Celeb in 5: Thursday's best entertainment and gossip news.

1. Don’t panic but Bachie rejects Tara and Davey might be dating. Maybe.

If there’s one thing we love more than life itself here at Mamamia, it’s… our kids.

Nah, just kidding. Incestuous Bachie spin-off relationships are waaaaayyyyy more exciting.

Thankfully, we just might have a fresh one on our hands between none other than Tara Pavlovic from Matty J’s The Bachelor, and Davey Lloyd from The Bachelorette’s very first season with Sam Frost.

The evidence to support such a claim comes in the form of two very cosy looking Instagram stories.

On Tuesday, Pavlovic shared a bloody hilarious pic of her FaceTiming with Lloyd on her way to, presumably, a holiday in NSW’s Coffs Harbour captioned, “Couple of tens”. Classic.

Then came Lloyd's response, a picture of him FaceTiming Pavlovic at The Falls Festival in Byron Bay. He captioned his, "Same same but kettle". We have no idea what that means, but OK.

Look, these are pretty much the faces we pull when FaceTiming so that says it all really.

Don't forget to invite us to the wedding please.

2. Karlie Kloss may have just chosen Katy Perry over her BFF Taylor Swift in the celebrity feud that never ends.

If you're a fan of reading waaay too much into social media posts, you're going to love this one.

Karlie Kloss, model and member of Taylor Swift's highly exclusive squad, has formed an alliance with Katy Perry or is for some reason on the outs with Swift and lashing out. That's according to some deep reading of two words in an Instagram caption the 25-year-old wrote on January 1.

In case you've been living under a rock, Perry and Swift are locked in a feud that started sometime around 2013 - although how fiercely it's still raging is up for debate. (Some say the pair have settled their differences and Perry is set to star in Swift’s music video for End Game.)

So when Kloss captioned a video of her Love magazine advent calendar vid with "swish swish" - the title of Perry's 2017 song about their feud - some fans took it as a sign the model had switched sides.

The former Victoria's Secret angel changed the caption to "Nothing but net", but the damage had been done. And by damage, we mean people's speculation allowed to run wild.

3. Caitlyn Jenner just dragged Piers Morgan over hot coals for disrespecting trans people.

We've all heard the saying, 'New year, new you', right? Well, would someone mind enlightening British TV host Piers Morgan? Because here we are, four days in to 2018 and he's already pulling his same ol' disrespectful shtick.

In an interview with Caitlyn Jenner for his ITV series Life Stories, the 52-year-old questioned how her physique had changed since she was a gold-medal-winning Olympic decathlete in the 1970s, and quipped, "Obviously certain areas we know [about]."

For a moment it seemed like the 68-year-old trans woman was going to let it slide. But only for a moment.

"You made a comment there and that's why you would get in trouble, okay? You said ‘certain areas’ - that, to a trans-person, is disrespectful,” the I Am Cait star said.

When Morgan attempted to defend his comment as lighthearted, Jenner pressed on: “Out of respect to myself and the community, it's not something that you joke about. This is serious stuff. People die over these issues.”

Jenner, who has six children including the reality TV star Kardashian sisters, came out as transgender in April 2015.

4. Duggar family announce they're expecting, again. Shocker.

OK so this one's going to require some mental stamigna.

Basically, one of the 19 Duggar family children, from the TV show 19 and Counting, has announced they are expecting their first child.

It's Jinger Vuolo (nee Duggar), who sits up the older end of the family tree, aged 24. She and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo announced they are pregnant on their website. Yep, their website.

“The past fourteen months have been the best of our lives as we have had the wonderful privilege of beginning our journey through life together in marriage. We both looked forward to the joys of marriage but neither one of us fully understood just how amazing the start of this journey would be. Truly, the Lord’s mercies are new every morning!” the couple wrote on their website Wednesday.

“Now, the journey has taken an exciting turn: we are expecting our first child!” they continued. “We are praising God for this beautiful gift and ask that you join us in praying for a safe and healthy pregnancy.”

Now, if you're super confused like us about who these people are, here's an actual Duggar family tree to make things a little bit clearer.

5. Holy Jesus did Schapelle Corby just hint she's gonna be the next Bachelorette?

Probably not, BUT STILL!

So pretty much what's happened here is that convicted drug smuggler turned social media star turned maybe pop singer, Schapelle Corby posted a picture of herself on Instagram with a rose, followed by an image of this quote: "You are never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream."

Que chaos because, HOLY CRAP THIS MUST MEAN SCHAPELLE DREAMS OF BEING THE NEXT BACHELORETTE.

Fans promptly went into meltdown, commenting, '"The Bachelorette 2018: Schapelle". You can hear the TV execs frothing now. #schapellecorby.' and '#bachelorette starring #Schapelle.'

However, Schapelle's sister Mercedes Corby dismissed the rumours, telling The Kyle and Jackie O Show in May: 'That's not gonna happen!'

We guess we'll have to wait and see now, won't we?
