Every Hidden Detail, Scandal, And Love Story From Taylor Swift's New Album

This wekeend there's the A24 horror series dropping all at once on Stan. A prequel to one of the most iconic slashers ever made, it stars Linda Cardellini as a grieving mother whose rage is about to turn deadly, with proper old-school scares and a lake you’ll never want to swim in.

Then there’s the Prime movie that starts as a swoony rom-com and takes a sharp turn. Margaret Qualley stars alongside Aaron Pierre (and his dreamy eyes), with Patrick Schwarzenegger in a casting choice we have thoughts on. Entertainment producer Chelsea Hui joins us to give her honest take.

Plus, the Jane Austen adaptation starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles is finally in cinemas. Grab your mum, your nan and your friends.

Weekend Watch: Margaret Qualley’s Rom-Com With A Twist & A Terrifying Friday The 13th Prequel

After nearly 30 years as Hollywood’s nicest woman, Jennifer Aniston is facing her first ever mean girl allegation, and it involves a rhinestone sex toy, a public humiliation ritual and one very suspicious gift box. Plus, Laura finally confesses her own sex toy disaster with the cast of a Real Housewives franchise.

The Kelly Clarkson bird drama has officially spiralled. Security footage has dropped, the internet is reading every frame, and the store’s owners say their staff are now in danger. So who’s really the villain here?

But first, Julia Stiles just brought Save the Last Dance back to life on Dancing with the Stars, and one surprise guest had us in tears.
