The One Detail Missing From Kylie Jenner’s Pregnancy Reveal
On the show today… The highly anticipated Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV series has hit a pretty big roadblock. Based on the infamous movie of the same name that starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the TV reboot was set to star Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Donald Glover in the title roles. Now Phoebe has walked away from the series and the reason for her exit is making headlines. And we need to talk about Guy Sebastian. The musician and The Voice judge made headlines this week after he apologised for #VaxTheNation material being shared to his Instagram account. Guy has offered up an explanation for his actions, but that’s not the conversation we need to be having. Plus, Kylie Jenner has announced, via a sweet Instagram video, that she and her boyfriend Travis Scott are expecting their second child together. Along with the happy news, there are now questions about what prompted her to share the update, and why one person, in particular, might be missing from her announcement video.

Ellen DeGeneres Just Reignited Her Feud With Dakota Johnson
On the show today… The Voice Australia has been a surprise ratings hit this year, which has prompted the network to make some major changes to how the show will run in 2022. Let's just say that if you’ve ever wanted to be a star, this might be your chance. And in pretty devastating news for fans of The Pussycat Dolls, it looks like we won’t be getting that big reunion tour anytime soon. The group’s founder is suing lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, alleging that she is trying to overthrow her and take control of the group. Nicole has now responded and her side of the story is pretty scathing. Plus, Ellen DeGeneres is gearing up for the final season of her talk show and some pretty big Hollywood stars have publicly thrown their support behind her by promising to appear as guests. Which makes it even odder that we’ve discovered a bizarre video on one of Ellen’s Instagram accounts, and it looks like a direct attempt to reignite her feud with Dakota Johnson.

The Dangerous Conversation We Can Finally Have About Brad Pitt
On the show today… In not so fun TV news, the TV Week Logie Awards have officially been canceled for the second year in a row, and now we have to have some difficult discussions about the future of Australian TVs ‘night of nights. And it’s the sexy red carpet video the world is talking about, Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac put on quite a performance at the Venice Film Festival premiere of their new series. The slow-motion clip is already going viral, but if you watch it from the other angle, it tells a very different story about what was really happening. Plus, Angelina Jolie has given a rare in-depth interview about her life and it contains some troubling details about her ongoing custody battle with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. An unspoken Hollywood power imbalance has kept Angelina quiet for years but now we cannot ignore the details about Brad Pitt that are starting to bubble to the surface. Which leads us to wonder, why is he the one celebrity the world refuses to turn against?

This Year The Bachelor Made A Disastrous Mistake
On the show today… In news no one expected 2021 to deliver, ABBA, one of the greatest musical groups of all time, is making a comeback. However, their announcement came with a surprise twist that fans were definitely not expecting. And this year’s season of The Bachelor has come to an end, which means one lucky lady got swept away in a made-for-TV romance while the other was brutally rejected on national television. It all seems pretty standard, but this year a dark cloud has been hanging over The Bachelor and it can all be traced back to one disastrous mistake. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! On today’s show we recommend two addictive TV shows you need to watch immediately. One is an under the radar classic while the other is a buzzy new series with an all-star cast.

The Ruling Meghan Markle Never Saw Coming
On the show today… In sad news for Real Housewives Of Atlanta fans and cast, series breakout star and original cast member Nene Leakes has confirmed the death of her husband, Gregg Leakes. And it’s been called “the biggest cheating scandal in The Block’s history” and there are some very scandalous headlines floating around about what’s going on behind the scenes of the reality show. Host Scott Cam said he is now “scrambling to save this series” but contestants at the centre of the drama have released a statement adding an extra twist to the already wild story. Plus, in a blow to Meghan Markle and the thousands of people who filed complaints against him, UK media personality Piers Morgan has been officially cleared of all wrongdoing in regards to volatile comments he made that resulted in him sensationally walking away from Good Morning Britain. But there appears to be a lot more happening behind the scenes for Meghan Markle and her family right now, but it’s a story the headlines appear to have missed.

The Khloe Kardashian Comment The World Can’t Forgive
On the show today… In entertainment news that’s dripping in nostalgia, Will Smith has announced who will play the lead character in the highly anticipated Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot. The story behind this reboot itself is pretty interesting, because it was inspired by the 2019 viral video which reimagined the iconic 90s sitcom as a gritty drama. And we need to talk about the Instagram story that’s currently blowing up group chats everywhere. It appears Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian’s ex-partner and the father of her three children, tried to rope another ex into shaming her for her new relationship, but there’s more to this story than just one leaked DM. Plus, Khloé Kardashian is facing an avalanche of criticism after a clip from a 2019 interview was dug up and shared on TikTok. The comments paint Khloe Kardashain in a pretty negative light but what we really need to talk about is how this one comment is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what’s really happening behind the scenes in the entertainment and influencer industry.

Addison Rae, Kourtney Kardashian And An Unfortunate Business Deal
On the show today… If you’re desperate to see your favourite celebrities and sports stars be tortured until they are emotionally, physically, and psychologically broken then you’re in luck because the official air date for the new season of SAS Australia has just been announced and the cast list is pretty intense. And Zoe Foster Blake announced that she has sold 50.1% of her wildly successful brand Go-To Skincare to BWX for a reported $89M but there’s a catch to the deal that will soothe any worried fans. Plus, He’s All That, the highly anticipated reimagining of the iconic 90s movie She’s All That has dropped on Netflix and there are a few important points we need to passionately debate. Like was Addison Rae really hung out to dry? Is that claim about bringing back the original scriptwriter all a lie? Did the horse make a formal complaint once filming wrapped? We need to talk about it all.

The Story Kim & Kanye Tried To Bury With Their Bridal Stunt
On the show today… One of the biggest headlines crowding your social media feeds of late would have been the fact that Beyonce has been publicly criticised for wearing a ‘blood diamond’ alongside her husband Jay-Z in a new ad campaign for Tiffany & Co. The story behind the infamous Tiffany necklace is one steeped in controversy, but before you make a snap judgment, you have to hear Beyonce’s side of the story. Plus, the first trailer for the highly anticipated new series Impeachment: American Crime Story has dropped and its brought one of the world’s most infamous political stories back into the spotlight. The series will chronicle former US President Bill Clinton's impeachment, with a focus on former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. It’s now come to light that a particularly controversial scene was almost cut from the series, but it was Monica who pushed for it to be kept in, at her own expense. And in the lead-up to the release of his new album Donda, Kanye West held yet another stadium listening party and this time he pulled out all the stops. The event included controversial appearances by Marilyn Manson and DaBaby, Kanye setting himself on fire and a moment where his soon-to-be ex-wife Kim Kardashian walked toward him in a wedding gown. Fans are speculating that the stunt means the couple is getting back together, but the real story is a lot more intense.

Kylie Jenner’s New Photo Tells A Very Sad Story
On the show today… You might not immediately know the name Spencer Elden, but he has certainly played a big part in pop culture. Spencer Elden’s photo, of him naked as a baby, was used on Nirvana’s hit breakthrough album Nevermind. The now 30-year-old has filed a lawsuit against Kurt Cobain’s estate and the band’s surviving members, saying the band violated federal child pornography statutes and sexually exploited him. And Alana Thompson burst onto screens nearly a decade ago as a child-beauty queen nicknamed Honey Boo Boo on Toddlers and Tiaras. She and her family all then found fame as reality TV stars, but now, in the lead-up to her sixteenth birthday, she has given an interview to Teen Vogue that paints a very different picture of what was really going on. Plus, Kylie Jenner has shared a series of new images to her Instagram account, showing her three-year-old daughter Stormi Webster living out her wildest dream. The cute photos are now being predictably slammed but the reality behind them is actually a little sad.
