What are the opening red‑carpet highlights and Emmy‑day preview?
You're listening to a Mamma Mia podcast.
Mm-hmm. Good morning, beautiful spillers. My name is Venisha Riswarren here with your morning entertainment headlines. Now, today is of course Emmy's Day, and the celebs will be taking the red carpet before the awards show commences. And don't you worry, we are going to be all over it here on the spill. So today's episode of The Spill is going to be all the best and worst from the red carpet, diving into all of that, any drama that takes place, and then tomorrow's episode, we will have have a full special diving into the awards ceremony. The triumphant victories, the snubs, any noteworthy moments. So if you listen today and tomorrow, which I hope you will, you're going to be absolutely across it. But first, let me catch you up on everything else going on in the celebrity world.
Okay, remember the Suntime musical Sunday in the Park with George and how there was meant to be a West End production featuring both Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey, but then they both pulled out weeks apart.
Why was the West End musical starring Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey cancelled?
First it was Ari who dropped out, then John Bailey who followed. Well, we had an episode on the spill where we discussed who might replace them after such a big casting promise, but now the production has been scrapped altogether. I suppose organizers must Have realized it would be hard to sell tickets now that the all-star cast is no longer in place. Honestly, I think it's the right choice because it would have been pretty hard to beat the promise of seeing Gelinda and Fiero reunited on stage. Now, if your feed is anything like mine right now, it is filled with news about Sydney Sweeney's latest ad and how everyone is reacting to it. Her latest escapade involves being in a sports betting ad, which features her in various states of undress, mostly nude, as she poses with sports equipment.
She plays mock tennis, baseball, and ice hockey, and also poses with footballs, basketballs, and a soccer ball. Mm.
Thinking of sports? Prove it. No big is.
How did Sydney Sweeney’s sports‑betting ad spark outrage among female athletes?
Just
for example. So they wanted a show. Sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports. Your takes on sports.
She says the word sport nine times and appears topless on a pool table saying, You can't trade this, I just look good here. Female athletes have reacted to this ad with a lot of anger, calling the campaign hyper-sexualized, including Aussie surfer Felicity Palmatia, who says the move is very damaging for female athletes, as well as young girls who are looking to get into sport. Ariane Titmus, former Aussie swimming champion and four-time Olympic gold medal winner, wrote, I can't describe how infuriated I feel when I watch this. Not only is it a kick in the face to every woman who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft, but also every woman who enjoys sports for what it really is: teamwork, friendship, dedication, excellence, unity.
How do we live in a world where monetizing a woman's body and sexualizing women's sport is still a thing? An American gymnast Gracie Kramer posted a highlight reel on Instagram, which now has more than a million likes. The caption reads, IDK what Sydney Sweeney was doing, but this is what a woman in sport looks like. Actress Hayden Panetier's cause of death has been revealed.
What new details emerged about Hayden Panettiere’s cause of death?
She is believed to have died after taking an oxycodone tablet laced with fentanyl. TMZ is reporting that law enforcement sources say Hayden had a long term drug dealer in LA who provided her with several black market prescription medications, and that she took some of them with her on her flight the day before she died. The investigation of her death is now cross country in both Los Angeles. Angeles and South Carolina where she was found. Toxicology reports are still pending and can take up to twelve weeks from death, but an autopsy previously found no signs of trauma that contributed to her death. Hayden died on August 16 after she was found unresponsive and in cardiac arrest. She was 36. If this story raised any issues for you, there are resources in our show notes.
Now stick around because up next I'm gonna tell you who just became the highest grossing actor of all time at the box office, and are we maybe going to get a third movie of an iconic franchise?
