Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel

Today we’re celebrating incredible women, from Cynthia protecting Ariana Grande at a film premiere to Jade Henderson smashing the pull-up world record and 80-year-old Natalie Grabow conquering the Ironman. We’re also checking out Saacha Neilson’s genius Living Room Cafe, bringing neighbours together over baked goods and a bit of chat. Health alert for anyone who rocked out at the Oasis gig in Sydney, keep an eye out for measles symptoms. Plus, we’ve got New Music Friday, cheesy garlic bread disasters, royal photo drama, Billie calling out Elon, Taylor Swift’s docuseries and Lady Gaga spilling the real behind-the-scenes of A Star Is Born.

Turns out if you were at the Oasis gig in Sydney last weekend and now you’ve got a fever or itchy eyeballs, it might not just be the post concert comedown.

Renee Rapp has the internet losing it after Ziwe asked her what counts as an “oldie” and her answer might make you feel ancient. We dive into the dark, slightly horrifying origins of the “pinky promise,” then crank things up with 374 bagpipers rocking out to AC/DC at Fed Square. Plus, Leo shares his holy favourite films, Adele’s going Hollywood, and Elton John’s throwing tantrums again. And to top it off, our very own Mel Tracina fresh from Big Brother steps in for a wild round of Quick Draw with Joel!

Nova’s own Mel Tracina ...now the brand-new host of Big Brother on Channel 10 joins us live for a round of Quick Draw! She might be running the Big Brother house, but can she handle Joel’s chaos in the studio? Let’s just say, things get competitive fast.

Joel’s been counting down to this moment like it’s Christmas morning... the Wicked: For Good premiere. He was so nervous he had to do a “nervous wee,” then went full chaos by crushing his wine glass mid-movie. There were tears (mainly from Jack), a few Arianas in the loo, and a whole lot of green-themed fashion choices. But does the self-proclaimed biggest Wicked fan on earth actually think the movie lives up to the hype?
