    Ed Sheeran’s Disastrous Tour & The Return Of That Celebrity Sex Rumour

    Ed Sheeran walked onto a stadium stage in Philadelphia with no band, no support acts and a scripted statement. We unpack the fallout between Ed Sheeran, Macklemore and a stadium owner, and discuss whether it’s possible for a celebrity to be apolitical in 2026.Plus, the NRL grand final has no pre-match entertainment this year, reportedly because Tones and I refused to sing Dance Monkey. There’s irony in the song being called Dance Monkey... Also, Cue and Veronika Maine have collapsed. Mia wants to know whether it's bad business or whether getting dressed has fundamentally changed. And there's a brand new 12-part podcast about the Richard Gere gerbil rumour. Why do some celebrity urban legends refuse to die?

    SUBS: Meghan’s ‘Hi Moms’ & Harry’s Favourite Uncle Enters The Chat

    Princess Diana’s brother Earl Charles Spencer has a brand new ‘tell-all’ book, and it's cracked open one of the royal family's oldest whispers; the valet rumour Diana told her friends about, decades before anyone would say it publicly. Holly Wainwright unpacks why Earl Spencer chose now to drop the tea, and why he says he's still holding plenty back. Plus, Mia Freedman and Amelia Lester test the theory doing the rounds: if the public eventually forgave Charles and Camilla, could Harry and Meghan get the same redemption arc? We also chat about the school mums (or moms if you’re Meghan) WhatsApp leak and what we'd do faced with that temptation. Plus, the four-car convoy now at the centre of Harry's security stoush with the Palace.

The movie about long-term relationships that you might have to watch alone. Also, Patrick Clancy has sat down for a 60 Minutes interview with his new wife. Why would he do that? Plus, over the weekend, internet sleuths stumbled on what they think is a very famous man's Instagram account and he appears to be trolling his equally-famous exes.Also, it's been a horror few days of family violence across Australia.

    SUBS: The Story That Changed Our Mind About Commercial Surrogacy

    Is it ever okay to pay someone to have your baby? Just a few days ago the Australian Law Reform Commission finally submitted the report it’s been working on for the past two years after it was asked to look at surrogacy in Australia.

Today's conversation about commercial surrogacy might have you entering the chat with a certain opinion but leaving with a different one.
