Madonna is Headlining Glastonbury Whether You Like It or Not

Jamie East and Alice Brine are back in the Celebrity Trenches, unpacking another week of pop culture chaos. We’re all missing Glastonbury atm - but Jamie makes a bold prediction about Glasto 2027 claiming he's worked out who’s gonna be headlining the Pyramid Stage! As it’s officially gig season, we get the latest on the Bad Bunny gigs in London. Plus, Alice drops a bombshell on how to pronounce his name! Do artists always manage to gather the balance right between showcasing their new tunes versus playing the hits?! Jamie and Alice have very different opinions on this. The pair revisit Becky Hill's now-viral "non-quite-an-apology" video after her controversial TNSMT Festival set, debating whether the backlash was deserved or if festival crowds simply need to lower their expectations. Jamie looks back at music industry mogul Clive Davis, who passed away last week. He discovered Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys, & Jamie has a *wild* story about Clive’s most famous protege, Whitney Houston. And there’s more speculation about Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s wedding - is it *really* happening at Madison Square Garden? The plot thickens!

The Lee Andrews saga gets even weirder - mainly as Jamie attempts a glow-up to look like Lee!

Is Taylor Swift good at being rich?

Jamie East and Alice Brine are back with another Weekly Dispatch, diving headfirst into the weirdest corners of celebrity culture. This week we unpack the New York Knicks' NBA win - with the real action taking place courtside, on celeb row, where Taylor Swift, Timothée Chalamet, Sydney Sweeney and a host of A-listers turned basketball into the hottest ticket in town. Jamie wonders which British sporting event is the equivalent of the NBA Finals, for sheer celeb star power? And how come the basketball finals are best of seven?! We celebrate Taylor Swift's induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and look at what effect Tay-Tay has had on the world of showbiz. But has Taylor had “a profound effect on the world”?! Jamie & Alice have their take! What do you think? Alice discovers a newfound passion for football thanks to New Zealand's most unexpectedly viral player Jamie is excited about going to see Harry Styles at Wembley this weekend, but possibly even more excited once Alice tells him who the support act is.. (clue: “let’s go girls..!”). The guys dissect the latest statements from David Harbour on Lily Allen’s album ‘West End Girl’ as he breaks his silence on that topic!
