CNN insiders say “enough is enough” as the network quietly moves toward cutting ties with longtime New Year’s Eve host Andy Cohen, while Hollywood reels from the shocking death of Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter, Victoria Kafka Jones, found dead at 34 in a San Francisco hotel room. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian is said to feel “defeated” and emotionally drained after what she calls the hardest year of her life, with sources claiming love now feels “impossible” as she desperately tries to leave 2025 behind.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Scalable advice for sure, Spice, It's time and no no
and no, and no and no and lo. Hello, Welcome
to the Naughty but Night Sham. Your host robshou to
having so much fun over this first new week of
the new year. Happy twenty twenty six. It's just us today.
Corey is traveling having a vacation. Good for you, Cory.
So let's jump into as show. What time is it?
(00:30):
My friends? It is tea Time, big exclusive at the
top of the show. You're not gonna hear anywhere else.
So CNN is ready to move on from Andy Cohen
and Anderson Cooper and the big New Year's Eve celebration.
Insiders say enough is enough. After years of complaints, Andy
Coheny rang in the New Year on CNN, but finally
(00:52):
his days might be numbered there, as insiders tell me,
the network is quietly preparing to move on next year.
All two poor sources inside CNN's Hudson Yards here right
down the street from me, about ten blocks away from
me on Tenth Avenue in Manhattan. Staffers are increasingly uncomfortable
(01:12):
with Andy's on air antics, and several of even file
a complaint about how messy the behavior is. And it
doesn't really fit into this news organization. Let me give
you some quotes here. One insider tells me, this is CNN,
it's not Bravo, and what works on reality TV doesn't
really work for a news network trying to protect its credibility.
(01:36):
Let me explain. So, I know a ton of people
that work at CNN, and they are real journalists. They
work really really hard on getting you the news. They
don't want to be as political as Andy is. He
he attacked the mayor on New Year's Eve. It was
an alcohol fueled rant targeting the outgoing mayor. And he
(01:56):
might have some valid, valid points. It's just that was
not the place, the time, or the network to do it.
And so Anderson Cooper, he was mortified. He tried to
rail him in, but Andy did not stop. And so
everything that has made Andy successful at Bravo doesn't fit
in CNN. And the timing it could not be worse.
(02:18):
CNN is going through a massive upheaval as the parent company,
Warner Brothers Discovery is exploring strategic options and to figure
out a way to restructure, maybe make the network independent.
It looks like they are going to try and sell
Warner brothers. Netflix has offered a ton of money. Paramount
(02:40):
is trying to buy them too, and they don't want CNN.
So CNN is in a very difficult, difficult position here.
They look like they're going to have a really different future.
Anyone that has worked in an office or anywhere else
for that matter, anyone that's had a job, you know,
when you get a new boss, the rules change. Twenty six,
(03:00):
CNN will be a different place. The rules are going
to change. It is going to become just a straight
news network, an anchor sitting at a desk telling you
the news. They are not gonna want these shenanigans that
happen on New Year's Even? Now? Do I think they
are charming and funny and naughty? And yes, I watch
and I laugh out loud. I'm a fan of the
(03:23):
Andy Cohen sloppy, messy, real housewife type of presenting. Gone
are the days of Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer and
really sort of dignified, elegant people on the news given
it to you straight. I now like this opinion driven
world that probably has got us into all the trouble
we're in today. However, Andy is so good at that
(03:46):
He's good at stirring the pot. He's good at reality TV.
He is a Wendy Williams type character, controversial, terrific, but
not for see an n not for a network that
wants to be taken seriously. CNN fired Don Lemon for
acting like Andy Cohen and then they hire Andy Cohen
(04:07):
to present to host their New Year's Eve special. There
is a disconnect there. This is not dumping on Andy,
it really isn't. It's just that is not who CNN is.
And over the past ten years or so that he's
hosted this show, they always turned a blind eye. They
always giggled a little bit. It was sort of funny.
It was a bit cheeky. But moving forward those days, agone,
(04:28):
they have new boss. They have a really strict news
boss is from Britain. I've known him or been around
him for a while. He's very very respected. Seeing in
are trying really hard, particularly because they're under so much
daily attack from politicians. They're trying really hard to just
play it straight. And this sort of behavior Andy drinking
(04:52):
and then attacking them. Theyre who has responded, by the way,
the Mayor of New York has responded with two words
to Andy Cohen's at Alcoholics Anonymous really now Andy too,
let's be clear, has had a lot of criticism pointed
at him by Bravo stars, saying he drinks, he does drugs,
(05:13):
he's unprofessional. Remember Brandy Glansville, who was a real housewife
of Beverly Hills. She said he tried to sext with
her one night. That's when you phone somebody and you
talk dirty. He tried to have phone sex with her
one night when he was her boss, and he has
since apologized for that. He has admitted that it happened.
Anybody else would be fired. If you've phoned up somebody
(05:36):
that worked for you, somebody that you employed, you're the
bloss boss. And if you've phoned up an employee and
suggested having three way sex, you would no longer have
your job. So Andy gets away with this behavior at Bravo.
Once again, Bravo encourages this really bad behavior. It's delicious
to watch, it's funny to watch. I get all of that,
(05:58):
but off camera not so funny. You can't expect the
housewives to behave badly on TV and then once the
cameras are off, suddenly they're angels. Doesn't work like that.
We've seen it. That's why so many housewives have been arrested,
have gone to jail, all sorts of awful things, file
for bankruptcy, just them terrible things. These are terrible people
that make great reality TV. Well, the fish rots from
the head down, and the fish and the head here
(06:21):
is clearly Andy and he is a genius messy, messy behavior.
If you want to know Andy Cohen who he really is,
watch he shows, Watch the Housewives. That's who he is.
Really fun to have drinks with once a month. But
do you want him as your best friend? Do you
want to take him home to meet your family? Do
you want him in an emergency? I don't know. And
so CNN is sort of figuring this out. He is
(06:43):
a bad look for c and N if CNN wants
to be respected, he's a great look for Bravo. I
get it. Brav's not going to fire him because he
is Bravo. When you look at Andy, everything he is
is Bravo. When you look at CNN, that is not
who want to be the Anderson Cooper who's a very different, complicated,
(07:04):
interesting person because he likes both worlds. Anderson lives in
the world of high and low, of tacky and elegance
of privilege, also pretending to be a regular guy too.
So it is complicated here, which brings us to our
pole question of the day. It looks like C and
Ann is ready to dump Andy Cohen? Are you ready
to dump himTo it's funny to watch. I've got to
(07:24):
admit I've watched some really, really funny clips today. But
if I ran a news network, if I wanted to
be respected, if you want to be respected in your life,
do you hang out with a clown? That's the question.
I think we know the answer. Hey, go votes on
our Twitter page at Naughty and Eyes Rob. Our facebook
page is Naughty Gossip and be sure to check back
(07:44):
on Monday to hear your results. We have some heartbreaking
news out of La. Tommy Lee Jones's daughter has been
found dead. Her name is Victoria. She was just thirty
four years old. So tragedy has struck Hollywood on New
Year's Day as Tommy Lee Jones's daughter, Victoria Jones, was
found dead in a luxury San Francisco hotel room at
(08:10):
the age of just thirty four. Emergency personnel responded to
a call just before three a m pronouncing Victoria dead
at the scene. Authorities and the medical examiner are investigating,
but her cause of death remains unknown for now. She
was born in nineteen ninety one and made her acting
(08:33):
debut in Men in Black Part two, which her dad
starred in as well, and although she stepped back from
the spotlight, she did occasionally turn upon a red carpet
with her dad. I once met her on a red
carpet that I was working in La Charming. Seemed a
little lost, wanted to be part of the Hollywood community,
(08:53):
felt as if she was always in her dad's shadow.
It's very difficult if your dad is Tommy Lee Jones,
one of the greatest actors of our generation, a real
star of the silver screen. If you want to be
an actress, if you want to be part of that business,
it's tricky when your dad is the best. Now it
also is very helpful. He's got connections and the Knepper
(09:15):
baby phenomenon that we've been talking about. It's been going
on forever, but recently it's been getting a lot of attention.
It all makes it so complicated, but just a really,
really sad story. We're going to find out more about
this I'm told by my sources that there is probably
going to be a revelation after revelation, I'm thinking drugs,
I'm thinking alcohol. It's just so so sad. Okay, moving along,
(09:36):
Kim Kardashian is saying she feels defeated after the worst
year ever. She's had a terrible year. So Kim had
a really desperate twenty twenty five, and sources are saying
that she feels quote defeated, exhausted after the toughest year
of her life, lots of personal sets backs, lots of
emotional strain. She failed the bar exam and this really
(10:01):
was a major blow to Kim's confidence, while the pressure
of raising four kids co parenting with her ex, the
very controversial Kanye West, has added to so much stress. However,
Inside has told me romance isn't helping either. Insiders claim
that Kim FIUs that she never has time or the
energy for a serious relationship, and there she'd love to
(10:22):
find love again. Friends say, the reality is really really hard.
Twenty twenty five was a rough year, wasn't it. I
have friends, I have relations family members who really struggled
financially with work, with lots of jobs going away with
the economy change and also too romantically. A few of
my single friends really find it difficult to meet good people,
(10:47):
and I think part of it is everything now is online.
Everything now is on the apps. Going to a bar
and meeting somebody, I think that's a thing of the past.
I'm so fortunate that I met Bruce thirty years ago.
That's how long we've been together, thirty years. And I
met him in a real sweet, sweet bar in Edinburgh, Scotland.
(11:07):
We actually met first at the Playhouse, a theater in Scotland,
and then we bumped into each other next door at
the bar where all the theater folks went, and that's
when we really hid it off. And I'm so lucky
because I just don't know if I would be the
right type, the right personality to deal, to negotiate, to
navigate all the dating apps. Are you doing that? Are
(11:30):
you on those apps? I'm not judging here. I hope
you are, because that's where you're going to meet somebody.
I don't quite know who you're going to meet there,
But then again, you never know who you're going to
meet in our bar. But the added technology to our lives,
it certainly has helped us in many, many ways. And
I'm so grateful for my computer and my phone and
podcasting now and TikTok videos. I'm doing my sub stack.
(11:52):
I'm so grateful for all this, all this newness, all
this new technology. But I'm also aware it comes at
a cost. I miss going to an office. You still
love going to an office. For fifteen years, I went
to an office five days, sometimes six days a week,
and I loved it. Some of my best friends, Delaya, Donnie,
Mark Lupo, I met them, Garrett from going to an office.
(12:16):
I worked with these people and they became really good friends.
Look at your friendship circle. I'm sure a lot of
them you've met at work. Well, Now, if you want
to get home all day, you never leave the house,
you're not going to meet You're not going to develop
those type of friends. So it's not just about romance,
it's about all relationships. Here. I think during twenty twenty six,
I'm going to make more of an effort to put
(12:37):
my phone down and go out and meet friends, meet people. Okay,
this story made me smile. J lo is shutting down
age shamers. She is fifty six years old, and she
said quote if you had this booty, you had been
naked to old, Jennifer s Jennifer, she's not dressing for
anyone but herself. She's kicked off her new Las Vei residency.
(13:01):
I was invited to go. I'm hearing New York. It
was just a bad timing, but I will go later
on in the year. She's fifty six years old and
the superstar. She clapped back when critics said she should
quote dress her age. How dare they so? She was
mocking online haters. On stage, she talks to her audience too.
I love that. I love pop stars, celebrities when you
(13:21):
go to see them live, they give you all the hits.
I want the hits. I don't want the new songs.
I want the hits. But then I want you to
talk to me. I want you to make fun with jokes.
I want to get to know you a little bit. Well.
Jennifer does that in her act. And she said people
are always asking her why are you always naked? And
she responded with a joke saying, if you had this booty,
you'd been naked too, And she shuck a bottom and
(13:41):
the place when nuts. Her mom was in the audience
having a brilliant, brilliant night. Caesar's Palace. There's a lot
of seats there. I think it's four maybe six thousand seats.
It's one of the largest celebrity venues in Los Angeles.
A lot of other stars are playing much smaller theaters,
even on the strip. Off the strip, Jlo's doing a
massive Ticket sales are phenomenal. They're really expensive though. I
(14:03):
went online to look at the tickets. Five hundred dollars.
I mean, who can pay that for one ticket? Not
too for one ticket. They're the seats in the orchestra, though,
they're really good seats. I'd sit way at the back,
I think, because I'm not paying that that sort of money.
But I'd love to see her. I've seen photographs of
the show. Jlo puts on a show. She has catoure,
she has costumes, she's half naked, she's shaking that fabulous bottom.
(14:25):
And so j Lo here is to ukay quickly before
we get a break. Timothy Shallomay I saw his new
movie last night, Marty Supreme, but went with Bruce and
our friend Karen. It was fantastic, but there is a
scene in there, a little racy scene where he bends over,
drops his underwear and his trousers, and has his bottom
paddled the ping pong bat. Now. He does play a
(14:46):
world famous ping pong player in the show, and there
is a funny scene, quiet here dramatic scene where he
is humiliated by a bunch of men and he is
asked to bend over. It's not sexual. These are straight
men who bend him over and w a smack his
bare bottom. I'm told he worn't on that scene for
hours and hours and hours. He refused to have a
button double. Kevin O'Leary from Sharp Tank of all People
(15:10):
is playing the character that spanks him. He whacked it,
and he whacked it hard. There is no stunt bottom
in that scene. It's a great movie, but also too
it's fun to see this one scene that everybody is
talking about. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break while
you're thinking about that, and we'll be back in a moment.
(15:32):
Welcome back to the Naughty but nine Show. I guess
now is a good time to thank all our sponsors.
The reason we can bring you this podcast five days
a week at zero cost, no cost. We're not behind
a pay well. Nobody's been asked to pay for this
is because of our advertisers. So is it to pain
in the bottom Timothy Shallama, Yes, to have to listen
to a few ads, I get it. I get it,
(15:53):
but let's always remember why they are there. They make
this possible. They allow us to bring you this show
at zero cost. Okay, let's get to the poll's lutter dull.
Last show we talked about how sloppy, how juicy, how
delicious twenty twenty five was in Celebrity Gossip? Are you
(16:14):
expecting an even juicier twenty twenty six for celebrities? Let's
have a lot you are? I think you're hopeful. Eighty
percent said yes, we're going to have a really good
celebrity juicy gossipy twenty twenty six. I hope you're right. Noughties, hey,
don't forget to vote on today's poll about Andy Cohen,
C and N it looks like it is at the end,
(16:35):
it was always a real odd fit. They try to
be serious, they try to be news, and he is
sloppy and he is reality TV. He is brather. There
is no truth to his shows, and News I think
has to have credibility. So it looks like it's ending
well do you think? Hey, go vote on our Twitter
page add Naughty nine rab Our Facebook page is Naughty
Gossip and be sure to check back on Monday to
(16:56):
hear your results. And now it's time for the nicest
of the day. And nicest of the day is France.
You know I love Paris or now the country France.
The nation is defending giving George Anna mult Clooney citizenship,
saying they contribute to culture. So George and them all
have officially joined the ranks are French citizens and Paris
(17:20):
is taking aim at all the criticism. The French government
said the power couple earned their citizenship because they contribute
through their distinguished actions to France's international influence and cultural outreach.
So when you become a citizen, when I became a
citizen of America, you have to go through very very
(17:43):
strict rules and you have to prove you bring in
something to the table. I had to prove that I
had a skill that the Americans do not have. It's
a very challenging things to do. It's much much harder
than what you think. It took me a long long
time to go through the legal process to become an American. Well,
George Clooney and a moll are doing the same thing.
They've done the same thing in France. They are now
(18:05):
officially French and the government is saying there was no shortcuts.
They didn't jump to the top. They've been going through
this for years. And it'd be hung to argue somebody
like George and a mole do not bring special skills.
What country wouldn't want to have George and a mole Clooney,
joy and there man, nicest of the day. I do
(18:26):
love it when your country's got your back. So there's
a lot of feelings about George leaving America. I understand that.
And immigration is such a hot potato issue, isn't it.
I try to stay away from all that stuff, but
I do love the thought here that your country, wherever
you are a citizen, your country has your back. I
(18:46):
like that. I would love to believe that America has
my back, and I believe it has yours too. Okay,
and naught is the day, naughty, naughty, naughty. Oh, this
is a tragic story, quite scary. Pink was hospitalized on
New Year's Eve for next surgery, so she kicked off
twenty twenty six, in a hospital bed. We know this
because she popped her selfie up, revealing that she's undergone
(19:09):
surgery to have two discs in her neck fixed. She said, quote,
she is funny. This may not be a fancy facelift,
but I'm getting two new, shiny discs in my neck.
She is a fabulous performer. She showed her a little
bit of her new scar, and she really is working
on getting well. If you've ever seen her live, you
(19:30):
know how physical her act is. We are sending you
our best and every other celebrity who is in hospital
right now, and not just celebrity, anybody, everybody who's in
hospital right now. Okay, let's end with a moment of Rabbi.
You get a ruby Rubbi. You rub. Your brain is
a recorder and it plays back whatever you say. Most
(19:53):
if you keep repeating to your brain that I'm stuck,
I'm bad at this, nothing ever works. Your brain treats
that as an instruction, and it looks for proof, not
because it's true, but because you told it so. So
be deliberate, choose a stronger story. Why don't you tell
your brain I'm great, I'm capable, I'm figuring things out
(20:15):
repeed it daily out loud if you can, even when
it feels fake. Your brain doesn't need belief to start working.
It needs repetition. Let me say that again. Your brain
doesn't need belief to start working. It needs repetition. The
story you repeat the most becomes the life that you live. Ah,
(20:39):
think about that today. Think about what you're telling your brain.
Think about what you're telling that recorder in your head.
Tell it good things and they will come true. Okay,
that is it for this week. Thank you so much

the new year. Happy twenty twenty six. It's just us today.
Corey is traveling having a vacation. Good for you, Cory.
So let's jump into as show. What time is it?
(00:30):
My friends? It is tea Time, big exclusive at the
top of the show. You're not gonna hear anywhere else.

the world of high and low, of tacky and elegance
of privilege, also pretending to be a regular guy too.
So it is complicated here, which brings us to our
pole question of the day. It looks like C and
Ann is ready to dump Andy Cohen? Are you ready
to dump himTo it's funny to watch. I've got to
(07:24):
admit I've watched some really, really funny clips today. But
if I ran a news network, if I wanted to
be respected, if you want to be respected in your life,
do you hang out with a clown? That's the question.
I think we know the answer. Hey, go votes on
our Twitter page at Naughty and Eyes Rob. Our facebook
page is Naughty Gossip and be sure to check back
(07:44):
on Monday to hear your results. We have some heartbreaking
news out of La. Tommy Lee Jones's daughter has been
found dead. Her name is Victoria. She was just thirty
four years old. So tragedy has struck Hollywood on New
Year's Day as Tommy Lee Jones's daughter, Victoria Jones, was
found dead in a luxury San Francisco hotel room at
(08:10):
the age of just thirty four. Emergency personnel responded to
a call just before three a m pronouncing Victoria dead
at the scene. Authorities and the medical examiner are investigating,
but her cause of death remains unknown for now. She
was born in nineteen ninety one and made her acting
(08:33):
debut in Men in Black Part two, which her dad
starred in as well, and although she stepped back from
the spotlight, she did occasionally turn upon a red carpet
with her dad. I once met her on a red
carpet that I was working in La Charming. Seemed a
little lost, wanted to be part of the Hollywood community,
(08:53):
felt as if she was always in her dad's shadow.
It's very difficult if your dad is Tommy Lee Jones,
one of the greatest actors of our generation, a real
star of the silver screen. If you want to be
an actress, if you want to be part of that business,
it's tricky when your dad is the best. Now it
also is very helpful. He's got connections and the Knepper
(09:15):
baby phenomenon that we've been talking about. It's been going
on forever, but recently it's been getting a lot of attention.
It all makes it so complicated, but just a really,
really sad story. We're going to find out more about
this I'm told by my sources that there is probably
going to be a revelation after revelation, I'm thinking drugs,
I'm thinking alcohol. It's just so so sad. Okay, moving along,
(09:36):
Kim Kardashian is saying she feels defeated after the worst
year ever. She's had a terrible year. So Kim had
a really desperate twenty twenty five, and sources are saying
that she feels quote defeated, exhausted after the toughest year
of her life, lots of personal sets backs, lots of
emotional strain. She failed the bar exam and this really
(10:01):
was a major blow to Kim's confidence, while the pressure
of raising four kids co parenting with her ex, the
very controversial Kanye West, has added to so much stress. However,
Inside has told me romance isn't helping either. Insiders claim
that Kim FIUs that she never has time or the
energy for a serious relationship, and there she'd love to
(10:22):
find love again. Friends say, the reality is really really hard.
Twenty twenty five was a rough year, wasn't it. I
have friends, I have relations family members who really struggled
financially with work, with lots of jobs going away with
the economy change and also too romantically. A few of
my single friends really find it difficult to meet good people,
(10:47):
and I think part of it is everything now is online.
Everything now is on the apps. Going to a bar
and meeting somebody, I think that's a thing of the past.
I'm so fortunate that I met Bruce thirty years ago.
That's how long we've been together, thirty years. And I
met him in a real sweet, sweet bar in Edinburgh, Scotland.
(11:07):
We actually met first at the Playhouse, a theater in Scotland,
and then we bumped into each other next door at
the bar where all the theater folks went, and that's
when we really hid it off. And I'm so lucky
because I just don't know if I would be the
right type, the right personality to deal, to negotiate, to
navigate all the dating apps. Are you doing that? Are
(11:30):
you on those apps? I'm not judging here. I hope
you are, because that's where you're going to meet somebody.
I don't quite know who you're going to meet there,
But then again, you never know who you're going to
meet in our bar. But the added technology to our lives,
it certainly has helped us in many, many ways. And
I'm so grateful for my computer and my phone and
podcasting now and TikTok videos. I'm doing my sub stack.
(11:52):
I'm so grateful for all this, all this newness, all
this new technology. But I'm also aware it comes at
a cost. I miss going to an office. You still
love going to an office. For fifteen years, I went
to an office five days, sometimes six days a week,
and I loved it. Some of my best friends, Delaya, Donnie,
Mark Lupo, I met them, Garrett from going to an office.
(12:16):
I worked with these people and they became really good friends.
Look at your friendship circle. I'm sure a lot of
them you've met at work. Well, Now, if you want
to get home all day, you never leave the house,
you're not going to meet You're not going to develop
those type of friends. So it's not just about romance,
it's about all relationships. Here. I think during twenty twenty six,
I'm going to make more of an effort to put
(12:37):
my phone down and go out and meet friends, meet people. Okay,
this story made me smile. J lo is shutting down
age shamers. She is fifty six years old, and she
said quote if you had this booty, you had been
naked to old, Jennifer s Jennifer, she's not dressing for
anyone but herself. She's kicked off her new Las Vei residency.
(13:01):
I was invited to go. I'm hearing New York. It
was just a bad timing, but I will go later
on in the year. She's fifty six years old and
the superstar. She clapped back when critics said she should
quote dress her age. How dare they so? She was
mocking online haters. On stage, she talks to her audience too.
I love that. I love pop stars, celebrities when you
(13:21):
go to see them live, they give you all the hits.
I want the hits. I don't want the new songs.
I want the hits. But then I want you to
talk to me. I want you to make fun with jokes.
I want to get to know you a little bit. Well.
Jennifer does that in her act. And she said people
are always asking her why are you always naked? And
she responded with a joke saying, if you had this booty,
you'd been naked too, And she shuck a bottom and
(13:41):
the place when nuts. Her mom was in the audience
having a brilliant, brilliant night. Caesar's Palace. There's a lot
of seats there. I think it's four maybe six thousand seats.
It's one of the largest celebrity venues in Los Angeles.
A lot of other stars are playing much smaller theaters,
even on the strip. Off the strip, Jlo's doing a
massive Ticket sales are phenomenal. They're really expensive though. I
(14:03):
went online to look at the tickets. Five hundred dollars.
I mean, who can pay that for one ticket? Not
too for one ticket. They're the seats in the orchestra, though,
they're really good seats. I'd sit way at the back,
I think, because I'm not paying that that sort of money.
But I'd love to see her. I've seen photographs of
the show. Jlo puts on a show. She has catoure,
she has costumes, she's half naked, she's shaking that fabulous bottom.
(14:25):
And so j Lo here is to ukay quickly before
we get a break. Timothy Shallomay I saw his new
movie last night, Marty Supreme, but went with Bruce and
our friend Karen. It was fantastic, but there is a
scene in there, a little racy scene where he bends over,
drops his underwear and his trousers, and has his bottom
paddled the ping pong bat. Now. He does play a
(14:46):
world famous ping pong player in the show, and there
is a funny scene, quiet here dramatic scene where he
is humiliated by a bunch of men and he is
asked to bend over. It's not sexual. These are straight
men who bend him over and w a smack his
bare bottom. I'm told he worn't on that scene for
hours and hours and hours. He refused to have a
button double. Kevin O'Leary from Sharp Tank of all People
(15:10):
is playing the character that spanks him. He whacked it,
and he whacked it hard. There is no stunt bottom
in that scene. It's a great movie, but also too
it's fun to see this one scene that everybody is
talking about. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break while
you're thinking about that, and we'll be back in a moment.
(15:32):
Welcome back to the Naughty but nine Show. I guess
now is a good time to thank all our sponsors.
The reason we can bring you this podcast five days
a week at zero cost, no cost. We're not behind
a pay well. Nobody's been asked to pay for this
is because of our advertisers. So is it to pain
in the bottom Timothy Shallama, Yes, to have to listen
to a few ads, I get it. I get it,
(15:53):
but let's always remember why they are there. They make
this possible. They allow us to bring you this show
at zero cost. Okay, let's get to the poll's lutter dull.
Last show we talked about how sloppy, how juicy, how
delicious twenty twenty five was in Celebrity Gossip? Are you
(16:14):
expecting an even juicier twenty twenty six for celebrities? Let's
have a lot you are? I think you're hopeful. Eighty
percent said yes, we're going to have a really good
celebrity juicy gossipy twenty twenty six. I hope you're right. Noughties, hey,
don't forget to vote on today's poll about Andy Cohen,
C and N it looks like it is at the end,
(16:35):
it was always a real odd fit. They try to
be serious, they try to be news, and he is
sloppy and he is reality TV. He is brather. There
is no truth to his shows, and News I think
has to have credibility. So it looks like it's ending
well do you think? Hey, go vote on our Twitter
page add Naughty nine rab Our Facebook page is Naughty
Gossip and be sure to check back on Monday to
(16:56):
hear your results. And now it's time for the nicest
of the day. And nicest of the day is France.
You know I love Paris or now the country France.
The nation is defending giving George Anna mult Clooney citizenship,
saying they contribute to culture. So George and them all
have officially joined the ranks are French citizens and Paris
(17:20):
is taking aim at all the criticism. The French government
said the power couple earned their citizenship because they contribute
through their distinguished actions to France's international influence and cultural outreach.
So when you become a citizen, when I became a
citizen of America, you have to go through very very
(17:43):
strict rules and you have to prove you bring in
something to the table. I had to prove that I
had a skill that the Americans do not have. It's
a very challenging things to do. It's much much harder
than what you think. It took me a long long
time to go through the legal process to become an American. Well,
George Clooney and a moll are doing the same thing.
They've done the same thing in France. They are now
(18:05):
officially French and the government is saying there was no shortcuts.
They didn't jump to the top. They've been going through
this for years. And it'd be hung to argue somebody
like George and a mole do not bring special skills.
What country wouldn't want to have George and a mole Clooney,
joy and there man, nicest of the day. I do
(18:26):
love it when your country's got your back. So there's
a lot of feelings about George leaving America. I understand that.
And immigration is such a hot potato issue, isn't it.
I try to stay away from all that stuff, but
I do love the thought here that your country, wherever
you are a citizen, your country has your back. I
(18:46):
like that. I would love to believe that America has
my back, and I believe it has yours too. Okay,
and naught is the day, naughty, naughty, naughty. Oh, this
is a tragic story, quite scary. Pink was hospitalized on
New Year's Eve for next surgery, so she kicked off
twenty twenty six, in a hospital bed. We know this
because she popped her selfie up, revealing that she's undergone
(19:09):
surgery to have two discs in her neck fixed. She said, quote,
she is funny. This may not be a fancy facelift,
but I'm getting two new, shiny discs in my neck.
She is a fabulous performer. She showed her a little
bit of her new scar, and she really is working
on getting well. If you've ever seen her live, you
(19:30):
know how physical her act is. We are sending you
our best and every other celebrity who is in hospital
right now, and not just celebrity, anybody, everybody who's in
hospital right now. Okay, let's end with a moment of Rabbi.
You get a ruby Rubbi. You rub. Your brain is
a recorder and it plays back whatever you say. Most
(19:53):
if you keep repeating to your brain that I'm stuck,
I'm bad at this, nothing ever works. Your brain treats
that as an instruction, and it looks for proof, not
because it's true, but because you told it so. So
be deliberate, choose a stronger story. Why don't you tell
your brain I'm great, I'm capable, I'm figuring things out
(20:15):
repeed it daily out loud if you can, even when
it feels fake. Your brain doesn't need belief to start working.
It needs repetition. Let me say that again. Your brain
doesn't need belief to start working. It needs repetition. The
story you repeat the most becomes the life that you live. Ah,
(20:39):
think about that today. Think about what you're telling your brain.
Think about what you're telling that recorder in your head.
Tell it good things and they will come true. Okay,
that is it for this week. Thank you so much
