The Crimes + Passions of Tinsley Mortimer Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

Tinsley’s mugshot is well known, but the details of her crime? Not so much. After Rebekah shares today’s story we wonder, Is Tinsley’s biggest crime loving too much? No, it’s literally trespassing, but we hope Tinsley learns to love herself first and we are grateful that her story didn’t end even more tragically. Listen now to learn all about the Crimes + Passions of Tinsley Mortimer.

For anyone interested, here’s the 911 call Tinsley made which we reference in the episode! https://soundcloud.com/gossipextra/tinsley-mortimer-911-call

Kim Kardashian: I Love Paris in the Ring-time Feb 26, 2021

Show notes

Rebekah sets the scene for Paris Fashion Week, 2016. She lays out the lesser known details surrounding the jewelry theft and attack in which Kim Kardahsian was a victim. Police say it was the largest heist Paris has seen in decades, so why do we know so little? Where was her bodyguard? How did these men get in? Was the nightwatchman involved? It was hard, but we did our best to Keep Up With The Kardashian’s in this French Kaper.

Melissa is up next episode and offers these three clues as to what her story is about: a will, Howard Stern, and Hard Rock Live. Color me intrigued! Any guesses? Let us know on social media!

Mike Sorrentino and the Internal Revenue "Situation" Feb 12, 2021

Show notes

Melissa invites us to travel back to a simpler time and place. 2009. The Jersey Shore. We fondly remember all that this MTV reality show gave us, but we also learn that Mike Sorrentino encountered the all too often quandary; “Mo Money, Mo Problems.” From failed businesses to tax evasion, Mike found himself in quite a situation.

Rebekah is up next episode and offers these three clues as to what her story is about: Bling, Paris, and Social Media. Any guesses? Let us know on social media!
