Welcome to the Cancelled courtroom Drew Barrymore, it's nice to meet you. Why are you fondling my hand? Drew is an American actress and producer, who started her career as a baby, before going on to star in The Wedding Singer, Charlie's Angels and Fifty First Dates.
Drew's very early relationship with acting and fame has shaped her into an overly honest and intense person. She invites the big celebrities onto her self-titled talk show and we all squirm while watching her interact.
We're investigating the serious stuff today, like is she a scab? Does she know what personal space is? And why do you make us feel so weird? We also address Drew's awkward role in the writers strike and that time she almost ruined Kamala Harris' presidential election campaign before it even started.

Fresh off her first Grammy win, it's time for Miley Cyrus to face the Cancelled courtroom.
The Flowers singer has grown up right in front of our eyes, and while she has had the best of both worlds - Miley has certainly faced her fair share of controversy.
From that weird tongue thing to taking a wrecking ball to her pledge for a sober life, the star certainly can't be tamed.
But, can she stop? Or will she just party in the USA? (We may have over done it with that one)

There aren't many Australian couples as loved as Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, but how much do you remember about their love story?
This week, Holly takes us back to 2007, as Sydney geared up to host its own version of a royal wedding.
We hear about the ups and downs of Keith and Nic's relationship, as well as how the world and the media reacted. And we also learn that Shannen is a country music fan, which is a fact none of us saw coming.
It's one story, two generations and so much WTF!?

In 1993, one phone conversation rocked the entire world.
A private phonecall between a Prince and his rumoured mistress was splashed onto the pages of the world's biggest tabloid magazine. It lead to a high-profile divorce, global embarrassment and more tampons content than you can poke a stick at.
This episode Holly unpacks Tampon-Gate, the who, the how and most importantly the why?!
One story, two generations, so much WTF.
