Martha Stewart has found herself at the centre of unexpected Meghan Markle drama after one seemingly innocent comment sparked a royal frenzy. We break down what was actually said and why everyone is talking about it.

Plus, the deeply upsetting Perez Hilton situation has reignited a conversation about celebrity culture, accountability and empathy. We unpack the debate over whether the man who helped define the internet's most brutal gossip era deserves the privacy he rarely afforded others.

And finally, we have Heated Rivalry news... Season two has announced its newest cast members, but one controversial casting decision has already divided fans.
