1. Oh. It looks like we already know who leaves The Bachelor this week.
Well.
It seems as though with each new season of The Bachelor, the spoilers fly more freely than the last.
The latest being at the hands of a contestant herself, who made a telling Instagram boo-boo that pretty much confirms she’s getting kicked out of the competition this week.
We’re talking about Rachael Arahill, both the woman who showed up to the competition in an actual wedding dress, and the contestant rumoured to have a “fling” with a producer, as reported yesterday.
Today, Rachael changed her Instagram profile picture from the Network-approved cocktail party photo of her posing rose-in-hand, to a photo of her in a bikini.
While this seems pretty minor, it could be a tell-tale sign she’s leaving the mansion, seeing as contestants are under strict rules with regards to their social media while they’re on the show.
The Spill is Mamamia’s pop culture and entertainment podcast. It’s snackable and perfect for your commute home. Get it in your ears below.
Each season, contestants must obtain pre-approval from Ten before posting anything to their pages or making a single change. They’re also barred from sharing content unrelated to the show.
So unless the bikini pic is from an upcoming single date with Matt, we suspect it’s a move to disassociate herself with the show now that she’s free from the mansion and has a bunch of new followers.
In all honesty, we’re not that surprised it’s Rachael heading home this week, but we do still have questions.
Namely: will the rumoured producer-contestant flirt sesh be played out on our screens?
We bloody hope so.
2. “I would do anything for her.” Kim Kardashian on why she owes her career to Paris Hilton.
Not a day goes by where our minds aren’t cast back to the iconic episode of The Simple Life featuring a shy 20-something Kim Kardashian.
And, well, this problematic conversation about travelling to India:
At the time we barely knew who she was, other than Paris’ sidekick and sometimes closet-organiser.
But now, the tables have turned – with Kim’s celebrity status surpassing Paris’.
Without Paris’ help, however, it might not have happened. And Kim is the first to admit it.
In a sneak peek for the new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the reality star and business mogul claimed she got her big break from Paris, who was her best friend in the early 2000s.
In the clip, Kim tells Khloe she would “do anything” for the hotel heiress after agreeing to star in her new music video for a song called Best Friend’s Ass, because of course it is.
“She literally gave me a career,” Kim, 38, said in the snippet.
“I totally acknowledge that.”
The pair have an on-off friendship after it was widely reported they fell out in 2011.
At the time, Kim told Harper’s Bazaar she and Paris “don’t really talk”.
“As I always say, everyone comes into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime,” she said. “There comes a point in life where you just grow apart and you realise you’re not as similar as you thought.”
We wonder if it had anything to do with this shade from Paris and Nicole Richie way back when:
3. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has married his long-time partner Lauren Hashian.
Dwayne Johnson has married his long-time partner Lauren Hashian, tying the knot in a glamorous ceremony in Hawaii.
Celebrities including Nick Jonas, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black shared their congratulations to the actor over Instagram, wishing him the best for his second marriage.
The Rock and his ex-wife Dany Garcia divorced in 2007 after 10 years of marriage and share an 18-year-old daughter.
Dwayne Johnson now shares two more daughters with his wife, Lauren Hashian, who are aged one and three years old.
4. We’re sorry to break it to you, but Catfish Australia has been cancelled.
Network 10 has axed Catfish Australia, which was set to premiere during Ten’s 2019 Pilot Week.
The show was to be hosted by former Australian Idol star, Casey Donovan, who herself has been a victim of catfishing, alongside The Feed’s Patrick Abboud.
But unfortunately, they “cast a line, but didn’t have the right bait to catch a catfish in time”.
Catfish has been largely successful in America where hosts help people confront their online romances that may or may not be under the guise of a fake profile, but it seems Australians weren’t as eager to come forward with their stories.
Don’t worry though, there will still be a stellar lineup of shows in Ten’s pilot week including Sydney’s Crazy Rich Asians, which is just what you may imagine it to be, I am… Roxy! which follows the busy life of Roxy Jacenko and My 80-year-old Housemate, which enters the lives of millennials who live with older Aussies and pay a cheap rent in exchange for their company.
5. Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian’s new fragrance looks like a vagina and we have questions.
Back in April, Kylie and Kim revealed on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that they would be releasing a scent collection, Kylie Jenner by KKW Fragrance.
We also got our first glimpse of the bottles, which were inspired by the product that kick-started Kylie’s journey to beauty billionaire – her infamous Lip Kits.
After much teasing, Kylie finally revealed the fruits of the collaboration on her Instagram stories last night, with multiple pictures and videos showing off the vessels in all their glory.
And, well, they remind us of something.
