Every Surprise & Celebrity Controversy From The Met Gala

On the show today… Yesterday it was reported that MasterChef Australia judge Jock Zonfrillo had sadly died in Melbourne aged 46. A statement from his family read: “For those who crossed his path, became his mate, or were lucky enough to be his family, keep this proud Scot in your hearts.” It’s Met Gala day and the sea of celebrities dressed in over-the-top gowns did not disappoint. First, we had a battle of the cat outfits, followed by nearly every attendee drowning under layers of pearls. From surprise pregnancy announcements to juicy relationship reveals, Pedro Pascal’s knees, and a celebrity love triangle on full display, let’s unpack the biggest moments from the 2023 Met Gala.

The Sofia Richie & Nicola Peltz Beckham “War” Is Here.

On the show today… I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! has come to an end with Liz Ellis being crowned Queen of the Jungle. And there’s a very welcome reason why Australia fell in love with her. Plus Kyle Sandilands and Tegan Kynaston’s opulent wedding took place over the weekend and whether you like it or not the pictures, celebrity guest list, and outrageous amounts of money spent on flowers dominated the headlines. So now we need to talk through the most eye-brow-raising moments. And Sofia Richie pulled off an unprecedented PR move when it came to documenting her wedding, resulting in her new It Girl status. Now the conversation has turned to Nicola Peltz Beckham (or more pointedly, comparing their two weddings) and it’s shining an uncomfortable light on how unforgiving the world can be when your brand just doesn’t land.

Kim Kardashian Was Caught In A Lie

On the show today… The Real Housewives of Sydney is officially returning to our screens after a very controversial first season. Allow us to take you through the celebrity names we have reason to believe are joining the show. And the first trailer for season three of The Kardashians was released today and it’s the most drama we’ve seen from this famous family in a long time. What’s even more interesting than the tears and fights, however, is that the Kardashians seem to be backtracking on their brand, which goes against a viral interview Kim gave this week. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! This week we have a big-budget thriller with an all-star cast to recommend to you, along with a TV series that will scar your socks off.

The Moment A Celebrity Friendship Ended

On the show today… The first trailer for And Just Like That season two premiered today and it’s given us a pretty good idea of just how drastically different these new storylines are going to be. Plus, we had a pretty extreme reaction to one particular cameo. And, look, we’ve seen the Kardashians and their significant others try and sell us some pretty wild items over the years, but nothing quite prepared us for Travis Barker’s new enema kit, and the commercial that went with it. Plus, Melanie Lynskey is very much the actress of the moment, but this week she’s gone viral for all the wrong reasons. The Yellowjackets and The Last Of Us actress opened up about the heartbreak of no longer being in contact with a very famous friend, and the reaction to her words says something about our obsession with female friendships and the pain of losing them.

The Hollywood Cheating Scandal The Internet Is Rooting For

On the show today… Cinemacon took place this weekend, gifting us some new information about this year’s most anticipated movies. So why was Ryan Gosling getting emotional and Timothée Chalamet pictured with a giant worm? Allow us to explain. And Melissa McCarthy is the cover star for People's 2023 Beautiful Issue, but the cover image reveal has been met with a wave of disappointment. Her interview is inspiring and the photo shoot is beautiful, but there’s one nagging issue that won’t go away. Plus, there is a new Hollywood scandal brewing and it started right here in Australia. Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney are starring in a new x-rated rom-com together and after some interesting Instagram activity fans now believe they are hooking up. So now we need to unpack the fine line rom-com stars need to walk in public because we’ve seen it all go wrong before.

The Real Story Behind Those Taylor Swift Revenge Photos

On the show today… According to a new report, Meghan Markle sent a secret letter to Prince Charles after her Oprah interview about racism in the royal family. Now Meghan Markle has responded to the allegations. Plus, we have an early contender for celebrity wedding of the year after Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge were married in France over the weekend. From celebrity guests to couture looks and a wild ex-boyfriend story, here's what you need to know. And it’s been a big weekend for Taylor Swift, or at least for the paparazzi who are following her. A series of photos of both Taylor and her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn have surfaced, telling two very different stories, but there’s a lot more going on here than just a basic revenge narrative.

The Weaponisation Of Lizzo Has Begun

On the show today… When it was first announced, the new reality series F Boy Island made headlines thanks to its eyebrow-raising premise. This week Binge announced the show’s three leading ladies, and gave more information about what the show would really be about, so here’s what you need to know. Plus, Jonathan Majors was set to be one of Hollywood’s biggest new names after starring in a string of critically acclaimed movies and TV shows. Then a series of alleged domestic assault allegations were made against him and his opportunities began to disappear. But as one of the biggest stars of the new Marvel Cinematic Universe, what happens next? And photos of Lizzo have been trending across social media this week, but not for a very good reason. The conversation around what a body “should” look like has resulted in the weaponization of photos of stars like Kim Kardashian and Lizzo, with everyone picking a side. So now we need to unpack what’s really driving this conversation.

This Megan Thee Stallion Story Should Chill You To The Bone

On the show today… The first teaser trailer and release date for the highly anticipated new series The Idol, starring Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Lily-Rose Depp have been released, but prior to this the series was already making headlines. And Rachel McAdams has given a new interview detailing the biggest movie roles she has ever turned down, why she once walked off a photoshoot, and her need to leave the industry for over two years at the height of her fame. But all anyone wants to talk about is her armpits. Plus, during one of the biggest years in her career, Megan Thee Stallion was shot by someone she considered a close friend and colleague. Instead of supporting her, some of music’s biggest names publicly mocked her and even write songs about her pain. This week she has written a brutally honest essay about exactly what happened to her and you need to be across this story.

So, The Celebrities Killed Coachella

On the show today… The first trailer for the upcoming Netflix documentary Anna Nicole Smith: You Don't Know Me has been released and it promises to tell a very different story about the life of the infamous model and actress. Plus, in news no one saw coming, Mischa Barton is set to guest star on the rebooted season of Neighbours and if you’re across her past career trauma then you’ll know this is a very big deal. And the first weekend of Coachella has come and gone and this year the celebrity-heavy event had a very different feel to it. The headlines about the event are painting a very bleak picture of its future, but who is actually to blame? Is it the performers, the influencers, or Vanessa Hudgens herself?

And the first weekend of Coachella has come and gone, meaning our favourite celebrities were all gathered in one location, but the biggest scandal came from a pair of names we were not expecting and now we need to unpack an unexpected celebrity kiss.

Why Emily Ratajkowski’s Acting Career Abruptly Ended

On the show today… Time Magazine has released its 100 Most Influential People list for 2023 and a number of celebrities have ended up in the coveted spots. Some of the names have us cheering, but others are a little more problematic. And Emily Ratajkowski has shared why she abruptly walked away from her acting career after starring in a string of well-received movies, and fired her entire team in the process. On one hand, her complaints about the film industry come from a place of unspoken privilege. At the same time, she’s been smart enough to put herself in an untouchable career position.

Everyone’s Waiting For Katie Holmes’ Revenge

On the show today… It’s finally been confirmed that Prince Harry will attend his father, King Charles III’s coronation, while Meghan will stay behind in California with their children. Here’s everything you need to know. Plus, it’s official, a Harry Potter TV series is coming. The adaptation will feature a brand new cast and has already been given a massive 10-year commitment, but the inclusion of J.K. Rowling as an executive producer has raised more than a few eyebrows. And Katie Holmes is the latest cover star of Glamour Magazine, talking about her new movie as well as past acting roles (even Dawson’s Creek!). But the reaction to this, and seemingly most things Katie does, is constantly tied back to her most notable ex-partner and the concept of ‘revenge’.

What No One Wants To Say About Millie Bobby Brown’s Engagement News

On the show today… The trailer for Jennifer Lopez’s upcoming Netflix film The Mother has been released and let's just say we’re a long way from Maid in Manhattan. And Ariana Grande has released a video addressing the many comments she has been receiving from “fans” about her body. The message behind her words is not new, but the behaviour of people around public figures is reaching a whole new level, and it needs to be dialled down. Plus, Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has announced that she is engaged to Jon Bon Jovi’s son (otherwise known as Jake Bon Jovi) and is 19 years old. Her age has caused a backlash against the news, and while no one wants to say it, once you look at her history and the trajectory of child stars, it all starts to make a lot more sense.

Taylor Swift’s Breakup Comes With A Conspiracy Theory

On the show today… In a surprising turn of events, Daisy Ridley has been confirmed to star in a new Star Wars movie and reprise her role as Rey. And behind the scenes of this movie, history will be made. Speaking of surprise casting announcements, the new season of American Horror Story has been announced and Kim Kardashian has been confirmed as a lead role, alongside Emma Roberts. While we’re trying to respect the creative vision behind a show that is known for excellent stunt casting, there’s one big problem here. And it’s been pretty much confirmed that Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have ended their six-year relationship.

The Celebrity Engagement Story That Has Completely Divided Us

On the show today… We doubted its existence, but the Kourtney Kardashian Barker and Travis Barker TV wedding special is officially coming to our screens this month. But is the fan backlash around the wedding content what's driving this new release? (0:58) And a new teaser for the upcoming Barbie movie was gifted to us this week, along with a series of posters detailing who all the characters really are, and some of them have a pretty fun/dark backstory that we need to unpack. (3:53) Plus, after weeks of speculation, Justin Long and Kate Bosworth have not only confirmed their engagement…they also dropped a two-hour podcast discussing in depth every detail of their love story. We listened to it (so you don't have to) and it's left the hosts of this podcast firmly divided. Is this a new trend in celebrity relationships, or are we so desensitized to romance that any couple who appears too wholesome immediately gives us the ick?

We’ve Just Seen One Final MAFS Betrayal

On the show today… Another Disney live-action movie is in the works and this time it’s the 2016 animated film Moana that's getting a remake. Plus, when Barbie Ferreira announced she was leaving the hit show Euphoria, her exit was surrounded by scandal. The most prevalent theory was that she had clashed with the series creator Sam Levinson and he had then punished her by ruining her character. Now she’s telling a different side of the story. And Married At First Sight has finally (finally) come to an end for 2023. So now we need to talk about the biggest moments from the reunion special, what will happen to the couples left standing, and how we were betrayed one last time by the series that calls itself “a social experiment”. Read Chelsea's last MAFS recap here.

Reese Witherspoon & The Hollywood Love Curse

On the show today… Abbott Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time over the weekend, and her comments about teachers deserve to go viral. And Pete Davidson became infamous for dating beautiful, famous women, but in a new podcast interview, he’s confessed that he felt like a 'f---ing loser’ the entire time. He made some interesting comments about how many people he’s actually dated and how the headlines were spun, but it’s the story of how it all affected his career that we need to talk about now. Plus, Reese Witherspoon has officially filed for divorce from her husband Jim Toth after recently announcing their separation on Instagram. It’s now been reported that their marriage ended due to her work commitments and it’s left us wondering if this is just a new spin on the classic ‘Hollywood Love Curse’ theory?

Jennifer Aniston Has Picked The Wrong Fight

On the show today… There are two important celebrity stories we need to unpack today. Grimes has renamed her child (yes, the one who was accidentally revealed during a Vanity Fair profile) and Gwyneth Paltrow has won her ski assault case, and we think we can pinpoint exactly what went wrong for the man who tried to sue her. And Jennifer Aniston has been criticised for some recent comments she made about comedy while on the promotional tour for her new movie with Adam Sandler. So is Jennifer the real villain here? Or is this just a case of her doubling down on a conversation she doesn’t need to take part in. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! This week we have a new movie with a nostalgic twist and a new Australian Netflix series to recommend to you.

Nobody Saw This Celebrity ‘Makeunder’ Trend Coming

On the show today… It appears that season three of The White Lotus will take place in Thailand, according to multiple sources close to the production who confirmed this to Variety. But another celebrity has told a very different story. And in news that will bring elder millennials to tears… Drew Barrymore has reunited with her Ever After co-stars on her talk show to celebrate the iconic movie’s 25-year anniversary.

On the show today… Royston Sagigi-Baira has won the 2023 season of Australian Idol, with Phoebe Stewart placing as runner-up. The sweet finale has been called a “trainwreck” but that’s not exactly what took place. Plus, photos and videos of Emily Ratajkowski and Harry Styles kissing in the rain dominated our news feeds over the weekend, so now we have some important issues to discuss. Like, why did their mouths not align? Why did they choose to stand under a spotlight in the rain? And who was the mysterious cyclist who attempted to sabotage them? And over the weekend Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber both released statements calling for the public hatred of Hailey to end after the model said she had been receiving death threats.

Here’s everything you need to know, including the celebrity names who will feature on the soundtrack.

The New Harry & Meghan Drama Is Linked To One Word

On the show today… Today there have been numerous reports floating around stating that Anna Wintour is banning the Kardashian family from the next Met Gala. While we’re pretty confident this is not true, the intricacies of why the Kardashians hold the power here is the real story. And Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have issued a statement defending their choice to call their daughter Princess Lilibet. This latest scandal is hooked on Lilibet’s christening, but it does point to some deeper drama happening within the Royal Family and some questions about Harry and Meghan’s future. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! Today we have a thrilling new Netflix movie to recommend to you along with a new big-screen slasher release that we’re pretty confident is one of the best cinema experiences of the past year.

What’s Really Driving The New Hailey Bieber Hatred

On the show today… Another day, another Oscars drama. The ceremony is taking place next week and just as voting was about to close, Best Actress nominee Michelle Yeoh posted an article to her Instagram page that landed her in a bit of hot water, and it involved fellow nominee Cate Blanchett. Plus, Cara Delevigne is Vogue’s newest cover star and in an accompanying interview, she speaks about the photos that led to her sobriety. The interview comes at the same time as other stars, including Lucy Hale, have also spoken about their addictions and it’s opened up a whole new conversation. And this week a Justin Bieber concert was interrupted by an angry crowd chanting about Hailey Bieber. In the last week, Hailey has lost more than one million Instagram followers due to allegations that she and Kylie Jenner were bullying Selena Gomez. But this new wave of hatred against Hailey is not just hooked on Selena.

Kim Kardashian, Gigi Hadid & An Unpopular Opinion About Women’s Faces

On the show today… All of the nominees for Best Original Song have been confirmed to perform at next week’s Oscars, with the exception of Lady Gaga and her beloved Top Gun: Maverick tune. And we think her controversial new movie role might be to blame. Plus, in a celebrity crossover event we never saw coming, Tyga and Avril Lavigne want us to know they’re very much…into each other, thanks to a series of headline-making paparazzi pash photos. This was news to Avril’s fiance Mod Sun, so if you’re also confused, allow us to explain what happened. And this morning three different headlines were trending, all hooked on the faces of Kim Basinger, Gigi Hadid, and Kim Kardashian. One Kim is being praised, while the other has been labeled ‘unrecongisable’ and it’s led to an important, but uncomfortable conversation around famous women’s faces and why it’s now acceptable to shame them, as long as you use the right words.

Well, they’re in talks to star in a new Nancy Meyers movie and we feel like rom-coms are officially making a comeback. Here’s what you need to know. And the new cast list for SAS Australia has been announced and along with some impressive and famous names, there are a few people in there who are sure to cause controversy. So now we have to talk about how this series is only showing one side of public redemption arcs. Plus Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are once again taking a beating in the public eye, Harry for a ticketed interview about his memoir and Meghan for a TV show she didn’t actually appear on.

On the show today… In great news for anyone who loves watching problematic rich people on their screens, the first full-length trailer for Succesion’s fourth and final season has just been released. Here’s everything you need to know. And when it was first announced, The Idol was set to be one of the biggest new TV shows of 2023.

Now, a new expose has unearthed what really happened behind the scenes, and it’s not a pretty sight. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! On today’s show, we’re recommending a history-making new Netflix comedy special and a highly anticipated book-to-series adaption that will transport you straight back to the 70s.

The New MAFS Scandal That Flew Under The Radar

Suki Waterhouse And A Viral Photo

On the show today… In case you’d forgotten, after its emotional farewell last year, Neighbours is making a return to our screens. Filming is just about to start and today another handful of cast members were confirmed to reprise their roles, including one that made history. Heartbreak High star Chloé Hayden made headlines over the weekend when she publicly spoke about Marvel Stadium staff making her feel unwelcome when she tried to access the venue's sensory room. Now we have an update on what happened next and it’s a story every person needs to hear. Plus, singer, actress, and model Suki Waterhouse is back in the headlines (and TikTok feeds) this week thanks to her upcoming role in the highly anticipated new TV show. But at the same time, a post she has since deleted about her ex Bradley Cooper has resurfaced, and it’s linked to some of the most notorious paparazzi images of all time, ones that show how our response to age gap relationships has drastically changed.

Hailey Bieber’s Looming PR Disaster

On the show today… The NAACP Image Awards, which honour outstanding achievements of people of color in motion pictures, television, music, and literature, took place over the weekend. From Angela Bassett’s iconic win and acceptance speech to Zemdaya’s headline-making red carpet look, here are all the best moments from the awards. And Paris Hilton has shared even more about her motherhood experience, explaining that her past trauma was the reason why she chose to use a surrogate and saying she has “20 boys eggs” from her IVF procedures. While it’s always helpful when another woman shares her life experiences, the conversation around Paris is highlighting the growing ‘motherhood gap’ and why these celebrations are not for everybody. Plus, Hailey Bieber is on the new cover of Vogue Australia, featured alongside an interview with Justin Bieber. The interview itself is not newsworthy, which leads us to wonder if something happened behind the scenes in the PR trenches. The magazine cover has been released at the same time as Hailey’s social accounts are being flooded with comments about the whole Selena Gomes/Kylie Jenner/Taylor Swift “fight” so let's unpack what really went on there.

THE WATCH: Your Place Or Mine

Welcome to this bonus episode of The Spill! This month we are shaking things up a bit and dissecting a new Netflix movie that has everyone talking, Your Place Or Mine starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. In this episode, we hotly debate the onscreen chemistry between Reese and Ashton (look, those red carpet photos didn’t help), breakdown the plot points that really let the movie down, and explain why the nepo baby child actor somewhat resembles a loaf of bread (to be fair, only one host said this). And since Your Place Or Mine was supposed to bring back the classic rom-com, we then have a passionate discussion about the very best movies from this genre (and why this is the only time toxic men are attractive) before discussing why good rom-coms don’t get made anymore and how to bring them back.

The Story Britney Spears’ Fans Don’t Want Us To Tell

On the show today… After going to such lengths to keep her new baby’s name a secret, Paris Hilton has shared her son’s name along with the story behind it. But why did she scoop her own news story ahead of her book launch? We explain on today’s show. And today we’re joined by a special guest, Watch What Happens Live host and the founding father of the Real Housewives franchise Andy Cohen. We chat to Andy about his most surprising celebrity interviews, the one celebrity he wants to join the Real Housewives franchise, and what to do when celebrity interviews go badly. Plus, Britney Spears has posted another headline-making video to her Instagram account, prompting fans and media alike to call her everything from “erratic and unhinged” to publicly worrying about her mental health and physical safety. But behind those headlines is a story that her fans just don't want to hear, and it’s hooked on a toxic reliance on our savior complex.
