Emma Roberts is once again the subject of negative headlines – this time, thanks to behaviour on the set of Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story.

Roberts has privately apologised for transphobic behaviour towards her American Horror Story: 1984 co-star Angelica Ross, after Ross recalled a number of on-set incidents on social media this week. Today we explain what happened and why this story seems to have quietly been swept under the rug. 

Plus it's Weekend Watch time! And we've got one high brow and one low brow recommendation, so there's something for everyone.

The Spill by Mamamia

This Emma Roberts Story Will Make Your Blood Boil

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.
