Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators' MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD (on Early Days of Bravo, Andy Cohen & The Kardashians) Oct 15, 2023

Show notes

Feeling Nostalgic this Sunday? We are. That’s why we decided to share this chat from the past with Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Martyn fills us in on what he has been up to since we last saw him on our TV Screens on Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators. His first big break in design came from sitting next to Original Supermodel Cheryl Tiegs at a wedding. By the end of the wedding she had hired him to decorate her house and, from there, his design business started to take off. Martyn Lawrence Bullard Design was born. Martyn chats with us about his “Design Style” and his Design “Dos” and Dont’s”. We also chat about how Martyn was cast on Bravo’s classic “Million Dollar Decorators” and his relationships with his co-stars Mary McDonald, Kathryn Ireland, and Jeffrey Alan Marks. Martyn also chats about some of his Celebrity Clients, and their design styles, such as Cher, Kylie Jenner (whose Architectural Digest Cover was the highest ranked Design Story of all time, 1.6 Billion and Counting), Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, The Osbournes Sharon, Ozzy and Kelly, Gwen Stefani, RuPaul and Cindy Crawford.

Erika Jayne's Win, Scheana's Diss, Brandi Glanville's Confusion & Our Recent Tom Girardi "Sighting" Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

Scheana Shay comes for Lindsay Hubbard, Bethenny Frankel aids Gina Kirschenheiter, Erika Jayne gets a spin off and that does not even begin to scratch the surface of some of the recent happenings in the BravoVerse. So much drama, so little time. We discuss what to expect this new season of RHOBH, the rise of Sutton, the reign of Garcelle, the rise, fall and rise of Erika Jayne and what we think was a possible Tom Girardi sighting this past week in the most unexpected of places. Finally, we discuss Brandi Glanville’s recent hospital visit, why she is being held “hostage” and why she is going to be very disappointed when her season of RHUGT airs, if it ever does air.

Show notes

Brandi Marshall steps Behind The Rope. Selling The OC’s Brandi Marshall that is. Brandi is here to chat all about Selling The OC - all the just witnessed Season Two drama, cast mates Alex Hall, Jarvis, Tyler, Rose, Polly, Gio, Kayla, Austin, the highs and lows of being on a hit Netflix show, Tyler and Alex Hall (are they or aren’t they), office kisses, double standards, make outs, make ups and more. Of course, Brandi talks the season long spat with Alex Hall which came to a head in Cabo, the audiences' reaction, the deeper meaning and where she stands today with Hall. With all this, one can only wonder, how long do we have until Season Three.

Introducing: Even The Royals Oct 08, 2023

Show notes

Admit it: you’re obsessed with royal families – watching them, gossiping about them, wanting to be them. It’s the stuff of fantasy. But for real life royals, the crown jewels can be more like shiny handcuffs. There are expectations and rules – and if you break them, the consequences are big, and very public. And no, we’re not just talking about Harry and Meghan. There are royal families and wild royal tales from around the world and throughout history that you have never heard before.

From Wondery comes the latest from Even the Rich co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams, Even the Royals. They’ll take you inside the cloistered world of royal families, past and present, where wealth and status often come at the expense of your freedom – and maybe even your life.

This is just a preview of Even the Royals. You can listen to the full episode exclusively on Wondery+. https://wondery.app.link/ETR_BTE
