The Royal Family Has A ‘Bad Girl’ And It’s Not Meghan Markle
On the show today… Dieter Brummer, who starred in Home and Away as Shane Parrish in the 1990s, has died aged 45. Today we take a look at the beloved actor’s legacy and share the beautiful words of a Home and Away actress who has penned a tribute to Dieter, revealing they were secretly in love. And Britney Spears has officially taken steps to remove her father from her conservatorship. This move comes after her emotional court testimony on June 23 where she spoke about her conservatorship for the first time, alleging she was the victim of abuse. Now a new name has been brought in to take over and it doesn't sound like her family will be happy about it. Plus, for years we’ve been watching a damning narrative play out in the tabloids around Meghan Markle, exposing her ‘mistakes’ and how she tried to ‘break the rules'. Now a new interview has surfaced that shows how this has played out before, but with a very different ending.

The Hidden Detail You Missed In That Jennifer Lopez Photo
On the show today… The ongoing custody battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took a sharp turn over the weekend when a California appeals court disqualified the private judge the former married couple was using. Thanks to a bit of shady behaviour from Brad Pitt’s legal team, it looks like Hollywood’s most infamous custody battle has to start all over again. And Princess Diana’s niece Lady Kitty Spencer was married over the weekend in a truly opulent celebration that featured the bride wearing no less than five couture gowns. However, the wedding itself has been overshadowed by details of the groom and the very telling absences of the royal family. Plus it’s the photo that stopped the world… and that’s not even a joke. Jennifer Lopez went Instagram official over the weekend with former fiancee Ben Affleck, posting a holiday snap of the couple sharing a passionate kiss and confirming on her socials for the first time that they are officially back together. While it might seem romantic, the rollout of their new relationship tells a very different story.

But the new mum, who goes by pronouns she/they, also announced that they would no longer be doing press because of one glaring mistake made in an interview.

What The Headlines Won't Tell You About Jamie Lynn And Britney Spears
On the show today… The first episode of The Bachelor for 2021 has aired and we watched as pilot Jimmy Nicholson was introduced to a slew of ladies who all really went to town when it came to making a memorable entrance on the red carpet. This year in particular, there are a few contestants we really need to talk about. And in a new interview, Megan Fox has talked about the moment that drove her to give up alcohol for good, which has led to a wild Golden Globes video being resurfaced that captures a moment in time many have forgotten. Plus, Britney Spears has been dominating headlines of late as she fights to remove her conservatorship amid claims of abuse. At the same time, all eyes have turned to her younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears, who Britney supporters claim is financially benefiting from her sister’s trauma. As a battle of Instagram captions breaks out between the Spears sisters, and a petition asking for Jamie Lynn to be fired from her Netflix show grows, the allegations are taking on a more sinister edge. But there’s more to this famous family’s story that the headlines have not covered.

The One Shocking Change To This Season Of The Bachelor
On the show today… Jennifer Lopez was asked about her high profile relationship with former fiance Ben Affleck during a live TV interview and it’s safe to say she was not impressed with the question. But once you know her history with the interviewer, it’s clear why the question had to be asked. Plus, the new season of The Bachelor kicks off tonight and it looks like Network Ten have made one big change to how the contestants are allowed to behave this season. It’s a change that has sparked an interesting debate about how it will affect viewer's relationship with the show. And we’re joined by the new Bachelor himself, Jimmy Nicholson! Jimmy is here to tell us why he agreed to do the show, how his love story really played out, and how he discovered some drama that was going on behind the scenes.

The One Story Anne Hathaway Doesn’t Want Us To Tell
On the show today… It looks like Prince Harry is adding another role to his LinkedIn profile, with the official announcement that he is writing a memoir focusing on his childhood in the public eye, his military duty in Afghanistan, and becoming a husband and father. But before you get excited about uncovering some royal secrets, we need to talk about why this book is actually being written. And this week Kanye West held a secret listening party for his new album, called Donda, in honour of his late mother. His aim was to give his inner circle a taste of his new music but according to multiple sources, one song and one memory, in particular, left him on his knees and in tears. Plus, it’s safe to say that 2008 was one of the worst years of Anne Hathaway’s life. Yes, she was nominated for her first Oscar, but at the same time her longtime boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, was jailed for four years after pleading guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy. Now he has given a tell-all account about their break-up, but after sifting through some old Anne Hathaway interviews, we’ve discovered that this story does not add up.

The Family Secret That Triggered Britney Spears' Furious Statement
On the show today… The glitzy Cannes Film Festival has come to an end, with the closing awards night ceremony drawing international headlines, thanks to one surprising moment that has been likened to the infamous Oscars La La Land / Moonlight mix-up. And Britney Spears has posted a series of passionate statements to her Instagram account, calling out people in her closest circles who have only now come to her defence as she fights to have her 13-year conservatorship removed. A few family members, in particular, were singled out in her statements, and it can all be traced back to one particular moment. Plus if you went online at all this weekend you would have seen the name ‘Katie Hopkins’ splashed across every one of your social media channels. The controversial UK broadcaster and writer was allowed to enter Australia so she could appear on the upcoming season of Big Brother VIP. Her visa has now been revoked, but the initial reason why she was allowed into the country is a much more complicated story.

The One Detail Meghan Markle's Haters Never Mention
On the show today… Meghan Markle has announced that she is producing a “first-ever” new children's series as part of her multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix and, similar to the launch of her book, has been met with criticism. However, when it comes to the business of being Meghan Markle, there is one key detail critics never mention. And for more than 20 years, one of Hollywood’s most infamous stories involved Lucy Liu physically attacking Bill Murray on the set of Charlie’s Angels. It was a story that ruined her reputation for decades. Now the real story about what went on that day has finally come out. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time!

The Most Frightening Part Of Britney Spears' New Testimony Has Been Overlooked
On the show today… Britney Spears has once again appeared in court to denounce her 13-year conservatorship, calling the way her personal and financial affairs have been handled over the years an act of "cruelty." The judge ruled that Britney Spears can now hire her own lawyer, but the overlooked details in her testimony are truly frightening. And Chrissy Teigen has posted an emotional statement to her Instagram account, saying she “desperately wants to communicate” with her fans instead of “pretending everything is okay” following her public apology for bullying Courtney Stodden. The rest of her words completely go against the script most celebrities follow. Plus, we’re joined by the stars of the new series of Gossip Girl on Binge. Jordan Alexander, Whitney Peak, and Eli Brown join us to chat about the biggest differences between the old Gossip Girl series and the new, how the cast is already becoming targets of the paparazzi, and how the show’s diversity will change TV for the better.

What No One Dares Say About Kim Kardashian And Kate Moss
On the show today… The 2021 Primetime Emmy Award nominations were announced today and there are a lot of negative headlines centering on some new Emily in Paris drama. But if you look closely at the nominations list, there’s a very different story there that deserves our attention. And Jason Sudeikis has given his first interview about splitting with his longtime fiance, and the mother of his two children, Olivia Wilde. His words paint a pretty interesting picture of what’s been going on behind the scenes.Plus, Kim Kardashian has announced Kate Moss as the new face of her billion-dollar shapewear and loungewear line Skims. In some ways, the 47-year-old supermodel is a good choice, but there’s another side to this new business relationship that no one will dare to speak about.

The Prince William Comment We Cannot Ignore
On the show today… Netflix have announced that a Paris Hilton cooking show is in the works, inspired by a viral video of the heiress whipping up her ‘infamous’ lasagne and lamenting about the fact that she struggles to grate cheese. But before you roll your eyes at this new series, we need to talk about why this show is very much needed. And this week makes 20 years since the premiere of Legally Blonde. To celebrate, The New York Times has run a long-form interview with the cast and creators of the iconic movie, titled 'Legally Blonde' Oral History: From Raunchy Script to Feminist Classic and there’s one factor here that will change the way you see this movie forever. Plus, this week Prince William released a statement condemning the “racist abuse” some Black football players have been facing after England lost to Italy in the 2020 Euro Championship game. His comments have sparked a fierce debate, but there is one side of this story we cannot look away from.

The Business Decision That Could Cost Kim Kardashian Her Empire
On the show today… During a recent episode of Welcome To The OC, Bitches! podcast, Rachel Bilson shared how a particular scene from season one led to some tension between her and co-star Samaire Armstrong, all linked to her real-life relationship with Adam Brody. Yes, this drama is 20 years old, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to analyse it. And Kim Kardashian has announced that she is shutting down her KKW Beauty site so that it can come back “under a completely new brand with new formulas that are more modern and innovative”. However, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes that, after a little investigation, proves that there’s much more to this decision than meets the eye. Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time!

The One Decision Megan Fox Is Still Being Punished For
On the show today… The Cannes Film Festival kicked off this week and the one celebrity name dominating headlines is Adam Driver. His new movie with Marion Cotillard, Annette, had the coveted honour of opening the festival but there's one scene, in particular, involving singing and oral sex, that has people talking and look, we’re just not sure they hand out Oscars for that… Megan Fox has given a new interview where she talks about being effectively blacklisted from Hollywood, why she’s no longer in hiding, and the one decision she is still being constantly punished for. And, by popular demand, there is one reality TV scandal currently dominating the headlines and a new documentary has captured the story, which reads like a true-crime bestseller. For the past few years, Erica Girardi splashed her wealth all over The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, then she announced her divorce from her husband of 22 years, famous LA attorney Tom Girardi.

The Letter Gigi Hadid Should Never Have Had To Write
On the show today… Britney Spears’ longtime manager Larry Rudolph has today resigned after working on Britney’s team for 25 years. In his resignation letter, he very pointedly stated that he had ‘never been a part of the conservatorship’ which has led to a whole new set of questions. And last month, the second highest-ranked women’s tennis player in the world, Naomi Osaka, made headlines following her announcement that she would not participate in post-match interviews at the French Open due to her mental health. Today the trailer for her new three-part Netflix docu-series was released and it promises to tell a whole new side to this story. Plus, Gigi Hadid has released an emotional open letter to “paparazzi, press and fan accounts” concerning their treatment of her baby daughter Khai.

The Real Reason Fans Are Turning Against Florence Pugh
On the show today… Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are officially married and the details about their glamorous wedding are pretty juicy. But even more interesting than the romantic pictures is the story of how they met and fell in love in the public eye. And Dannii Minogue has given a new interview about her turbulent move to the UK in 1990 and the story of how she launched her pop career. In doing so, she also revealed the hardest question she and her sister Kylie Minogue have been asked about their relationship. Plus, Florence Pugh has been dating fellow actor Zach Braff since 2018, but their relationship is still the source of negative headlines, thanks to their 21-year age difference. In a new interview, Florence explains why she thinks people are so against her relationship choice. She makes a valid point about the expectations placed on celebrities, but there's more to this particular backlash than just an age gap.

The Photo That Kicked Off Madonna's New Controversy
On the show today… In 2018, actor Bill Cosby was convicted on three counts of aggravated indecent assault and sentenced to three to 10 years in prison. Today he walked free on a technicality. And Fast and Furious 9 is the most-watched movie in the world right now, with the biggest opener of the pandemic era. At the same time, there’s been a feud bubbling away between the franchise's biggest stars for years, and one particular reason why no one is really talking about it. Plus, rapper Lil Nas X performed his hit song Montero (Call Me By Your Name) at the BET Awards this week and ended the performance by sharing a kiss with one of his male backup dancers. The performance went viral with many calling it historic for same-gendered representation and at an awards ceremony that celebrates Black excellence. Then Madonna posted a comparison image, linking the performance to her career and it kicked off an important, and controversial, discussion.
