Judi Dench's Reflections On Harvey Weinstein

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.

MORNING TEA: The Sussexes Are Back In The UK & Emily In Paris Has A Final Date

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/a71503d6-84d2-4952-a476-b4ac0056ceec/transcript

Today we're farewelling the truly irreplaceable Dolly Parton, and celebrating the parts of her legacy that don't always get the spotlight: the songwriting, the philanthropy, and the doors she kicked open for every female artist who came after her.

Plus, Taylor Swift just sat down for a rare, heavily-controlled interview, and if you listen closely, she's quietly told us exactly what's coming next. We're decoding the looking-back, the throughline she keeps returning to, and the very deliberate play she's making for one final piece of her legacy.

And for the obsessives: the Season 3 teaser for The Pitt has dropped, and the eagle-eyed clues buried in it - a changed timeline, a missing wedding ring, and one very welcome return have us spiralling ahead of January.

Read the celebrity tributes flowing in for Dolly Parton here.
