The Spill

Buckle up… we’re travelling back in time to one of the most important moments in Australian pop culture history. Back in the early 2000s you couldn’t escape the hype surrounding girl group Bardot, and now that core memory is being brought to our screens. With a new series based loosely on Bardot’s origin story out with weekend, we need to revisit the success (and many controversies) one of the cou...

That’s not the truth, Ellen. Can you believe it’s been FOUR years since Dakota Johnson’s takedown of Ellen DeGeneres on her own TV show. But now we’re wondering… was it  really  Dakota who opened the floodgates to the comedians cancellation or was it just really good timing? THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback?

Jenny from the block is heading to the big screen, again. It’s fair to say we have a love-hate relationship with Jennifer Lopez on this podcast, but the idea of new JLo music has us excited. She popped up in our inboxes this week with more info about her forthcoming album…  and new movie? We’ll get you up to speed with all the details, and we must run through the sneak peek trailer… we have notes....

Jennifer Lawrence might give us a run for our money as the biggest Kardashian fan out there.

We’ve got the highlights, taboo topics & FINALLY… an answer to who the hell is looking after Kylie’s four million dogs. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Read the full interview here...

We’re heading to the jungle on this episode of The Spill. Jamie Lynn Spears, yes the younger sister of Britney Spears, has been competing in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here UK. She’s been publicly labelled as one of Britney’s detractors, so is her appearance on the show part of a redemption journey to repair her reputation? And is it working?

Brad Pitt, and more specifically Brad Pitt’s relationship with his children, is in the news this week. And not for reasons we’d like to talk about. Turns out he might not be in line for father of the year anytime soon. So what have his kids been saying about him? And what does it mean for his future in Hollywood?

And the Oscar goes to… Kim Kardashian. Okay, not yet, but maybe one day? Following a role in the latest season of American Horror Story, it seems Kim’s got her sights set on the big screen. With a new comedy feature in the works, could our favourite reality star be the saviour of funny Hollywood flicks? Plus we’ll get you up to speed on those allegations again Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

The ghost of Princess Diana is haunting the latest season of Netflix’s The Crown. But is it about time to let the memory of the people’s princess lay to rest? We’ve got thoughts. Plus with part two of the final season around the corner, how conservatively will they play the Wills & Kate storyline? Or will their  actual  love story make it to our screens?

With the opening of her latest movie (a prequel to the Hunger Games franchise) Rachel Zegler is back in the news cycle, and as expected, back under fire. We’ve covered Zegler previously on this podcast, after the internet tore her a new one for comments she made about her previous film roles. But Jacob Elordi has made recent comments along a similar line and he wasn’t fed to the wolves, so why was...

Is being Men Of The Year a woman’s job? Someone check on the men because real life woman Kim Kardashian is on the cover of GQ’s Men Of The Year issue. Naturally, there’s outrage at this decision, but is it all warranted? We’re on the case. Plus we’ve got a couple of Australian shows to recommend for your Weekend Watch.

The Australian music night of nights has just taken place. The ARIA’s celebrate the biggest and brightest in Aus music… but they’re also known as being one of the more chaotic awards shows. Let’s unpack some of the more notable moments from last night’s events and weigh in on the conversation that always pops up this time of year… are the ARIA’s still relevant?

In the plot twist of 2023, today we’re coming to the defence of Leonardo DiCaprio. Before the angry mob assembles, we feel Leo, and many other celebrities, have been reduced to  less than  their ‘married with kids’ counterparts. And we’re not standing for it… even if it means we have to excuse his birthday party shenanigans from last weekend (don’t worry we’ll explain). THE END BITS Subscribe to M...

We’ve been crunching the numbers for Aussie reality tv shows and something doesn’t add up. Now, we don’t want to point the finger (okay, maybe we do) but we think influencers might be to blame. On today’s show we’re investigating why some of our most beloved reality shows (think The Bachelor & Big Brother) are tanking, and ask the hard question… does reality tv have an integrity issue? THE END...

Karma is a guy on the Chiefs… Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have sent fans into overdrive during night two of her Era’s tour in Argentina. While the world is devoid of fictional rom coms we’ve been hyper focused on the Swelce love story. And our resident Swiftie almanac, Chelsea McLaughlin, has a theory why.

We all know beauty is about what's on the inside, but it seems like someone forgot to inform the media. While we’re not a beauty podcast, we do have something to say about both Pamela Anderson and Jennifer Lopez going makeup free and the very different reactions they've received from doing so. So why was one woman praised and the other shunned? We have a theory… Plus we’re heading to the big scree...

The wait is finally over… People Magazine has crowned its Sexiest Man Alive for 2023, and we have notes. Now we’d never base someone’s sexiness purely off their looks, the concept of being ‘sexy’ has so many different touch points (like, who has a movie to promote at the moment?) So where does 2023's sexiest man stack up against the rest? THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Read Laura's full article...

You might be asking yourself what do Elvis, Eminem and Lilo & Stitch have in common? The correct (and only) answer is Jacob Elordi. The Aussie actor has been giving off  big himbo energy  (think Nate from Gossip Girl) while promoting the new film, Priscilla. Yes, this is a flick focused on Elvis’ wife Priscilla, but Jacob (who’s cast as the king of Rock ’n’ Roll) is the one whose stolen our at...

Have we reckoned with what it means to make reality tv? If you ask Bravo overlord Andy Cohen, there's no need to. We’ve just seen BravoCon (yes, a convention dedicated to celebrating Bravo TV shows and ‘Bravolebrities’ alike) hit the Vegas strip with some interesting show-related revelations. Meanwhile former reality star Bethenny Frankel has been working away on her crusade to expose the network…...

North West, yep the first born of Kimye (RIP), has given her first solo interview… and boy there’s a lot going on. Her interview responses are iconic, but how much stock should we be putting into what these kids say? Should we be idolising celebrity children? That’s up for discussion in today’s episode.

Over the last 24hrs the internet has been buzzing with the news that Sophie Turner was spotted kissing a new man (who has four names for some high society reason we don't understand).  Fans are hailing it a win amidst her divorce from Joe Jonas, but is that the point? We must ask ourselves, does anyone really win in divorce, and if so, is Sophie Turner nailing her separation? THE END BITS Subscrib...

You've probably heard us say (many times) that we're not a fashion podcast, but today we had to relax that rule because Kylie Jenner’s about to release a brand new label and we smell something suspicious... ‘Khy’ is being called the youngest Kar-Jenner's ‘debut’ into the fashion world, but is it really a debut? We look back on the ghost of Jenner’s fashion past (did someone say Kylie Swim?), plus...

There’s not many people we’d fork out big dollars to hear speak. But Gwyneth Paltrow might  be the exception.
