It’s no secret that Hollywould Star has been a front-runner on RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under season two.
Before episode seven, she’d never been in a Lip Sync Of Your Life, and she’d won on two challenges. So, when she was eliminated after falling into the bottom two with Gabriella Labucci it came as somewhat of a shock, especially to her.
During an interview with Chattr, the drag queen said that the head judge RuPaul has a soft spot for Gabriella Labucci.

“RuPaul loves Gabriella Labucci,” she said. “I’m not gonna lie and say that she hasn’t scraped through in some challenges and that several of her performances haven’t really been the best or at the same level as everyone else.”
“So I was quite shocked that she was pulled through, especially with my track record and what I brought to the competition,” she added.

Hollywould thought she was going to win RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under
Hollywould revealed that she thought she had the competition in the bag, so she was surprised that she was eliminated after her impressive Lip Sync Of Your Life performance.
“It was an out-of-body experience to hear that I was sent home,” she said.
“I was very shocked [to be eliminated]. Everyone saw my track record, I won two episodes and I was never at the bottom. I felt that I showed myself very well and I felt that I slayed the last lip sync as well.

“In that moment, I just still had to hold my professionalism and be proud of what I did on the show. I got a lot of airtime and sometimes it’s not all about winning. So I feel just grateful that I made it to the top four.”

Buckle up, b**ches! It’s time to head back to Orange County with the season two cast of Netflix’s hit reality series, Selling the OC.
To recap, season one ended with Alexandra Jarvis and Alexandra Rose having a major fight with KaylaCardona, Polly Brindle and Alexandra Hall after they claimed Cardona and Hall had been inappropriate with Tyler Stanaland while he was still married to Pitch Perfect’sBrittany Snow.
As we all know, Snow and Stanaland parted ways in 2022, just months after the show aired, no doubt the events that played out on screen had a major effect on their relationship.
Alexandra Hall, Tyler Stanaland, Lauren Shortt and Sean Palmieri. Netflix
Now, in the second instalment, once again, reputations, romances and relationships are on the line at The Oppenheim Group.
Stanaland is single, the Alexandras still hate each other, Cardona has adopted some serious balls of steel plus a whole other Alexandra has joined the fold! These young and hungry agents will risk everything while navigating a hot real estate market and even hotter rumours.
If you’re frothing on the drama (and believe us, you’ll be screaming ‘hook it to our veins’ after bingeing all eight eps), you’re going to want to follow it in real-time.
Here’s where to follow the cast of Selling the OC on Instagram.
In season one of Selling The OC, Tyler Stanaland (you know, Brittany Snow’s ex) and Alex Hall repeatedly denied that there was anything going on between them.
However, regardless of their pleas, it was clear to viewers that there was *something* there.
So, now that Tyler and Brittany’s divorce is official, did the two reality stars end up getting together?
Selling The OC. Netflix.
Where was their relationship at when season one ended?
It’s been over a year since Selling The OC season one was released, so if you’re having a bit of trouble remembering *exactly* what was going on between Alex and Tyler, here’s a refresher.
Tyler opened up about his separation from Brittany in season one, and he also addressed on camera that his co-star Kayla Cordona tried to kiss him twice.
While Alex and Tyler weren’t romantically involved on camera in the first season, they were suspiciously close in a number of scenes. There was one particular point where Alex say on Tyler’s lap and gave him her version of a ‘wet willy’.
Selling The OC. Netflix.
Why are there rumours surrounding Alex and Tyler dating?
Tyler and Alex were pictured getting dinner together on the same day that Tyler and Brittany publicly announced that they were intending to get divorced.
“I think people really want to hold onto that idea that there’s something there between Tyler and I. I mean, at this point, we’re just friends, so there’s nothing more to it,” Tyler told People at the time.
Months later, Tyler and Alex went on a holiday to Dubai and posed for photos together at Nobu Dubai at Atlantis The Palm on Jan. 20, which was just one day after Brittany officially filed for divorce.
In a promo clip for the new season of Selling The OC, their co-star Brandi Marshall spoke about the rumours surrounding a relationship between Alex and Tyler.
Selling The OC. Netflix.
“Polly was basically saying if you and Alex were in a relationship she would be fine with it, and I said I disagree,” Brandi told Tyler. “I don’t think that’s right because you’re going through a public divorce. Alex should not be anywhere attached to it. Your friendship can sometimes look too friendly.”
Tyler didn’t exactly deny the allegations in response.
“You don’t know where I’m at in my life. You don’t know my timeline. You don’t know my relational timeline,” he said.
Are Tyler and Alex together now?
You’ll just have to watch Selling The OC season two to find out!
Selling The OC season two airs on Netflix on September 8.
Reality TV generally goes hand and hand with drama, but some fans of The Block have stopped watching the current season due to the extreme levels of “toxic behaviour”.
Nine’s Head of Content, Production and Development, Adrian Swift even teased that The Block 2023 would have more drama than the controversial reality dating show MAFS.
“The MAFS dinner parties are nothing compared to this season of The Block,” he said at the launch of the series’ 19th season.
“It’s not like Lego Masters because none of their judges cry. And it’s not like 60 Minutes because it never runs to time. But, this season is very much like MAFS. You’ll see what these crazy kids get up to,” he added.
What are fans saying about the ‘toxic behaviour’ on The Block?
A thread on The Blocksub-Reddit has been littered with comments by fans saying that they’ve decided to stop watching this year’s season because of the scandals that have been playing out episode after episode.
“They’ve taken it too far with the MAFS-style drama. I’m SO SICK of full-grown adult bullies being given a platform and rewarded for being nasty!” One person wrote.
“Channel 9 deliberately cast these types of people every season, so any positive and uplifting stuff is heavily overshadowed by nasty asses desperate to play up the villain edit for more air time.”
The Block. Nine.
Another person commented, “Bitchiness and toxicity is next level this season… I need to shower after each episode … And it’s not because of the moss!”
“I’ve given up watching the weekday episodes and only watch the reveals. The weekday episodes are just so much b***hing and moaning, backstabbing, and confrontations. Not a fan,” a third penned.
Another user stated that they’ve completely boycotted The Block because of the scandals.
“Honestly decided today to stop watching this season, only seeing online the articles with pictures of the revealed rooms. Leah is wild to me, have cut people from my life toxic like that, no need to see the same behaviors on a tv show.”
However, while many people aren’t loving the cattiness of this year’s The Block, there’s some who are living for the drama.
“F*****g looooove this drama. Less furnishing, more fighting plz,” a user tweeted.
Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones team up to battle corporate corruption in the new trailer for Prime Video’s The Burial.
The blockbuster is based on true events which were chronicled in a 1999 The New Yorker article by Jonathan Harr and follows a legal case between a massive corporation and a funeral business.
“When a handshake deal goes sour, funeral homeowner Jeremiah O’Keefe (Jones) enlists charismatic, smooth-talking attorney Willie E. Gary (Foxx) to save his family business,” the official synopsis for the movie reads.

“Tempers flare and laughter ensues as the unlikely pair bond while exposing corporate corruption and racial injustice in this inspirational, triumphant story,” it continues.

In an interview with People, which was completed prior to when the SAG-AFTRA strike began in July, the award-winning actors praised each other’s performances.
“I had a lot of fun working with Jamie,” Jones said. “He’s fun to be around, and every work day was highly energized. We did a lot of laughing and some pretty good work got done, too.”

“When the artistic stars line up and certain people step into a role, it usually turns out really, really good,” Foxx added before mentioning commending Jone’s performance. “He’s so special for the part.”

It’s episode three of My Kitchen Rules 2023 and time for NSW’s identical twins Radha and Prabha to serve up some spicy Indian food from the heart.
Their menu was a love letter to their family – their mum, who taught them how to cook, and their late father, whose memory they hoped to honour. But before they could cook, they had an important decision looming over them:
“Tonight’s menu is going to be spicy. Really spicy. We know that there are guest teams there that don’t like too much heat and that’s playing at the back of our mind, like, do we dumb it down for them?” they said.
Radha and Prabha. Seven
Their Instant Restaurant, Radha and Prabha’s Royal Dhaba was inspired by Indian street food restaurants. The twins were determined to deliver the dishes exactly how they would eat them at home, with the same level of heat, despite some of the guests, including Coco, being unable to handle spicy food.

The drama
Meanwhile, over at the table, Marcus asked the other guest teams for honest feedback on his Instant Restaurant. As per usual, Claudean doesn’t hold back, leaving Sonia in tears.
While most of the guest teams are looking forward to an authentic Indian curry, Coco and Pearls are not, saying that the restaurants should cater to their guest’s needs. Claudean disagrees, telling Coco that she should respect the elders.
In addition to this, being the next to cook, Coco decides that she and Pearls would receive tens across the board with Pearls saying: “Now that’s a lot of work for me to do”.
The two then have a full-blown argument at the table which is both awkward and amazing.
My Kitchen Rules judge Colin Fassnidge has revealed the real reason he cried during Radha and Prahba’s restaurant and it was all to do with Jock Zonfrillo.
During the September 6 episode, Fassnidge was brought to tears when the identical twins told the judges that the Indian dish was dedicated to their father who had passed away when they were two.
“Me and Frenchy [ManuFeildel] were quite upset and quite shocked. We were in our campervan and we were talking about ‘if you died tomorrow, what would your kid say about you?'” He continued.
“We were having this conversation between us and we were both telling each other we’re really good dads. And we asked, ‘What legacy would you have left behind?'”
Fassnidge explained that Radha and Prabha’s emotional tribute to their father really tugged at his heartstrings.
“They dropped that bombshell and I was like, ‘Oh my god!’ We were all pretty emotional.”
Prabha and Radha. MKR.
“I was trying not to cry. I was telling myself, don’t cry on TV. It was a lot of heart and there’s a lot of love in our industry.”
“They were telling the story about their dad, and we all need to think about our own kids and our own families or whatever. Because you know, we’re not gonna be here forever.
It’s episode 20 of The Block and the pressure is building given that only three days are left until the Living and Dining Room reveal.
Over in Kristy and Brett’s house, Brett has put on an additional apprentice, telling his builder that he doesn’t want to be a labourer. This is concerning for a few reasons, because mate, you’re on The Block. Unsurprisingly, his builder is a bit miffed…and so are we.
Adding to the drama, the same Blockheads are continuing to restump their home, now fearing they don’t have the budget to achieve this while Eliza and Liberty are also in a “world of pain” because of the amount of painting they need to get done.
Liberty. Nine
Meanwhile, Steph and Gian are bickering and despite the issues at her own place, Kristy gets involved telling Steph that she’s too hard on her husband. Kristy then reports the snafu to Leah, and they continue to gossip about their arch-nemesis behind her back.
Leah suspects that Steph is playing with her by trying to become best friends with Kristy, but this is ridiculous, Steph doesn’t want to be friends with either of them.
“I’m probably closest with her, but she’s not closest with me,” Kristy says.
Talking to Gian about it, Steph is in tears because she’s an architect and just wants to build a goddamn house. Gian says he’s 100 per cent behind his wife and even though they bicker, their communication style is between them and not up to other people.
Steph and Kristy. Nine
Once again, we’re back on the “how will Kyle and Leslie fit the Christian Cole table into their home”, this time with Foremen Keith and Dan noticing the spacing issue.
By the end of the night, Eliza and Liberty, Steph and Gian and Kyle and Leslie are now hanging out, while Leah and Ash and Kristy and Brett keep to themselves. The divide continues…

Prime Video’s UK Original thriller Wilderness has all the trappings of an addictive psychological TV series and we now have a trailer – and a release date – for your next binge sesh.
Like one of the most successful productions of its genre, Gone Girl, Wilderness is also based on a popular novel and has some big names on the cast, including Ashley Benson.
Wilderness. Prime Video.
Plus, it’s plain to see that Wilderness hasn’t skimped when it comes to the production side of things. The series is set to generate some serious wanderlust for viewers, with scenes set in Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Las Vegas and New York.
“We were so lucky to film in some incredible locations for the series,” said Oliver Jackson-Cohen who plays the lead male character Will.
“Being surrounded by the mountains in Whistler, stood in the middle of the Grand Canyon desert, or the overwhelming feeling of the Las Vegas strip at night, helped to create such a strong atmosphere while filming.”
Wilderness. Prime Video.
What is Wilderness about?
British couple Liv (Jenna Coleman) and Will appear to have the perfect life with a solid marriage and glamorous new life in New York.
However, everything changes when Liv discovers that her husband has been having an affair.
In an effort to win her back, Will organises Liv’s dream American road trip, and she agrees to join him and let bygones be bygones. But, while Will hopes to reconcile, Liv has revenge on her mind, particularly in a landscape where accidents are common.
Wilderness. Prime Video.
Coleman describes the series as “a darkly twisted thriller exploring a marriage gone wrong, which shifts into a cat-and-mouse psychological chess game between husband and wife.
“A drama about co-dependency and freedom. Boundaries and blurred edges. Revenge and sanity, or the lack thereof. Ultimately Liv’s tale is one of survival – it becomes a very primal, visceral and feminine tale of coming into her own.”
Wilderness. Prime Video.
Who’s in Wilderness?
Coleman, Jackson-Cohen and Benson make up three of the main characters in the series. The cast also includes Eric Balfour, Morgana Van Peebles, Claire Rushbrook, Talia Balsam, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Jonathan Keltz.

We’ve been spoiled with a super long trailer for Below Deck Med season eight, and amongst the chaos are more than a few familiar faces.
BDM fans will likely recognise Tumi Mhlongo, Natalya Scudder and Kyle Viljoen, who’ve all been former Below Deck stew, as well as Captain Sandy Yawn.
During the three-and-a-half-minute sneak peek trailer chief Stew Tumi declares that she’s “never come across a crew that’s this crazy”, adding that she doesn’t think she ever will.
Controversial stew Natalya can be seen fighting with both Tumi, and her co-worker and (perhaps former?) friend Kyle.

“Kyle, you are a horrible human,” Natalya can be seen telling him in one clip.
Elsewhere in the indulgently long trailer, Luka Brunton, who joined Below Deck Down Underseason two when Adam Kodra was fired, can be seen cosying up to another stew named Jessika.
“Well me and Luke are just friends. You don’t think so? Fine, we’re f**k buddies, is that what you want to hear?” Jessika says.

The Masked Singer Australia 2023’s Fawn has undoubtedly got the x-factor with her rendition of Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls. But who’s behind the seductive performance?
Clues
September 6
Former Spice Girl Mel B barely missed a beat before making a confident prediction about who she believed was behind Fawn’s cute mask.
“You know who I think it is?” She asked the other panellists, before stating: “Jackie O“.
“Goodness me, this is huge,” Dave Hughes responded.
If Mel B’s guess is right, then Hughey’s response would be on the money too, considering that Jackie O was a panellist on the show for three seasons.

Despite not being matched by the experts on MAFS 2023, Duncan James and Evelyn Ellis are expected to be one of the most financially successful couples to ever come out of the experiment.
The couple, who were matched with different people on the show but got together after filming wrapped, have already worked with several big brands including L’Oréal, Amazon, Pretty Little Thing, Lipsy London and Langham Sydney.
An industry insider has said there are likely many lucrative deals coming their way as long as they stay together.
“Their appeal to high-end brands is them as couple and staying together. If they split, their marketability will drop substantially and there’ll be less offers on the table. It’s harsh, but true,” the media source told Yahoo Lifestyle.
The insider believes that Duncan and Evelyn can be as successful as other MAFS alum like Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant, and Martha Kalifatidis and Micheal Brunelli, who are still together and steadily grown their brands as couples.
They estimated that the 2023 MAFS couple should be able to crack the $1 million mark over 24 months by teaming up on deals and presenting themselves as a happy entity.
Duncan was an OG groom on MAFS 2023 and was paired up with Alyssa Barmonde. While the pair started off strong, their relationship crumbled as time went on, and Duncan told Alyssa he didn’t want to continue their relationship at Final Vows.
Meanwhile, Evelyn entered the experiment as an intruder and was matched with Rupert Bugden. They also made it to Final Vows, but both decided it was best to part ways.
Evelyn and Duncan officially revealed that they were dating in an interview shared by 9Now in May.
‘We are in a relationship. This is [our] hard launch,’ Evelyn said in the video.
In August, the happy couple shared that they’d moved in together while plugging a removalist company in the caption.

Meanwhile, Christian has already had enough of Claudean and confronts her. She basically says his “wankery” talking pisses her off but backtracks and compliments the young generation at the table and their enthusiasm for food. LOL.
It’s episode two of Shark Tank Australia 2023 and tonight the youngest-ever entrepreneur faces the Sharks.
Pitch #1 – Glossy Boys (Lucas Lane, 13 and mum Brianna)
The Product
Glossy Boys is a 3-in-1 gel nail polish pen. While regular nail polish will air dry, it often needs a base coat and a top coat and will chip and peel quicker than the brand. Regular nail polish, for an active person, will last 1-2 days without being wrecked; however, Glossy Boys will last up to two weeks.
The “Everything Kit” retails at $49.95.

It’s episode 19 of The Block 2023 and Foreman Keith is sick of everyone’s sh**t. Given that there’s practically an entire house still left to build, we feel very sorry for him.
Further to this, he feels like he has been spoon-feeding the Blockheads and their builders and makes his feelings known as he walks around the building site. Keith is not happy and somebody needs to get the man a McCafe coffee, stat!
“Dan and myself are putting in every piece for every contestant. It’s not the way we do it,” he tells Leah, before later saying to Steph: “We’re not going to keep holding your hands through every piece of this build.”

Meanwhile, Kyle and Leslie are really struggling with their layout after their decision to include a $16,000 dining table designed by Christian Cole while Kristy and Leah go off to the shops together, holding hands and skipping…
They are off to purchase a couch for Kristy’s home that Steph wanted, which is actually a bit s**t on their part. She even goes as far as cancelling another piece she has ordered, in order to secure the ~bEigE~ piece of furniture. Egged on by Leah, this show is truly turning into a series of Mean Girls.

The weekly BOB (Best on Block) award is then given to Leah and Ash, who received $10,000 towards their budget.
Then, it’s challenge day, and the contestants head to Footscray in Melbourne to compete in a metalwork blacksmith challenge. Thankfully, this is a skill that they can actually use, unlike the cooked breakdancing challenge from episode 16!
Eliza and Liberty. Nine
Even with work to be done, Kristy continues her vendetta against Steph, this time telling her off for the way she speaks to Gian before Leah and Ash are once again named the winners and bank another $5,000.
And just like the previous day, Eliza and Liberty can’t help but comment on how Leah and Ash suck at winning…
The divide is well and truly on, on The Block.

If you’re tuning in to My Kitchen Rules 2023 for the drama, then it’s hard not to appreciate Claudean and Anthony.
The fiery couple are sure to divide audiences as they bicker their way through challenges and dinner services.
Claudean on MKR. Seven.
Despite their differences, Claudean and Anthony complement each other well. Claudean is outspoken, assertive, and resilient, while Anthony is warm, friendly, patient, and composed.
Together, they manage a food market stall where they offer traditional Italian dishes, sauces, and desserts. When Anthony is not assisting Claudean with food preparation, deliveries, and customer service, he runs his floor sanding business.
MKR airs on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
