An Uncomfortable Realisation About Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake
On the show today… Following calls from high profile names such as Prince Harry, Meghan Markel, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Bruce Springsteen for Spotify to hold one of its most popular shows to account for spreading COVID-19 misinformation, the man behind the complaints, Joe Rogan, has now issued his own statement. Plus, Rihanna and boyfriend A$AP Rocky have decided to let the world know they are expecting their first child together via a series of pretty impressive pics. Rihanna has yet to post the images to her own social accounts though, and there’s a reason for that. And the highly anticipated Janet Jackson documentary has premiered in Australia on Stan. We now need to talk about the biggest reveals and why Justin Timberlake’s name, although problematic, should be mentioned throughout the documentary.

Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan And An Ugly Tabloid Feud
On the show today… A slew of famous names, including Prince Harry, Meghan Markel, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Bruce Springsteen are calling on Spotify to make some big changes to one of its most popular podcasts due to dangerous Covid-19 misinformation. Allow us to quickly explain exactly what has happened. And Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne has been dismissed from the embezzlement and fraud lawsuit against her estranged husband, Tom Girardi. But there are still some pretty scandalous questions circling the reality TV star. Plus, Paris Hilton has set the record straight on where she stands with Lindsay Lohan after the two women waged a decade-long feud in the public eye. There’s a pretty clever reason why the pair have changed their minds about each other, so let's talk about how their actions actually changed tabloid culture forever.

A Question About Gwyneth Paltrow’s New Sex Toy
On the show today… Australian TV host and former Deal or No Deal and Weekend Sunrise presenter Andrew O'Keefe has been charged after allegedly grabbing a woman's throat before kicking and punching her in Sydney's CBD. And Gwyneth Paltrow and the team at Goop have released their Valentine's Day gift guide and predictably it’s full of a few weird and wonderful (and expensive) things. After extensively pouring over the list, there’s now one sex toy, in particular, we have a few follow-up questions about. Plus, it’s time for Weekend Watch! And we have a new drama with a standout cast and a satirical Netflix series to recommend to you.

How A Sex Tape Changed Kanye West’s ‘Villain’ Story
On the show today... The International Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) awards were announced last night, giving the world Australia’s official verdict on the best new movies and TV shows from the last year, and there were a few surprises in the mix. And Taylor Swift made headlines after publicly calling out musician Damon Albarn after he gave an interview to the LA Times claiming she doesn’t write her own songs. But if you read the full interview, there are a few important quotes missing from this story. Plus, the extended version of Kanye West’s interview with Hollywood Unlocked has been released and in it, Ye (Kanye West) claims that he recently stopped a second sex tape of estranged wife Kim Kardashian and singer, Ray J from leaking and we have two very different opinions on his motives behind this.

The Shows You Should Be Watching On Jan 26th
Mamamia only refers to January 26 by its date, to acknowledge that it is not a day of celebration for all Australians. Instead of publishing an episode of The Spill today, Kee & Laura are providing recommendations for some excellent First Nations content (see links below). If you want to be an ally this January 26, we urge you to send your MP a letter about the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for constitutional change and structural reform that recognises the sacred, ancient spiritual link Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to their land. You can use this letter template to email your MP. RECOMMENDATIONS Incarceration Nation (SBS On Demand) Preppers (ABC iView) Total Control (ABC iView) You can hear Kee & Laura's chat with Nakkiah Lui and Miranda Tapsell here.

The Aussie Influencer Drama We Can’t Turn Away From
On the show today… Australian Survivor: Blood V Water is set to hit our screens very soon and Network Ten has released the full cast lineup, including some famous Australian names and a few interesting backstories. And last year actress Evan Rachel Wood accused her former partner, musician Marilyn Manson, of abuse and now, in a new documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, has made further and more disturbing allegations against him. Plus, we need to talk about the Australian influencer scandal currently making headlines and blowing up group chats. Influencer Jadé Tuncdoruk has angered people after asking her followers to pressure a small business into giving her a refund. The story has exploded with apologies and leaked emails, but there’s a bigger conversion about influencer culture happening here.

Behind Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas’ Baby Backlash
On the show today… We’ve been given our first look at the highly anticipated new Stan series Joe vs Carole, hooked on larger-than-life characters Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin. The series features an all-star cast, including Kate McKinnon. Plus, Adele has shocked fans by canceling her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency, just 24 hours before the opening night. She then went out of her way to make it up to ticket holders via some surprise message, but now insiders are saying there was a much more sinister story unfolding behind the scenes. And actress Priyanka Chopra and her husband, singer Nick Jonas, have announced via Instagram that they have welcomed their first baby via surrogate. Instead of celebration, the couple were met with a wave of online hatred and wild conspiracy theories, and it can all be traced back to a few key events that took place many years ago.

Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly & A Dangerous Publicity Stunt
André Leon Talley, an influential fashion journalist, author, former editor-at-large of US Vogue, and beloved TV star has sadly died at the age of 73. The entertainment and fashion industry is now celebrating his legacy and the way he used his position and influence to champion diversity. Plus, Australian singer-songwriter turned director, Sia, has opened up about the fallout from her highly controversial debut movie Music, which starred Kate Hudson and Maddie Ziegler. Sia revealed it was Kathy Griffin who helped her through her own ‘cancellation’, but she left out some pretty important pieces of the story. And, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox have given their first interview about their recent engagement, but one detail, in particular, sounds anything but romantic. Fans are calling it a red flag that could be linked to alleged abuse behind the scenes, and now Kanye West’s actions are also in the spotlight.

For decades Joss Whedon was one of the most beloved people in the entertainment industry, creating hit TV shows like Buffy The Vampire Slayer and blockbuster movies like The Avengers, then his whole legacy started to unravel.
