On the show today… Meghan Markle is launching a brand new podcast, but the story behind how it came to life is actually a little chaotic.

On the show today... In movie news we’ve all been waiting for, we’ve finally been given a first look at the highly anticipated film adaption of the best-selling novel Where the Crawdads Sing, via a Vanity Fair article showing a series of lush photos from the set along with some insider secrets. And filmmaker Jane Campion has been enjoying an extraordinary run with her critically acclaimed movie The Power of the Dog, which is the most Oscar-nominated movie of the year. But when accepting her Critics Choice Award this week she made a comment about Venus and Serena Williams that made headlines and resulted in a difficult conversation. Plus, Rebel Wilson hosted the British Academy Film Awards for the first time this week, and even though she has a legacy of being one of the event's most popular presenters the feedback has been brutal. During the ceremony an image of her flashed across the screens, leading to an unwelcome round of applause, and it’s a moment that highlighted the true nature of the entertainment industry.

On the show today… Over the weekend it was reported by TMZ that Hailey Bieber had been rushed to hospital with brain complications as a result of suspected COVID, but her official statement told a different story. And Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have made their relationship Instagram official, but the story behind why is not very romantic.
