The Spill

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.

On the show today… Just over a year after the conclusion of her defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp, and the wave of public abuse that followed, Amber Heard has stepped back into the spotlight. Plus, over the weekend Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker shared the gender of their unborn baby via a sweet Instagram video. But the behind the scenes footage of the moment tells a very different story. And after playing a song that she had refused to perform for more than 11 years, Taylor Swift made a surprise plea to fans this weekend ahead of the upcoming release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). And it had to do with online abuse and wild conspiracy theories. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening.

Here’s what their statements say.

And this week it’s all kicked off with the story of Stassi Schroeder. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! Today we have a new crime show with a twist and an apocalyptic new drama to recommend to you (along with a bonus movie review). THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

On the show today… Move over Barbie, because our next big movie obsession has arrived with the first trailer for Zendaya’s new film Challengers. Here’s what you need to know. And in a news cycle twist that we never saw coming, Cardi B is feuding with a man whose stepfather is on the missing submarine that has been making headlines this week. And her choice of Instagram filter is not the most bizarre part of this story. Plus, Kendall Jenner has given a new interview to the Wall Street Journal about her life and career, most notably saying that she doesn’t feel part of the Kardashian family or the fame machine that works around them. This has led us to discuss how this type of conversation has become the dominant force in Kendall’s brand, making her the worst celebrity talking point.
