The Spill

Martha Stewart has found herself at the centre of unexpected Meghan Markle drama after one seemingly innocent comment sparked a royal frenzy. We break down what was actually said and why everyone is talking about it.
Plus, the deeply upsetting Perez Hilton situation has reignited a conversation about celebrity culture, accountability and empathy. We unpack the debate over whether the man who helped define the internet's most brutal gossip era deserves the privacy he rarely afforded others.
And finally, we have Heated Rivalry news... Season two has announced its newest cast members, but one controversial casting decision has already divided fans.

After that unhinged Wicker trailer sent the whole internet into a spin, we're deep diving the fictional characters we were never supposed to find attractive… and yet.
We're talking a gruff saber-tooth tiger with a heart of gold, the Marvel villain whose fan fiction was so unhinged it earned him a spinoff, and the wettest of wet-blanket sitcom romantics who somehow ages into a green flag.
Plus the Twilight nobody we should've been rooting for the whole time, a brooding Finding Nemo fish the internet has turned into a full-blown daddy, and the Bear character with the most beautiful arc on TV. No notes. Just vibes we can't explain.

A beloved feel-good comedy no one expected to see again is back after three years, this time swapping the men's pitch for a women's team. Same warmth, same UK humour, same wholesome heart that made it a lockdown obsession, and stars you fell for returning.

Then, reality TV's most chaotic new fixation has one very charming (very red-flag) leading man, 20 women, a 30-day countdown to a proposal, and a Call Her Daddy mogul pulling the strings behind the scenes. Need I say more?

Plus if you refer something with a pulse of dread? There's a stylish, deeply creepy 80s-set teen thriller with a supermodel lead, a Hollywood serial killer, and all the sex, drugs and cigarettes the decade promised.

Miranda Kerr broke down her "day on a plate" on Kristen Cavallari's podcast, and it is unhinged... venison, bison, caviar (no parasites, apparently), but absolutely no eggs, kale or sourdough. We can't stop thinking about it.

Phoebe Bridgers' new album has a lyric that sounds suspiciously like a dig at Gracie Abrams, and once you add Paul Mescal and some very specific glow-in-the-dark bed sheets into the mix, this "feud" gets a lot messier. Feud or genius songwriting? We're deciding.

Also: have you noticed every movie this year has a completely useless boyfriend? From Devil Wears Prada 2 to Hugh Grant across three separate films, we're asking if Hollywood's newest trope is actually good for women.
