Show notes

Our single and ready-to-mingle host, Aricia Skidmore-Williams, has been saying this for a while: Chris Evans is the sexiest man alive! And now People Magazine has finally caught on. They have officially bestowed the “Sexiest Man Alive” title on the “Captain America” actor, who is taking it all in stride. In an interview with People, Chris humbly jokes about his sexy status, and also reveals that he’s ready to get wifed-up. But before Aricia had time to start looking for wedding dresses, it’s being reported that the “Knives Out” stud is already in a super serious relationship with actor Alba Baptista. So what gives - is this the end of Aricia’s dreams of a happy ending with Chris?

Jennifer Aniston Sets the Record Straight Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

We’re seeing Jennifer Aniston like we’ve never seen her before. In a revealing new interview with Allure magazine, the “Friends” star opens up for the first time about her struggles with infertility and all the tabloid speculation that's hounded her every step of the way. Jen also gets very candid about all the different methods she tried in order to have a baby - including IVF - and calls her journey “challenging.” This is definitely a rare glimpse into a side of Jen’s life that she has managed to keep very private. Until now, that is. So we might not know why is Jen coming forward with her story -- but if this is gonna help kick off a Jen-aissance, we're so here for it!

Jessica Simpson Claps Back Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

Jessica Simpson doesn’t need your judgement. Last week, the singer and clothing mogul appeared in a Pottery Barn Kids ad on Instagram, showing off her daughter’s room decor, which sparked a lot of concern for Jess. The comment section was full of fans wondering if she is okay, and questioning whether she’s sticking to her sobriety. Even though Jessica’s been open about her struggles with alcoholism in the past, she clapped back and is making it clear she doesn’t appreciate the speculation about her well-being. So is it time for fans to back off and stop over-analyzing every single move a celeb makes?

Did Selena Snub Her Lifesaving Bestie? Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

Selena Gomez is keeping things “interesting.” In an interview with Rolling Stone, Selena claims that Taylor Swift is her only “real friend” in the industry. But one of Selena’s (former???) friends, actor Francia Raisa, has taken exception to the comment, making it clear she feels snubbed that she wasn’t mentioned. After all -- Francia famously saved Selena’s life by giving her one of her own kidneys back in 2017 when the singer was suffering from lupus and her body was failing her. So…is this a bad look for Selena?

Gone Too Soon: Aaron Carter Nov 07, 2022

Former teen heartthrob and rapper Aaron Carter was found dead on Saturday at the age of 34. Since the news broke, family and celebrities have publicly offered their condolences, including a touching tribute from Aaron’s older brother, and Backstreet Boy, Nick. No cause of death for the “I Want Candy” singer has been determined, but it’s no secret that Aaron definitely faced a lot of mental health and addiction demons during his short life. Rest in peace, Aaron.

Selena Gomez Gives a 'Rare' Look at Her Life Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

Selena Gomez is getting real. The superstar singer and actor is opening up about her serious mental and physical illnesses in her new documentary “My Mind & Me,” which just dropped today on Apple+. In the doc, which was filmed over the course of six years, the “Only Murders in the Building” star opens up about her battles with both lupus and bipolar disorder. Selena says even though it was hard for her to share her story, she agreed to do it to help others dealing with the same challenges to feel less alone. It’s always refreshing to us when a celebrity gets vulnerable in an effort to spread awareness, but are stars like Selena obligated to use their platforms this way?

Christina Applegate is a Total Badass! Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

If there’s one thing we know about Christina Applegate, it’s that she’s a fighter. The “Anchorman” actor beat breast cancer back in 2008, but is now facing another major health battle. Christina recently opened up to the New York Times about being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and how living with the disabling disease has affected filming for the final season of her Netflix show “Dead to Me.” Even with this whole new set of physical limitations and challenges, Christina is still tenacious as hell, and she’s not letting MS stop her from finishing what she started. With over 40 years of showbiz experience under her belt, there’s no one more equipped to take this challenge head-on than this fierce comedy icon! We love you, Christina!

Tom Brady Loses a Ring Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

Richies, we can’t say we didn’t see this one coming. After months of speculation, it’s Game Over for star QB Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The couple filed for divorce on Friday, and within a few hours, the split was official. Tom and Gisele both claim the divorce was an amicable one, but an inside source says it wasn’t quite as easy as that. The source says divorce is the absolute last thing Tom wanted, and he reportedly tried to save the marriage. But there was no Hail Mary good enough for Gisele. So now that these two power players are done, what’s next? Will Gisele finally have a chance to “un-retire"? And how much longer can Tom keep slinging that pigskin before he’s forced to hang ’em up for good?

Taylor Swift Makes History Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

Taylor Swift has made herstory! Since her new album “Midnights” debuted just over a week ago, it’s been breaking records with its streaming numbers and massive sales. And that’s not all -- Taylor has now become the first-ever artist to have songs in all of the top ten slots on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart at the same time. (She surpassed Drake’s old record.) Plus, it’s the first time EVER that Billboard’s top ten hasn’t included a song from a male artist. But while Taylor should be riding high, she’s still embroiled in controversy over her ‘Anti-Hero’ music video. Some Swifties were upset about the “fat scale scene,” feeling it sent the wrong message. Taylor heard them and axed the moment from her vid, but now a whole new bunch of fans are upset. So what gives? Is it just impossible for stars to please everybody?

Celebs Rock and Shock in Halloween Costumes Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

Happy Halloween, Richies! As usual, the stars are celebrating by going all out with their elaborate, over-the-top and outrageous costumes. But of course, all this creativity doesn’t really count unless it’s well-documented on social media! Kim Kardashian and Janelle Monae went blue by dressing up as two different sci-fi movie characters. Pop star Ariana Grande hit a high note with fans when she and actor Liz Gillies shared videos of them recreating scenes from the iconic mockumentary “Best in Show.” But not every celeb’s costume choices were hits with the public - some stars were dressed down for dressing up. Like Lizzo, who took some heat for her look as rapper Chrisean Rock, and Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly for their controversial take on Catholicism. This, of course, is not the first time the people have come for celeb costume missteps. (Anyone remember Julianne Hough in blackface or Chrissy Teigen’s Native American costume?) So here’s our question - even though some stars still push the limits, are most of them playing it safe these days?
