On the show today…

The first teaser trailer and release date for the highly anticipated new series The Idol, starring Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Lily-Rose Depp have been released, but prior to this the series was already making headlines.

And Rachel McAdams has given a new interview detailing the biggest movie roles she has ever turned down, why she once walked off a photoshoot, and her need to leave the industry for over two years at the height of her fame. But all anyone wants to talk about is her armpits.

Plus, during one of the biggest years in her career, Megan Thee Stallion was shot by someone she considered a close friend and colleague. Instead of supporting her, some of music’s biggest names publicly mocked her and even write songs about her pain. This week she has written a brutally honest essay about exactly what happened to her and you need to be across this story.
