1. “Everyone was laughing at it.” Jackie O on the Popstars ‘joke’ that wouldn’t make it to air today.
If you cast your mind back to the early 2000’s, you may remember a little singing competition calledPopstars.The show came out two years beforeAustralian Idoland was hosted by a fresh-faced Jackie O Henderson.
Earlier today, Jackie O recalled one moment from the show that would never be allowed to go to air today, during an interview with comedian Andy Lee on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
During one of the auditions, music executive Chris Moss was filmed quite obviously checking out one of the performers as she sang.
According to Jackie O, it was “supposed to be a funny thing” involving Chris getting “busted” looking where he definitely shouldn’t be.
She only just realised how outdated the humour was after recently re-watching the footage.
“Everyone was laughing at it. And I’m thinking, ‘Oh god, that just wouldn’t fly now’,” Jackie O said.

The footage was later revisited in a scene where the Bardot band members watched back audition footage during a dinner party with the judges.
"What are you looking at?" one of the band members asked Chris.
Yep, the early 2000's were certainly a very different time.

2. Glee’s Lea Michele is reportedly pregnant with her first child.
Gleestar Lea Michele is reportedly expecting her first child with husband Zandy Reich.
An unnamed source supposedly confirmed the news to People,who exclusively covered the couple’s wedding last year.
“They’ve always wanted to be parents,” the source told the publication.
But before we get too excited, the couple are yet to make any official announcement themselves.
Michele and Reich first got together in 2017, before announcing their engagement in April 2018. The couple married a year later, with 200 family members and friends present, including Michele'sScream Queensco-star Emma Roberts and herGleeco-stars Darren Criss and Becca Tobin, as well as the show's writer Ryan Murphy.
“We are so excited to be married and grateful to be surrounded by our friends and family,” the couple toldPeopleat the time. “And most of all, we’re so happy to spend the rest of our lives together.”
It looks like we'll just have to wait to see if the couple confirm the baby news.
3. Um... Too Hot To Handle's Harry says his mum told him to "shag everyone" on the show.
If you haven't watched Netflix's new dating reality TV show, Too Hot To Handle yet, we highly suggest you do.
The show sends 10 young attractive singles to a villa in Mexico where they get the chance to win $100,000. But in order to win the prize money, they aren't allowed to kiss or touch anyone else in the villa; and if they do, money will be deducted.
If you have watched it all (like we have) you will remember the Australian contestant, Harry Jowsey.
And although we already knew the 23-year-old Queenslander had a wild streak, we didn't know that his... mum does too.
When speaking to NWmagazine, Jowsey shared that his mum is his biggest fan and it was her that encouraged him to 'get along' with the women on the show.
"She's my absolute biggest fan!" Harry shared.
"She told me that I had to go and shag all the chicks. I was like, 'Mum, I'm trying to be a good boy here!'"

MAFS' Stacey Hampton has been a busy woman lately. She has travelled over 6000km across the country, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
However, since she has received some backlash over travelling this much as the government stipulates we should all stay home, she has clarified that this travel was essential.
"I've been travelling to Melbourne for my charity and I also do essential service work for a transport company every second week.
"I'm only travelling to and from business locations, otherwise, I'm isolating in my hotel until I return. I do the legal and accounts for the transport compa
