-radar response, but now we need to talk about the mechanics behind the video and why he really chose to post it.
