1. It wasn't Cyrell's fault: There are new developments in the MAFS wine-throwing saga.

So, it looks like there was more to the MAFS wine-throwing saga that we didn't see on TV.

As you're probably aware, the Married At First Sightall star reunion featured yet another wine throwing incident. This time involving Cyrell Paule and Jessika Power.

But right before the splash down occurred, Cyrell joked to another constant, Ines Basic about throwing wine on Jess.

"Maybe you should f*cking do it…I don’t want to condone this behaviour, but she needs it," said Ines. "She needs to come back down to earth."

At that point, a lot of us were a tad confused given Ines and Jess' close friendship. But according to Jess, there was a particular reason that Ines was upset with her that night.

Speaking about the incident on the So Dramatic! podcast, Jess said, "'That really hurt me because Ines and I were good friends before the show, like before the reunion."

"I came into the reunion wanting no beef with anyone, if I could make amends with people I would make amends, if I could just move past, I'd move past."

Jess went on to explain that the problem between Ines and her started when Jess went to say hello to contestants Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli.

"When I went to say hello to Martha and Michael, it was such a warm welcome and a warm hello and then Martha and I broke away to talk about my body shaming post that I put up," said Jess.

"And Ines came over and she was like 'what are you two f***ing friends now are you?' And I said, 'Babe I just walked through the door like what do you mean?' And she was like 'oh alright whatever' and walks off. And that's why Ines was upset and angry at me... and that's why she didn't stand up for me because she was on Cyrell's side from there."

"We haven't spoken since," Jess continued. She said at the second night that she didn't want to be friends with either me or Martha and we just both said ok because so much energy just goes into it.

Well, there you go.

2. In disappointing patriarchal news, Priyanka Chopra was kicked off set for bringing up equal pay.

Priyanka Chopra has opened up about the time she was asked to leave a film set after she (rightfully) brought up the issue of equal pay.

During an upcoming episode of the Skimm'd from the Couch podcast, the 38-year-old actress explained that she was told by a film executive that she could "take the paycheck, which was nominal" compared to the men in the cast, or she could leave.

Producers told Priyanka "There’s so many other girls who will take this opportunity. And, you know, women in movies are interchangeable," she recalled in the podcast.

"I didn’t do anything about it," she added. "I had to work within the system because that's what we're told, that, 'You know, if you want this job… this is the only way'."

She went on to say that hearing conversations that other women in the industry were having helped her eventually learn to stand up for herself.

"It took almost 15 years for me to get to that place where, you know, I could stand my ground," she said. "It took hearing the conversations from other women banding together to give me the confidence to stand up for myself."

We love to see it.

3. There’s a new Aussie dating show in the works and it’s flying in suitors from the US, which seems… problematic.

It looks like there's a new dating show coming to Australia for 21-years-and-older singles, because if there's one thing TV doesn't have enough of, it's

wannabe influencers pretending they're looking for love

love.

We don't know much - aside from the fact it will be bringing Americans to Australia, and that seems like a questionable choice at the moment...

The ad reads: "Are you single and looking for love? A US television network is now casting.

“The production will be an inclusive dating experience, that focuses on finding love matches for each of the suitors. We are flying in America’s best-looking singles!”

We had a quick squiz at the application form which includes such questions as:

"Have you ever appeared nude publicly, on TV, in a video, movie or on the Internet?", and:

"We all have baggage that we carry into relationships… what is your baggage?", which is fun, we guess.

It also asks applicants if they have any issues with leaving the country to film, and we don't know what alternate reality they're living in but international travel right now is... banned?

Anyway, if you're keen to find love (or just want to travel overseas during this questionable time), you can apply for the show over here.

4. Fenty is going on hiatus, so naturally all of Rihanna’s fans are now demanding new music.

In not-so-good news, Rihanna's iconic fashion brandFenty'sready-to-wear line is going on an indefinite hiatus, so we'd jump on that while you've still got the chance.

In a statement to Woman's Wear Daily, Rihanna's team said: “Rihanna and LVMH
