Amanda Bynes, Britney Spears And Why History Is Not Repeating

On the show today… Australia’s 2022 Eurovision entrant has been revealed following a public vote at the Australia Decides event on the Gold Coast over the weekend. And The 2022 NAACP Image Awards have taken place. The awards are presented by The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to honour outstanding performances across the arts and social justice. Big winners from the event included Jennifer Hudson and Will Smith along with a special appearance by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Plus, actress Amanda Bynes has filed a petition to end her nearly nine-year-long conservatorship. For decades, the child star turned leading lady was one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars before a string of legal and personal issues forced her to retreat from the spotlight. Now the question is, why are fans not rallying around her in the same way they did with Britney Spears? It could be because the two stories could not be more different.

A Troubling Observation About Alicia Keys And Kanye West

On the show today… An excerpt from the upcoming book Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road has been published on  Vanity Fair and finally tells the real story behind the feud that erupted between the movie’s stars Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy. And it’s been announced that Emmy Rossum and Tom Holland are starring in a new Apple series together and the casting news has been met with quite a bit of backlash, but there could be more to this story than the initial press release let on. Plus, it’s no secret that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been having a difficult time behind the scenes recently, with their divorce, custody issues, and mental health struggles spilling out into the public domain. This week they both took part in big promotions for their latest projects and it caused even more parts of their lives and career choices to be put under the microscope.

Netflix’s Aussie Influencer Show Has Stirred Up A New Controversy

On the show today… Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s very public divorce settlement has taken another messy turn this week with the news that Brad is now suing Angelina and requesting a jury be brought in. And this week on SAS Australia, Wayne Carey - a man described as a ‘football legend’ in his intro - opened up about his past but it’s not the only story Australia should be hearing. SAS Australia is continuing its trend of problematic redemption arcs for men, and it’s getting more dangerous than ever before. Plus, Netflix has gifted us the very first trailer for their controversial new reality series Byron Baes, which tracks the drama among a group of models, influencers, and entrepreneurs all living in Australia’s new version of Hollywood. The show has already had a rough road to production, but now we need to talk about a whole new controversy.

Nicole Kidman’s Magazine Cover Is Selling A New Kind Of Lie

On the show today… Following on from the backlash he received from his Netflix special The Closer, it’s been confirmed that Dave Chappelle is now working on four new comedy projects with Netflix, but there’s an extra twist to the story. And Britney Spears has signed a ‘record-breaking’ book deal for a tell-all memoir that will share never before heard details about her life, career and the conservatorship. There’s a smart reason why she picked this medium to tell her story and one family member is already reacting. Plus, in the last week four famous women’s bodies and faces have been the source of intense debate and scrutiny. Linda Evangelista, Madonna, Nicole Kidman, and Courteney Cox have sparked a conversation about unrealistic beauty standards and ageing, but the conversation is more complex than just one photoshopped magazine cover.

The Zoë Kravitz Effect Remade Channing Tatum

On the show today… Kendall Jenner’s Tequila brand is being sued by a rival company and now her older sister Kim Kardashian has been pulled into the legal mess. And Chrissy Teigen has posted a powerful statement to her Instagram account, sharing how painful it is to be constantly asked if she’s pregnant when she’s “just the opposite”. In a world where celebrity pregnancy announcements and stories of motherhood are looking particularly glossy, Chrissy’s words cut through in a different way. Plus, there’s something different about Channing Tatum. The reaction to his latest photoshoot and interview are making fans see him in a whole new light and it’s hard not to put it down to the Zoe Kravitz Effect. But why is this behaviour from Zoe Kravitz viewed as romantic and when Kanye West did it, it came across as problematic?

Zoë Kravitz, Naomi Campbell & The Celebrity Motherhood Myth

On the show today… In TV news today, Australia will become the first country outside the US to make a local series of the long-running police investigative drama NCIS. Here’s everything you need to know. Plus, everyone is still buzzing about Netflix's news series Inventing Anna, based on the story of Anna Sorokin, who pretended to be a wealthy German heiress under the name Anna Delvey and was arrested in 2017. Now Anna is critiquing the show on her own Instagram account and threatening to sell even more secrets to the highest bidder. And Zoë Kravitz and Naomi Campbell are both on magazine covers this week, giving interviews about two very different stages of motherhood and fertility. Both these interviews are groundbreaking in different ways, but they can also be incredibly damaging when it comes to promoting the celebrity motherhood myth.

A Celebrity Controversy At The Super Bowl

On the show today… In good news for Bridgerton fans, a new trailer has been released today by Netflix and it gives us some new insight into what’s really going to happen in season two. And a great love story (or at least, a very entertaining one) has come to an end after Julia Fox confirmed she had officially ended things with Kanye West. It all seemed very polite until a now-deleted statement gave us an idea of what she’s really thinking. Plus, it’s that special time of the year when we care about sports. Or, at least, the halftime entertainment. The 2022 Super Bowl featured a show that was both groundbreaking and filled with controversy, and the celebrity-packed audience put on a show worthy of the Oscars. You can watch the full Superbowl performance here. Or listen to the Superbowl Spotify playlist here.
