On the show today...

Julia Fox has taken to Tiktok to defend her relationship with Kanye West after a fan called her out for 'dating a famously violent misogynist and anti-semite’. Here's everything we know. 

And Chris Hemsworth has announced he's taking a break from acting after a shock diagnosis while filming his new docu-series. We discuss what that choice says about priorities and our perceptions of success.

Plus Kelly Rowland's made headlines after praising Chris Brown's American Music Award win yesterday. It's a surprising move considering Chris' history of alleged offenses and has us questioning how the RnB star managed to achieve such success despite his reputation.

The Spill by Mamamia

The Staying Power of Chris Brown

Olivia Rodrigo pulled off the girl-power festival of the year, and the surprise guest list alone had us spiralling. We're unpacking the moment three music legends walked out on stage and the jaw-dropping donation that doubled overnight.

Then, Andrew Garfield's prestige new film is drowning in Robin Hood allegations, and honestly, nobody can tell us if he's playing the man in green or just some guy. We're deep diving the marketing meltdown that has two studios quietly deleting posters and the internet fully confused.

Finally, Tom Cruise is bringing back one of his most iconic films with a very pregnant new co-star, and the announcement video is peak Tom. But there's a Nicole Kidman connection lurking underneath, plus one furious former co-star making it messy.

MORNING TEA: Harry Styles' Cheeky Taylor Swift Wedding Shout-Out & Tom Cruise's Huge Sequel News

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/adde5da9-07de-432f-8d3e-b4b4004197c8/transcript

Practical Magic 2 is almost here, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have reunited on the red carpet... and it's officially witchy season. Naturally, we're counting down the witchy movies that shaped us, from midnight-margarita comfort watches to the genuinely cursed.

There's one 1990 classic that traumatised Laura so badly she turned down an Anne Hathaway interview rather than go near it, and she's begging you not to let your kids watch it. We're also spiralling over the '90s cult favourite that turned an entire generation of tweens into candle-lighting, spell-casting witches… and had real witchcraft on set, storms and all.

Grab your candles (carefully), pour a margarita, and settle in. Just remember: nothing in the witchy world is ever free.
