The Spill

Dakota Johnson is back on the Verity press tour, and we can't work out who she really is. Between a chaotic Vogue house tour and a baffling podcast moment that has us questioning everything, we're unpacking the 'survival tactic' behind her public persona.

Hilary Duff is leaning all the way into the Lizzie McGuire era, but not every star wants to relive their biggest hit. As Tones and I's NRL Grand Final plans collapse over one very famous song, we're asking whether artists owe fans the bangers.

Plus, Taylor Swift has dropped four mysterious song titles for The Encore, and our resident Swiftie has a theory that might just crack the whole thing open.

Joe Alwyn and Mary Beth Barone had the internet convinced they were secretly dating, and now we know the truth is far more calculated. We're unpacking the hard launch nobody saw coming.

Almost 30 years after the tragic death of JonBenét Ramsey, Netflix is revisiting the case that gripped the world. Melissa McCarthy is playing Patsy Ramsey, and in her first interview about the role she's done something most actors wouldn't dare: she's picked a side.

Finally, Taylor Swift has dropped a surprise new song, and the Swifties have been working overtime. From zeros hidden in lyrics to a cinema sign we all missed, we're decoding every clue and asking the big question: is the showgirl era ending, or just getting started?

Greta Gerwig's Narnia first look has landed, and one casting choice has fans spiralling. Meryl Streep is voicing Aslan in a Bowie-inspired, heterochromatic-eyed "rock opera" reimagining, and not everyone's on board. We're unpacking the backlash, the David Bowie of it all, and why the critics need to calm down.

Lili Reinhart has spent weeks recreating iconic rom com looks (How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, Atonement, Ever After) to sell her new Prime Video film The Love Hypothesis, and it's split the internet. Loving homage or engineered virality? We're getting into why the stunt dressing fell flat, and the looks that actually landed.

Plus, the new season of The Kardashians has dropped and something's missing. No scandal, no romance, just product placement. We're deep diving into why the family built on drama suddenly has none, and whether we'll still hit play.
