On the show today...

The Sun has been made to publish findings around a column Jeremy Clarkson wrote about Meghan Markle, where he dreamed of seeing her stripped and marched through the streets. Here’s what you need to know.

And it seems that Blake Lively just can’t catch a break right now (except for that whole being a beautiful rich movie star thing…) with her latest business venture immediately being met with waves of intense criticism. But there are just a few things the outrage headlines are missing.

Plus, Barbie movie mania hit Australia hard in the last week with the movie’s director and cast on our shores to promote what’s shaping up to be this year’s most anticipated movie. But when it comes to Margot Robbie’s role in the promotion, and how the movie’s message has been flipped, we need to talk about what’s really powering this machine. And since we were on the frontlines of the Barbie Australian press tour, we can tell you exactly what we saw.
