The Spill

Meghan Markle has given us an unusually intimate look behind the scenes of her new life, from making jam with Lilibet to beekeeping in Montecito and preparing As Ever's very expensive Christmas collection. We unpack everything hidden in the new video, before getting into the latest headlines surrounding Meghan and Harry's return to the UK — including the extraordinary level of scrutiny being placed on one seemingly innocent pub lunch. 

Then, Kim Kardashian has given her first major magazine profile since confirming her relationship with Lewis Hamilton, and there is a lot to unpack. From the reality-TV ambition she...

Taylor Swift has dropped a behind the scenes look at her Patient Zero music video, and we're deep diving into the snake t-shirt, the pointed number 13 and one painfully familiar moment that has everyone thinking about Joe Alwyn. Plus, why her friendship with Dakota Johnson runs deeper than you think.

We're also unpacking Bree's exclusive sit-down with Benson Boone, where he gets candid about the internet's version of him, the Harry Styles and Freddie Mercury comparisons, and a Kardashians answer that didn't go to plan.

But first, Off Campus fans have been manifesting this for...

This morning, Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis have split, and her statement about it is quite something. Plus, Taylor Swift's Patient Zero behind-the-scenes footage finally reveals what Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell were screaming about at that dinner table, and the answer is not what you'd expect.

In this replay of one of our favourite ever Friday roundups, Laura and Em dissect the films that promised a safe, simple story and delivered a reveal nobody asked for. There's the beloved rom-com twist that had entire cinemas gasping, the swoony drama with an ending so hated it still darkens people's faces, a kids' movie hiding something far more layered, and a festive love story with a twist so disturbing Laura's not sure if it's romantic or deeply unwell. Plus, Em sneaks in a pick that sparks a genre-rules showdown.

We lit the candles, poured the wine and went in with an open heart, but one of us came out wanting her time back. This is our brutally honest (and genuinely divided) verdict on the rom com everyone's talking about. We dig into the chemistry problem between two actors who sparkle with everyone else, and the shakiest fake dating excuse we've ever heard, where a dog, a house or one single friend would have solved everything.

We break down where the slow burn went, from a sunscreen scene that should have sizzled to a red dress moment...

Today we've got the Tom Cruise movie everyone either loves or hates. With John Goodman, Riz Ahmed and Aussie Sophie Wilde alongside him, it's a billionaire disaster story with a 'twist' that flips the whole film on its head.

Then on Netflix, a sweeping, slow-burn adaptation of a classic novel starring Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott and Mike Faist. Expect family secrets, brothers at war and one very complicated woman, plus we hear from Florence and showrunner Zoe Kazan herself.

Plus, a beloved horror anthology is back for its 13th season, with Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson...

Pete Davidson has opened up about his famous exes, from his fears for Ariana Grande to the surprising role he believes he played in Kim Kardashian's love life. But it's his unhinged rant about influencers that has the internet spiralling, and we have thoughts.

Plus, Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson join us to unpack Verity, the long-awaited Colleen Hoover adaptation. From the one scene that had them nervous to the bizarre rehearsal Anne still can't believe she did for work, this one gets weird.

And the leading ladies of Sense and Sensibility, Daisy Edgar-Jones and...

This morning, Sylvester Stallone has some very mixed feelings about a biopic of his life (mostly because he's still alive) Rita Ora is being sued by the manager who helped launch her career. Plus, Katy Perry's seven-year legal battle with an Aussie designer who shares her name is heading towards its final chapter.

Did Gisele Bündchen really end her marriage to Tom Brady because of their star signs? A new book about the former couple claims astrology played an unexpected role in their split, and Laura and Tina unpack the biggest revelations. 

Then, Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner have taken their romance to Paris Fashion Week, but one viral paparazzi video has divided the internet. Is it an impossibly romantic boyfriend moment, or are we all writing fan fiction about 20 seconds of footage? 

Plus, Lindsay Lohan is officially returning to rom-coms alongside Henry Golding, and the team beh...

Taylor Swift dropped four surprise songs on Friday and the internet hasn't stopped spiralling since. We're decoding the shared-ex theory that has everyone pointing at Joe Jonas, the unexpected apology to Tom Hiddleston nine years later, and the one lyric she refuses to actually say out loud.

But not everyone is singing along. With reviews turning brutal and a wild new conspiracy about who really wrote her best albums, we're asking whether anything Taylor releases can ever live up to the legend now.

Plus, Sabrina Carpenter has landed one of the most coveted roles in...

The Family Stone is officially getting a sequel, with the beloved Christmas family returning to our screens later this year. So naturally, it got us thinking about the movies that perfectly capture what happens when you put one complicated family under the same roof.

For this week’s Friday Round-Up, Laura and Em are sharing their favourite movies about messy, chaotic and deeply complicated families. There’s a Disney classic so good we had to include its sequel, the little indie movie that became an Oscar-winning sleeper hit, and a Nancy Meyers favourite that Em had somehow neve...

First up, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson play versions of themselves in a new Apple TV series inspired by the wild real-life theory that they're actually brothers.

Hilary Duff is leaning all the way into the Lizzie McGuire era, but not every star wants to relive their biggest hit. As Tones and I's NRL Grand Final plans collapse over one very famous song, we're asking whether artists owe fans the bangers.

Greta Gerwig's Narnia first look has landed, and one casting choice has fans spiralling.

The internet has finally handed us something good: Channing Tatum stands accused of running a fake burner account, allegedly caught leaving snarky comments about his exes, glowing reviews of himself and suspiciously sweet notes about his new girlfriend. We're unpacking how one lonely follower blew the whole thing wide open.

Then we're deep in royal chaos. Earl Spencer's new book has dropped a bombshell about how King Charles allegedly reacted to Princess Diana's death, and it's so at odds with the grieving-father image we've been sold for decades that even Buckingham Palace broke its own rules to...

Twenty-eight years later, the Owens women are back and we're emotional wrecks about it. As fans, we came ready to feel everything, and Practical Magic 2 delivered.

We get into the two deaths that destroyed us (one goodbye literally turns to glitter), the critics-versus-fans split repeating itself all over again, and the curse logic that we need to unpack.

It's messier, lighter and more sentimental than the original, and we still cried buckets. Whether you think it earns its place or dilutes a perfect film, you'll want to argue about it. Practical Magic 2 is in cinemas...

The fourth instalment of Netflix's blood-soaked true crime anthology just dropped, and it's the first to put a woman at its centre. Warren Beatty and Annette Bening's daughter takes the lead, with Charlie Hunnam, Rebecca Hall, Billie Lourd and Sarah Paulson rounding out a very starry ensemble. We give an honest take on whether this gruesome, glamorised retelling lands.

On the big screen, a video-game horror reboot - but you absolutely don't need to know the game to enjoy it. Starring the breakout from 'Weapons', it's genuinely terrifying (all practical effects) but so funny you'll be cackling...

We survived Emmys week, but while we were busy talking red carpets and acceptance speeches, the celebrity news cycle went into overdrive.

Taylor Swift didn't turn up to the Emmys, but she still managed to hijack the whole night. Her pre-filmed sketch with host Mariska Hargitay was stuffed with Easter eggs, cryptic phrases and one repeated clue about something "hiding in plain sight," and Swifties have been decoding it overnight. We're unpacking what it all means for a certain long-awaited re-release.

Then there's the one real scandal of the ceremony. Matthew Rhys made history with two acting wins in a single night, but it's what he didn't do that set the internet alight. No kiss, no thank you, no...

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days is officially getting the TV sequel treatment, and we're spiralling over what that means for the most iconic yellow dress moment, reimagined.

But it got us thinking about the one thing every great rom com has in common: an enormous, plot-driving lie. From fake fiancés to stolen identities to a man who helps reset his girlfriend's memory every single day, we're deep diving the beautiful deceptions that make these movies work, and would absolutely land you in a true crime doco in real life.

We're unpacking all o...

First up there's the new Netflix adult animation that comes at you fast, filthy and clever. Created by a Hacks and Good Place writer (who voices a character too) and starring Stephanie Hsu of Everything Everywhere All At Once and Joy Ride, it's a dark, raunchy comedy about three gloriously messy siblings. Give it a couple of episodes and you'll be hooked.

Gwyneth Paltrow sat down on Benny Blanco's podcast and once again delved into the story behind Goop's infamous vagina candle, the one that ended up going for four figures on the black market. But the bit that had us spiralling wasn't the candle. It was watching celebrity podcasters do zero research on their own famous friends.

Then there's the Bieber interview everyone slept on. W Magazine launched its new Gen Z vertical with a Hailey and Justin questionnaire, and one of Justin's answers is such a red flag we cannot believe the internet let it slide. We're...
