The first season of the spin-off introduced us to House Targaryen on the brink of a devastating civil war, with the second — which premieres on June 17 — throwing fans headfirst Daemon (Matt Smith) and Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) battle against her half-brother, the newly crowned Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney).

Kate Winslet says kissing Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic was “a mess”

by Jessica Lynch

It might be time to let go of your Titanic Jack Dawson crush because Kate Winslet just revealed that kissing Leonardo DiCaprio wasn’t as dreamy as it looked.

In fact, she says it was a bit of a mess!

Kate Winslet says kissing Leonardo DiCaprio on Titanic was “not all it’s cracked up to be”

Revisiting the film’s iconic “I’m flying” scene with Vanity Fair, Winslet shared that while Leo was undoubtedly charming, their kissing scenes were far from magical.

“My god, he’s quite the romancer, isn’t he? No wonder every young girl in the world wanted to be kissed by Leonardo DiCaprio,” Winslet joked. However, she added, “It was not all it’s cracked up to be.”

Winslet explained the messy reality behind those kisses: “We kept doing this kiss, and I’ve got a lot of pale makeup on. I would end up looking as though I’d been sucking a caramel chocolate bar after each take because his makeup would come off on me.”

Meanwhile, DiCaprio looked as if “there was a bit missing from his face” thanks to the residue of her paler cosmetics. “Oh God, it was such a mess,” Winslet said.

Behind-the-scenes chaos

The chaos didn’t end with the makeup mishaps. Winslet also recalled banging her knee on the railing several times and needing multiple takes to get everything right.

“This was a nightmare,” she said, remembering how DiCaprio couldn’t stop laughing throughout the scene.

Despite the on-set difficulties, Winslet said she’s proud of Titanic and its lasting impact. The film won 11 Oscars, including Best Picture, and remains one of the highest-grossing movies ever.

“I do feel very proud of it,” Winslet said. “Whole other generations of people are discovering the film or seeing it for the first time, and there’s something extraordinary about that.”

One downside to the film’s enduring popularity is that Winslet can’t board a boat without being asked to reenact the beloved “I’m flying” scene.

“It does my head in,” she admitted, though she sometimes obliges.

MAFS expert Mel Schilling reveals how she explained her cancer diagnosis to her young daughter

by Indi Brummelen

Married at First Sight Australia expert Mel Schilling has revealed how she explained her cancer diagnosis to her daughter, Maddie.

The 52-year-old announced in late 2023 that she had been diagnosed with colon cancer after experiencing severe pain while filing the 11th season of the marriage experiment.

Mel has since undergone surgery to remove a tumour and is now undergoing chemotherapy, details of which she’s had to simplify for her daughter.

Chatting to OK! Magazine, she said Maddie has a “nine-year-old’s version” of what cancer is and what it means.

According to the TV expert, her daughter understands she’s unwell to a certain degree.

“She knows I’m having chemo and she knows that when I have an infusion I’ll be tired and need extra cuddles, which she is there for,” Mel said.

“She understands it in her own way.”

Mel Schilling calls husband her “rock” amid cancer battle

Mel, who is also an expert on MAFS UK, added that her husband, Gareth Brisbane, has been her “rock while she undergoes cancer treatment.

“He’s gone through his own tough year as he’s had grief in his life, but has still been there for me,” she admitted.

It comes after Mel reflected on the past six months, confessing that her treatment is “getting tough now”.

“I’m about halfway through and it’s getting hard,” she told The Mirror.

“Feeling fatigued and nauseous is a bigger part of my everyday life. It feels like I’m hungover or pregnant every day, which is not fun.”

Despite the toll her diagnosis and subsequent treatment are taking, Mel remains determined with the support of her family.

The trio recently settled permanently in South West London, with the mum-of-one dishing she started chemotherapy on the same day they moved house.

“In true ‘me’ fashion, the day we moved was the day I started chemotherapy,” she told the outlet.

“I don’t do things by halves.”

The conclusion of Season Three’s fourth episode saw Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) asking whether Penelope Featheringrton (Nicola Coughlan) was going to marry him after a rather scandalous romp in a carriage (IYKYK).

While that moment was spicy as is, episode five had fans in a tizzy when Polin (Colin and Penelope) consummated their relationship during a six (!!) minute scene set to an orchestral arrangement of Ariana Grande‘s POV.

What have Bridgerton fans said about the show’s longest-ever sex scene?

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Bridgerton viewers reacted to what some are dubbing “one of the hottest sex scenes [they’ve] ever seen”.

Farmer Wants a Wife 2024’s Farmer Joe addresses rumours he and Sarah are engaged

by Indi Brummelen

Farmer Wants a Wife Australia 2024‘s Farmer Joe Bobbin has addressed rumours he and Sarah Carey are engaged after she accidentally dropped a major clue.

In early June, the couple sparked speculation that Joe really did find his future wife on the hit dating show after fans spied a sparkling jewel on his bae’s finger during an Instagram Reel.

 “I spy with my little eye a pretty ring on your finger,” one follower penned.

Farmer Joe and Sarah. Seven.

While Sarah hasn’t addressed the rumours, Joe has spoken out — albeit without any juicy confirmation.

“It was only a week ago we were short odds for being broken up. We move quick around here,” he joked to Yahoo Lifestyle, remaining coy.

However, he later confirmed on June 13 that they definitely aren’t engaged (yet) when appearing on CBR Wrapped.

“Sarah and I, our relationship really is only just starting in a sense,” Joe said.

“We’re only just allowed to be together and do stuff. It was a bit difficult at the start of all that, but we’re just doing it one step at a time.”

FWAW's Joe and Sarah

He also added that the video Sarah posted was flipped and that she wears the ring on her right hand.

What video did Sarah post that prompted engagement rumours?

In a video on Instagram, Sarah serenaded Joe with a song on the guitar, one she says was cut from the show.

However, the song was forgotten when viewers noticed her glittering ring on that very special finger.

“Wait a minute… it looks like you have a special piece of bling on your finger, is that what I think it is? I really hope so,” one fan pointed out.

“Omg I didn’t even notice!” another replied.

A third expressed it was the “first thing [they] noticed”.

“Do you have something to tell everyone Sarah?”

While they aren’t headed for the aisle yet, here’s hoping they’re not too far off!

MAFS’ Jade shades bae Ridge on Instagram by revealing major “ick” to her followers

by Indi Brummelen

Married at First Sight Australia 2024‘s Jade Pywell has revealed what she found to be a major “ick” when it came to her TV husband Ridge Barredo.

The couple quickly became one of the strongest pairs on the show after joining the 11th season of the marriage experiment as intruder newlyweds.

While there were initially some concerns about Ridge’s maturity level compared to Jade — who has a young daughter, Victoria — they’ve outlasted the majority of couples from their season. (Despite rumours they briefly split straight after the MAFS 2024 reunion…)

Since leaving the experiment, Ridge has relocated to the Gold Coast to be with his TV wife and the pair have kept viewers hooked with TikToks and Instagram Reels about their relationship.

Recently, Jade shaded her partner in a Reel of her sipping tea — and that’s exactly what the confession is!

What was Jade’s “ick” when it comes to Ridge?

“When he says ‘you know you’re going to fall in love with me’ but you’ve already seen his following list,” Jade penned.

She went on to caption the post: “Fun fact: I had seen my husband’s following list on Instagram on our honeymoon and I knew from our honeymoon, he wasn’t the one for me.

“He followed over 1,000 girls. Fast forward to when he fell for me, he randomly unfollowed almost every girl. And now here we are.”

Ridge was quick to bite back at the jab, insisting that “1,000 [girls] is a bit dramatic”.

However, Jade wasn’t having it.

“It was literally 1,178… Ick.” Yikes.

Married at First Sight fans react to Jade Pywell’s “ick”

One MAFS fan took to the comment section to point out that while they weren’t taking Ridge’s “side”, the TV groom looked “sad”.

“I just looked at his following he only follows 250 or so people but over a thousand follow him, and that is out of his control…. you know that surely,” they wrote.

Jade then shot back: “I understand he’s following 250… it was over 1,000 before we started dating though… Ridge and I are happy, this comment from you was pointless.”

Meanwhile, others confessed to not knowing what the big to-do is about following certain people.

“Should be able to follow however many and whoever he wants as long as he’s not doing anything wrong,” a follower said.

Another suggested Jade “try to show the love and trust more”.

“Leave the jealousy behind,” they urged. “You will be much happier. Really love you two. Hope you have a bright future ahead together.”

Neighbours star warns new Ramsay St resident Chrishell Stause of show’s “jail vibes”

by Indi Brummelen

Incoming Neighbours star Chrishell Stause has been warned of the long-running soap’s “jail vibes” by a fellow alum.

ICYMI: Selling Sunset star-slash-musician G-Flip‘s wife was announced as the newest Ramsay Street resident in May, with her guest tenure on the series to begin filming in July.

While Neighbours — which first hit the airwaves in 1985 — is iconic, former cast member Jordy Lucas thinks Chrishell might be in for a rude awakening when stepping onto the set.

Chrishell Stause and Jordy Lucas. Instagram.

Dishing some dirt in a recent episode of her podcast, That’s Showbiz Baby!, Jordy — who played Summer Hoyland from 2009 to 2012 before reprising her role in 2023 — said the soap is far removed from the “glitz and glamour” of Selling Sunset.

“What [Chrishell is] in for when she goes to Ramsay Street, is not that,” she confessed.

“To give you a bit of an idea of the ambience … They used to film a show called Prisoner in the studios. So the whole building has a bit of a jail vibe.”

Jordy added: “It makes me chuckle imagining what her face is going to look like when she walks into Nunawading [where Neighbours is filmed in Melbourne].

“It’s definitely going to be a very different experience for Chrishell.” 

Jordy Lucas thinks Neighbours cast might be “p*ssed off” at Chrishell Stause

Further fanning the flames that will undoubtedly feature in a future dramatic episode of the soapie, Jordy thinks any special treatment Chrishell receives will sh*t the current cast.

“I’m assuming she will have a trailer, which would also make me laugh because they’re going to have to make room in the car park for the trailer which is going to piss off [everyone],” she predicted.

Jordy then urged Chrishell to “immerse” herself in the experience.

In fact, she dished that the cast is “like a family” and that regardless of the stark difference between sets, the 42-year-old will defs “enjoy herself”.

What has Chrishell Stause said about her Neighbours role?

No stranger to a soap opera, having appeared in Days of Our Lives and The Bold and The Beautiful, Chrishell previously confessed that she was “honoured and excited” to join Neighbours.

“Coming from the world of soaps in the U.S., it’s back to my first love in the entertainment industry,” she said.

“They pitched me an idea for a character, and I was immediately excited to figure out a way to make it happen. Ramsay Street here I come!”

The never-ending wait for Euphoria season 3: What’s causing the delay?

by Jessica Lynch

It looks like we’ll be waiting a little longer for Season 3 of Euphoria to hit the small screen if recent comments from HBO executives are anything to go by.

In a recent chat with Variety, HBO CEO Casey Bloys shed light on the delays and creative challenges holding up the hit series’ highly anticipated return.

Euphoria first hit HBO screens in 2019, featuring an ensemble cast including Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Eric Dane, Maude Apatow, Storm Reid, and Colman Domingo, with the season 2 finale airing in February 2022.

In March 2024, HBO revealed that filming for season 3 was temporarily paused.

“HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season,” the network said in a statement to Variety at the time. “In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities.”

Euphoria creator Sam Levinson’s creative struggles

According to Ploys, Sam Levinson, the brain behind Euphoria, is wrestling with the new season’s direction.

“There’s been a lot of back and forth,” Bloys revealed.

“One of the issues I think that Sam is thinking about is that he doesn’t want to have it in high school anymore. That’s where it was set and what made sense then.”

“So when you take it out of that, there’s a lot of back and forth about where to set it and how far in the future to set it and all that stuff. But I think he’s got a take that he’s excited about, and he’s busy writing.”

The return of the core cast

The core cast of Euphoria is set to return in Season 3. HBO

Amidst all the uncertainty, one thing is clear: the core cast isn’t going anywhere.

Bloys reassured fans that the main stars will return. “It’s the same core cast,” he confirmed.

So, expect to see Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, and the rest of the gang back on your screens. The specifics of their new adventures, however, remain shrouded in mystery.

Production woes and tragic loss

The road to season 3 has undoubtedly been rocky.

First, filming was initially halted due to the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild strikes.

Then, tragedy struck with the death of star Angus Cloud, who portrayed the beloved Fezco, following an accidental overdose at the age of just 25.

Euphoria

Cast members share their thoughts

Despite the setbacks, the cast remains optimistic.

Zendaya, who’s also an executive producer on the show, admitted in April, “I don’t know when the show is coming back… it’s beyond me.”

Meanwhile, Hunter Schafer also expressed her eagerness to reunite with her co-stars, saying, “Everyone’s kind of blown up, and so with that comes people travelling a lot… Whatever happens, I’m just excited to get back together once it’s time.”

The future of Euphoria might be uncertain, but one thing’s for sure: the anticipation is only growing stronger.

You can stream the first two seasons of Euphoria on Binge.

Official Synopsis

Penelope Featherington has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton after hearing his disparaging words about her last season. She has, however, decided it’s time to take a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from her mother and sisters. But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly. 

Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he’s disheartened to realize that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the cold shoulder.

Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season. But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly.

Complicating matters for Penelope is her rift with Eloise, who has found a new friend in a very unlikely place, while Penelope’s growing presence in the ton makes it all the more difficult to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret.

MAFS faves Timothy and Lucinda have fans concerned after shock social media move

by Indi Brummelen

Married at First Sight Australia fans are concerned about 2024 duo Timothy Smith and Lucinda Light‘s friendship after noticing something suss on Instagram.

While their romantic relationship turned to dust during the 11th season of the marriage experiment, Timothy and Lucinda left the show the best of friends.

Timothy Smith and Lucinda Light. Nine.

Viewers loved following along on social media as their platonic relationship evolved post-filming. However, they’ve since clocked onto the fact that the pair no longer follow each other on Instagram.

But wait! There’s more: Timothy and Lucinda also appear to be untagged in photos on each other’s account, which indicates that they may have blocked one another.

Married at First Sight‘s Timothy Smith’s pointed TikTok

While neither Lucinda nor Timothy has addressed the unprecedented social media change, Yahoo Lifestyle reported that it follows the TV groom sharing a pointed TikTok on June 9.

“As I went about my day yesterday, it made me think about time and how valuable time is,” he said. “If people don’t respect your time — and respect is a big word — if they don’t appreciate or respect the time that you give people, cut them out.

“Get rid of them.”

The 51-year-old added that “time is the most valuable commodity”.

@timsmith070 Look people, just a bit of a Sunday morning thought I hope everyone’s having a great long weekend and if you’re not tomorrow will be better. Don’t be afraid to just take a day or two out it’s okay#life #mensmentalhealth #struggle #australia #chalangeyourself #challenge ♬ You Are the Reason (Cover) – Joe Tamaela

“We give it out so flippantly for free, and if you don’t respect it and appreciate it, then get rid of them,” he continued.

“Don’t let anyone waste one minute of your life and time because if they don’t respect it, they don’t deserve to have it.”

The outlet also pointed out that Lucinda unfollowed her former TV flame on June 10, as per analytics site SocialBlade, which showed her account unfollowed 24 people that day.

MAFS 2024 participants weigh in on Lucinda and Timothy’s friendship

One of the duo’s MAFS 2024 castmates told Yahoo Lifestyle that they were just a shocked as fans to learn Lucinda and Timothy no longer follow each other.

They suspected that the tension is only recent, and may be due to Lucinda being “too busy” to nurture the friendship as she once did.

Another MAFS star said “there’s a lot of resentment towards Lucinda because she’s getting the most work and opportunities” post-show.

Lucinda. Nine.

However, they didn’t think Tim would be “jealous” of her blossoming career like some of the other participants.

The lovebirds shared their joyous news on Instagram with a series of stunning selfies on a beach, both dressed in white, with a smiling Brittany showing off her new bling after her beau popped the question during a trip to Hamilton Island.

Brittany captioned her post with, “In any lifetime it’s a YES! Just two people loving each other for the rest of our lives.”

On her Instagram Story, she added that “forever looks pretty darn spectacular.” 

Friends and fans celebrate Brittany Hockley and Ben Siegrist’s engagement news

Many were quick to flood the comments with congratulations upon hearing the news.

Laura Byrne, Brittany’s pal and co-host of the Life Uncut podcast and radio show The Pick Up, couldn’t contain her excitement: “I’M LEAKING!!!! Could not be happier for this. You deserve it all.”

Laura’s husband, Matty J, echoed the sentiment with a heartfelt “WE LOVE LOVE !!!!” Meanwhile, radio co-host Mitch Churi humorously added, “STOP IT MY BFF IS GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And so is @brittany_hockley !!”

How did Brittany and Ben meet?

Brittany and Ben’s love story began in November 2022 when they matched on the celebrity dating app, Raya.

Ben, a Swiss goalkeeper, was in Sydney for a match against Sydney FC, and the two hit it off immediately. Their long-distance relationship blossomed, leading to this magical engagement.

Though they’ve spent a lot of time apart due to Ben’s football career with Celtic FC in Scotland, Brittany and Ben have been making it work.

Brittany opened up about her fertility struggle on I’m A Celeb

In the most recent season of the reality series, Brittany divulged that she’s already taken measures towards having kids with Ben.

“Different people’s fertility deteriorates at different rates,” she said at the time, adding, “Mine’s not great.”

“I froze some eggs to be safe, then when Ben and I met and decided we wanted to be together with what we knew we thought we’d have a better chance at having kids if we froze some embryos.”

Brittany shared that their embryo journey was a success, and opened up about the legalities behind it.

“I’m very happy to say we got three embryos, so it’s a weight off my shoulder in a sense, but it’s also something I think about all the time,” she said.

“It is both of ours obviously, it’s made. So, you have to both sign to use it, and you have to sign off if one of you dies what you want if you die are you happy for them to use it without you.

“Nothing is a guarantee in life. It’s one of those things where I think I talk myself out of whether I want kids, and I think that’s because I know I might not be able to. I feel like I just need to do it deal with it and figure it out.”

Abbie Chatfield reveals which famous ex-boyfriend is the subject of her brutal Insta snub

by Indi Brummelen

Abbie Chatfield has clarified which of her famous exes her most recent Instagram snub is about and it’s not who you’d expect!

Or is it?

The FBOY Island Australia host dropped a not-so-subtle jab at a former flame in a recent Instagram Story after confirming her “really healthy relationship” with Peking Duk musician Adam Hyde.

Taking to the ‘gram, Abbie shared a clip of herself with the caption: “When the guy you’re dating is actually talented and you don’t have to pretend to like his art xx.”

Before hard-launching her romance with Adam — who also performs solo under the stage name Keli Holiday – the 28-year-old most notably dated Konrad Bien-Stephen, Todd King, and Matt Agnew.

But Abbie’s post begs the question: which allegedly untalented ex could she be referring to?

Under an Instagram post by Pedestrian.TV about her cheeky Story, The Bachelor 2019 breakout star settled speculation once and for all.

“It’s all of them,” she penned. And well-played!

Abbie Chatfield dishes on whether she and Adam Hyde are monogamous

Abbie’s diss comes after she revealed during a recent episode of her podcast, It’s A Lot, that she and Adam are in a monogamous relationship.

The revelation came about during a Q&A episode featuring her boyfriend, during which she admitted she had concerns that Adam would want to be “open” as he’d been in previous relationships, and also given his career as a touring DJ.

However, when she expressed she wanted to be “monogamous”, Adam was all for it.

“We’ll talk about [being open] down the line,” Abbie said, with Adam adding that they’re “more monogamous than we originally thought”.

“But who’s to say, we’re open to having that conversation down the line,” he admitted.

“We are the Baldwins, and we’re going to TLC! God help you all.”

Why ‘The Boys’ is wrapping up with season 5

by Jessica Lynch

Buckle up, fans of The Boys! The wild ride of our favourite anti-superhero series is coming to a close. Eric Kripke, the mastermind behind the show, has officially announced that Season 5 will be the grand finale.

Just before the highly anticipated premiere of Season 4 on 13 June on Prime Video, Kripke took to social media, teasing fans with a final script page that cheekily read, “SEE YOU FOR OUR FINAL SEASON, MOTHERF***ERS!”

Why are The Boys calling it quits now?

Kripke has always had a clear vision for the series’ endpoint.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he shared, “From the very beginning, I wanted to wrap it out around season five. And then I would say plans really solidified that we were going to actually do it years ago.”

For Kripke, five seasons felt like the perfect length to tell the complex story of The Boys.

He added, “It might have been because I was trained as a TV writer and there were five acts. It gives you enough time to get to know the characters… It’s about the characters and then you kick off into a climax.”

The future of The Boys universe

Though The Boys is ending, its universe is far from over.

Kripke revealed that spinoff shows like Gen V and the animated anthology Diabolical will keep the spirit of The Boys alive. He expressed his hopes for the franchise, saying, “Look, I love this universe and this is the best job I’ve ever had; so, hopefully Gen V will continue.”

Even with media companies tightening their budgets, The Boys remains a flagship series for Amazon, which gives it a certain level of freedom.

Kripke noted, “We get a level of freedom that it’ll be hard to repeat anywhere. That said, we have budget battles. But, ultimately, we figure out a way.”

What’s next in Season 4?

As we gear up for Season 4, which premieres on 13 June on Prime Video, the stakes are higher than ever.

Victoria Neuman is inching closer to the Oval Office, with Homelander tightening his grip on power. Butcher, on borrowed time, must rally his fractured team to save the world.

The series continues to offer a fresh and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes abuse their powers. Intent on stopping the corrupt ‘supes’, The Boys expose the dark secrets of The Seven and the Vought conglomerate that manages them.

Season 4 is shaping up to be one hell of a ride, and we can’t wait to see how the saga unfolds. So, make sure to catch it on Prime Video and prepare for one last epic showdown in Season 5.

Check out the most recent trailer for The Boys below.

You can stream The Boys season 4 from June 13 on Prime Video.

“When JC bangs the table, say superb AND fantastique in a single judging,” one viewer added.

“Andy [Allen] struggles with something being spicy,” another suggested, before others piped up with common phrases from the judges.
