The Spill

In honour of Britney Spears’ Book Week (we’re working on making it a public holiday) we’re looking at her time on screen, namely her 2002 film Crossroads. We can safely file this film under ‘pop star cinema flops’ and as it turns out, there’s actually quite a few. They’re all up for discussion today. In addition to our music/film flop hybrid investigation we’ve got some brand new t.v shows to recommend you too. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

It’s finally here! Happy Britney Spears book release week to all those who celebrate. We’re not going to recap the entire 288 pages (or 5 hours and 31 minutes of audiobook), but we need to touch on some of the biggest revelations from the book, including Britney’s rarely mentioned childhood and just how intensely connected she was to Justin Timberlake. And what about all the stories that didn’t make the pages? We’ve got thoughts, feelings and opinions on why that might be the case. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

Crazed paparazzi comes with the territory of being a celebrity… but does that make it ok? Aussie radio and TV icons Jackie O and Hamish Blake have weighed in on the matter, sharing their own first hand experiences. Meantime stars in the U.S having been using the paps for their own agenda. So we need to discuss how comfortable (or outraged) we should be with them.

So, are we calling Taylor Swift a WAG now? That’s wives & girlfriends for the uninitiated - a term used to describe the partners of famous footballers that got a bad wrap in the early 2000s. So today we need to asses Taylor’s impact on football, her new boyfriend Travis Kelces’ tight end (it’s not what you think) and how she’s redefining the definition of WAG.

It’s been a big weekend in entertainment news, so today we need to play catch up! Firstly, we need to squash those rumours about Britney Spears down under. Unfortunately she won’t be stopping by the Opera House this week, BUT something exciting to do with her new book is going down. Plus, we demand to know what celebrities are wearing for Halloween - especially after the SAG-AFTRA union has banned them from donning their best Barbie & Ken costumes. And, it’s time to talk about Emily Blunt’s body shaming comments & why she might not be the problem when it comes to fat shaming. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

With everything going on in the world at the moment, we thought it would be a good idea to take a beat and catch up on our fave comfort watch tv shows.

And if that isn’t enough to add to your Netflix queue, we’ve also got some new Weekend Watch ideas for you too. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

It’s no secret Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have been pitted against each other for decades now.And with Brit’s new book out next week, it’s time to plug in your dial up internet as we cast our minds back to the early 2000s & walk you through their alleged feud.  Have they finally buried the hatchet?

Just when we thought Britney Spears’ memoir couldn’t be anymore hyped… she dropped a bombshell. In her latest interview, Brit’s revealed she had an abortion back in the early noughties, when former bf Justin Timberlake said he wasn’t ready to be a father. That’s just the one of the many bombshells in this piece, but we need to investigate if Britney is fully in control of the narrative. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

BREAKING NEWS: Millie Bobby Brown is a feminist … according to her psychic. Yep, you read that right. That’s one of the many things we’ve learned from MBB’s new Glamour Mag profile.

Just when we thought Jada Pinkett Smith couldn’t reveal any more bizarre stories about her life… she went rogue. Last week we found out she & Will Smith have been separated since 2016, and as promo continues for her upcoming memoir, Jada has dished out more stories about their lives. The latest deets (including living in different homes, Will being gay, and something about Tupac?) have sent the internet into a tizzy and it’s got us wondering is the best or worst PR campaign of all time?
