door and said good morning. Have you noticed that?

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I can't hear Daniel, what's that?

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Get enough that I.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Know?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
She usually just stops by once a morning to say
your morning. Now she's twice today. I don't know. Look,
Rob Shooter is here, Rob Shooter we always look with
When Rob is here, you elevate, You elevate this room
to sight's unseen way above us.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
And that's alt pretty kindly that this room is flying high.
Even with that, may I said, pretty much? Do we
have the Barry Man Alott Rob Shooter intro? Not even nice?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Here here we are? Yeah, yeah, here comes no Shoot, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Rah sing along. I don't think he thought I was
going to use it quite as much as I.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Oh, I mean, obviously you got it. You gottam all
pilled up. They're going to the studio and make up
for you.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Does he ever perform that in canter He does not.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Perform in his live shows. Can you imagine after Bandy
and Copacabana he didn't already? But nice with Rob?

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, I paid r to see there. But anyway, that's
got to be a little bit of an ego hit
for you don't know that very the very man will
recorded there hopefully sweet.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
But let's be let's be honest about this. My husband,
Bruce Sussman wrote the lyrics. So Bruce has worked with
Barry for years. They wrote copa Gibana together and some
of the big songs. So the only reason this happened
is because I'm married to Bruce Sussman. Had Bruce writing
songs with Lady Gargart, then maybe I would have a
theme song Lady. But I'm very very.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Happy to have Barry. It's a thrill today. Maybe maybe
next life the will sing you a song. Alright, So
Rob Shooter, of course are not even nice. Let's talk
about your podcast.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Thank you, Daniel. Can't leave the house each morning without
listening to this podcast. I'm told that's right.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
I cannot. I love it so much.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Thank you, Dolling. You have excellent taste, five days a week,
twenty minutes of your favorite celebrity gossip. I'd bang it
out in the mornings or sometimes you if I go
thank you. Sometimes if I go drinking, I might pretay
people tellingbody and so by nine o'clock every morning, twenty
minutes of all your favorite celebrity gossip, lots of exclusives,
lots of analysis.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
I sit in my closet at home with a friend
on zoom and we and we do these podcasts and
we've become terribly good at it. May I say I'm
glad promoting it now? I would say, hideously it's good.
It's good, hideously hideously good. Thank you very much, thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Obviously, as Rob Shuter bangs it out every morning, that's
how he got that jingle from very munch. Anyway, I
have a list of things I'm going to ask you.
I'm going to ask you to comment on these lists,
on these things on my list. I hope you have
something ready to go. How about Tom Cruise in his
dating life? I reported this first. So Tom, Tom and
Anna de Armas are together. They were spotted together on

(03:07):
her birthday in London. Tom has pretty much now moved
to Great Britain. He lives in London. He got a
really lovely house just by Buckingham Palace and now Annas
is over there. We've spotted them about three times together.
When we first saw them, their friends their people were
saying they were potentially working on a project and this

(03:28):
wasn't a romance, this was this was work related. But
now I think by the third time, we know something's
going on on. I spoke to my sources who said
it was her birthday. You don't hang out with somebody
on your birthday for a business relationship. He took her
to a really romantic dinner at a fabulous restaurant in London.
I knew some people inside the restaurants who said this

(03:49):
was not this was not a business dinner were they
They were her hands and she also too had her
doggie with her. So add that up a birthday, no
security guards, just you and Tom.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
I hear it's kissy kissy and most importantly too, I
believe that the scientologists do approve of Anna. This is
a big part of Tom's life. Is that what it takes,
you can't get in unless honestly that's that's that's he's
really So.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
We have to like audition them in some way.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
I think that that's a term we've heard in the
past when he dated Katie Holmes, we heard there was
some sort of audition. I think it's a process. I
think it's not, you know, a technical audition, but it's
really important if you if you don't believe in what
Tom believes, then you're not going to be part of
Tom's life.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Is it true that he doesn't see his daughter.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
He doesn't see his daughter.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
We busy dating, he's dating dating.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
We all make decisions in life, and Thom has decided
that the number one priority for him making movies and
being a scientologist, and whatever you think of that, it's
not his choice. He's decided that that's what he wants.
So if you want to be in Tom's world, if
you listen in, you better sign up. And so I'm
told that she has.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Did you see how much he eats when he does
his like a plane like walking in all these movies,
like he does his own stunts. He does so for
the Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning, he had to like
hang from a plane and he ate a dozen eggs
in the morning to get oh my god, and bacon
and toast.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
I can't. I can't hang from a plane and eat eggs.
It'll all fall right up and by the way, and
we're about to move on. But I'm so happy that
back in the day that he and Katie did not
name their daughter s I r II. Every time they
call her name, your phone would activate. All right, now, okay,
to be perfectly frank, I know that you are from

(05:46):
the motherland, Rob. And so the stories about Megan and
Harry and William. After a while we're like, we're like,
you love them. But this is a pretty big story
about Harry and Megan's royal titles because they I heard
like week they're about to have them unplugged by Prince
William when he becomes king.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, that was a huge story. It blew up last week.
So William is apparently we know William is very angry
with them, and so there was a big story last
week that he's going to pull their titles. However, just
to drill down on this a little bit, he does
not have the power to do that. So they have
two different titles. They have the Duke and the Duchess
of Sussex, and they also have the h r H

(06:26):
title that is His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness.
What William can remove is the hr H. He cannot
remove the Duke or the Duchess unless Parliament signs off
on it. So politicians, not the future king is going
to make that decision, and so I think at the
moment it's sort of like a story that's interesting. There's

(06:46):
there's lots of drama in that family, but he doesn't
have the power to take these titles away.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Can you imagine you want to change your name and
Parliament has to vote on its crazy? This is why
I'm so glad I was switched at birth and I'm
any longer. All right, let's move on to Miley Cyrus.
You know, the talk actually is about her father, Billy
Ray Cyrus, in his This is a strange connection to
talk about it.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray have been together now for.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Quite a while.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
They actually made a movie together, a movie that did
not do very well. We've not even heard of this problem,
but they work together and that's when they first started
to date. He was going through an ugly divorce at
the time, and she's sort of comforted him very well,
apparently because now they are together. What's interesting is this
family dynamic. It's really difficult. So I hit the phones

(07:35):
to see what was going on, and mind side to say,
Miley has not spoken to Elizabeth, that she's not reached
out to her they're not sure this relationship will last
very long, and it got me to thinking about our
own lives, Like when my brother meets a new girlfriend,
I don't want to be right away because it might
not last.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
And so I thinks difference there too.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, there's quite a big difference between the two of them.
But they're very, very excited about this relationship. It feels
a little bit forced to me. All the photographs were
seeing on social media. Are always going to be wary,
not just with celebrities but with regular couples. When you
constantly show me how much you love your partner, yeah,
I sometimes get a little bit nervous about that, and

(08:17):
it's almost like you're over compensating. So these two definitely together.
We spotted them at an airport together a couple of
days ago. But Miley so far is holding back, and
I think that might be a good idea.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Is the mom is she still dating Noah's ex boyfriend?

Speaker 3 (08:33):
She is still dating Noah's express It's a messy sort
of like family that would make a great reality show,
except this really is their their reality. But let's be
honest to you. The reason we pay so much attention
to this family is Miley is a superstar. Like Miley,
Cyrus is such a big deal, and so we always
seem to see things through her eyes. And at the moment,

(08:56):
she's been a little.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Cautious and she's still not talking to her dad, right.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
They're not talking. Maybe Elizabeth can bring them together, maybe
there can be some peace there. But no one's been
texting anybody yet. Wow.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Hey, I got a question about the Cyrus family. Here's
another dynamic. What about Miley's brother who was attacking Katy Perry,
accusing her of ripping his sister Miley off. Oh, I
did not quite fully understand that argument.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, it got under his skin and he lashed out
and probably regretted it. I believe he deleted it. Maybe
Miley encouraged him to do that. But I think sometimes
when somebody you love you think has not been treated
very well, as somebody has stolen from them, you want
to lash out. And I know I've been guilty of
this too. If somebody upsets a friend of mine, I've

(09:44):
opened my big mouth. And sometimes it's better to just
say say nothing. Because that really exploded. That was such
a big deal. But the brother was really really angry,
really angry, So very vocal.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
What was the accusation that she had.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Stolen my 's creat that thinks that Miley had done?
And there was specific examples. There was a haircut, there
was a type of song that she put ads. It's
spelled a little petty.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
It felt he came after everything, he said he ripped
her hair cut off her music everything.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yes, and didn't.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Katy Perry used to be a backup singer for Miley Cyrus.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
She did work with Miley back in the day. Yes,
it was all that's awful circle. I know Katy Perry
the astronaut.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
All right, big, big dare you wow? Alright, Look, we
have a huge, huge party coming up in New York,
the annual met Gala, the met ball Is it's a
fifth on Monday, and uh, this year's this year's what
do they call it?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
The theme?

Speaker 2 (10:45):
The theme is super fine tailoring? Black style? Now, is
this about black style as far as black touxedos or
black being black artists and black leaders And they want
us to emul them.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
That they're leaning into the black community. Here, not the
color what you're wearing, So don't expect to see a
lot of black on the carpet.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
But they were saying that they were worried that the
people that were coming were going to take it the
wrong way and.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Not know what they meant.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Well, I'm glad we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Don't dressed like you ring gone with the winds. That
is exactly the look that we needed. This could be
this could be a very difficult night. So people tread
very careful. If you're a white celebrity, you were going
to al Johlson, be very very careful that.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
We're just good advice for all parties.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Careful on this one.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
It could go either way.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
They have some great people host and get who's going
to be there. We've got a super rocky I've got
Pharrell Williams, who's fly, I mean he's super super fly.
And then Lebron James Turner. I've been to this ball twice.
Oh really, I don't think I'll ever be invited back
again now that I'm talking about it. But it's so glamorous.

(12:06):
You go up the steps and then you walk into
the met and Anna Winter, the editor of Vogue, and
the host committee are standing in a receiving line, and
you go down the line and you shake hands and
just like in the Devil Wears broader. There's an assistant
next to Anna whispering your name, so she pretends to

(12:27):
know who you are. I know, Anna was lovely to
see you, Robert.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
I wish every one of those in real life. It's
like I walk into the studio and someone says, that
is Gandi.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Donna's going to be there? Who else? So who's not
going to be Jimmy Fallon's going to be there? I'm
told this year this is on Monday Night, Chris Rock,
Diana Ross.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
But the Kardashians are always there.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
They're going to be there. I think kim started getting
dressed six months ago. But do you know who's not
going to be there? Who tried every year to get
an invite and they can't get in the Real Housewives?

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Oh yeah, Oh I have a question about this. Who
are the people who have been invited and will never
be invited back because they've done some naughty things.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
It's interesting Alas asked that question and she said, hold on.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Someone was like, weren't the Kardashian smoking in the bathroom once.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Or taking photographs? You're not allowed to take photographs. The
only person that Anna has ever gone on record and
said that she invited and would never be invited back
was President Trump. That's somebody that she doesn't want there anymore,
but celebraty. She's pretty flexible about it. Like many years
ago she said she'd never have reality stars. And now
let's be honest. It's the Kardashians Big night, so you
can change your opinion there, but it is. It's over

(13:44):
the top and ridiculous and glamorous.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
I have one other questions, so we hear that. You know,
what you see on the staircase is like the big
deal and all the pictures, but once you get inside
and you pass her, what happens.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
It's miserable. So my feet in I could barely eat
anything because everybody was judging me. It was awful. I said,
let's get out of here. Get the car at the
back of them out, because.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's a good question. How many people go to the
met bolt the gala just to be photographed on the
red carpet walking in and the staircase and then they
just walk out the back door and go hams.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Everybody apart from me. I wanted to sit down and
get my money's worth and get MyoD CA soda and
a piece of chicken. You see these tables. There's ten
people at each table, and they bring out ten desserts.
I at nine of the ten, nobody eats. Of course,
I went to Jennifer. Wow, all right, I love that. Now,

(14:47):
do you have a blind item for us to let.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Me do it?

Speaker 3 (14:49):
I have a delicious blind item.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
A blind item.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
My item is an item that we give you all
the details, all the temptations, every little detail we can
possibly find, but we don't actually give you the name
for legal reasons. Although it's quite fun to to sort
of speculate, who could this be? Which Late Night host
only dates through d ms. So if you meet him
out in a club or a bar and you ask

(15:15):
for his phone number, he says, d M me. He
doesn't give out his phone number.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Who is it?

Speaker 1 (15:24):
What do you think it is?

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well, Rob can't tell us, but we can guess. So
Late Night it's not Jimmy Fallon because he's happily married.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
And so is Kimmel.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Right yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
So Lton Night and Andy Cohen Carson. But maybe maybe
they are married, which is why you can only d
M them. That's maybe why they're not giving them just
a little red herring there. Well, it's not my Jimmy,
well it's not. It's too nice.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Oh you just you just whispered it to Daniel.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Melt it again, melt it again.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Did you get it?

Speaker 3 (15:58):
The name has been said, it's it's it's okay.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's what I thought. But you see, if I was
Andy Cohen, I do the same.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
No, I did not. I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
I made that. I mean, by the way, by the way,
just for the record, what is wrong with communicating through
DM and rather than phone numbers? I actually find a
little safer And I don't I don't think there's anything
scandalous about this at all, no offense.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
But I find that a guy in the bar and
chattering and he was like, how do I contact you?
This is my number?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Maybe Phase two is number.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
You know, if you don't give me your number when
we meet and you want to get together with me,
and you go d me, I'd be like, I help you.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
There's so much information that you can find out about
somebody through their phone number. Now you can get their
address and get a lot of stuff. I wouldn't give
somebody my phone.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Breather phone number. I didn't mind that very willingly because
I gossip for a living So I love people. Don't
call me, but do text me. Do text Rob.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
We love you.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
It's great coming fine. Thank you for all the support
on the podcast. It's part of the Elvis Duran podcast family.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
And I think Rob and I are doing something together
with his podcast.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
That's what I wanted to say. Can you talk about that?

Speaker 3 (17:10):
I think so to promote the show. You have so
many loyal, fantastic fans and listeners that we're going to
do a little something and put it out on social
media to encourage you to tempt you to listen to
the episode.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
I think we're going to talk about some stories that
we might have not gotten to this week.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Big stories so we can quite get to. So Danielle's
got a few major stories that she's bursting to tell us,
and I have a couple of stories too, So we'll
be doing that.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I love that a collab. All right, perfect, Rob Shooter,
We love you, And now we give you your special
Berri Menlo theme song to lead you out.
