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.

Netflix’s Biggest New Show Has Real Life Consequences

An interview with Zendaya and her Challengers co-stars Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor has gone viral after an awkward question about kissing.

We have an unpopular opinion about what you can and can't ask celebrities.

Also, we have a theory on why everyone is so shocked after finding out Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan's age.

We Finally Have An Answer To The Biggest Celebrity Wedding ‘Scandal’

The two main stars of Bridgerton season three are in Australia and the glamorous premiere has gone viral. *Read in Lady Whistledown's voice*

When The Spill co-host Lady Laura Brodnik accepted an invitation to a mysterious event, she did not know she would attend an immersive four days of Bridgerton activities as production took over a rural NSW town.

She's taking us behind the scenes, with a firsthand account of meeting the beautiful Nicola Coughlan and handsome Luke Newton, whose presence graced the occasion. Let us embark on this tale.

*Back to Aussie voice* Of course we also have news about Rebel Wilson's memoir and why one chapter was redacted in Australia.
