1. Oh. There are whispers that I’m a Celebrity‘s Charlotte Crosby and Ryan Gallagher are faking their love.
Within the first 24 hours of meeting, Charlotte Crosby and Ryan Gallagher were in a budding romance on Channel 10’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
“He’s really good looking, he’s really handsome. His legs are a bit paler than the rest of his body [and] that kind of freaks us out but other than that, he gives us a bit of a tingle, you know?” Charlotte told the camera.
The former Geordie Shore star and former Married at First Sight contestant have both admitted they have a “crush” on each other, and on Thursday night, the two reality TV stars shared their first kiss.
However, despite their seemingly authentic romance, some viewers are accusing the couple of faking it for the cameras, calling it a “showmance.”
Star and Schwandt began dating after meeting on Instagram.
Despite being camera shy, Schwandt appeared in a number of videos on Star's YouTube channel, which has over 17 million subscribers.
5. "After watching the trailer I think we can agree Gwyneth Paltrow's Netflix show The Goop Lab shouldn't exist."
It’s not something I’d want mentioned on my tombstone, but I often find myself defending a woman by the name of Gwyneth Paltrow.
But when I heard that Netflix had greenlit a series based on her successful yet controversial company Goop, there was not a word of defence I could muster up, because if there is anything our world is not crying out for right now, it’s another platform to promote dangerous health practices and pseudoscience.
The six-part series, entitled The Goop Lab with Gwyneth Paltrow, will premiere on January 24 and in the first trailer for the show both Paltrow and Goop’s chief content officer Elise Loehnen wax lyrical about the boundary-pushing nature of their new health-focused series.
In the words of Netflix, the series is all about “leading with curiosity and keeping it real, Gwyneth Paltrow and her Goop team look at psychedelics, energy work and other challenging wellness topics.”
“What we try to do at Goop is explore ideas that may seem out there or too scary,” Loehnen said in the trailer, while the rest of the clip goes on to show the team talking to “experts” and trialling everything from exorcisms to psychic mediums. In one frame, using psychedelics is even promised to make you feel as if you’ve gone through “years of therapy in about five hours”.
Firstly, it’s problematic to see the word ‘lab’ used in the title of the series since it alludes to a sanctioned medical component of the show which does not appear to exist.
But perhaps most alarming of all is that Goop’s medical advice, which in the past has been proven to be misleading and dangerous, appears here under a glitzy guise of feminist empowerment and reinvention, with Paltrow enthusing to the audience about how you only get to live once.
