The Awkward Moment We Didn't See Coming In The J-Lo/A-Rod Split

One of the world’s biggest celebrities filed for divorce this week, but the news was buried under the avalanche of Oscars content! So is there such a thing as a ‘quiet divorce’?

And another update (which most definitely hasn't flown under the radar) Kate Middleton (allegedly) dis-regarded trained professionals by editing her own image of her and her three children for Mother's Day. The Prince and Princess of Wales then broke royal tradition by going on the defensive about it. Let us explain everything.

Well, the 2024 awards season has officially come to an end with The Oscars. And didn't it go out with a bang. With glamorous outfits, shiny statues... and a naked John Cena.

From a fairly tame monologue, to some expected wins, and a perfecting ending to the Barbenheimer feud, the evening ran as expected… except for one big controversy that we need to unpack.

Happy celebrity Christmas, aka The 96th annual Oscars, to those who celebrate!

For one of the most anticipated red carpets of the year, Hollywood’s elite certainly didn’t disappoint… or maybe they did depending who you ask.

Today isn’t just about recapping the fashions, there’s a few notable outfits worth a deep look.

Happy 25th birthday to the oversexed, sort of incestuous, darkly funny film Cruel Intentions.

It’s safe to say a movie like that certainly wouldn’t be made in 2024… but Cruel Intentions isn’t a stand alone.

There’s actually a whole stack of teen-lead films that would certainly not make it to our screens today... and we think you should add them to your streaming queue.

Don’t hold your breath for this fashion trend… no really, you might pass out.

Kim Kardashian is one of a number of celebrities ushering a dangerous style back into the spotlight.

But is it promoting bad body image or just fashion? We have thoughts.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have made some choices that’ve rubbed fashion critics the wrong way.

After their huge rise to stardom as icons to tween girls (and then fashion-loving millennial women) everywhere, the pair seem to have remained relatively scandal free and out of the pop culture spotlight in recent years.

But was their latest stunt enough to bring them back to our attention for the wrong reasons… or was it intentional?

Actors like Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi can be hot AND funny. But you’d probably never know that if you’ve watched their recent Saturday Night Live episodes.

Once known as a make or break career move for famous folks, SNL seems to now have a problem… being hot is the punchline.

But who’s to blame? Do writers malfunction when someone is too good looking or are celebrities too precious with their brand?

Want Rhianna to play your next family affair? No problem! It’ll set you back you roughy eight million dollars.

At least that’s what the Ambani family forked out to bring bad gal Rhi Rhi out of semi-retirement for their sons pre-wedding bash. We must discuss.

Plus there’s been a series of stories about female celebrities changing their faces and even their voices lately… but should we really expect them to remain the same their whole lives? And is it actually our business to comment on it?

Are we going to get cancelled for loving these problematic rom-coms?

There’s no denying romantic comedy movies get away with some pretty questionable behaviour… but we still love them.

So today, off the back of an exciting update on a fourth Bridget Jones’ Diary movie, we’re walking you through our most beloved geek-to-goddess, hooker-to-housewife films.

With Dune 2 out in cinemas today, everyone’s eyes have been glued to Timothée Chalamet & Zendaya (and their interesting press tour outfits. See our Instagram for more.)

But there's a couple of notable names NOT starring in Dune 2 that have piqued our interest this press tour cycle.

So today we’re unpacking the new young Hollywood romance trend wrapped up in the Dune 2 cast.
