On the show today…

Netflix is launching a new dating show called Sexy Beasts, which is designed to test the participants' ability to fall in love with someone's personality before seeing their appearance. Which sounds lovely, except that they’ve gone to extreme lengths to distort people’s appearances and the result is truly nightmare-inducing.

And after speaking publicly for the first time at a court hearing about her conservatorship, and claiming her family has been abusing her, Britney Spears has issued an apology to fans. But now we need to talk about the two celebrity names that have been pulled into the public conversation and why they should be banned from mentioning her.

Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time!
