It’s been a big weekend in entertainment news, so today we need to play catch up!

Firstly, we need to squash those rumours about Britney Spears down under.

Unfortunately she won’t be stopping by the Opera House this week, BUT something exciting to do with her new book is going down.

Plus, we demand to know what celebrities are wearing for Halloween - especially after the SAG-AFTRA union has banned them from donning their best Barbie & Ken costumes.

And, it’s time to talk about Emily Blunt’s body shaming comments & why she might not be the problem when it comes to fat shaming.

The Spill by Mamamia

There’s More To The Emily Blunt Backlash Than One Apology

We’re heading straight down nostalgia lane because High School Musical is officially 20, and yes, it still rules. And you can bet, Emily's ready to walk Laura through the movie that basically made her who she is today.

We unpack our favourite characters, call out the ones who might be a little too “pick me” in hindsight, and relive out the musical numbers we’ve been singing (hell, maybe belting) for two decades.

Plus, some hard truths: what High School Musical actually teaches us about life, love… how to juggle basketball AND a musical theatre career. Spoiler: the franchise might be deeper than you remember.

THE END BITS

A Brutally Honest Review Of High School Musical As It Turns 20

Dear gentle reader, Bridgerton has returned. We have your first look at season 4 of the much loved Netflix drama. With all the delicious Regency era language (we are petitioning for "rake" to be the word of 2026) and a hot new leading man (without mutton chops). Loosen your corsets, this is going to be steamy.

Plus, Em recommends a horror movie?! Our resident scaredy cat loved this latest cinematic release starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. A little bit Survivor, a little bit slasher it might be the perfect first date movie.

Need a refresher before watching Bridgerton Season 4? Listen to our all new Bridgerton podcast on Spotify and Apple.

Kendall Jenner’s new Super Bowl ad has been released and it’s shinning a light on The Kardashian Kurse. What is that, you ask? Allow us to explain.

Plus, Kim Kardashian has finally explained why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry asked to be edited out of Kris Jenner’s birthday party photos. But the way she told the story has us questioning what’s really going on behind the scenes. 

And Sydney Sweeney has launched a lingerie company and announced it by committing a crime and then posting the evidence online. What’s next for her? Some Hollywood power players have weighed in on her fate.
