What happens inside a Hollywood smear machine? This week Blake Lively filed a legal complaint which revealed private messages detailing an alleged campaign to tarnish her, after she accused director and co-star Justin Baldoni of misconduct on the set of “It Ends With Us.”
Where does this leave both parties and what does it tell us about the dark arts in Hollywood PR?
MrBeast aka Jimmy Donaldson released the much anticipated Beast Games on Amazon. Known for his big budget YouTube gameshows, Amazon gave him a reported $100 million to create a gameshow. Is it good? Does he manage to transfer from YouTube to streaming? What does it tell us about not just entertainment, but the world in which we find ourselves?
And lastly, some festive cheer. Richard and Marina look back on how linear TV bagged huge audiences as we all came together for Xmas viewing. Will Gavin and Stacey roll back the clock and deliver a multi-million audience?

Lisa Nandy, Tech Bros & The Sephora Crisis
As the government debates a new bill covering how AI has to abide by copyright laws, is it better for creative industries to keep their friends close but enemies closer?
Sephora, Drunk Elephant, Sol de Janeiro are at the front of what some have called an epidemic amongst 'tweens' (pre-teens). These beauty and skincare brands are often pushed by influencers but what does it tell us about modern advertising and commercialism.

Leave Ariana Grande Alone
Many of the reports around Wicked haven’t focused on the quality of the film, but once again on the appearance of one of its stars, Ariana Grande. Is the reporting on female appearance becoming more toxic than ever before?
Will a TikTok Grandma win the battle for Christmas number 1? Richard takes us through the historical runners and riders.
