Today on The Spill, we unpack the official announcement from Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirming their split and what their joint statement really says.

Plus, Scary Space Mel B has tied the knot! We get into the details of her wedding, the personal history that makes this moment so meaningful, which Spice Girls showed up… and which didn’t.

And finally, Meghann Fahy and Penn Badgley are 'feuding' but it's all a play to promote their new rom-com. But are we still falling for these playful PR stunts? We explore the growing trend of ‘manufactured tension’ in Hollywood, and whether it actually moves the needle.

SPILLERS - a little daily surprise coming to you from Monday on this feed at 8am. You're welcome!

Today on The Spill, we’re celebrating the rarest of cinematic gems: movie franchises where every single film is worth watching. No skips, no flops, just pure binge-worthy magic from start to finish.

We swap stories about the iconic series that shaped our youth (and discover a few wild generational gaps), as we break down what makes a movie franchise truly great, and why some still hold up decades later.

And yes, one of our hosts was genuinely horrified to find out the other has never made it through a certain epic fantasy trilogy… and honestly, the friendship may never recover.

It’s the weekend and we’ve got thoughts - heated ones - about the latest addition to a certain dino-packed franchise.

Two of our hosts, both longtime fans, saw the new release this week and walked out with very different reactions.Was it a nostalgic thrill or a soulless sequel? We're breaking down what worked, what flopped, and why this blockbuster has us a little confused.

Plus, a PSA about a new show dropping next week from a very familiar (and often divisive) creator. We tell you why it might be worth putting on your radar.

On today’s show, we’re covering the verdict in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial. The hip-hop mogul was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, while being acquitted of more severe charges like sex trafficking and racketeering.

Plus, Jennette McCurdy’s bestselling memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died is being adapted into a new series with Jennifer Aniston set to play the role of her controlling mother. McCurdy herself is co-writing and producing the series, which promises to delve deep into the dark side of child stardom.

And speaking of child stars, we’re taking a deep dive into the world of young fame, exploring the journeys of those who navigated the spotlight successfully and those who faced significant challenges. From the pressures of early fame to the support systems (or lack thereof) that can make or break a young actor, we’ll discuss the factors that influence these trajectories.

From buzzy new releases to under-the-radar gems, we’re officially halfway through the year, so it’s time to round up the very best TV shows of 2025 (so far).

In this episode, Laura and Taylah share their top picks for what you should be watching right now. Yes, there are a few big titles you’ll recognise (White Lotus, we see you), but most of these are fresh releases that dropped their first season this year, and might not be on your radar yet.

From Stanley Tucci’s delicious culinary quest through Italy, to an underrated Netflix comedy about love, ageing and awkward family dynamics, and Kate Hudson's fun, sporty series with a big heart, there’s something for everyone to curl up with this winter.
