This week's Hot Off The Press is a veritable gossip buffet! First, we examine the claims of sexual misconduct levelled at Jared Leto. For the record, we suspected he was a creep back in 2022! We also check in on Ariana Grande's health, as well as her plans to take an extended break from the spotlight. In addition, we dish on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is suddenly so hot again thanks to Zendaya and Tom Holland. And of course, we discuss the negotiations for the Barbie Movie. Listen to us debate whether Warner Brothers will pay Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie what they deserve...or lose the Barbie IP

In this episode from our archives, dating back to 2022, we talk all things Jared Leto, and confront the many assault allegations he is finally facing. Since his breakout teen heartthrob role on My So-Called Life up until the dredge that is Suicide Squad, House of Gucci and Morbius,  Leto and his piercing blue eyes have haunted us, from screen to stage, where he performs with his rock band 30 Seconds to Mars. With years of questionable opinions and ego to match, and rumours of a cult and assault allegations trailing him, we explore just how this actor has continued to prevail, shiny Oscar in hand.

From Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Gossip Girl to an icky lifestyle brand, many celebrity friendships and one of Hollywood’s messiest legal battles, Blake Lively has spent two decades transforming herself from Hollywood ingénue into an increasingly complicated pop-culture figure. This week, we revisit her rise, her romance and carefully cultivated power-couple brand with Ryan Reynolds, the controversies surrounding Preserve and their plantation wedding, and the reported unraveling of her friendship with Taylor Swift. Of course, we also unpack the It Ends With Us fallout, her bitter conflict with Justin Baldoni, and the internet’s dramatic turn against a woman it once loved. We've got a lot to cover, so this week is super-sized!

In this episode from our archives, we are joined by Marvel expert Mikaela Gorman and, together, we examine the history of problematic representations of women in the MCU.

On this week's episode from our archives, we dove deep into the cultural phenomenon that is Call Her Daddy. We revisit its early Barstool days, the infamous feud between hosts Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn, the multimillion-dollar Spotify deal that changed podcasting forever—and the ongoing debate: is Call Her Daddy empowering women, or simply rebranding patriarchy for clicks? Along the way, we unpack the show's complicated relationship to feminism, internet fame, and the commodification of female sexuality. Plus: the evolution of Alex Cooper from raunchy co-host to media mogul.

This is an emergency episode! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot on July 3rd at MSG, and we have lots of feelings about it! In this bonus installment of The Reheat, we dish about the mysterious gown, the weird venue, the controversial guest list (why wasn't Blake Lively there???), and we address the elephant in the room - will Taylor and Travis release their wedding as a documentary? We think the answer is yes! And of course, we also go off on why it's weird to have Adam Sandler as your wedding officiant. If you have thoughts and feelings about The Wedding of the Summer, you'll want to hear this episode!  

NB. This episode was recorded before we knew why Margaret Qualley was not in attendance at Taylor and Travis' nuptials.

In this week's Hot Off the Press, we stay on the Taylor Swift wedding beat (stay tuned later this week for a full wedding recap), reflect on the tragic death of former child star Daveigh Chase, the announcement of Netflix’s new JonBenet Ramsey limited series starring Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen, and the hilarious new romance between Jussie Smollett and Karamo Brown. We also dig into King Charles’ newly revealed tax bill, the decision not to live in Buckingham Palace after its costly refurbishment, Prince George’s move to Eton, and what all of this says about the economics and optics of modern monarchy. Juicy.

Who says a cold country can't produce hot gossip? To celebrate Canada Day, we're revisiting the sexiest couple Canada has ever produced, Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. We go deep on how this former couple began (they were co-stars who hated each other when they filmed The Notebook). We also luxuriate in how the pair that became known as McGosling eventually gave into that belligerent sexual tension - going from enemies to lovers. Come for our detailed discussion of their sizzling PDA and stay for our thoughts and feelings about their eventual breakup.  This episode will make you sing, "O Canada!"

This week, we’re diving into the glamorous, chaotic and deeply misunderstood world of WAGs. What exactly is a WAG? Technically, it stands for “wives and girlfriends” of athletes. But culturally, it has come to mean so much more: public scrutiny, reality TV drama, cheating scandals, courtroom battles, and women who often become more famous than the men they’re attached to. In this episode, we trace the rise of WAG culture from its early-2000s explosion, when Victoria Beckham became the undisputed queen of the genre, to the double standards and why these women are mocked for loving fame but punished when they try to build careers of their own; why athletes’ partners are treated like accessories until they become too visible; and how social media has changed the game entirely. It's an extra juicy one.

We're back for another Hot off the Press! This week, we're diving into the relationship that makes us believe in soulmates, Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry. Separately, they're a little cringey, but together, they are adorable! We are delighted to hear they're considering cohabitating in Montreal. However, you'll want to hear Sarah's reasons why she hopes their hypothetical future baby will be born on American soil. We also address the growing concern over Ariana Grande's shrinking body - and her breakup with the performer also known as SpongeBob - as she begins her first tour in seven years.
