Jacob Elordi Is (Allegedly) After Kendall Jenner’s Money & The School Letters Causing Meghan Markle Drama Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

Jonathan Bailey has officially pulled out of Sunday in the Park with George following Ariana Grande’s departure. So was the whole point of the project getting these two back on stage together?

Plus, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are back in the UK and, naturally, the rumour mill has immediately gone into overdrive. From resurfaced stories about Meghan’s relationship with staff to mysterious warnings reportedly being sent to families at schools in the Cotswolds, we’re sorting through what we actually know and what might just be another royal headline designed to cause chaos.

And finally, an extremely important investigation: is Jacob Elordi a poor Australian pauper attempting to get his hands on Kendall Jenner’s fortune? A wild report claims Kendall’s family is worried she’s footing the bill for their whirlwind romance, but one member of the Jenner family has unexpectedly entered the chat to call BS.

Every Lie Kylie Jenner Has Recently Told Us & The Funniest Show Of The Year Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

There's a show we're obsessed with and we need you to be too. Season two of Adults just landed on Disney+ and it's somehow even funnier than the first, so we're deep-diving the show that has Taylor Swift, us, and apparently all of TikTok in a chokehold.
We're also unpacking why the US Dancing with the Stars has quietly become the hottest ticket in Hollywood, with A-listers reportedly sliding into DMs begging for a spot. The latest name attached has sparked a full-blown fan uprising, and one theory about what it all really says about the world is a little too convincing.
And finally, we're getting to the bottom of all the lies Kylie Jenner has recently told us, from a very questionable interview to the truly unhinged claim about a talking cat that has us genuinely spooked. We need answers.

The Tom Cruise and Anne Hathaway Video Making Headlines & Someone Needs To Check On Poor Andrew Garfield Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Olivia Rodrigo pulled off the girl-power festival of the year, and the surprise guest list alone had us spiralling. We're unpacking the moment three music legends walked out on stage and the jaw-dropping donation that doubled overnight.
Then, Andrew Garfield's prestige new film is drowning in Robin Hood allegations, and honestly, nobody can tell us if he's playing the man in green or just some guy. We're deep diving the marketing meltdown that has two studios quietly deleting posters and the internet fully confused.
Finally, Tom Cruise is bringing back one of his most iconic films with a very pregnant new co-star, and the announcement video is peak Tom. But there's a Nicole Kidman connection lurking underneath, plus one furious former co-star making it messy.

The Best Witch Movies Of All Time (Including One That Traumatised Laura For Life) Aug 28, 2026

Show notes

Practical Magic 2 is almost here, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have reunited on the red carpet... and it's officially witchy season. Naturally, we're counting down the witchy movies that shaped us, from midnight-margarita comfort watches to the genuinely cursed.
There's one 1990 classic that traumatised Laura so badly she turned down an Anne Hathaway interview rather than go near it, and she's begging you not to let your kids watch it. We're also spiralling over the '90s cult favourite that turned an entire generation of tweens into candle-lighting, spell-casting witches… and had real witchcraft on set, storms and all.
Grab your candles (carefully), pour a margarita, and settle in. Just remember: nothing in the witchy world is ever free.

Weekend Watch: An Honest Opinion On Jacob Elordi’s Latest Movie & A Sexy New Book-to-Film Adaptation Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

This week on the big screen, there's Ridley Scott's new post-apocalyptic epic starring Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, Josh Brolin and Guy Pearce. Reviews are properly split on this one, but Josh Brolin steals it with one of the best action sequences in ages.
Meanwhile, a new six-part drama has just landed on Paramount+, starring Hugo Weaving, Heather Mitchell and Georgie Parker. Kicking off with one of the best meet-cutes we've seen in ages. It's a genuine love letter to the harbour city, packed with heart and Aussie acting royalty.
And finally, a sexy new book-to-film adaptation just landed on Prime Video, starring Eva Longoria and set against a gorgeous Spanish coastline. A summer trip turns into an unexpected romance while family secrets simmer in the background. It's pure sun-soaked escapism.

Why Kate Hudson's New Show Has Devastated Us & Why North West Is Making Headlines Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

North West is Dazed's new cover star, and the internet has a LOT to say. At 13, Kim Kardashian's eldest is being raked over the coals for her styling, her adults-only itinerary and a music tour that quietly collapsed, and we're unpacking why this cover has reignited the child-star debate all over again.
And we're mourning the death of the original idea. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey are reuniting for a How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days sequel, and while we love them, we're asking the bigger question: is Hollywood ever going to greenlight anything new again?
Plus, we pay tribute to the late, great Tim Curry — the shape-shifting genius behind some of our most formative (and most terrifying) childhood characters, and the films worth revisiting to remember him.
