We Need To Talk About The Emmys’ Biggest Scandal
On the show today… In royal news, Princess Beatrice, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, has given birth to her first child. No name has been released yet, but there’s still an interesting tidbit to be found in the announcement. And we need to talk about the Emmys red carpet, or more specifically, how the best-dressed looks from the carpet were reported. A few actresses' looks were given the spotlight, but there’s an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. Plus, the Emmys ceremony was chock full of surprises, scandals, and even a few tear-inducing moments, and now we need to talk through them all. The show’s ratings might have been at an all-time high, but now a flood of backlash around the winner's list could be set to change how the awards run for good.

The Real Story Behind Kim Kardashian’s Sex Tape Just Surfaced
On the show today… In Australian TV news, the Seven Network has announced the full cast for the second season of Dancing With The Stars: All Stars. Quite a few familiar names are in the mix, in a bid for a second shot at dancing glory, but it’s the new slate of wild card entries we need to talk about. Plus, the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards took place today and a few stars made a bit of splash on the red carpet with outfits that looked straight out of The Handmaid's Tale and American Horror Story. There were also some wild moments at the start of the ceremony, but there’s also been a drastic change to how people now talk at awards shows that we need to unpack. And reports have surfaced that a second Kim Kardashian sex tape is in existence and is being shopped around to potential buyers. Kim’s team have already stepped in to shut down the situation, but it’s led to the story around her original sex tape resurfacing. A story that’s been reported incorrectly for decades.

The Two Controversial TV Shows The World Is Talking About
On the show today… It was the show that caused a wave of international backlash and now The Activist, an upcoming reality TV series starring Usher, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Julianne Hough is no more. An apology has been issued and the competition is not going ahead, but is the new way forward for this show really a good idea? Plus, a new unauthorised book entitled How to Save a Life: The Inside Story of Grey’s Anatomy is being unleashed into the world and it might be the juiciest TV show tell-all the world has seen. The book has laid out exactly why one of the lead characters left the award-winning series and it's safe to say that this is not the last we will hear of this on-set drama. And it’s Weekend Watch time! Today we’re recommending the return of a classic, groundbreaking TV series and talking about a prestigious new limited series that made headlines before the first episode had even aired.

The Untold Story Behind Meghan And Harry's Time Magazine Cover
On the show today… The 2021 ARIA Awards are nearly upon us and this year they are going to look refreshingly different. There have been some huge changes made to how the two major categories are judged and it’s sure to shake up the Australian music industry. Plus, we’re back in the swing of glitzy awards shows and red carpets but they are definitely not all they are cracked up to be, at least according to a spicy new interview with Ed Sheeran. The award-winning musician has lifted the lid on what really goes on behind the scenes of the world’s biggest award shows and look, it sounds pretty brutal. And it’s the new magazine cover everyone is talking about. Time Magazine has released their annual list of The World’s Most 100 Influential People of 2021 and for the first time, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have appeared together formally for a magazine cover. The cover itself has received a wave of ridicule, but the cover story contains a pretty pointed message for the couple’s biggest and most vocal critics.

Chrissy Teigen, Blake Lively & The Story We’re All Too Afraid To Tell
On the show today… In an unexpected turn of events, Britney Spears has deleted her Instagram account. The move comes after the star announced her engagement on Instagram and just days after her father Jamie Spears filed a petition to terminate her conservatorship. Britney posted on her Twitter account that she was ok, but fans are still suspicious. And this year’s Met Gala is just the gift that keeps on giving. Hailey Bieber looked a little depressed at the event and now that we know what really happened before she stepped on the red carpet, it's completely understandable. And Kim Kardashian is still making headlines for her Met Gala look, and it’s all tied back to Kanye West. Plus, Chrissy Teigan has shared a very candid video explaining some recent surgical work she has had done to her face. While her honesty is refreshing, it has also opened up a difficult discussion around famous women’s faces, and the stories we’re not allowed to tell, even when they affect our own lives.

Nicki Minaj, Kylie Jenner And A Secret Met Gala Conspiracy
On the show today… The first teaser trailer for Olivia Wilde’s highly anticipated new movie, Don’t Worry Darling, was released today, and let's just say it’s both sexy and terrifying. But that’s not the only reason people can’t stop talking about this upcoming release. Plus, today marks the triumphant return of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, more affectionately known as the Met Gala, and the OTT celebrity looks did not disappoint. But along with a wild red carpet, one celebrity, in particular, took a pretty strong stance over not attending, and now there’s a conspiracy theory in the works about who else silently joined in. And, we need to talk about the industry's most infamous awards show, the MTV Video Music Awards, which took place this week. Along with a few groundbreaking performances and historic wins, there was quite a lot of drama behind the scenes. From the Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly moment that wasn’t caught on camera to Kourtney Kardashian trolling the audience, there’s a lot to unpack here.

J-Lo And Ben Affleck Sent Us A Message With Their Red Carpet Debut
On the show today… In a sweet announcement video, Britney Spears has confirmed that she is engaged to her partner of four years, Sam Asghari. It’s welcome news for Britney as she fights to have her conservatorship removed, but now one rogue comment on her announcement, made by an Oscar-winning actress, is what’s making headlines. And it’s the new TV show everyone is talking about...but not in a good way. Usher, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Julianne Hough are co-hosting a new reality TV series called The Activist, where six activists go head-to-head in challenges to promote their causes. The show has been met with extreme backlash, but there’s a bigger issue to discuss here. Plus, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have made their triumphant return to the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival, but it doesn’t appear to be a decision they made lightly. Their loved-up appearance is timed nearly 18 years to the day when their relationship was at its worst, and Jennifer's choice of dress proves it wasn’t an accident.

Why Kaley Cuoco Had To Date Pete Davidson
On the show today… Start your engines! Today it was announced that the Stan Original Series RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under will return for a second season in 2022. But this time around there’s a new plot twist with the casting, and it sounds like the series is going to be bigger and better than ever before. Plus, this week it was announced that Kaley Cuoco and her husband, Karl Cook, were divorcing after three years of marriage. The actress said she felt compelled to tell her followers about the breakup because they had shared so much of their life publicly, but it hasn't stopped people digging for dirt about what really happened. Now Pete Davidson has been added to the story, and we’ve got a pretty compelling theory about why every young Hollywood star feels the need to date him. And it’s Weekend Watch time! There are two new TV shows on The Spill’s radar this week, and we need to talk about both of them.

The Day Julia Roberts’ T-Shirt Started A Tabloid War
On the show today… The new Netflix movie He’s All That might have been slammed with bad reviews but its leading lady, TikTok star Addison Rae, has just come out on top with a surprise career twist. And thanks to his private Instagram messages being leaked to the world, it looks like Scott Disick and his girlfriend Amelia Hamlin are over for good (much to the relief of her famous parents). Their break-up has been linked to a pretty attention-grabbing t-shirt, but it’s a move that’s been done before. So let's talk about the day Julia Roberts T-shirt started a tabloid war. Plus, everyone is talking about actor and comedian John Mulaney, and it’s got nothing to do with his new TV show. After months of speculation, John confirmed that he is dating actress Olivia Munn and, in a plot twist, the couple are also expecting their first child. It’s a lovely announcement, but everyone is focused on how they really met and it’s a wild story.
