ARN Media has released a statement saying they have terminated his contract following an on-air argument with his co-host Jackie O. Now Kyle has released his own strongly worded statement, and we have to unpack what happened over the last few days that led to this moment.Plus, Laura is absolutely reeling over the cancelation of the Buffy reboot. After four years of development, the pilot has been axed, and the way Sarah Michelle Gellar found out has stopped us in our tracks. We debrief on the "toxic" executive who reportedly bragged about never seeing the original show and why this was a catastrophic business move.And, is Harper Beckham the next Kylie Jenner? At just 14, the youngest Beckham is reportedly launching "Haiku," a beauty line inspired by South Korean skincare.

The Oscars Scandal We Need To Discuss & The Win That Destroyed Us
On the show today... we are officially shells of human beings. The 2026 Oscars finally happened, and between the historic wins and the high-stakes snubs, we are going through it. We need to debrief why the "two-movie race" between Sinners and One Battle After Another left us with a major adrenaline headache.Plus, we are crumbling over Michael B. Jordan’s Best Actor win. It felt like our team won the Super Bowl, and we have thoughts on his emotional speech (and Timothée Chalamet’s very polite "loser" face). We’re breaking down the history-making cinematography win that stopped us in our tracks and why the Academy is finally, slowly, getting over its fear of horror movies.And, the weirdest moments that have us obsessed: Why was Sean Penn a total no-show? What was with the awkward Zendaya and Rob Pattinson presentation? And we need to discuss "Oscars Leo"—because Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't looked this good since the 90s and we have theories.Listen to The Spill New episodes drop every Monday–Friday!Mamamia: https://www.mamamia.com.au/podcasts/the-spill/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3mjNFVvJp1irXNVxKXXABOApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-spill/id1473523403Follow The Spill:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespillpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thespillpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thespillpodcast/Read all the latest entertainment news on Mamamia: https://mamamia.com.au/entertainment/Support Independent Women’s Media:https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribe/Your subscription helps us continue to tell the stories that matter to women.Want to join the conversation?Have feedback or a topic you want us to discuss?

The 5 Oscar Nominated Movies Actually Worth Your Time
The Oscars race is more chaotic than ever this year… which means there are a lot of movies people are telling you to watch. But which ones are actually worth the time (and the price of a cinema ticket)? Laura and Em are giving their brutally honest reviews of some of the biggest films in this year’s Best Picture race — separating the genuinely great from the ones that might only impress the film bros. There’s the blockbuster spectacle Em loved that Laura still can’t believe made it into the Oscars, a devastating drama that left an entire cinema quietly sobbing, and a bizarre twist-filled film the girls almost can’t discuss without ruining it. Plus, the wild sports movie everyone’s suddenly obsessed with, a comeback performance that could steal the night, and the one film both hosts agree we’ll probably still be talking about long after the Oscars are over.

First up, Ed Sheeran joined Benny Blanco on his podcast for a brutally honest conversation about being “normal looking guys” in an industry full of heart-throbs.Then… we need to talk about MAFS.

From explosive fights and shifting alliances to a very awkward intimacy revelation that dominated multiple episodes, we’re unpacking the moment everyone’s talking about — and why the fallout has completely split the group.Plus, we unpack the couple who finally left the experiment (and why viewers were relieved), the “I love you” moment that didn’t quite land and the shocking teaser that suggests next week could expose secret messages between the brides.THE END BITSLove binge-watching TV?
