Here’s what you need to know. And speculation ran rife over the weekend that The Veronicas, the duo comprised of twin sisters Lisa and Jessica Origliasso, had split or were feuding after they wiped their social media pages. But it turns out they’re both launching solo careers and we have some (extreme) emotions about it. Plus, over the weekend Abbie Chatfield confirmed that she and Konrad Bien-Stephen had ended their relationship while also weighing in on the media and social commentary that had taken place around their breakup.

On the show today… Rachel DeLoache Williams is suing Netflix for how she was portrayed in their hit series Inventing Anna, based on the life of notorious scammer Anna Delvey.

From online family drama and TikTok gossip, here’s everything you need to know.

The Olivia Wilde and Shia LaBeouf Video Is Missing A Crucial Detail

On the show today… Radio host and former Home and Away star Kate Ritchie has been charged with drink driving and she received a fine along with a three-month driving ban. She has now responded to the incident that made headlines over the weekend. The 2022 MTV Video Music Awards gifted us with a truly glamorous and outrageous red carpet, so let's pretend we’re a fashion podcast and talk about the best looks from the night and why Lizzo’s dress may have taken out half the audience. And after Olivia Wilde told Variety she fired him from her upcoming movie Don’t Worry Darling, Shia LaBeouf has released a series of emails and a video of her that he says debunks her story. Everyone has been quick to villainize Olivia Wilde, but there any many sides to this story that the headlines are forgetting.

We’ve Spotted A Lie In Olivia Wilde’s Story

On the show today… Blessed be today because the full trailer for The Handmaid’s Tale season five has dropped and it’s packed with intense clues as to where this story is going next. And two years after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry signed their buzzy new deal with Spotify, the first episodes of Meghan's new podcast Archetypes is here, and predictably, there’s been some backlash to it. But there’s also a deeper reason why this particular project is low on the excitement scale. Plus, Olivia Wilde is Variety’s new cover star as part of the neverending promotional tour for her upcoming movie Don’t Worry Darling. The interview has once again ignited headlines that she is at war with the film’s lead actress Florence Pugh, thanks to one small line buried in the story, but there’s another ‘villain’ in this piece who is really flying under the radar.

Inside Nicole Kidman’s Calculated New Photoshoot

And Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee is once again talking about his unsolicited penis photo that was removed from Instagram, this time around issuing a challenge to fans that we really hope doesn’t take off. Plus, Nicole Kidman has appeared in headline-making new photospread for Perfect magazine, and predictably, there’s been a wave of outrage and photoshop claims directed at her.

And after officially marrying in a Las Vegas ceremony last month, and then enjoying an extensive Parisian honeymoon, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have just gone back for round two and hosted a three-day wedding event. While there are some truly romantic moments from the wedding festival, three big controversies have now emerged.

Brad Pitt’s ‘Golden Boy’ Era Has Come To A Crashing Halt

On the show today… In news that will thrill elder millennials, Netflix has released the first trailer for Heartbreak High, the highly anticipated reimagining of the 90s Australian YA series and you must take a look at it. And in an interesting turn of events, Joe Jonas has given an interview about his partnership with a cosmetic injectable brand, saying he’s attempting to break the taboo around men’s beauty routines. Yes, it’s all hooked on sponsored content, but his words have opened up an interesting conversation about men's faces. Plus, after many years of speculation, the subjects of an anonymous 2016 lawsuit where a woman said she was assaulted by her “then-husband” on a private plane have been revealed as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The FBI reports about the famous couple contain some very disturbing allegations of assault, so once again we have to discuss why the world refuses to have a negative conversation about Brad Pitt.

Unpacking The Public Failure Of Adele

On the show today… In news that will either find you screaming in your car with excitement or yelling “no one cares”, the John Wick prequel finally has a home and a release date, here’s everything you need to know. And it’s been reported that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck didn’t settle for a lowkey Las Vegas wedding (complete with dirty bathroom photos) after all. Instead, it looks like they’re planning a lavish three-day wedding this weekend and so it’s time to say goodbye to ‘anti-weddings’ and embrace the gravy train that is opulent public love stories. Plus, Adele has given her first interview about ‘the worst moment of her career’ and talked to Elle magazine about the last-minute cancellation of her Las Vegas shows earlier this year. Her words are a lesson on the importance of sitting in public failure, but also a reminder of the real reason people were primed to turn against Adele.

The Sex Scene Conversation We Shouldn't Be Having

On the show today… Congratulations are in order for Taika Waititi and Rita Ora, who have reportedly married in an intimate ceremony in London. Plus, fans are campaigning for Schapelle Corby to be the next Bachelorette. We discuss why that wouldn't be surprising, and why we'd be on board with that twist. And there is a lot of chatter about intimacy coordinators on film and TV sets this week, after actor Sean Bean said they "spoiled the spontaneity" in sex scenes. We consider the tone deafness of this comment, why sex scenes should be treated the same as fight scenes and how big of a difference this new job title has made in a post #MeToo world.

On the show today… Canadian pop star Shawn Mendes has today canceled his entire Wonder tour, which was set to take place across North America and Europe throughout 2022 and 2023, to focus on his well-being.

Tomorrow is the release date for Renaissance, Beyonce’s first album in six years and the anticipation for this release has been at an all-time high. But the album’s roll-out has not gone to plan. And the world is convinced that Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh are at each other’s throats and are currently locked in a brutal feud after working together on the movie Don’t Worry Darling. The allegations have to do with Harry Styles, an on-set altercation, and some questionable current social media posts, but there’s much more going on here than just two famous women who allegedly don’t get along.

The series is inspired by the real-life Australian cult The Family and its founder Anne Hamilton-Byrne, who is one of the rare female cult leaders in history. Here’s everything we know about the all-star Australian cast. And The Hills star Audrina Patridge has released a new memoir chronicling all the secrets behind the iconic reality TV show. The book includes some off-script stories about her castmates and it’s potentially changed the way we see the show. Plus, Beauty and the Geek Australia is currently airing and pulling in a large and devoted audience each night. But as the makeover episodes start to air this week, we’re being forced to confront a very problematic side of the show and what it represents.

Brad Pitt’s Skirt Has A Hidden Agenda

On the show today… Lizzo covers the new issue of Elle UK, which features a stunning photoshoot and insight into her new music.

Lindsay Lohan And The Wrong Kind Of Fairytale

On the show today… In news that will have grown adults reaching for their childhood CDs, it’s been confirmed The Wiggles will be featured on an upcoming cover of Rolling Stone and it’s a move that has actually made history. Plus, Victoria Beckham is Vogue Australia’s new cover star and in an extensive interview titled VB forever: Victoria Beckham is embracing her full self, she addresses David Beckham’s controversial interview about her diet and her relationship with the Spice Girls fame. So here’s a question, when did Victoria Beckham get so self-aware? And Lindsay Lohan has confirmed she’s now a married woman, just months after her fellow early noughties It Girls Paris Hilton and Britney Spears also shared their joyful wedding images. And while their collective happy news is cause for celebration, we’ve noticed a troubling trend fuelling the media coverage and commentary about their ‘happy endings’.

Why Winona Ryder Was Banished From Hollywood

On the show today… After more than a decade away from our screens, Australian Idol is making a comeback and applications are now open for anyone who is keen to be the next Guy Sebastian or Jessica Mauboy. But the age range for audition applications has us raising our eyebrows. Plus, Kourtney Kardashian and her husband Travis Barker have both released statements about his recent hospitalisation and health issues that have been making headlines since last week. In her statement, Kourtney also called out the paparazzi who sold false images of her during the ordeal. And our favorite 90s actress turned Netflix star Winona Ryder is Harpers Bazaar’s new cover star with an interview entitled Winona Ryder Is Still Processing. In the cover story, Winona talks about going from being one of Hollywood's most critically acclaimed and bankable stars to being told: "you’re not even part of the conversation". And yet this interview barely touches on what really happened to Winona Ryder and why she was effectively banished from the industry for many years.
