Selena Gomez's Body is None of Your Business Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

Selena sure has been through it. Not only does she have to continually battle lupus and her mental health issues, she also has those persistent Jelena fans to deal with. Apparently, it doesn’t matter to them that it’s been YEARS since Selena dated pop star Justin Bieber - Jelena fans will always find a way to make everything in Selena’s life about the Biebs. Recently, a viral TikTok video claimed that Selena was “always skinny” while dating Justin because he likes his women model-thin. Selena has now weighed in by responding with a sad face emoji. Now the debate is raging about what the emoji means. So we wonder - when will Jelena fans call it quits and leave her alone?

Céline Dion's 'One-in-a-Million' Diagnosis Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

Céline Dion has received some very bad news. Yesterday, the beloved “My Heart Will Go On” singer posted two Instagram videos telling her fans that she’s pumping the brakes on her tour. She revealed the reason is that she’s been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called Stiff Person Syndrome, which makes it difficult to sing, much less to perform live. If there’s one thing we know about Céline, it’s that she’s a fighter who’s no stranger to overcoming life’s challenges. But does this serious and heartbreaking diagnosis mean we may never see Céline on stage again?

Holmes for the Holiday - T.J. & Co-Anchor Amy Robach Pulled Off Air Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

The chaos keeps building over at “Good Morning America.” After news broke of the affair between GMA3 anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes last week, it was business as usual on Thursday and Friday as both showed up behind the anchor desk. But yesterday, ABC News president Kim Godwin decided the scandal was too distracting and pulled Amy and T.J. off the air. There’s no word yet on how long this hiatus will last, but after the ratings surge GMA saw last week, is this the right move for ABC?

Boos Cruise - Rough Start to Will & Kate's US Trip Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

They shoot! They don’t score. On their first trip to the US in 8 years, Prince William and Princess Kate took in a basketball game in Boston between the Celtics and the Heat. When they appeared on the jumbotron, they were met with loud boos and chants of, “USA! USA!” Hard to say what provoked this frosty reception, but a lot of people are pointing to some Royal drama back home in England involving Will’s godmother. Lady Hussey was accused of racist behavior towards a Black charity head. And this is all happening as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new docuseries is about to drop on Netflix. The royal PR team is on full alert. Could this all be a sign that the Royal Mask is finally dropping?

The Chrisleys Know Jail Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

Richies, Todd and Julie Chrisley are being forced to face the music. Earlier this year, the “Chrisley Knows Best” couple was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, conspiracy to defraud the U.S., and tax fraud. Whew! That’s quite a rap sheet for the married reality stars. And just last week, they were sentenced to a collective 19 years in prison and have to pay up over $17 million in restitution. Even though they could have been slapped with longer prison sentences, Todd and Julie claim they’re receiving harsher treatment because of their TV fame. So are the Chrisleys being made an example of? Or is their sentencing still a slap on the wrist?

Not a 'Good Morning' for GMA Anchors T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

Richies, we do love a workplace romance (shout out to Jim and Pam!) but they can get messy. Just ask GMA3 anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, who are now making their own headlines. Even though these two are married to other people, they’ve allegedly been having a secret affair for months. And they’re playing it cool -- Amy and T.J. showed up for work today, as usual, and didn’t mention anything about all the rumors. But could this scandal damage their wholesome images and jeopardize their on-camera careers?

Are People Ready to Forgive Will Smith? Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

After laying very low since the Oscars and his slap-heard-round-the-world, Will Smith is finally talking. He sat down with Trevor Noah on “The Daily Show” last night for his first major TV interview since Slapgate to promote his new film, “Emancipation.” It was there that he opened up about that fateful night in March and had an interesting take on what exactly triggered his behavior. Will also talked about how he’s worried that “Emancipation” - and everyone who worked on it - will be punished for his huge lapse in judgment. So we’re wondering how this film will do, and what that will mean for Will’s career?
