S19E08: Famous In A Small Town | Jason Aldean Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

Country star Jason Aldean has a list of things that Americans wouldn't want to try in a small town, but how about trying a high profile affair, a reputation-tarnishing divorce, marrying your mistress, and living the highest of the high life while singing hollow anthems about a lifestyle you never lived? Well that's perfectly fine to try in a small town, apparently.

S19E07: Blonde Ambition | Leeza Gibbons Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

TV's Leeza Gibbons has been many things: a talk show host, an Emmy Winner, a best-selling author, and a generous philanthropist, so you may be wondering where she's found the time for four marriages and three divorces. While her first marriage sounds like a fairly classic no-hard-feelings starter marriage, hubby #2 certainly trashed the place up in their short marriage. Alicia has high hopes for her fourth marriage though, now more than a decade along.

S19E06: You Don't Own Me | Marcia Clark Jul 23, 2023

Show notes

Not everyone goes into their field dreaming of fame and fortune, but for O.J. Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark, fame hit her like a ton of bricks. Three days after filing for divorce from her second husband, the accomplished lawyer in the Los Angeles District Attorney's office got a call about a double murder in Brentwood the night before. Her life would never be the same, in part because of the very awful contributions her exes and their family members made to the story.

S19E05: Everyday I Write The Book | Mary Astor, The Pilfered Purple Diary, and the Sex Scandal that Rocked 1936 Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

Movie stars have always had to weigh the facts of their authentic lives against the cost that revelations about those might inflict. This was the bind that screen legend Mary Astor was in back in 1936. Her unfaithful husband had been abusive, but his addiction to her money, and the reputational cost she would face for divorcing him, meant he was going nowhere. Until he found her diary, and realized he could have it all: her money, their daughter, and his freedom, by blackmailing her into a divorce on his terms. But when Mary realized that her daughter was in danger, she put it all on the line in a headline-grabbing custody trial that could have finished her career.

S19E04: Original Prankster | Jimmy Kimmel Jul 16, 2023

Show notes

Nighttime talker Jimmy Kimmel's divorce wasn't particularly trashy, but in a career that's now spanned decades, he's had his trashy moments. From an unclear beginning with fellow comedian Sarah Silverman to his baby son's medical crisis (see his moving monologue about it on YouTube here) to a fairly obscene feud with Sean Hannity and Marjorie Taylor Greene (watch Jimmy file a report with Batman about Georgia's MTG, on YouTube), this Original Prankster has had quite a run.

S19E03: The Facts of Life | Lisa Whelchel Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

For those of us growing up in the 1980s, and our parents as well, The Facts of Life was simply must-see TV. The coming of age story of four girls at a boarding school, under the care of watchful housemother Mrs. Garrett, warmed our hearts and our television screens. Who can forget preppy, glamorous Blair Warner, brought to life for nine seasons by actress Lisa Whelchel? Lisa, a committed Christian from the age of 10, has gone on to have quite the journey over the decades, from marrying (and later divorcing) a pastor, to writing a number of Christian-themed books on family and parenthood. But it was her season on Survivor in 2012 that seems to have sparked a personal growth journey for the ages! Alicia has the details.

S19E02: Personal Jesus | Bishop Eddie Long Jul 09, 2023

Show notes

Atlanta's Bishop Eddie Long made himself a prominent voice in the fertile world of Prosperity Gospel preachers in the early 2000s. His charismatic preaching style and internationally broadcast sermons grew his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church to more than 25,000 members, and landed Bishop Long behind the wheel of luxury Bentleys and enjoying time aboard private jets. But there was a dark side to it all, including allegations from four teenaged congregants of coerced sexual relationships, as well as evidence of significant financial misdeeds.

S19E01: Forever In Blue Jeans | Calvin Klein Jul 05, 2023

Show notes

And we're back! Alicia kicks off Season 19 with the life and times - and trashy divorces and breakups - of fashion icon Calvin Klein. Yes, he pioneered designer jeans and scandalized the world with a racy Brooke Shields ad campaign in the 80s, but his real triumph seems to be forcing everyone in his orbit to see his name on underwear when a man disrobes!

S18E24: It's A Man's Man's Man's World | Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi Jun 25, 2023

Show notes

When news broke that former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi had died earlier this month, he went from a name on our list of potential subjects to a subject ripe for exploration. And what a ride it is - from his numerous affairs, to his scandalous (and criminal) "bunga bunga" parties, to his nearly flawless success in avoiding consequences for all manner of criminal conduct - his story is yet more proof that, like James Brown said, "It's a man's man's man's world."

Programming note: We're off next week to work on getting Season 19 ready for you! See you back on July 5, Trash Pandas!

S18E23: Little Miss Can't Be Wrong | RHOC's Kelly Dodd Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

We've covered our fair share of Real Housewives on this show, but we're pretty sure you'll agree that even at their trashiest, none can hold a candle to the Real Housewives of Orange County's Kelly Dodd. From rampant allegations of domestic violence to taking her feuds - real and imagined - onto social media, Kelly's outrageous behavior was even too much for Bravo.
