On the show today… Today your social media feeds were flooded with a flurry of headlines triumphantly declaring that Britney Spears' father, Jamie Spears, had agreed to step down as estate conservator following her allegations of abuse. Except, these headlines are not true and one vital piece of information has been missed. Plus, it looks like one of the great celebrity scandals of our times has finally come to an end today, thanks to a pretty pointed and hilarious new video posted by Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis direct from their very own bathroom. And it’s Weekend Watch time! There are two new TV shows you need to add to your must watch list immediately and they both feature some pretty incredible people.

On the show today… The highly anticipated reunion for Farmer Wants a Wife has aired, and there was only one topic that viewers were eagerly waiting to see addressed. However, they were left hanging until the very end and then the ‘scandal’ reveal only added more fuel to the fire. Plus, fans have noticed something peculiar about Kylie Jenner’s recent social media behaviour. There have been a string of inconsistencies throughout the photos she and her family have been posting, and when you actually break it down, it looks like she’s keeping a pretty big secret under wraps. And The Hills star Heidi Montag has given a revealing new interview about the iconic reality show and explained why her former best friend and co-star Lauren Conrad should have been much more successful than she actually is. It’s a controversial interview, but when you look back at the history of the show, it will change how we look at two of TV’s most famous women.

On the show today… Christina Applegate has announced on Twitter that she has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The actress said “it’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some asshole blocks it.” She also said she has been leaning on one of her former co-stars, who has the same condition, for support. And Chrissy Teigen is back in business it seems. The author and TV host announced this week that she has produced a documentary about the cultural significance of fries titled FRIES! The Movie. Her announcement has led to an interesting conversation about the realities of cancel culture. Plus, Beyonce has appeared on the cover of the September issue of Harper's Bazaar and it’s surprisingly the most in-depth interview she’s given in years. Not only does the interview undo the ‘mythology’ of Beyonce, but it also shows how her biggest scandals have remained hidden.

On the show today… There’s something peculiar going on with Australian TV ratings at the moment. One long-running reality TV show has suddenly skyrocketed in the ratings, while another reality staple seems to be crashing at an alarming rate. And Britney Spears, who is still battling to have her 13-year conservatorship removed, has announced that she is severely cutting back on the content she will be posting to her Instagram account and judging by what her family has also been posting, it’s for a pretty messy reason. Plus, Melissa McCarthy was asked a question about the birthday video she filmed with Meghan Markle while doing press for her new TV show. Melissa heaped glowing praise onto Meghan and her husband Prince Harry, but then she answered a question that has left people seeing the royal couple in a whole new light.

On the show today… You’ve probably heard of TED talks, but what about ‘TED Twerks’? Lizzo spoke about the origins of twerking in a recent TED Talk sneak peek and you need to hear the brilliant way she explains the significance of twerking in Black culture.   And, Seven Network confirmed its all-star cast for the Big Brother VIP series, and there are a few surprising names on this cast list. We need to talk about the just-released trailer for the show and how Thomas Markle Jr attacks his younger sister Meghan Markle. Plus, Jessie J came under fire this weekend for misrepresenting the origins of the 2014 hit song, Bang Bang. In an interview for Glamour magazine, Jessie J described how Nicky Minaj supposedly asked to join her and Ariana Grande on the song, but Nicki has a completely different version of events. It’s time to talk about what really happens behind the scenes of these celebrity collaborations.

On the show today… Actress Kate Bosworth has announced she is separating from her husband Michael Polish after nearly eight years of marriage, but it’s the announcement itself that has our eyebrows raised. Her Instagram post included a black-and-white photo of the couple kissing, accompanied by a break-up caption we believe would have infuriated Gwyneth Paltrow. And Jennifer Aniston is the cover star for Instyle’s September issue, and in a lengthy interview drops quite a few surprising bombshells about her life. While her strong stance on vaccination should be applauded, she also touches on a deep family pain she normally keeps hidden and alludes to a pretty strange at-home habit. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! There are two new TV shows premiering today that we are desperate to tell you about, a mysterious teen thriller and a critically acclaimed comedy the world can not stop raving about.

On the show today… You might want to mark today’s date in your calendars because Rihanna has officially been declared a billionaire. She’s been dubbed the world’s richest female musician and second only to Oprah Winfrey on the list of the world’s richest female entertainers. But it isn’t her music that secured this level of wealth. And, Netflix has released the first trailer for He's All That, the highly anticipated gender-flipped remake of the hit 90’s movie She's All That, and we need to talk about it. There are false news headlines, surprise cameos, and a little debate about whether or not the gender-flipped storyline can actually work. Plus, Meghan Markle has released a surprise video in celebration of her 40th birthday, calling in the comedy big guns in the form of Melissa McCarthy. The intention behind the video is to inspire charity and change, but there are also a number of carefully hidden details sprinkled throughout it. Predictably, the video has angered a number of people, so let's talk about what’s really going on here.

On the show today… Natalie Portman was due to start filming a new movie in Australia this week, but she has suddenly stepped away from the role and now the entire film has mysteriously been shut down for good. An official production statement has raised even more red flags and now we need to investigate what’s really going on. Plus Darren Hayes has revealed that he turned down big bucks to re-record a hit Savage Garden song for a TV commercial. The musician said he’s doing it as part of a fight to ‘protect your high school memories’ and also released the proposed rewrite of the song. It’s something you need to hear in order to believe it’s true. And Aquaman star Jason Momoa has given a new interview to The New York Times Magazine and it’s making headlines thanks to a particular question he took offence to, concerning his breakout role on Game of Thrones. His response has firmly divided both the internet and this podcast.

On the show today… Reese Witherspoon has once again changed the filmmaking game with the announcement that her company Hello Sunshine, which is responsible for hits such as Big Little Lies, Gone Girl, and Wild, has been sold. But it’s the intricate details of this particular deal that have raised eyebrows. And this year’s season of Farmer Wants a Wife has been hit by a surprise ‘controversy’, but it’s not as wild and salacious as the tabloids would have you think. Contestant Hayley Love released a statement saying she is pregnant with Farmer Will’s child and now he has publicly replied, but there’s one line in his statement that has raised a red flag. Plus, Matt Damon has made headlines after giving an interview where he said he’s retired using the ‘f-slur' after his daughter explained how wrong it was. In response to a wave of backlash, the actor has now issued a statement claiming he never actually used the word in real life, but there’s one part of his story that just doesn’t add up.

On the show today… The full list of the celebrity housemates appearing on the upcoming show Big Brother VIP has been leaked and, if this list is to be believed, it’s shaping up to fall on the ‘uglier’ side of reality TV, something we really don’t need to see on our screens right now. Especially when you take into account the two international ‘celebrities’ who have been brought into the mix. And Kim Kardashian has been served a cease-and-desist order regarding her next business venture and it’s not something she’ll be able to ignore. It’s just the latest blow the reality star and businesswoman has dealt with in recent months regarding the many legal issues surrounding her empire, but this one has a very different backstory. Plus, the new series of Gossip Girl has already made more than a few enemies, with an actress recently calling out the series for making jokes about her and her superstar boyfriend, and she’s not the first celebrity to do so. But after her complaints made headlines, it’s pretty clear that this ‘scandal’ is all part of a clever plan.
