On this edition of Hot Off The Press, we debate whether there's fuel to the Obama split rumours, and what a single Barry and Michelle would even look like. We also then make a hard pivot and ponder how Conclave predicted current politics, and why Wendy's is in an internet spat with, um, Katy Perry. YUP.

Today we’re serving up one of the most chaotic, drawn-out, and fan-fueled sagas in celebrity history: the tangled love triangle between Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Hailey Baldwin—now Hailey Bieber. Now, this isn’t just a love story. It’s a case study in internet culture, parasocial relationships, and what happens when fans turn romantic drama into full-blown conspiracy. 

It spans over a decade, involves multiple public breakups, marriages, shade-filled social media posts, and oh yeah—an eyebrow lamination scandal. So today, we’re breaking it all down. Not just the timeline, but how the fandom got involved, and of course, what it says about us.

On this week's episode of Hot Off The Press, we tear Disney apart, just like the studio tried to take down Snow White Rachel Zegler for her pro-Palestine stance. And, of course, Celine Song's new film, The Materialists, which dropped its trailer this week. Oh and...is Sydney Sweeney single? And what does that mean...for Hollywood?!

This week, we're doing a little rewind... Marilyn Manson, self-described "provocateur" and long-time shock rocker, continues to have a platform despite having been accused by countless women of extreme sexual abuse. After forming a sisterhood, these women – including actress Evan Rachel Wood – came forward and are working to hold Marilyn and abusers like him accountable. Together, Sarah and Sadaf take a look at their stories and trace the path that led Marilyn to the reputation he has today. As a warning, this episode will contain discussions of intimate partner violence and emotional abuse.

On this week's spicy breakdown, Sarah and Sadaf tackle a few hot topics, including the Gene Hackman conspiracy theories, the Baldwins' new controversial reality show (minus the Spanish) and, most deeply, whether influencers are taking over journalists' jobs by taking over the red carpet. Yes, we're talking Hannah Berner and that Meg the Stallion moment. Oof.
