On the show today…
Australian Idol is back on our screens this week after a decade-long break, with a new judging panel that includes Kyle Sandilands, Meghan Trainor, Harry Connick Jr, and Amy Shark. There has already been some backlash to the new season that we need to discuss.
And Ashton Kutcher is Esquire’s new cover star, featuring one of the most in-depth interviews he’s given in decades. There a two big takeaways from the interview, including his stance on a co-star’s legal battles and the moment Hollywood turned on him.
Plus, Jesinta Franklin’s announcement that she looking to start a subscription section to her Instagram account, but donate the profits to charity, has kicked off an unexpected storm of comments regarding how celebrities and influencers alike monetize their platforms. In the end, it all boils down to the stark reminder that our relationship with celebrities is based on a transactional relationship.
