The Spill

It’s officially the festive season — and Meghan Markle is showing us exactly how she thinks we should be celebrating Christmas this year. So today, we’re giving you our brutally honest review of her brand-new Netflix special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. Laura and Em are diving into everything from the surprising celebrity drop-ins, to the wholesome-but-slightly-unrealistic hosting moments we wish we knew how to execute... we're across all the juicy nuggets so you don't have to be. We’re unpacking the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it details, the unexpectedly funny moments, and the reason behind Laura's admission that she secretly wants to be besties with Meghan. And of course… we need to talk about Prince Harry. Specifically, why his biggest enemy this Christmas might not be who you think.

It’s that special time of year when we must revisit Tom Cruise’s strangest (and most iconic) holiday tradition — the infamous ‘coconut cake list.’ We’re diving into how this sugary gift became an elite Hollywood status symbol, who’s made the cut this year, and who’s been heartbreakingly dropped… and is still absolutely devo about it. Plus, a brand new rom-com is on the way, and the trailer alone has sent us into a full spiral. It stars two actors who were once pegged as the next big thing — and now might be hoping this film is their ticket to a much-needed career revival. And Elizabeth Olsen has opened up about what it was really like growing up in the shadow of Mary-Kate and Ashley. From childhood fame chaos to carefully distancing herself from nepotism, her new interview paints a picture of one of Hollywood’s most fascinating families. LISTEN Want more Cruise content?

Robert Irwin has been crowned the winner of Dancing With The Stars, but that’s not the biggest reveal to come out of the finale. It looks like he’s now dating a very famous Hollywood actress, so allow us to present the evidence. And, look, we think the pressure on celebrities to tell funny stories on talk shows has escalated to an unmanageable level, because Kate Beckinsale has just shared the wildest story we’ve ever heard, and we need you all to be horrid with us. Plus, Lizzo has penned an extraordinary essay about her weight loss, the scandal that nearly ended her career, and what she owes her fans. Her statements feel like a battle cry, so why is no one talking about this?

One of our favourite Christmas movies of all time is finally getting a sequel, but there’s one reason why we’re now nervous about what it will look like. And Matthew McConaughey has shared an interesting story about what led him to his wife, but was it too much of a sexy overshare? We’re ready to fight to the death over it. Plus, Wicked: For Good has broken box office records across the world, but the movie’s press tour looked wildly different from last year.
