Speaker 1 (00:03):
PHPR one and only famous Perez Hilton.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
My friends, welcome to our PHP booker here. Perez there,
how do you do well?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I always love doing this show, but today I love
it for more reasons than normal, because variety is a
spice of life, and we're talking about folks that we
don't often talk about on the show. We're gonna get
to Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Harry Styles, the Backstreet. Oh my god.
It's like, oh my god, it's like a TRL flashback.
(00:43):
I know my demo. I guess, I guess Harry Styles
is the youngster. Also that up and comer Taylor Swift,
we're going to talk about her too, and a Blake
Lively confession exclusive exclusive. But first, you know, I often
like to start off the show with sad news and
(01:04):
then we work our way towards more positive things. You know,
I'm a little bit of a drama queen.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You don't say, but.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
This does feel like a death. I was truly saddened
to read this past week the announcement that, after thirty
four years, E News has been canceled again. What do
you mean again?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I feel like that's the third time it's been canceled.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
It has.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, they canceled it before then they brought it back
and no, but no.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
No, no, they didn't cancel it before. They moved it
to New York City and then they moved it back
to LA.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I don't know. I think they canceled it and then
they brought it back. Really pretty sure, I think, yeah,
I think so. You know. My joke about that is
there are more girls that want to be on E
News than there's actually watchers of E News. Oh, No,
one watches that fucking channel. It's just a dead channel.
Why now, So it's been insignificant for years, and you
(01:59):
know it's got a big budget. I know some people
that work over there, really nice people on the show,
but you know, no one gives a shit.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
After the Kardashians left, they were ahead of the game,
jumping ship there. Yeah, all right, before we get to anything, really,
all good with you? Anything exciting, great weekend?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Nothing new to report?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
All right, well I do have some things to report. First,
if you're coming to Vegas, Holy hell, I'm gonna try
to keep this to thirty seconds. I saw this phenomenal
immersive theatrical experience at Mandalay Bay called Bob Marley Hope Road.
And if you would have asked me if I was
a Bob Marley fan going into this, I would have
(02:40):
said no, but leaving it, I definitely am. It's like, Wow,
I know so many of these songs and just because
growing up I never bought them doesn't mean I'm not
a fan, Like I'm such a fan now and what
a just exceptional production. No kidding, Even if you're not
a Bob Marley fan, this is Broadway caliber. I cannot
stop up raving about this show, Bob Marley Hope Road.
(03:03):
And also this weekend I took my kids to go
see the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere, and I will
also try to keep this short. What's so special about
Backstreet Boys at the Sphere is you get two shows
for the price of two shows. I mean, it's not cheap,
(03:27):
but you get your money's worth because it's a full
on Backstreet Boys concert and it's a show at the Sphere. Also,
like what I mentioned a moment ago with regards to
Bob Marley, you don't have to know the Backstreet Boys
songs to fully love this show. And you know, my
kids are fricking twelve and seven. They didn't know the
(03:50):
Backstreet Boys dis Yeah, but they genuinely loved the show.
The visuals epic, the sound epic and everything. It's like
when I saw it, did you did you end up
going to see YouTube?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You know. I was surprised that a good amount of
You two shows show was minimal with regards to the visuals,
like especially the middle part. Yeah, the Backstreet Show, they
utilized the full space and the screen and the design
every to the max, like everything, even like the ballads,
like everything. There's not a single boring aspect of the show.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
It's spectacular.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I can't recommend it of I mean, the Sphere is
just something in itself, I know, because it's just it's
beyond imagination. And it's the guy that I guess that
owns the Garden owns the Sphere, and he poured it's
like his life work into that idea and it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I could have probably went to see The Dead there,
whom I couldn't care less about, but I bet I
would have liked it because it's just that true, so interesting.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I had that same thought because there's been a lot
of shows at the Sphere that after You Two, that
didn't go to because I'm like, I don't care about
Kenny Chesney, I don't care about the Dead, I don't
care about the Eagles. Sorry, I don't care about the Eagles.
But I'm gonna try to get tickets to everybody else
from now on because it's just the experience of it
is so epic. And at one point the stage literally
(05:17):
flew halfway up into the sky. Really yes to the
next level. And the last thing that I said, I
was gonna make it breathe. The chairs vibrated a lot
of points like that's how immersive and four D of
it everything was. Wow, it was so synced. You two
had that technology, they just didn't use it. Yeah, so cool,
(05:38):
so cool, all right. Also, speaking of concerts in Las
Vegas this weekend, Beyonce wrapped up her Cowboy Carter show
on Saturday night and Fudge Man, I would have hated
to have been in the show on Friday because Friday
just got the regular show, But Saturday Night's show got
(05:59):
Jay's and it got the fucking Destiny's Child reunion.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
How electric?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Wasn't Shaboozie there too?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
He might have, but that didn't make it to my feed.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Oh gotcha? Okay, yeah, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yes, oh my god, poor Chaboozie. Though I did not
hear about that until you just told me. You know,
it's awesome and it's electric. But at this point, as
an og Destiny's Child fan, is it almost insulting to
keep bringing out the girls like once every five years
(06:33):
or so and not do a proper reunion.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I guess you'd have to ask the girls.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Fuck the girls.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It's for the fans, okay, But I'm just wondering maybe
the girls don't want to do it.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Oh please, you know Kelly and Michelle want to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I gotta agree with you, I would think, because I
don't know, it makes such headlines when it happens. If
it happened all the time, you'd be like, eh, okay,
seen it, saw it.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
So I don't know they want to do it, But
I mean it was awesome, It was special, and I
almost regret not going. But I just hate stadium shows.
The last stadium show I saw there was pink Well,
what was it? T mobile?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Right? No?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
No, no, T mobile is easier allegiant. It was at
the stadium.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh, it was at the football stadium. I didn't realize that.
I thought it was T Mobile. Well, I don't know.
Allegiance still somehow a little bit more intimate than like
even a Sofi. It feels five times smaller than so
Fi to me, like so far you're completely disconnected completely.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's everything is more complicated. It's like the show is bigger,
the site lines are worse. And also, like I thought
when I went to go see Pink, oh, you know,
I'm gonna be smart. I'm just gonna show up like
really late, like just a few minutes before she goes on,
and all the fucking parking was full. I couldn't find
a parking spot.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It takes an hour to get into that place and
to walk across the fucking bridge or whatever it is.
That's what I had to do last time.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I was like, this is a yeah, exactly exactly, like
I never have an issue with that.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I didn't think that out very well.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I could tell I never had to have a problem
with that going to a concert at the Team Mobile arena,
so whatever. Anyways, I saw video clips, It's all good,
and like in.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Two years you'll think you were there, you know what
I mean. There's just so much coverage online with everything now.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Blake Lively, I was up until three thirty in the
morning finalizing my motion to quash her subpoena against me
and I exclusive for the podcast. Maybe it's because I'm
so fucking exhausted, but I woke up this morning questioning
(08:42):
my decision. The only reason I'm questioning things is I
don't give a fuck if they get whatever they get
from me. I just didn't want them to get shipped
from me because I don't like her. I didn't want
to make this process easy for her.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Well, they're just trying to do discovery. They just want
to know the truth. And the truth is you have
just reported on what everyone's reporting on. That's what I
don't understand outside of that point.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
So, like, I'm not going to get into the whole
all of the arguments that I made in my motion
to quash, but like just reporter privilege alone, I think
my motions should be quashed, Like, yeah, my thing is protected.
Another one of the things that I objected to was
all of the shit they're asking of me. They can
get from Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer defendants, they can
(09:30):
get from actual parties to this litigation. There's no need
to circumvent the discovery process by trying to get it
from me when you can get it from actual parties
to this lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
They want to be a pain in your ass.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
That's weaponizing discovery, that's weaponizing the legal system, and courts
frown upon that.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I still think it's a fishing expedition. It is because
I know I'm privy to everything, and I must say
that the audience knows about as much as we know,
except for your sources on things. But that's between you
and your.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
To circle back on what I said, you know, the
only reason I'm regretting it is like over the last week,
I spent so much fucking time on this, Like it
took it took so much energy and so much attention
away from my regular job. Was it all worth it?
Because I just wanted I wanted to not make it
easy for her because she doesn't legally I don't think
hersuspoena is valid, and also I want to get attention,
(10:23):
like I want to make her go through all these
motions and this and that. But I'm like, at the
end of the day, I spent so much.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Time and she has deep pockets, you don't, Oh, well.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So that's that. Do you have any questions about my
motion to quash Not really, I would imagine.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I would like to quash this subject.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
All right. Let's move on now to Justin Timberlake, who
over the last week has gone very viral because of
multiple concert clips. So people have been criticizing Justin Timberlake
for low effort at his concerts this summer, for this
move where he has the audience sing most of the song. However,
(11:03):
I'm not even a big Justin Timberlake fan. But the
thing about me and why I love myself so much,
one of the many reasons, one of the many many
reasons is I don't have to like somebody to defend them,
And what I care about is the truth. All of
these videos, they're different shows, he's wearing different clothes, but
(11:25):
they're all the same fucking song. It's clearly a stake
and a thing that he does during this one song.
So I'm not bothered if it's that one song. Who
gives a fuck? If he was doing that during every
single song, that would be a different situation. But from
what I've seen, because I've seen so many viral clips,
it's all that one song. I'm looking am I haven't
(11:50):
made right. It's that one song.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I take you and I know what the internet does.
You know what I mean, Like fans are have even
leaned into more of what you just said. It's just
part of the show that he hands it over to
the audience because quite frankly, they like to sing that
part of the song. I just listened to you do it.
So he figured that out. Now, when you present something
to somebody and you say, look how lazy this is,
(12:14):
and look how low effort this is, and how whatever
people are easily misled. You could put an opinion in
somebody's head and you can manipulate people pretty easily into
thinking what you want them to think. And that's what
the Internet does in so many different cases. And this
is just another example of it. To your point, like
you don't have to like or hate justin Timberlake, it's
(12:35):
like everybody just likes having an opinion. And look, I
think we can all agree. He has a certain level
of ick on him at all times because he comes
across thisshy. He just he does. You know, this is
less than nothing. It's part of a show. And congratulations
on getting some traction to tell people you were on
tour again, because, to be honest with you, I didn't
(12:56):
even know he was touring again. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I mean a couple of things. It still bonkers to
me that we've gotten to a place where justin Timberlake
is so disliked and it's been like this for a
while now, and this tour has actually been going on
for a while now too. What's crazy is that this tour,
this is just the latest controversy, the latest drama, the
(13:22):
latest backlash against it. There have been so many other ones,
from oh he's so old and he dances like a dad,
to oh my god, the show's not selling well, poor
ticket sales, like it's been perpetually plagued, this outing of
his Yeah, and despite all of that, I still don't
(13:42):
know if he's going to give people the fucking InSync
reunion that they want. Right, it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, you're right, there's like really nothing else dad to it.
It's the internet doing Internet things. And you know, if
you can't see that he's disliked, I don't know what
Internet you're paying attention to. But a lot of people
just don't like him. Start out being really loved and
then your personality infiltrates for so long and then you say,
he's just so full of himself and just so like
(14:09):
Icky and catch us up with you. Sometimes it's hard
to be universally loved all the way through your career.
It's like, you got to have the j Lo's, you
know what I mean, You got to have the not
the lows, the j Lo's. Yeah, So that's exactly what
this is.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
And on the flip side, you know what, I want
to point something out that I don't think I've mentioned
once at all on our podcast for a while there.
Whenever this began, Paris Hilton's rebrand was initially, in my opinion,
very calculated. It began with that documentary, the last one
(14:43):
that she did. She's actually done like three or four documentaries,
but the last documentary that she did she opened up
about the abuse that she suffered at that boarding school
in Utah. But ever since then, that calculated move sparked
something inside of her that, in combination with becoming a mother,
(15:03):
after that, she's just changed. She's grown up and matured
and become a very different person. And I fucking love
this version of Paris Hilton who continues to show up
for others like she really has been helping people in
so many different ways from the wildfires to this to that,
and kudos to her. Like I love life, I love
(15:25):
seeing people evolve, and same with Lindsay Lohan, like seeing
all this freaky or Friday promo and this version of
Lindsay and like seeing her have this happy ending after.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Living through many tumultuous years. Yeah eras Yeah, back to
the point of Jay Low's you can have the Jay
highs too, and it's just part of being celebrity. If
you stick around long enough, some people will go, I'm
not even sure why I dislike this person in the
first place, as long as you're not like a perpetual
shit all the time, and Paris Hilton isn't. She has
(15:56):
definitely had her pukish moments and I have leaned into
that many a time, and she just comes off like
an idiot. But to your point, right, she's out there
doing nice stuff and she has seemed to have rebranded
and she I don't know, she takes her you know
DJ thing seriously, it's not even air quotes. She knows
what she's doing.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
That's what I was getting at, more than rebranding. Like
now I believe it's all real.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, well, you do it long enough, and you lean
into it long enough, right, people will believe you. They'll go, Okay,
you are legit, but we're gonna ride your ass like
Zoro until you are legit. And they did, and you know,
and there she is so good for her, she's still hot.
I just saw her in like a she's like in
a Carl's Junior commercial. Here again with Tate McCrae or
one of those idiots, and hey, I like Tate once again.
(16:39):
To my point, someday I'll be like, that girl's awesome.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Well, I've always liked Tate mc Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I've disliked it from the beginning because where it comes
from social media, and that just constantly gives me the X.
But I will have to acquiesce and say she's doing
an incredible job because she has an a fan base
and people like her and she's not an asshole.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, she's truly talent though. She sings, she dances, and
she writes her own music.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
All I see is and I you know, I don't
know if I'm going to lean into talented, but I'll
just say I like when I see someone really give
it their all, and she's definitely doing that, so I
can respect that.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Well, we were going to talk about her later on
in the show, but let's mention her now. Actually she
this is probably not on your radar because you're not
the demo. But for the last I forget the exact
amount of time, but for a while now, she's been
dating Kid Leroy, the Australian musician. Unfortunately they just broke
up though. Also we just mentioned a moment ago you
(17:38):
did Jennifer Lopez, and I also have her on my
list for today. J Low Happy belated birthday. She just
had a birthday. She turned i think fifty six. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
To celebrate her birthday, released a new song called Birthday.
I'm gonna guess you haven't heard it yet.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
No, I read that her label dropped her. That's what
I read.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Oh no, did they say that?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I did see that. Oh well, it is what it is.
It might have something to do with the music not
being that good. The song just feels like something AI created,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Maybe it was.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Like it's not bad, but it just feels like like
an homage, like a caricature, like a pastiche like it
just feels so reductive.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Okay, it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
On the flip side, Jennifer Lopez's longtime nemesis, Mariah Carey,
released a new song that I do really like. It's
called Sugar Sweet. But holy fuck Mariah's team and she
because at the end of the day, who's the one,
you know, sailing that ship who calls the shots?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
She's Mariah.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah, so fucking lazy they have a song. I mean,
I don't think it's a hit, but I think it's good.
And you understand the difference.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yeah, it's like it's not a hit because also she's
like probably like right around Jlo's age, you know, and
it's really hard to get a hit at that age, sadly,
but it's actually a good song, and it's disappointing the
low effort put into this. They couldn't even be bothered
to release a lyric video, so instead they just put
(19:20):
up the song on YouTube with an image, a static photo.
But here's like the worst part, right, Like, you can't
even put a lyric video up, so you're just gonna
put up a static image with the audio, and they
couldn't even title the video. Well, right, they literally just
said sugar Sweet, and I think they listened to me.
(19:42):
I texted because I cared so much. I texted somebody
that I know who's connected to Mariah and I'm like,
this is so lazy. This video is just titled sugar Sweet.
It doesn't even have her fucking name in the headline.
Can they at least add her name in the headline
so when people search the song it'll show up, right,
(20:02):
And they did. Oh good, lady Jesus Christ. All Right,
some more music news. Harry Styles has gotten folks talking
with his latest business venture. He's got this lifestyle brand
called Pleasing, which sells a bunch of different products, and
now he sells a vibrator. Hmm, you can get your
(20:27):
own Harry Styles vibrator. Ladies.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Well, I'm just gonna say, what a smart business move,
because I didn't know he had a lifestyle brand and
we do this fucking show every week. I had no idea.
Now I do feels very Gwyneth Paltrow goopy ish when
you put goofy things up online for people to talk about,
fodder whatever, and this is that. So it's really smart
if you ask me.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah, he sells vibrator and it's sold out. I mean
it might be the whole Megan markle of it all,
like you know, limited quantities or whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Then again, that could be tenthous of him from China.
Who knows he's got a fan base and it's funny
to own one. They should put his face on it.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah. The vibrator, this is this is what's crazy. Holy fuck.
I'm looking at their website now. The sold out vibrator
sells for sixty eight dollars. He also is selling lube,
which is also sold out. Lube for twenty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
He sells a bunch of other products, but the vibrator
sixty eight dollars. Do you want to guess how much
his fragrance sells.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
For one hundred and fifty bucks one hundred and thirty
five dollars?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
What the fuck?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Who's gonna spend one hundred and thirty five dollars that?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
What does he pee in every bottle?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Jesus Christ, that's crazy. He sells lip balm. Also, if
you want, he sells totes, he sells nail Paulish, he
sells merch Jesus, he sells a handbag. Oh my god,
he sells a handbag for one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Fuck.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Wow to be an a list musician.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Amen the money raising.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yeah, all right, some couples news. Tom Cruise and his
co star Anave Admas were spotted at the Oasis concert
in London and they were seen holding hands.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Although they've repeatedly denied that they are more than just
co stars, they're just co stars. Yeah, okay, but I
don't know if I believe that. Also, speaking of movie stars,
Adam Sandler just premiered the new Happy Gilmore movie. Is
it officially out on Netflix?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, it's on Netflix. It came out Friday.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Okay, so it's out already. Did you watch it?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
No, I've just heard too much about it. It's a
typical too many cameos week on the script. Maybe if
I'm really drunk and board one night, I'll put it
on just for nostalgia reasons. But it's hard to capture
that the youth of Adam Sandler making those young movies.
They were so good.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Well, one of the many people who had I think
not even a cameo, like a larger than a cameo
appearance in the movie. Nicki Bella took to social media
to reveal that all of her lines in the movie
were cut, and she found out about it while watching
(23:25):
the movie during the premiere. Oh brutal, and she felt
humiliated because she had just done the Red carpet talking
about her character.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Oh boy, let.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Me read to you. Let me read to you what
she said. You know many of you know Nicki Bella
from WWE and from her reality show. She says, I
remember hearing a few months ago that twenty minutes had
to be cut out, and I'd been praying it wouldn't
be my stuff. It was my stuff. All my talking
scenes got cut, not just mine, but the whole group
(24:02):
of people I filmed, with the characters I had to
work with. Most of our funny scenes were taken out.
I found out while I was sitting there watching it.
I'm not gonna lie inside. I was really bummed and devastated.
I'm sure red faced. You know that feeling when you're
just like, oh my gosh. I was sad. I wish
(24:24):
I knew before, especially since I had done media right
before that and was talking about my character, and then
you don't even end up knowing my name Nikki Bella.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I love the honesty there, though, you really do, and
it sucks like Sandler probably didn't even know.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Although somebody knew. Shouldn't they had, They should have let
her know before the red carpet.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You're right, I mean, I'm kind of shocked that maybe
your agent wouldn't get a call or something to the
effect of, hey, remember all those lines you had, they're gone.
Just heads up so you don't have egg on your face.
Kind of a i'd move on Sandler's part, a little
bit of egg on his face for that.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Well, somebody who definitely was not cut out of the
film is Travis Kelcey. I was curious if you watched
so you could let us know if he's any good
in the movie.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Well, I saw the clip that he was in, and
it just seems goofy to me. They're putting honey on
his chest or something. It just seems it's funny. That
scene is what made me say, I'm probably not gonna
watch this movie. This looks terrible.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
That's not good.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Well, it's just too many, like I said, cameos, and
I like movies with actors that can actually act and
put a plot out there for me to follow. I
just I kind of knew what this was gonna be
And I love Sandler and I don't want to throw
like any shade his direction. But you know, all these
Netflix movies, you know, they haven't been that good. Now.
There have been like the Basketball when he made, which
was phenomenal, the one about gambling phenomenal. So he's done
(25:48):
some really good movies with them, but the comedies, like
the ones with Jennifer Aniston and stuff, they just stink
and it's unfortunate, weird.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I'm surprised. I mean, does Netflix, What's Netflix just do
so much volume?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
You know, that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
So it's like, all right, well this one sucks, but
I'll watch another one that I might enjoy more. La
la la lah lah.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I think the whole idea is if you walk away
like you know, I just enjoyed myself for an hour
and a half, and it's part of the you know whatever,
seventeen dollars one of the crap they're fucking charging now.
You know, it just makes you feel a little bit
better about it having big Hollywood stars, But I don't know,
I still like the product to be good.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah. Well, speaking of Travis Kelcey, he took to his
social media to share a bunch of photos of the
off season, including many pictures of him and Taylor Swift,
which made us swifties very happy to see this very
personal look at her private life, which she usually keeps
(26:45):
very guarded and even happier. Oh my gosh, I said
this first. It might have been on our Patreon show
I Forget, but I definitely talked about on the podcast
that I had heard rumblings of a new Taylor Swift
album to come out in August. Well, according to new
(27:06):
reports and popa Rozzi Pictures, Taylor Swift was filming a
music video in Los Angeles on Thursday, and it was
so top secret that they filmed it and those working
on set weren't allowed to hear the song, only the.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Beat, like a click track, and same thing for the video,
me which they should have let everybody know how bad
that song. That was a terrible song, but exactly the
same thing. So everybody in that video was just listening
to a click track and Taylor was the only one
that had the music in her ears.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Wow. Well, I'm excited, my god.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, I can't wait to hear. I wonder what the
sound's gonna be. I hope it's like pop music.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I don't I don't know either. No clue. All right?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
From Taylor and Travis and Happy Gilmore to more film
related news. We recently talked about the lawsuit that Tyler
Perry is facing. I think we did that on the
Patreon show Patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton. How convenient
this is just a couple of weeks or a few
(28:20):
weeks after this lawsuit drops. People magazine, of all the publications,
runs this article with the headline Tyler Perry says he
fired his aunt because she wouldn't come to work. That
doesn't work for me. What a calculated distraction. Tyler Perry
wants to control the narrative and get people talking about
(28:43):
this so they don't talk about his sexual assault allegations
that this actor made against him. But let's talk about
this for a second and discuss what he shares. Tyler
Perry shared a recent experience in which he hired an
aunt to work for him. She said she wanted a job.
She would always call asking for money. I said, okay,
(29:04):
I would send her the money. But then I was like, listen,
I want to help you. I want to help you
build this thing. Not be welfare to you, so let
me give you a job. His aunt ended up not
coming to work, so I'm like, okay, well you gotta go.
You want me to hand you the money, but you
don't want to work for it. See that doesn't work
for me. After his mother passed away in two thousand
(29:26):
and nine, he sent letters to family members saying they
needed to get a job within sixty days because he
would not be financially supporting them anymore. One hundred percent
they all got jobs. I mean, on one hand, I
agree with him, But on another hand, Tyler Perry, I
think is a fucking billionaire. If I was a billionaire,
(29:48):
I would be paying for my fucking fan oh my family.
If I was a billionaire, I would be paying for
my aunt and uncle and my cousins. I'd give them
money just like, oh, here's a Christmas present fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Though, is the asks kept coming in too much and
it just became a full time job taking care of
your family.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Even back then, he was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
If you're rich, it's one thing, But when you're next
level rich.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I see, I don't know I let's say I'm a billionaire,
I'm closing the door after my immediate family, talking my
brother and my mother, like, I'm not sending my cousins anything.
Like if my mom says, hey.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
That's gross. Billionaires should be philanthropic, well yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
And I'll give my money away to save pets and
everybody else.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
But you know my family, You're gonna be philanthropic with
strangers or with other or with causes, and not your
own family.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Well to some extent, Like I said, if my mom
calls and says, hey, my aunt needs a new roof
on the house, I'll take care of that. But I'm
not just gonna put everybody on the tit like I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I would I was just a billionaire, I would, I
would not. What would you all do? Call us and
let us know eight hundred seven five or just leave
a message on the Patreon message board if you are
on Patreon. All right? God, every day I am happier
being in the fucking middle because both sides, both sides.
(31:14):
I hate both sides, a lot of them. Laverne Cox
do you remember her?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Of course? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Laverne Cox a transgender actress, an actress who just happens
to be transgender, got her big break on Orange is
the New Black. Has done a lot of things after that.
She revealed recently smartly to hype up a one woman
show that she's doing in New York City. She knew
this would get people talking. She outed her ex boyfriend
(31:43):
of over three years. Not only did she date somebody
who was twenty years younger, she dated a police officer
and in her own words, a maga Republican. And after
she revealed all of this and also said that, you know,
she did not change with her political beliefs. She's not
(32:04):
a maga Republican, but she dated this one, this guy
who is, and like, how could you You're you're dating
someone who votes against your own interests and this and that,
and she got so much hate and negative feedback from
her fans, from her supporters, even from friends of hers,
and that's gross. Yeah, But then it got me thinking, like,
(32:25):
I mean, it was definitely a choice, Like I think
I could be able to I think I would date
a Republican, but I don't think I could date a
maga Republican, right, Like there's a big difference in my mind,
Like I could date like an old school. You know,
somebody who believes in being fiscally responsible.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Well that boat sailed. That party's gone.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
I know now the maga right, Yeah, but yeah, it
just made me sad to see you when you eat
your own And the response that that Laverne Cox got
by so many people on the left like gross.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Yeah, but still, like you say, said, she put it
out there for a reason.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Well it worked.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
It worked, That's what I'm saying. So I kind of
see through it. So I really don't even have an opinion,
like date whoever the fuck you want. I couldn't care less.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Yeah. Well, speaking of dating, a quick little update on
all that drama that we recently had with the Cold
Place CEO who is now the ex CEO. I mentioned
that that guy resigned last week and now the HR
exec the woman that he caught that was caught with him,
she also has resigned.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Yeah, well she had to, she's the HR cary. I mean,
you can't be doing the do as I say, not
as I do, think. You have to fire yourself. You
have to resign.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Yeah. And also, and I feel like this will finally
put a bow on it, that company that the guy
used to work at and the woman used to work
at Astronomer, whom I still don't fucking know what they do.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Nobody does.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
They hired Gwyneth Paltrow to be in a funny video
for their company that I actually watched, and I still
don't remember what they do, but she explained it and
I thought it was very clever and very well done.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Very smart. Yeah, Chris Martin Zax, you tie it all together.
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yeah. Speaking of businesses, that merger between Paramount, who owns
CBS and recently announced that they are getting rid of
Stephen Colbert's The Late Show. The merger between Paramount and
sky Dance has been approved by Donald Trump. Shocking, But
I don't know if many people caught this. A part
(34:35):
of the merger and settlement that Paramount Trump, that Paramount
had with the Trump administration, is that now sixty Minutes,
Remember because he initially sued sixty Minutes over some bullshit.
Fucking yeah, but now sixty Minutes will have a quote
bias monitor that reports directly to the Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
No, they're not trying to control the media, guys, They're
not at all. Told it's the end of democracy.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I am disgusted.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Beyond disgusting freedom of fucking speech is dead. Yeah. I
can't have an opinion in this country anymore.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
All right, one last thing before we take calls, because
I did not want to end on that note. Winona
Ryder reveals that a while ago. God, I kep't believe. God, everybody, God,
we're all getting old. It's just so crazy. I can't believe.
I'm gonna guess Winona Writers if Jalo's fifty six, I'm
gonna guess Winona Riders fifty three. Oh my god, I
(35:36):
just looked it up. I'm fucking good. Winona Rider is
fifty three. She just revealed that back in the nineties,
she was absolutely in love with al Patino, which is
weird because he's like so much older than her, Like
he's I think he's close to ninety now and she's
(35:56):
just fifty three, and you know, they were friends, and
eventually she confessed to him. She was just twenty two
years old, and she confessed to him, I love you,
you know, I really am completely in love with you.
And he was like, ah, honey, no, yeah, that's like
my dream scenario to have somebody tell me that. I'm
(36:20):
like I want that, like I want that you're nuts, like, no,
it's not, because then when you meet somebody that you
feel that way about, you're like, let's fucking go, let's
do this. I want that. I want that. All right,
let's take some calls.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Hey, Chrez, Hey Booker, this is Sam calling from SINEC.
I'm a berry. Long time listening here since the beginning. Actually,
I just wanted to call and say I don't really
know how I want to word this. I just want
to say good job to Perez, and good job also
just spent their prat because Perez is taken on Boake
Lively by just speaking the truth and being vocal and
(36:57):
standing firm and then standing on business. And it's more.
I've seen other content creators who will be an attacked
by Blake coming out and it's just beautiful to see
the the quote unquote little man winning over Blake Lively. Also,
in addition, Spencer has been battling the fire Eggs people
whenever he lost the fire and they're taken all this
(37:17):
money for all the stuff that's not going directly to
the fire vistims, and I think he's winning and he's
going he's getting traction and he's going to do something
with this, and I'm just I'm really proud of you guys.
That's all I wanted to say, thank you, have a
good night.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Where the fuck is the money going? You ask all
these people, it's like, have you seen a check? And
everyone's like no.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
I've seen so much coverage on this, it's crazy. None
of the money went directly to any of the people
in the Palisades or you never know, we're in the Eaton.
It went to these nonprofits. Lah's stupid, I know, so stupid.
If they would have, because they raised like over how
many tens of millions of dollars, if they literally would
(37:56):
have just divided it up and given it directly to
everybody who could prove they lost a house, those people
would have had hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Eve of course, it's everything's a scam. It's unbelievable how
much everybody is full of shit. The way they should
do these shows, these telethons are however they're gonna, you know,
go about raising money. They should put the fucking people's
names PayPal on the screen and say, just PayPal directly
to these people. It's gonna go directly to them. And
that's the only way they should do them at this point,
(38:26):
because no one ever sees a diamond this fucking money. Ever,
It's like, where does it go? Everything's a scam.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Everything the people who lost their homes in the Palisades,
and I would imagine the same is true with the
Eating fire and Altadena. Even though they're empty lots right now,
many of these people are getting fines. Oh your lot
has brush on its right. You need to maintain your
fucking burned down life.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Fuck you, yeah, fuck off.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
And like, and these people still have to pay a mortgage.
That's crazy. Pay a mortgage on something that doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Yeah, it's absolutely wild. And the insurance company is not
wanting to pay. And everything's a scam, it really is.
Or another call.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Hi present Chris Ashley from New York. Chris, my heart
goes out to over George's passing. My heart prays for
you and thanks for the shares to thought. With the

He spoke about seeing a picture of.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Him dying and said he tried.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
I didn't say I saw a picture of him dying.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yeah, you just said you just saw that he's one
hundred yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
And then it seemed at least I thought the picture
was new and it and he was celebrating his birthday
in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
It looked like, yeah, whatever, I love somebody coming to
the defense of Dick Van.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
I never said he was dying.
