Speaker 1 (00:09):
Ye Sure it's time. Hell Lo lo lo, love lo
love and love and love. Hello. Welcome to the Naughty
but Nice. I'm your host, drop Shooter. I'm feeling much
better today. I caught a summer cold, and yesterday I
croaked through the show, so thank you for bearing with me.
I had some lovely DMS emails notes from you saying

(00:29):
that I was a champion. I wouldn't go that far,
but I certainly hate to miss a show. We never
ever miss shows, and it's not because of you, naughties.
It's because of me. I enjoyed doing these shows so
much that I really miss you. On days that I
don't do it, I feel terrible. And so even on
a day with very little voice, I croaked through and

(00:52):
that's because I love you well. Today we are lucky.
It is not a solo show. Our friend is with us,
who is gonna help through today. My voice is much better,
not yet perfect, but it will be in a few days.
Doesn't matter that because we have a perfect voice today
in our friend Misty. Hey, Misty, are you there?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
I am, and I'm glad to hear you're feeling better
and I know what you're talking about because I feel
the same way.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
It's going around.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I just hate it when I miss the show because
I love the not so even if I have technical difficulty,
I take a couple moments I figure it out to
make it perfect for them.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let's jump into the show.
What time is it, my friends, it is it's tea time.
So Rosie O'Donnell has announced that she's returning to The View,
which isn't exactly true. Let me explain. So Rosie, who
certainly has loose lips, said that she would be heading
back for season thirty. Can you hand that the View

(01:53):
has been on the air for the thirty years. She said,
she'll do whatever they ask her to do. She'll come
on as a co She'll come on as I guess.
She's so looking forward to it. They're bringing back, she claims.
All the previous co hosts, well mindsiders at the View
said they know nothing about this and next year. Next
year is the thirtieth anniversary, and there will be a

(02:16):
lot of looking back. There'll be a lot of retrospectives
looking back at some of the biggest guests, some of
the biggest moments that show.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Is part of.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Cultural history.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
It has some major moments, and nothing is probably as
big as Rosie o'donald blowing up a Donald Trump and
Elizabeth Hasselbeck, So that will be part of the package
having come back, though that has not yet been decided.
I'm sure if they bring back all the co hosts
from the last thirty years that Rosie will be one

(02:46):
of them. But it is not the deal. She has
a famously rocky relationship with Whoopi Goldberg. They're not gonna
upset woopee. This is Whoopy's show. Also to Michelle Collins
member Michelle Collins, the comedian, she was on the show
for a for a moment. I've known her forever, very
very funny. She said, no one's invited her, and that's.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Because really, at the moment this is all being discussed,
it's all being put together. It's not a dud deal Rosy.
This is why she's such good TV, and also why
she's so problematic. She doesn't keep secrets. She shoots from
the hip. She says stuff that probably will happen. I

(03:27):
do think they will invite the old host bag that's
not that big a deal in television. Every anniversary they
have retrospectives. They do this, This is what television does.
If you're lucky enough to have been on TV for
thirty years, mister thirty years, they will be looking back
and obviously Rosie is a big part of that history,
so she will be included. She's not going back to

(03:50):
the view. You're going to see headlines the day that
she is returning, and you're going to think she's back
at the table as a full time panelist. That is
not happening. Will she be asked to stop by maybe? Yes,
I think she will, but probably not much more. What
do you think, mister you know TV?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Really well, this is I do what a way to
get yourself into the ticktock timeline today?

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Right?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Hashtag Rosie O'Donnell all the way? Okay, so, yes, as
you said, it's a thirtieth anniversary, there's no better way
to ensure that people tune in than to bring back
the most controversial hosts. As you've mentioned, she and Whoopee.
You know they kind of clash behind the scenes. They
both had dominant personalities. Well you saw it sometimes Rosie

(04:35):
was stepping on her toes as the moderator. But they
have said that they're very polite and public to one another,
you know, very corridial. So this makes a good move that, yes, Rosie,
sometimes you gotta you know, you got to keep an
under secret. You could have said, ooh, maybe there's a
chance I returned tease it. Now you put the production
in the position off we bring our back, right, She'll.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Say I was right.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
But again, good television is good television, and good ratings
are even better. So if Rosie's gonna bring up the raising,
bring up the ratings and she'll be back.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I think you're right. And I think this is confirmed
why they love her and why they don't. In one sentence,
she's told them why she must be back on the show,
because she's getting headlines today like nobody else. But at
the same time, she is a lot to manage. In fact,
she's unmanageable, and that's why I think she's such good TV.
She won't listen to the rules. If you can be both,

(05:31):
if you could be nordy ad nisy, if you can
be a little cheeky but not break all the rules,
I think that you're gonna probably have a longer career
on those shows. But I saw Rosie a couple of
weeks ago, she was in New York doing her one
woman's show. I got invited to that, and then I
went backstage to say hello to her. She looks great.
She's had that lower facelift. She looks great. And I said,
you're coming back, aren't you? And she giggled away and

(05:54):
she rolled her eyes and I said, Rosie, you're doing
a one woman's show. You're filling in for Jimmy. Now
you're talking about going back on the view.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
You were looking.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
And she did tell me that if she did come
back to daytime TV, she wouldn't want a celebrity show.
She'd like lots of human interests, lots of games. And
the fact that she'd thought it through to that detailed
mist that, the fact that the details were in her
mind tells me there might be a Rosy o' donald's

(06:24):
show in her future. It won't be big massive anymore,
might be a streaming show. It might be a show
even on YouTube. Meghan Kelly took a carson. They all
have their shows, don lemon, they're all on YouTube now.
So no, this is not going to go anywhere. But
I don't think she's gonna get a full time seat
back at that it'd be the third time. Come on twice,

(06:46):
They're not going to do it a third time. Stranger
things have happened, which brings us to our pole question
of the day. Rosie Donnell is saying that she will
return to the View. They're not so sure for its
thirtieth anniversary. Will you watch now? I know here that
you're gonna say no, we don't, But come on, everybody
likes a little bit of drama, a little bit of

(07:07):
a trade wreck. Will you watch? Go votes on our
ex page, at Twitter page at Naughty Nice rob. Our
facebook page is Naughty Gossip. I'm sure to check back
tomorrow to hear your results. Hey mister, what are you
working on that?

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Okay, people, put down your forks. There's no peach pie
just yet.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
So a lot of people are saying that Nini Leaks
is returning to the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now it
just ended at its explosive seventeenth season, Oh my goodness,
Drew Sidor and Ky Michelle. But nobody has penhanded a
peach je yet for the next season, and some people

(07:50):
were thinking that Shamia Morton, she just announced that she
and her husband are expecting a child, that she wasn't
coming back.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
And Kelly Farrell, who's above the same me that has
been invited back. But this is not true. This is
what my sources are telling me. Now we have seen Nini.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
She's on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Baring twentieth
which is coming on this weekend, which is why people
are thinking she's coming back for you know, full time
season eighteen. It's true, you're gonna have to wait until
after the three part reunion of season seventeen, which starts
this weekend, and that in itself is going to be explosive.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
I know you you know a little Bravo he ees.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Bravo never makes a decision to after the reunion. So
anybody that tells you they're coming back before a reunion
just isn't telling you the truth. That reunion is like
a gladiator competition. You have to fight for your job
and if you put on a show at that reunion
and if you leave questions unanswered, you'll be back. And
so that reunion is really really important, and let's be honest,

(08:53):
Nini is problematic. Nini has accused Andy personally and Bravo
of some real damaging, really serious complaints that gives them pause. Yes,
they love train Wreck TV. But you can't bite the network.
One senior executive a Bravo told me once you can

(09:14):
go after the other women. In fact, we encourage you
attack them. Be vile, scream and shout makes great Bravo TV.
But the minute you bite the network, the minute you
use the same tactics on the network, and when I
say the network, Andy, is the network here? Then it

(09:35):
is over. It's tricky, isn't it, Because if you reward
bad behavior, if I keep rewarding you for being just awful,
then eventually you're gonna bite me. You will bite me eventually,
and that's what NMI has done.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah. Well you have to think about this.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
You're being rewarded bad behavior for one job, and your
job is to stir the pot with yes, well you're
on the show with or maybe stir the part with
people on the French. In no playbook does it say
in any job history of man and woman does it
say go after your bars will get you a promotion?

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Just not GNA.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
I love when you spell it, act yourself right. Okay,
Moving along.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Ariana Grande stopped her show last night in Chicago, and
she insists that she's taken a break on her own terms.
We broke this story yesterday today on my substack. Right now,
I have a breaking story about Ariana Grande robshooter dot
substack dot com. Check it out. So she set the
record straight during her show. It was a four minute
speech she gave in Chicago, and she told fans that

(10:41):
she has decided to step back after this tour ends,
but it was carefully planned. This was not spur of
the moment, and the headline she thinks have been a
little overstated. She said, can we get a little real?
And she said that the move was thoughtful and empowering
and that online negativity hasn't defied her reality. Now, the

(11:01):
problem that she has here is that in her PR
statement they clearly said she's stepping back because of public scrutiny.
At the moment, she has a new video out where
she looks very, very thin, and there's been a lot
of debate about that. Then two days later this happens.
So Arianna, I believe you here when you get up

(11:22):
on stage and tell your story. I want to believe it.
But I want to ask you too, why two days
ago did your PR people say something quite different? And
so who do we believe here? Is it the team?

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Is it her?

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Something's going on this day. You don't cancel a huge
West End debut in a Stephens song time musical. This
isn't some silly dukebox musical. This is the type of
a musical that wins you awards. It comes to New
York and you win a Tony Award. It's that big
a deal. It's smart, it's sophisticated. Actresses and actors would
kill to be in this show Sunday in the Park

(11:58):
with George. Something has happened here. My substat explains it
a little more. But I don't think you can have
it both ways. You can't put out a statement saying
you're basically stepping back because of public scrutiny. Then that explodes,
Then rumors fill the void, and you don't like the rumors,
and now you try to set the record straight. This
is just a botched PR message.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, it might have been better if she hadn't said
anything at this test. Yeah, you know, plan something, Sit down.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
With Obrand and explain that you you needed a break.
You know, twenty twenty five was a rough year.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
You know, we had Wicked for Good. It didn't get
a lot of great reviews. She went through a breakup.
She is looking extremely thin, and you know what, girlfriend just.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Might be tired. I mean, it is exhausting.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
And if we know anything, that's incredibly difficult as a musical.
You're performing eight shows a week. People, if you miss
one note, people are going to talk about that. It's
gonna it's going to be around for years. So maybe
my girlfriend just need, you know, an apple and a nap,
and that is fine, and you know, you don't necessarily

(13:10):
need to explain it right away. I think if she
had just gone away planned it to sit down, maybe
put a little meat on them bones, girl, just a
little bit, you know, and exhaustion will do that to you,
will It'll make.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
You very thin?

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, then and then told your story when you were
ready six months from now. Smarter, I think people would
have been okay with.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
That, smartervice. And we are going to see her, hopefully
in November, because she has meets the focus coming out.
She's in that, so the film's done, she's not on set,
but will she do any pr for it? I think
I hope that she's feeling well enough that she feels
like she can do it. Then, okay, mister, quickly, before
we get a break. We have a new king of
the box office. What am I talking about?

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Okay, so we are talking about Spider Man brand new day.
It is the biggest opening weekend of all time, all time. Yes,
it made three hundred million overtaking Avengers end Games long
standing record. Of course, this makes Marvel very very happy
because another one of their movie amazing and it's just

(14:11):
going to be making money over money now. Of course,
people will be watching for Avengers Doomsday out this December
to see if.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
Doomsday beats their record.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yes, because if the Avengers can reclaim their spot.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
I don't know, it's title like Doomsday.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
You want it to be good, You want it to
be good. Hey, fingers go quickly before we get a break.
There's lots of buzz that Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid
are married. They were spotted in Paris wearing rings on
those fingers. These two are so smart. They've been together
since twenty twenty three, so three years they've been together.
They made no effort to hide the new jewelry. They
know what they're doing. I'm going to go out here,
on a limb. I spoke to one source today who

(14:50):
said they are married. So you heard in me. Yeah,
there's nobody's willing to report it yet they're inner. Cirtle
is very very tight. They're pr people. Their management, nobody
is responding. I spoke to a friend this morning who said, yes,
they are, which is the opposite way to tie the
knot than their friend Taylor Swift, who literally got married

(15:11):
at Madison Square cart They, I believe, did something very
very low key. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break,
but we will bring right back. Welcome back to the
Naughty but Nice Show. I'm your host, Rob Shooter with
their dear friend Missy. Hey, Missy, let's get to the polls.
DA last show, we talked about Ariana Grande hitting pause

(15:35):
on her career. She's stepping back after quote months of
body scrutiny. They said this not not not any not
not me. They said this, Did she do the right thing?
Eighty five percent said yes, if you need to take
a break, it doesn't matter if you work on a podcast,
a movie set, a TV show, and a shop and
a chemist and a bank. You take care of yourself.

(15:58):
Nobody else is going to do it. Hey, don't forget
to vote on today's poll. Go to our ex page
at Twitter page a Naughty nice Rob a Facebook page
He's naughty gossip and be sure to check back Tam
Morow to hear your results are Now it's time for.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Nices of the day. This may be the strictest of
the day.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
And I'm talking about Clint Eastwood because he will not
accept behavior what he's working on and be on a
movie and we're talking about a perfect world. Back in
nineteen ninety three, So Kevin Cosner starred in the movie
and when he wouldn't leave his trailer, Clinton calmly told
the crew send him home. This was told by his
son Scott Eastwood. So he was reminded that, you know,

(16:48):
they needed Kevin for the scene. And the Hollywood legend
repeated his statement. So Kevin was sent home for the
day and actually written out of the scene.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
They didn't lose no money, they wrote him out of
the good for him.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
So the message was crystal clear, no actor is bigger
than the movie got and Scott shared that Kevin arrived
on the set the next really ready and willing to work.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
A little tough, love, a little tough love, not going
to give you anything right. Any other director would have
got in trouble, but Clint has the power to do it.
And nicest of the day and now Annautics of the Day.
It is another Scott Eastwood story. He did a podcast
and he dropped so much tea we're breaking it down
for you. He called Shire Labeuf a sociopath. So remember

(17:34):
he said he worked with an A list actor and
he was just awful and rude and he wanted to
whoop him. Now we know who that actor is. It's
Shia Labeuf. They made Fury together and he called him
a nightmare. Saying enough is enough, he threatened to whoop
him in and things got so bad that Brad Peter,
who's that movie too, had to step in and calm
down a confrontation. In the end, he said, grow the

(17:57):
f up, oh Shire. Let's end with a moment of rob. Yeah,
you get a rob. You get a rob, You get
a rob, You get a rob. Today's Rob is about
finding your happiness. You gotta find your happiness and only
you are gonna be able to find it. So if
you're waiting for somebody else to come along and make
you happy, isn't gonna happy happen? To know the easiest way, Misty,

(18:21):
to find happiness. You write down a list of all
the things that make you happy. Write it down today,
three or four things that make you happy. I love
walking my doggie. I love meeting you for drinks. I
love hanging out with Bruce. I love listening to musicals.
I like going to see plays and shows. Write a
list of things that make you happy, and then do them.
That's how you make yourself happy. Do them, and then

(18:44):
we've got to say before we go, because we'd be
in this if we didn't. Today's Megan Mockle's forty fifth birthday.
Mindside has telling me the King we'll probably reach out.
He has impeccable manners. He has been brought up to
follow the rule, and so the King will definitely reach out.
As far as William and Kate, my sources tell me,

(19:07):
expect them to remain silent and there'll be no public acknowledgment.
They don't do that for people who are no longer
working Royal, so the Palace won't acknowledge it on social media. However,
Kate and William privately, they've got her email, they've got
her phone number, they could text her. My sources tell
me things are still very very fractured and the trust
between the Sussexes and the Wales has yet to be repaired.

(19:31):
So happy birthday, Mega Markel. Expect an email from the King,
but I don't think you're going to be getting guan
from William and Kate. Hey, that is it for today.
Thank you so much for listening to the Naughty but
Nice with Robin Miss d We are a production of
Alvias Duran and iHeartRadio. Don't forget to follow me on
