On the show today… Canadian pop star Shawn Mendes has today canceled his entire Wonder tour, which was set to take place across North America and Europe throughout 2022 and 2023, to focus on his well-being. Here’s why that is so important. Plus, someone on Beyonce's team is definitely getting fired today. Tomorrow is the release date for Renaissance, Beyonce’s first album in six years and the anticipation for this release has been at an all-time high. But the album’s roll-out has not gone to plan. And the world is convinced that Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh are at each other’s throats and are currently locked in a brutal feud after working together on the movie Don’t Worry Darling. The allegations have to do with Harry Styles, an on-set altercation, and some questionable current social media posts, but there’s much more going on here than just two famous women who allegedly don’t get along.

On the show today… Filming has begun on the Disney+ Australian event series The Clearing. The series is inspired by the real-life Australian cult The Family and its founder Anne Hamilton-Byrne, who is one of the rare female cult leaders in history. Here’s everything we know about the all-star Australian cast. And The Hills star Audrina Patridge has released a new memoir chronicling all the secrets behind the iconic reality TV show. The book includes some off-script stories about her castmates and it’s potentially changed the way we see the show. Plus, Beauty and the Geek Australia is currently airing and pulling in a large and devoted audience each night. But as the makeover episodes start to air this week, we’re being forced to confront a very problematic side of the show and what it represents.

On the show today… The first celebrity guests for the Stan Original Series RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under Season 2 have just been announced. Here’s everything you need to know. And Britney Spears is reportedly back in the studio and about to relaunch her music career via a collaboration with Elton John. The news comes at the same time as the singer, still newly free from her longtime conservatorship, released a series of text messages that she claims is proof her mother Lyn Spears abused her. Plus, right now we’re seeing the resurgence of British supermodel Kate Moss, thanks to her new role as Diet Coke’s creative director (yes, we have questions about this). In a rare new interview, Kate has explained the stories behind her biggest career controversies, along with talking through her worst modeling experiences, and it’s left us very divided over her complicated legacy.

On the show today… The final episode of Neighbours will air this week and a lot of famous faces are returning to their soap opera roots for the big event, including Delta Goodrem, Natalie Imbruglia, Holly Valance, and even Margot Robbie. Here’s everything we know so far. Plus, Comic-Con International was held in San Diego this weekend, one of the largest comics and pop culture events in the world. It’s an event TV and movie studios save their most important release news for, so let's talk through the biggest and most surprising reveals to come out of Comic-Con. And after a COVID-induced hiatus, Splendour in the Grass returned this weekend and things seemed to be looking up for Australia’s hard-hit music industry. But thanks to an unprecedented rainfall situation, the worst in the 21-year history of the event, shows were cancelled, campsites were destroyed and hundreds of festival goers were left without transport. Here we unpack what really went on at Splendour and if it’s fair to call it ‘Australia’s Fyre Festival’.

On the show today… A judge has decided to not extend a temporary restraining order placed against Ricky Martin by his nephew after the relative dropped his allegations, with the singer saying he will now start his "healing process". And Kylie Jenner has been facing criticism this week for being out of touch and using her private jet to fly short distances. There's now a classic Kardashian damage control story playing out to try to fix Kylie's image, but the flurry of headlines say so much more about how the members of this famous family fall in and out of public favour. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time and this week we need to talk about two buzzy new movies! There's the murder mystery book adaptation everyone is talking about and a high stakes action blockbuster starring a lot of familiar faces.

On the show today… Lizzo covers the new issue of Elle UK, which features a stunning photoshoot and insight into her new music. But it’s her comments about her body and social media that really deserve the most attention. Plus, Brad Pitt is on a promotional tour for his new movie and his latest outing saw him sport a (wrinkled) skirt. The pictures have launched a slew of jokes and opinions and a very valid conversation about gender-fluid dressing, but we think there’s a hidden agenda behind this new look. And we’re joined by The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards to talk about the new season of the hit franchise, the toll reality TV takes on her life behind the scenes, and what to expect from upcoming episodes.

On the show today… Our favourite show about problematic rich people being trapped in all-inclusive resorts is finally back, with White Lotus season two currently filming. Here’s everything we know about the new season. Plus, after weeks of speculation about her love life, Chelsea Handler has confirmed that she has split with her partner of one year, comedian Jo Koy…via an anniversary video that was prerecorded. Her words have posed an interesting question about why celebrity break-up announcements are spiraling. And it’s the movie everyone is talking about. The new adaptation of Persuasion, starring Dakota Johnson, has dropped on Netflix and the response has been overwhelming. It’s been labelled the most hated movie on Netflix while also sitting at number one, so let's talk about the real story behind this viral movie.

Here’s everything you need to know about the movie that’s already pulling in Oscar buzz. Plus, someone is going to have to step up and marry Chris Evans. The Captain America star said he’s “lasered focused” on finding a long-term romantic partner, which got us thinking about how he’s escaped the ‘unlucky in love’ tag for so many years and why his words feel so unusual in the Hollywood landscape. And an exact has been published from the upcoming book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, otherwise known as the book “Meghan Markle is dreading’ being released. The first exact from the book details the infamous story behind Meghan Markle’s infamous Vanity Fair cover, and it’s now clear that the book is very much out to bring her down.

And Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have joined the list of celebrities opting for low-key Las Vegas weddings, according to a new newsletter penned by Mrs Jennifer Lynn Affleck. From a vintage movie dress to an Elvis car and a…dirty bathroom, we need to dissect the celebrity wedding news of the year. Plus, it’s been reported that model and best-selling author Emily Ratajkowski is planning to divorce her husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, after he allegedly cheated on her. But it’s not the cheating allegations that we need to unpack, instead we need to talk about the intense reaction from the public who are shocked that Em Rata didn't have a ‘hot pass’ to protect her from infidelity.

On the show today… Actress Constance Wu, known for her roles in Hustlers and Crazy Rich Asians, has shared an emotional statement about how a series of tweets left her facing a mental health struggle that saw her disappear from Hollywood for three years. And Ana de Armas has given a new interview about the “horrible” media attention she faced while dating Ben Affleck, but we’ve spotted a pretty big flaw in her story (although we agree that Ben Affleck probably ruined her life for a while there). This same interview has also landed Jamie Lee Curtis in hot water, so let's unpack exactly what happened. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! This week we need to talk about a series that’s getting a whole heap of Emmy praise and a sweet new romantic comedy that will fill you with joy.
