On the show today… In news that fans have been waiting for, Britney Spears has officially been freed from the conservatorship she has been under for 13 years. Britney herself did not attend the Los Angeles-based hearing, but her fans were on the ground waiting for the verdict and their reaction will go down in the pop culture history books. Photos and details from Paris Hilton’s three-day wedding extravaganza to Carter Reum have been released and now we need to talk about the details. Like why her groom wasn’t featured in the pictures, why Kim Kardashian wore a black dress, and the significance of Nicole Richie’s laugh.  And this weekend Taylor Swift released Red (Taylor’s Version), a re-recorded version of her 2012 album of the same name along with a short film starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien called All Too Well. Both the album and the film are packed with references to her infamous relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal, but once we dive into their backstory, every song lyric takes on a whole new meaning.

On the show today… Adele has given a new interview to Rolling Stone called 'It Fucking Devastated Me' ahead of her new album launch. Now we need to talk about what she said about life, her famous friends and most importantly dating as Adele. And Meghan Markle has apologised for misleading a British court about the extent of her co-operation with the authors of a book about her and Prince Harry, which they denied at the time of its release. The couple’s former communications director shared emails from Meghan and Harry showing their involvement in the book and now we have to talk about how this information will impact their legacy. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! This week we have an addictive Netflix documentary and a new dark thriller series to recommend to you, and we’re joined by a special celebrity guest to give you a little behind the scenes information.

On the show today… The first trailer for season four of Selling Sunset has been released and along with announcing some surprising new cast members, the trailer offered up news of a few extra twists coming to the hit reality show. Plus, Paul Rudd has been named People’s 2021 Sexiest Man Alive and he's...confused by it. Look, we’re not here to debate how good looking Paul Rudd is, but awarding him this title shows the magazine is scrambling to make some big changes to the sexy cover criteria and if you look back at past winners, it’s easy to see why. And for many years Daniel Johns and Natalie Imbruglia were Australia’s It Couple, followed by photographers and with details of their marriage splashed across magazine covers. News of their divorce very much painted one of them in a bad light, but now they have come together to talk for the first time about why their relationship really ended.

On the show today… It’s the news fans have been waiting for!  Squid Game, Netflix’s most-watched show of all time, is coming back for a second season and according to series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, it will be centred on the return of a key character who has a new mission. And one of the key consultants on royal drama The Crown, Jemima Khan, is walking away from the series. Jemima said she was brought on to help the series portray the life of her close friend Princess Diana, but says the story is not being told respectfully. The team behind The Crown have now released a statement and they’re telling a very different side to the story. Plus, Kim Kardashian And Pete Davidson have been spotted on some glamorous dates and it appears that their romance and/or publicity stunt is just getting started. Kanye West has now given his thoughts on the subject and if you read behind the lines of his latest interview, it’s clear he’s kickstarted a war against Kim and Pete.

On the show today… New details have emerged about the lead-up to the Astroworld tragedy that left eight people dead. It’s been reported that police paid a visit to Travis Scott prior to his performance to advise him that going ahead with the concert could be dangerous. Travis Scott and Drake are now both being sued over the incident. Plus, it’s the video everyone is talking about today. Amazon billionaire and wannabe astronaut, Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez attended a glitzy Hollywood event and were seen interacting with Leonardo DiCaprio. Lauren, very understandably, was left swooning and now Jeff Bezos appears to be threatening Leo via Twitter. And Will Smith has spoken publicly about the moment his son Jaden Smith asked to be legally separated from his parents following the epic failure of the movie they produced in order to make him a star. Will said he can’t bring himself to repeat what was said about Jaden at the time, but this story explains why both of the Smith children feuded with their parents over their careers.

On the show today… In some of the biggest movie casting news to be released this year, the leads for the upcoming Wicked movie have been announced. At the same time, fans have banded together to start a petition to block one particular star from taking place in the movie musical. And just like that Sarah Jessica Parker has appeared on the cover of the December 2021 issue of Vogue, talking about the upcoming Sex and the City reboot and addressing negative remarks about her characters appearance on the show, calling it ‘misogynist chatter’. And more information has come to light about the deadly Astroworld concert crush, which resulted in eight deaths, as people at the event have shared their horrific accounts of what took place in the crowd as Travis Scott performed. Both he and Kylie Jenner have issued statements about what they saw happen, but now we need to talk about Travis’s past behaviour.

On the show today… The Farmer Wants a Wife cast for 2022 has been announced and this time the lineup is a little different to past years, with a new guest host and a new format in the mix. And Dakota Johnson is The Hollywood Reporter’s newest cover star and there’s one section of her interview that readers have found quite alarming. Dakota was asked about the behaviour of her most problematic co-stars, and let's just say her answer was not what anyone was wanting to hear. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! In today’s show, we’re recommending a prestigious new Netflix drama with an all-star cast and a new blockbuster film that has already stirred up controversy.

On the show today… In a new turn of events, Britney Spears has claimed that it was actually her mother Lynne who pushed for her to be put under the controversial conservatorship all those years ago. It’s just one of the startling claims made by Britney in a now-deleted Instagram post. Plus, it’s that special time of year again because Gwyneth Paltrow and her GOOP team have released their annual gift guide and as usual it’s packed with weird and wonderful things that no real person would ever actually buy. So now we need to talk through the most outrageous things on the list. And right now there is a big conversation happening around Celeste Barber and  Emily Ratajkowski. As part of her popular parody series, Celeste posted a video of Emily that has been labeled problematic and misogynistic. But this conversation is too complicated to be boiled down to just one point and to truly understand what’s happening you need to understand Emily’s backstory and the commentary Celeste was weighing in on.

On the show today… Kristen Stewart has confirmed that she is engaged to her longtime girlfriend, screenwriter Dylan Meyer. The two women have had quite the epic love story and the plans for their upcoming wedding sound very un-Hollywood-like. Plus, after posting a video about choosing not to get the COVID-19 vaccination, Home and Away actress Sam Frost announced yesterday that she will be leaving her role on the show temporarily, returning as soon as she is fully vaccinated in mid-late February 2022. But not all her followers have seen this as positive news and her words have sparked a different kind of fury. And, Justin Biber and Hailey Bieber are in the headlines today thanks to appearing on a new podcast where they discuss the highs and lows of their marriage. Fans have been quick to zero in on one problematic statement from Hailey, which has led to resurfaced ‘abusive videos’ of the couple and a haunting statement from Selena Gomez.

On the show today… The Real Housewives franchise is about to get a whole lot bigger. Andy Cohen has announced that the first international Housewives series will soon be on screens and it will feature the most lavish lifestyles yet. And Big Brother VIP premiered last night on Channel 7, and the two big international names who were brought in to rack up headlines wasted no time in spilling the secrets of their famous families. But one story, in particular, will have lasting repercussions for the Kardashians. Plus, the team that shone a spotlight on the mistreatment of Britney Spears have now set their sights on Janet Jackson, and let's just say that things are not looking good for Justin Timberlake.  The next documentary in The New York Times Presents series is called Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson and some never before heard facts about that infamous day are about to come to light.
