Keith Urban abruptly ends interview after risqué Nicole Kidman question
The 57-year-old singer called in to Mix 102.3's Hayley & Max in the Morning on July 1 to talk about his tour and share memories of Adelaide. But the chat took a sharp turn when hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford introduced their 'Wall of Truth' segment - a game involving awkward, personal questions.
'We often get put into this situation,' Hayley said, 'but I get really uncomfortable asking something a guest might not want to answer.'
Then Max dove into the real question: 'What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having love scenes on TV?' referring to Kidman's 2024 Netflix film A Family Affair.
Seconds later, their Zoom connection dropped. 'He's just disconnected,' someone behind the scenes confirmed. Hayley reacted in disbelief: 'That's 100 percent what just happened. We've upset him! He's gone.'
The co-hosts were left scrambling, unsure whether Urban had ended the call himself or if his team had stepped in. 'He doesn't like talking about his wife,' Hayley said. Max, still surprised, added, 'I thought we were vibing!'
Before things went sideways, Urban had shared excitement about returning to the stage and admitted he still gets nervous before shows, likening the feeling to 'a racehorse kicking the stalls.'
Urban's High and Alive World Tour is set to hit Australia starting mid-August.

Netflix, NASA team up for space content
ISS views will be available on Netflix. Photo: File Streaming giant Netflix said Monday it will soon allow viewers to binge rocket launches and spacewalks through a partnership with US space agency NASA, reported AFP. "Whether you're a die-hard space nerd or someone who just really, really enjoys seeing Earth glow from 250 miles up, the countdown has officially begun," Netflix said in a blog post announcing the new NASA+ feed. Programming will include "jaw-dropping Earth views from the International Space Station (ISS), astronaut spacewalks that make your palms sweat" and rocket launch livestreams, according to Netflix. NASA said its partnership with the entertainment company, which reported over 300 million subscribers in December, aims to "bring space a little closer to home." "Our Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience," wrote Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+. The stream is committed to "inspiring new generations – right from the comfort of their couch or in the palm of their hand from their phone," she added. NASA+ programming will remain free of charge for viewers on the website and the agency's mobile app. Netflix announced a similar partnership with French television group TF1 earlier this month, its first such deal with a major traditional broadcaster anywhere in the world. That programming is slated to launch in summer 2026, giving Netflix subscribers in France access to five TV channels and a streaming platform. The terms of the Netflix deal were not made public, but follow in the footsteps of other partnerships to expand its content offerings. The company entered new territory at the end of 2024 by livestreaming two NFL games and a boxing match between YouTube personality Jake Paul and retired professional boxer Mike Tyson.

Josh Duhamel reflects on Netflix's ‘Ransom Canyon' renewal
Josh Duhamel has shared his thoughts on the return of Ransom Canyon following its official Season 2 renewal by Netflix. Speaking in a recent Zoom conversation covered by Forbes on June 30, 2025, Duhamel expressed gratitude for the support the show has received since its premiere. 'I'm grateful to be part of something that people really connected with,' he said from his home in Northern Minnesota. The actor described the series as a refreshing shift toward grounded, character-driven storytelling. Ransom Canyon, based on Jodi Thomas's novels, debuted in April 2025 and quickly entered Netflix's global Top 10. The story follows several families in a fictional Texas town, with Duhamel starring as Staten Kirkland, a rancher grappling with loss, family, and changing times. Netflix officially renewed the series on June 24, with production on Season 2 expected to begin in late 2025. Showrunner April Blair has confirmed that the writers' room is active and that the new season may feature a six-month time jump. The core cast including Minka Kelly, James Brolin, and Lizzy Greene is expected to return. No release date has been announced. As anticipation grows, Ransom Canyon continues to establish itself as one of Netflix's quieter hits, offering a blend of emotional depth and small-town realism.
