On the show today… Channel 7 has announced that Nigella Lawson will join the cast of My Kitchen Rules as a judge for the 2022 season, but her appointment seems to have stirred up a little rivalry with another Australian network. Plus, Megan Thee Stallion has given her first interview about the 2020 incident where rapper Troy Lanez allegedly told her to ‘dance’ and proceeded to shoot her in the foot. The reaction to the interview is not what anybody was expecting and we need to talk about why. Plus, Ben Affleck has somehow become the breakout star of the new season of Selling Sunset, thanks to one of the stars of the show saying he tried to chase her down on the celebrity dating app Raya. Ben Affleck and his team are now telling a very different story but when it comes to online dating scandals this is not Ben's first offense. And he's not the only high-profile celebrity who has been caught out.

On the show… The defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is in its second week, with a series of brutal allegations being made from both sides. Now some famous faces have been pulled into the fight, starting with a series of disturbing text messages between Johnny Depp and Marvel star Paul Bettany. And for decades, Katherine Heigl has been known as a Hollywood villain. Famous for tanking her lucrative movie career thanks to bad on-set behaviour and burning all her bridges with Grey's Anatomy, the show that made her famous. Now her former co-star Ellen Pompeo has made a surprising statement that changes the whole story. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! We have two addictive new dramas, with fantastic female leads, that will keep you glued to a screen this weekend.

On the show today… A$AP Rocky has been arrested after returning from a trip to Barbados with his pregnant girlfriend, Rihanna. Here’s everything you need to know. Plus, we all woke up to the exciting news that Sofi Richie is engaged to her boyfriend of one year, Elliot Grainge,  but that was not the story making headlines. Instead, it was all to do with Scott Disick and a certain rom-com curse that has been put over him and the women he dates. And Rachel Zegler has given an interview to Elle detailing the brutal press rounds she was forced to do while promoting her first-ever movie West Side Story. It’s now got us thinking about the one problematic question derailing celebrity interviews in a Me Too era, and what it means for the future of entertainment journalism.  CREDITS Hosts: Laura Brodnik & Chelsea McLaughlin Producers: Laura Brodnik & Gia Moylan Audio Producer: Rhiannon Mooney WANT MORE?

On the show today… Marvel has released the first trailer for Thor: Love And Thunder, directed by Taika Waititi, and let's just say that Chris Hemsworth is not the star we’re looking at. Plus, Blac Chyna's defamation trial against the Kardashians is underway and during jury selection one man told an unnecessary story about Kim Kardashian’s sex tape, leading to a response that had no place in a courtroom. And after taking a few years away from Hollywood, Julia Roberts is back on our screens and once again making headlines. All thanks to a new New York Times profile where she makes some devise comments about her history with romantic comedies. She also talks about living her life in the spotlight,  leading us to wonder why some of her most scandalous stories have been erased.

On the show today… Lizzo joined a very elite club this weekend, becoming one of a handful of performers who have hosted Saturday Night Live and appeared as the night’s musical guest. But it’s the news about her new relationship that has really got us interested. Plus, over the weekend a scandal erupted around Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, with a rogue tweet leading news outlets to report that A$AP had cheated on his pregnant girlfriend with her co-worker. Now the full story has come to light, but the fate of this famous couple is already sealed. And it’s been reported that actress Thandiwe Newton was fired from the new Magic Mike movie after getting into an intense argument on set with Channing Tatum. The stories that have leaked from the set paint a pretty troubling picture of what happened between the stars, but the headlines are only telling one side of the story.

On the show today… The first trailer and the release date for the highly anticipated new series Conversations With Friends were released today, giving us our first look at the show adapted from the bestselling book by author Sally Rooney. And Jennifer Lopez has released more details about her engagement to Ben Affleck, sharing a very intimate story about a bubble bath. It’s all meant to be very romantic, but it turns out she’s actually doing damage control. Plus, Rihanna is Vogue’s May cover star, appearing on a breathtakingly beautiful cover and giving a very rare interview about her life, her romance with A$AP Rocky and her pregnancy. The cover is meant to be groundbreaking, but all it really does is highlight the problem with singular body worship in the entertainment world.

On the show today… Johnny Depp’s $50m defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard has begun this week, a battle that has been years in the making between the former famous couple. And Britney Spears has announced her pregnancy via a slightly vague Instagram post. So why are some outlets reporting it with a hint of raised eyebrows? Hidden amongst her happy news is also a sign that, despite the hype of the ‘Free Britney’ movement, we really haven’t learned anything from the last few years. Plus, Hollywood’s version of a royal wedding took place this week, between actress and heiress Nicola Peltz and celebrity offspring Brooklyn Beckham. The glitzy wedding images have been splashed across every corner of Vogue, but at the same time, quite a few scandals have erupted from the event, involving Victoria Beckham and Meghan Markle.

On the show today… The Academy of Motion Pictures and Arts have handed down their punishment to Will Smith after he slapped presenter and comedian Chris Rock at The Oscars. The actor has been banned from the Academy for ten years, but that doesn’t mean he can’t scoop up more awards in the near future. And it’s the moment fans have been waiting for, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are engaged but it’s safe to say that their announcement choice was…puzzling. So, why did the biggest stars in the world turn their romance into a shameless data grab? Plus, in the lead-up to their new TV series kicking off, you can’t escape Kardashian news right now. From a hyped sit-down interview to a media frenzy at their premiere, we’re starting to see certain members of the famous family in a whole new way, and it hasn’t ended well for everyone.
