Then Maureen is joined by Substack's "Naughty But Nice" celebrity reporter, Rob Shuter, and the two of them break down the latest details in Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's shocking split, the falsely reported story about Meghan Markle's estranged father, Hoda Kotb's 'Today Show 'regret, and the dark reality of Priscilla Presley's behavior.
