The Spill

On the show today… The Queen's platinum jubilee celebrations are underway in the UK, making plenty of headlines about Harry and Meghan, the Queen's health, and a very convenient problem for Prince Andrew. And it's the interview we've all been waiting for. Sarah Jessica Parker has addressed her feud with Kim Cattrall in a podcast discussion, sharing that it's been a "painful" experience and taking issue with the way it's been presented by media. Plus, it's Weekend Watch time! On today's show, we have a heartwarming new show that will give you the warm fuzzies, and a fascinating interview series that includes a really prophetic Will Smith comment.

On the show today… The Hills stars (and professional reality TV villains) Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have announced they are expecting their second child after being very open about their fertility struggles. And Liam Payne has given a wild interview about his former One Direction bandmates and it’s safe to say that many of his (easily disproven) accusations have severely damaged the fandom. But when you look at another scandal that erupted this week, the timing of this interview is very suspicious. Plus, the verdict for the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial has been announced and it’s very much come out in favour of Johnny Depp. However, many of those Johnny Depp ‘victory’ headlines are missing one crucial fact when it comes to what this verdict really means.

On the show today... Kevin Spacey has responded to the multiple charges of sexual assault filed against him in the United Kingdom last week. And Kristen Stewart’s latest movie is making headlines, but not for the reason you’d think. As reports surface about people walking out of Cannes’ Crimes of the Future screening, we unpack the actor’s comments about the film and consider whether this is the greatest accidental marketing they could’ve asked for. Plus, you may have seen headlines involving pop stars like Halsey and record label demands for viral content on TikTok. Today, Halsey’s label has announced a settlement, but people are still cynically wondering if the entire thing was a very meta form of advertising. So, what’s up with these artists and their new war against the social media giant? And is any of it actually real?

On the show today… More than 100 British actors and public figures have put their names to an open letter calling for better onscreen representation of older women, here’s everything you need to know. And after weeks of it dominating news headlines, the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is coming to an end, but even a last-minute piece of damming information can’t change the public outcome. Plus, right now we are living in the Tom Cruise renaissance period, spurned on this week with the incredible performance of Top Gun: Maverick at the global box office. But when you look back at Tom Cruise’s controversial career, it looks like he was playing a long game when it comes to tricking the public into forgetting his past.

On the show today… Singer Lachie Gill has won the 2022 season of The Voice Australia, but the news has once again kickstarted an important conversation about diversity and reality TV. And Busy Phillips has announced that she and her husband, screenwriter Marc Silverstein, have separated after 15 years of marriage and are planning to divorce. The couple kept the news a secret for well over a year and said that going down the normal celebrity separation path “made them both feel sick”. Plus, it’s the story that’s been dominating headlines for the past few days,  a ‘cheating scandal involving Married At First Sight, stars Olivia Frazer and Jackson Lonie. Now we need to talk about the publicity stunt accusations and what this says about the public’s appetite for reality TV stars and public misfortunes.

On the show today… Hollywood legend Ray Liotta died in his sleep, aged 67, in the Caribbean nation of the Dominican Republic, where he was shooting a film. And The Ellen DeGeneres Show has finally aired its final episode after 19 seasons. On her way out, Ellen revealed some secrets that show how far we have come since its beginnings, but will her and her show's legacy ever recover from its scandal-riddled 2020?

On the show today... Baz Luhrmann's Elvis biopic has debuted at Cannes Film Festival, receiving an incredible 12-minute standing ovation from the crowd. We're looking forward to the movie of course, but also to what we're dubbing 'Austin Butler season'. And Charlene, Princess of Monaco has given an interview shedding light on her health, after more than a year of speculation. There have long been conspiracies around Charlene, the so-called 'sad princess', so while the interview isn't especially groundbreaking, it does feel like a big step. Plus, Kate Moss has testified in the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial, with the supermodel's short testimony being heralded as a huge win for Team Depp. There's a long history as to why Moss' statement carries so much weight, but it's important to keep in mind that this is still far from case closed.

On the show today… The new trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder is here, revealing the usual stunning graphics and wild fight scenes, but also a lot of laughs and... a gratuitous look at Chris Hemsworth's bum. And Florence Pugh has found herself once again having to defend her relationship with Zach Braff, after fans celebrated paparazzi photos which they took as proof the controversial couple had broken up. It's a strange insight into fandom, and how celebrity social media use can lead to parasocial relationships, against their will. Plus, Calvin Harris is engaged. Yes, the Scottish musician who also happens to be the one Taylor Swift ex we all forgot about, has proposed to his partner of five months, Vick Hope. But considering the man also just announced new music, we can't help but feel a little bit cynical about this timing.

On the show today… In some real-life Gossip Girl news, the woman behind celebrity news Instagram account DeuxMoi has been identified, but a lot of people are disappointed by the reveal. And Kate Moss is about the testify in the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial, to the delight of millions of Depp fans online who have been waiting for this moment. Is the social media fanfare genuine, and who is really to blame? Plus, the 2022 Bachelor has been revealed... or should we say, Bachelors. This year, three (white) men will be giving out the roses on their quest for love, with the casting choice raising many valid conversations about a lack of diversity. This is not the season any of us saw coming, but now that it's here, we can't help but imagine all of the drama that's going to be hitting our scenes very soon.
