Unpacking The Humiliation Of Sienna Miller
On the show today… In a twist that everyone saw coming, it turns out that Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker did not get married after the Grammys. But that doesn’t mean that some parts of their wild Vegas wedding story aren't true. And just when you thought Serena Williams couldn’t get any more impressive, she’s penned a beautiful personal essay for ELLE Magazine titled, How Serena Williams Saved Her Own Life. Her words will help women everywhere. Plus, in the early 2000s, there was no It Girl who could hold a candle to the publicity around Sienna Miller. Then, a high-profile cheating scandal with her movie star fiancee Jude Law took over her career, and her name was mercilessly dragged through the tabloids. Now, thanks to a new Netflix role that taps into that pain, her story needs to be told from a new angle. Read the full article about Sienna Miller here.

The Fall Of Zoe Kravitz
On the show today… In very sad news, Bruce Willis is stepping away from his acting career at age 67 after being diagnosed with aphasia. His family banded together to release a statement to his fans to let them know how they came to the heartbreaking decision. And Lizzo has made an exciting announcement, via a lovely butt tattoo, about her new business and we have no time for anyone calling it problematic. Plus, Zoe Kravitz was Hollywood’s reigning golden girl, until this week when two Instagram posts caused people to band together and plot her downfall. The movement has been described as ‘the fall of Zoe Kravitz’ and it says more about a change in celebrity culture than it does about Zoe.

The Jada Pinkett Smith Story No One Wants To Hear
On the show today… In an unexpected turn of events, Lady Gaga and Caitlyn Jenner are making headlines. An odd exchange between the two women was captured on camera as they headed into an Oscars event, and let's just say it’s uncomfortably relatable for anyone who is not Lady Gaga. Plus, this week Jada Pinkett Smith’s name has flooded headlines and opinion pieces. All thanks to the fact that her husband Will Smith stormed the stage at the Oscars after presenter Chris Rock joked about her medical position. It all leads back to a story that Jada has been trying to tell us about Hollywood for years, but no one wants to listen.

What Really Led To The Will Smith Oscars Slap
On the show today… The 42nd Golden Raspberry Awards, which honour the worst movies and actors in Hollywood, were announced this week and they’re pretty much the opposite of the Oscars. One A-lister, in particular, was the biggest “winner” of the night. Plus, the Oscars took place today, but before we get to the ceremony, we need to talk about the red carpet antics and why some celebrity outfits stirred up a bit of anger. And now we need to talk about Will Smith, Chris Rock and what really led to the Oscars slap. It’s the unexpected Oscar’s moment everyone is talking about, but there’s a much bigger story at play here than what we saw on screen, and the fallout is sure to be huge.
