The Spill

On the show today… Channel 10 has announced that The Bachelors is returning for another year, and will once again feature three different men looking for love (and media careers). Yes, we have some thoughts about this. And The Kardashians have long been hedging the publicity of their third season on a brewing fight between Kim and Kourtney, and this week it finally came to a head…in the most privileged fight we’ve ever seen unfold on TV. Even one of the world’s most revered performers was pulled into the brawl. Plus, thanks to a newly released album, a new music video, and a very public display of emotion with a famous ex, Taylor Swift was making headlines again this weekend. But was it all just a distraction from a story she no longer wants to be attached to? That’s what we need to unpack. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

On the show today… The highly anticipated new trailer for season four of Netflix’s hit show Sex Education is here, but it comes with a side of bad news. Here’s what you need to know. And Cynthia Nixon has given a new interview touching on how the news of Kim Cattrall’s And Just Like That cameo was leaked. And judging by comments from Sarah Jessica Parker, it sounds like the story should have been kept under wraps. Plus, a new article claims that messy celebrity divorces have made a return, but we’re here to say that they never actually went away, especially if you look at the news cycle this week. Some of the messiest separations may have just happened under the radar, and we know exactly how they’ve been kept hidden. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

On the show today… Just a few days after Blake Lively was racked across the coals for launching an alcohol brand when she doesn’t drink, Jennifer Lopez has come out swinging in defence of her alcohol brand, Delola, as another public non-drinker. But there’s a bit more to unpack here. Plus, Jason Derulo has been questioned about the viral Met Gala meme that has been plaguing his existence for years and, frankly, he’s had enough. Oh, you’re not across this bizarre corner of the internet? Allow us to explain. And at the moment Tom Cruise might just be the world’s most beloved movie star, thanks to his new ‘every man’ persona and the fact that he’s been credited with saving the film industry as we know it. But this week, there’s one troubling Tom Cruise story that everyone is choosing to ignore. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

On the show today... It has been reported that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have separated after 27 years of marriage. But of course, there is drama involved. And one of the most talked about TV shows of the year, The Idol, came to an end this week and there are conspiracy theories that the last episode was suddenly pulled. But that’s not exactly what happened. Plus, in the last week, Selena Gomez very sensationally unfollowed a series of high-profile celebrities, but the backstory to these relationships has been missing from the headlines. So, allow us to unpack the Selena Gomez/Zayn Malik/Gigi and Bella Hadid/Taylor Swift/The Weekend/Dua Lipa drama. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

On the show today... The Sun has been made to publish findings around a column Jeremy Clarkson wrote about Meghan Markle, where he dreamed of seeing her stripped and marched through the streets. Here’s what you need to know. And it seems that Blake Lively just can’t catch a break right now (except for that whole being a beautiful rich movie star thing…) with her latest business venture immediately being met with waves of intense criticism. But there are just a few things the outrage headlines are missing. Plus, Barbie movie mania hit Australia hard in the last week with the movie’s director and cast on our shores to promote what’s shaping up to be this year’s most anticipated movie. But when it comes to Margot Robbie’s role in the promotion, and how the movie’s message has been flipped, we need to talk about what’s really powering this machine. And since we were on the frontlines of the Barbie Australian press tour, we can tell you exactly what we saw. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

On the show today… Supermodel Naomi Campbell announced that she has welcomed her second child at 53 years old. Here’s how she shared the news. And the Oscars are about to look very different going forward, because Austin Butler, Ke Huy Quan, Keke Palmer, Paul Mescal, and Taylor Swift are among the 398 artists and executives invited to join the membership of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Let’s unpack what that actually means. Plus, Bebe Rexa and Pink are just the latest names in a group of pop stars who have been assaulted on stage in the last week (or had a dead woman’s ashes hurled at the) some people are blaming the end of lockdowns for this new behaviour, but the explanation goes much deeper than that. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! This week we have a returning fantasy series to recommend to you along with a glossy Netflix series that we… have some notes on.

On the show today… It has been confirmed that Madonna is recovering from a serious bacterial infection that saw her committed to an intensive care unit for several days, and her upcoming world tour has been put on hold. Plus, the premiere date for the Stan Original Series RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under season three has been confirmed, along with the full cast list of new queens. And this announcement comes off the back of some groundbreaking news for the Australian arm of the global franchise. And ticket sales Taylor Swift’s upcoming Australian tour dates caused uproar across the country this week, with the record-breaking sale (and lack of tickets) breaking the hearts of fans that missed out. But in the background, a bigger controversy is lurking and it involves two other pop stars and some questionable song lyrics. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

On the show today… Warner Bros and DC Studios have announced their new Clark Kent and Lois Lane. So, where does this leave former Superman Henry Cavill? We give you the scoop on James Gunn's new Superman: Legacy and its intriguing cast choices. And Lewis Capaldi has decided to cancel his upcoming tour, which included dates in Australia, Europe, East Asia and the Middle East.

On the show today… The BET Awards, celebrating Black entertainers in music, TV film, and sport, were held this week and we need to talk through the winners list and best performances. Including the moment Beyonce made history. And this week Kim Kardashian sent out a seemingly innocent tweet saying she had some downtime while working on the set of American Horror Story. Which would have been fine, had she not crossed a picket line to get there. Now her words have ignited a bigger conversation about what comes next for Hollywood. Plus, when Blake Lively was cast in the lead role for the upcoming movie It Ends with Us, based on the best-selling novel by Colleen Hoover, it should have been a highlight of her career. But now the backlash around her and the film has kicked off, and we can trace it all back to a series of photos. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.
