On the show today…

You won’t ever hear the name 'Kanye West' again after this week… only because the singer has officially changed his name to Ye. The name is linked to both one of his children and the Bible, but that’s not the only reason he is making headlines right now.

Plus, Angelina Jolie walked the red carpet for the premiere of her new film with five of her children by her side and the world is swooning over the family photos. But if you look closely at the image, it also proves that one of the darkest rumours about Brad Pitt could in fact be true.

And comedian Dave Chappelle's new Netflix special has drawn criticism both from external critics and internally with employees set to stage a walkout accusing the special of hate speech and inciting violence. The conversation has been labelled ‘cancel culture’, but there’s more to this story than what the headlines are covering.
