Brooke Blurton, Abbie Chatfield And Why We Expect Them To ‘Play Nice’
The Screen Actors Guild Award nominations have been announced and while many of our favourite movies and TV shows have been included on the prestigious list, one A-List actress was surprisingly left out. Until now it was believed that she would walk away with an Oscar, but now the whole race has opened up. Plus, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox have attended their first public event since announcing their engagement, and now we really need to talk about that (very staged) moment he got down on one knee. And The Bachelorette star Brooke Blurton has made some interesting comments about where her relationship stands with Abbie Chatfield following the events of last year. Her statement includes the words ‘we won’t ever be friends again but we are amicable’ and it highlighted the secret set of rules women in Australian media are forced to follow.

The Britney And Jamie Lynn Spears Feud Just Took An Ugly Turn
Whether we’re ready for it or not, Married at First Sight will be back on our screens this month and the full lineup of ‘brides and grooms’ has just been revealed. In true MAFs form, there are also some truly questionable people in the mix this year. Plus, Kanye West’s divorce from Kim Kardashian is not exactly going smoothly and he’s let the world know about it via a newly released song and some pretty intense social media videos. But there is a reason for his current publicity blitz and it has to do with Julia Fox, Pete Davidson, and a new TV show. And Britney Spears and her little sister Jamie Lynn have been having quite the war of words since Britney’s conservatorship ended and Jamie Lyn started doing publicity for her newly released memoir. This week some stories from their past caused their public feud to take an ugly turn.

Britney Spears, Chrissy Teigen And How The Stories Around Famous Women Changed in 2021
On the show today… 2021 saw the narratives around female celebrities change like never before. It was the year the Free Britney movement captivated the world and Paris Hilton’s legacy and rise to fame was told in a whole new, and much darker, way than ever before. We started asking questions about what really happened to Amanda Bynes and took a closer look at why the world had turned against Lindsay Lohan. But in a year where we obsessed about celebrity ‘bad’ girls having redemption arcs, we also became hungry for a different type of story. A story where former Hollywood 'good’ girls like Chrissy Teigen and Ellen DeGeneres were held to account and we appeared to revel in their downfalls. In today’s episode, we discuss how the stories around famous women have changed in 2021and what happens next.

On the show today… Sex and the City star Chris Noth has been accused of sexual assault by two women, who came forward separately with their stories to The Hollywood Reporter and gave detailed accounts of their alleged experiences. Chris Noth has now responded to the allegations as brands continue to distance themselves from him. And a month after reassuring fans that she wasn’t leaving Home And Away, Sam Frost has reportedly quit the series following her controversial stance on vaccinations and taking time away from filming.

Britney Spears, Brooke Shields And The ‘Criminal’ Interviews They Won’t Allow Us To Forget
On the show today… Kim Kardashian and her eldest daughter North West created a joint TikTok in order to share dances and funny clips, but we’re thinking Kim is regretting that decision right about now because North went rogue and did a live tour of their house without permission. And this week Ben Affleck appeared on The Howard Stern Show and gave an in-depth explanation about the breakdown of his marriage to Jennifer Garner, where he basically said he’d still be heavily drinking if they had remained married. Of course, this story is dominating headlines today, but is Ben just trying to distract us from another scandal he has brewing? Plus, this week Britney Spears and Brooke Shields have both publicly called out famous female journalists for the “criminal” interviews they conducted with them in the past, but there’s much more at play here than just two women who asked inappropriate questions.

Jennifer Aniston, Taylor Swift And The Power Of Monetizing An Underdog Story
On the show today… The Golden Globe nominations were announced today and the awards list is packed with impressive TV and movie titles while a number of A-List stars, such as Kristen Stewart, are being recognized for the first time. But judging from today’s reaction the big question is now, will anyone show up to the ceremony? And fans of Sex and the City were left devastated when the show’s revival killed off a fan favourite character in the first episode. Their rage needed to be directed somewhere and so it fell firmly on the shoulders of fitness company Peloton. Now a surprise ad has been released and smoothed the whole thing over, so why is Ryan Reynolds the real winner here? Plus, Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Swift have both been making headlines recently and it’s safe to say their careers and popularity are at an all-time high. And despite being in different areas of entertainment and different ages, they’ve both learned to peddle the same career narrative. So let's talk about why we’re so quick to label some of the world’s most successful women as ‘underdogs’.
