The Woman MAFS Tried To Destroy & The Armie Hammer Interview We Can't Stop Thinking About

On the show today A$AP Rocky has been found not guilty of felony assault charges related to a shooting, and now we need to discuss an emotional video of him and Rihanna from within the courtroom.

Plus, Armie Hammer has appeared on Louis Theroux’s podcast and now we need to recap the weirdest and funniest moments, because at this stage of the game all we can do is laugh.

And another week of Married At First Sight is done and dusted, and one female contestant has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons, but there’s so much more to this story then what you’ll see on screen.

Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar Has Angered The Wrong People

Selena Gomez and her fiancée Benny Blanco have given a joint interview, along with some very interesting photos (if you love feet then this is your lucky day) but are they trying a little too hard to promote their love story?

Plus, Apple Cider Vinegar, the series based on Belle Gibson, has continued to  dominate the Netflix charts. But now it has angered the wrong people and they are speaking up about it.

So now it’s time to talk about the real life fallout of Apple Cider Vinegar, from the people portrayed in the show, to the journalists who fell for the lies and even Belle Gibson herself, here’s everything that’s happened since the show premiered.

Blake Lively’s Comeback Didn’t Go To Plan & The White Lotus Season 3 Review

On the show today, we're breaking down all the major moments from the BAFTAs, including some surprising wins for 'Conclave' and 'The Brutalist' that could shake up the Oscar race.

Plus, we're giving you our first impressions of White Lotus Season 3's premiere episode, which features an intense opening scene and introduces us to a fascinating new cast including Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, and the return of Natasha Rothwell as Belinda. The show has a new Thailand resort setting and has shifted towards a more wellness and spirituality-focused theme. 

And finally, we dive into the SNL 50th anniversary special, where Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds made their first public appearance since their legal battle with Justin Baldoni, causing quite a stir.

Jay-Z’s Uncomfortable Victory & Sarah Hyland Is A ‘Tyrant’

The Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special took place over the weekend and it was packed with celebrity cameos and musical performances that we need to discuss.

And a civil lawsuit accusing Jay-Z of raping a 13-year-old girl alongside Sean "Diddy" Combs been voluntarily dismissed, but this isn’t exactly the ‘victory’, Jay-Z is making it out to be.

Plus, a former co-star of Sarah Hyland has accused the beloved actress of being a ‘tyrant’ on set, outlining her bad behaviour and what people really think of her. But we’ve uncovered some information that might tell a different story.
