On today's show, we're diving deep into Netflix's gripping new Australian series Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the infamous story of wellness scammer Belle Gibson. From Kaitlyn Dever's eerily perfect Australian accent to the fascinating creative liberties taken with the real story, there are so many layers to unpack in this six-part drama that has everyone talking. We've broken down how the show manages to turn this well-known Australian scandal into a compelling commentary on the early days of Instagram and the dark side of the wellness industry. Plus, we need to discuss the controversial portrayal of wellness warrior Jess Ainscough through the fictional character of Milla Blake.

We need to talk about the new royal book that's about to drop, because it incudes revelations about Prince William's bath time and Meghan Markle's early palace days. Plus, the internet is losing it over Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's supposed friendship breakdown, and we need to unpack why everyone thinks these besties are on the outs.

And we absolutely have to discuss Kanye West's concerning Super Bowl weekend meltdown that ended with him vanishing from social media (again). From his attacks on Taylor Swift to some other seriously offensive statements, this is more than just another Kanye moment.
