Dakota Johnson has a surprising new man, and the internet is losing it. We're unpacking her unexpected romance with Machine Gun Kelly, the very public 'private' first date that had fans monitoring every exit, and why Taylor Swift might just be the mastermind behind the whole thing.

Then, Jennifer Lawrence has finally caved and joined Instagram, but her big move says something much bigger about the film industry right now, and what Hollywood is really demanding from its leading women.

And Meghan Markle has finally acknowledged her move to the UK with a dreamy Cotswolds video, and predictably the world is divided. From the 'staged' cows conspiracy to whether it's a quiet dig at Buckingham Palace, plus that brutal SNL sketch, we're getting into all of it.
