The Chilling New Story Behind Brittany Murphy’s Death
On the show today… In happy news, Adele has confirmed that she is about to release her first new music in six years. Her new single, Easy on Me, is set for release on 15 October, ahead of her fourth album. While her fans are no doubt excited, this news has sent a slew of other A-List stars on a mad scramble to change their own release dates. Plus, ever since the release of her documentary This Is Paris, Paris Hilton has maintained that her parents had her kidnapped and sent away to an abusive boarding school due to her sneaking out and going to parties as a young teenager. Now, her mother Kathy Hilton has given an explosive new interview about her daughter and her side of the story is very different. And Brittany Murphy was one of the most beloved and bankable movie stars in the late 90s and early 2000s, before tragically passing away at just 32 years old. The mystery surrounding her death, and the death of her husband Simon Monjack just five months later from seemingly similar causes, has long been one of Hollywood’s most buzzed-about mysteries. Now a new documentary has been released featuring some chilling new interviews about what really happened to the actress.

The Video That Destroyed Denise Richards And Charlie Sheen’s Family
On the show today… Channel 10 dropped the first full trailer for the new season of The Bachelorette starring Brooke Blurton, and in doing so, revealed a pretty dramatic plot point from the upcoming reality series. It’s also the first time we saw how the show is going to handle having both men and women vying for the Bachelorette’s heart, and the result was pretty surprising. And, it’s the celebrity news we never wanted to hear, yet here we are. Grammy-award-winning singer Meghan Trainor and her husband, Spy Kids actor Daryl Sabara have opened up about their controversial shared bathroom habit and honestly, that’s enough with all celebrity interviews for the rest of the year. Plus, Denise Richards And Charlie Sheen are making headlines again this week thanks to a judge making an unexpected ruling in their ongoing custody arrangement. The news comes after one of their daughters posted a worrying video to her TikTok account, raising questions about what’s really going on with this famous family.

Emily Ratajkowski, Robin Thicke And A Dangerous Lie
On the show today… In news that will make millennials swoon, Lindsay Lohan is launching her very own podcast, one that promises to show a never-before-seen side of the star and our expectations are high. Channel 7 has surprisingly released the full line-up for the 2022 season of SAS Australia, even though the current season is still unfolding. The cast list contains the names of models, Olympians and reality TV stars, but one name in particular has left the people of Australia furious. Plus, actress and model Emily Ratajkowski has accused musician Robin Thicke of sexually assaulting her in an excerpt from her upcoming debut book My Body. It looks like Thicke knew the allegations were about to come out, because he’s been doing a pretty extensive image overhaul this year.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Jessica Rowe And Pauline Hanson
On the show today… The Pepsi Super Bowl 56 Halftime performers have officially been announced and - brace yourselves - it is a pretty iconic lineup. And this week, journalist Jessica Rowe released a new episode of her podcast, which featured a long-form interview with politician and One Nation founder Pauline Hanson. When she released the episode, Jessica made it clear that she did not align with Pauline’s political stance. However, people were quick to point out that giving her a platform, knowing her history and public views, was still a dangerous move. The episode has since been deleted, but it has left us with an uncomfortable truth about the way politics and entertainment intersect in Australia. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! This week we’re talking about a nail-biting new thriller that dropped this week and a spooky prestige series that has launched its new season with a bang.

The Video That Could Topple Kylie Jenner’s Empire
On the show today… In huge news for Britney Spears, her father Jamie Spears has finally been suspended as her conservator after more than a decade in the role. The judge ordered Jamie to turn over all financial books and documents related to his daughter and although this is a positive step forward, the story is not over yet. And Network Ten has released the first official trailer of Brooke Blurton as the next Bachelorette and it’s unlike any other promo we’ve seen before. It also signalled the first big divide between how audiences view The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. For the first time ever, The Bachelorette feels like the main event. Plus, the world’s (alleged) youngest billionaire Kylie Jenner has expanded her empire with the launch of Kylie Swim. Although there was initially some confusion around why she would release a swimwear line at the end of the American summer, Kylie’s influence ensured the new line went gangbusters with sales. However, customers are now sharing videos of their purchases and it’s highlighted a pretty alarming problem.

The Three Biggest Bombshells From The New Britney Spears Documentary
On the show today… In news that will surprise no one, Full House star Lori Loughlin will return to TV in her first role since being sent to jail for her part in the college admissions scandal in 2019. Meanwhile, her daughter Olivia Jade has also been handed a shiny new TV role. Plus, the world premiere of No Time to Die, the latest James Bond film, took place in London today. Even though the event featured a full red carpet turn out with the movie's A-list cast, all eyes were on Kate Middleton and her show-stopping dress. It says a lot about what we’re all feeling at this stage of the pandemic. And the new Netflix documentary, Britney vs Spears, premiered this week where journalist Jenny Eliscu and filmmaker Erin Lee Carr investigate the conservatorship Britney has lived under for the past 13 years. From never-before-seen documents to in-depth interviews with Britney’s past inner circle, the documentary is full of bombshells. But should the way it’s been pulled together raise a red flag?

Will Smith & Jada Pinkett-Smith Confessed To The One Scandal We Can't Forgive
On the show today… R&B singer R. Kelly was found guilty of racketeering following decades of sexual abuse allegations. In the indictment, prosecutors accused R Kelly and members of his team of travelling throughout the US and abroad to perform at concert venues in order to recruit women and girls to engage in illegal sexual activity with Kelly as far back as 1999. And in some romantic news for today, it’s been reported that actress and author Lena Dunham has married English Peruvian musician Luis Felber in a secret ceremony over the weekend. The news comes after Lena publicly spoke about undergoing a horrific health diagnosis and ending her former relationship in the public eye. Plus, it’s the new magazine profile everyone is talking about. A long-form interview with Will Smith has been published in the new issue of GQ, and it shows a side of the Hollywood superstar we don’t normally get to see. It also highlights a rumour that has followed Will and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith for decades, and for the first time, the actor has confirmed that yes, it’s true. But his reluctance to delve further into the topic highlights there are some ‘scandals’ the world just can’t forgive.
