Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place. It's
the CELEBRITI scoop on Star one oh five point seven. Well,
it was a jaw dropping confessions to fans over the weekend.
Donald Glover, the actor and singer but I Don't known by
his stage name Childish Gambino, revealing the reason he canceled
his world tour last year. He had a stroke that

(00:23):
led to multiple health scares. The artist was at the
Camp flog Naw Festival on Saturday, telling fans things got
pretty serious pretty fast while he was on the road
last year.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
He's doing this world tour, so having lots of fun,
really loving seeing you guys out there. And I had
a really bad pain in my head in Louisiana, and
I did the show anyway, I couldn't really see well.
So when we went to Houston, I went to the
hospital and the doctor was like, you had a stroke.

(00:57):
And the first thing I thought was like, oh, like here,
I am still copying Jamie Fott.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
A little bit of levity there, but truly it's pretty terrifying.
Donald says. The health scare didn't end there. He went
on to break his foot, which then led doctors at
the hospital to find a hole in his heart that
required two surgeries. He told the audience, it hits hard.
Everyone has two lives, and the second life starts when

(01:22):
you realize you have one. You should be living your
life how you want. If we have to do this again,
it can only get better. Jonathan van Ness says the
fame he gained from Queer Eye was not all it
was set out to be. The weight of fan expectations
truly wrecked his mental health. The reality star opened up
about his struggles with The Times, telling the paper a

(01:45):
fan actually ran up to him in New York shortly
after the show first came out, which he says was
awesome but equal parts overwhelming. He said he felt he
lost the ability to be sad or any kind of
disheveled in public because people were always watching him and
they would run rampant with rumors if he didn't look
his absolute best. He tells The Times, he got to
the point where if I couldn't be the Jonathan VanNess

(02:08):
that I knew people wanted, I just wouldn't go out. Ultimately,
it made me depressed and very isolated. I don't think
anyone can live up to An edit of themselves on
a reality TV show. He said he did love the
idea of a reboot, but it might not necessarily include him.
This will be very interesting, he said. He's always been
able to deal with things that come his way, but

(02:30):
reality TV was definitely a beast. He is still learning
and Corey Feldman, the eighties icon, is once again hitting
back about a very toxic environment on Dancing with the Stars.
About his brief time on the show, he said there
was so much drama behind the scenes it wasn't even fun.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
So.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Feldman's on an upcoming episode of Gurvi's Law radio show,
and he was paired with pro Jenna Johnson before they
were eliminated in week two. He says the show is toxic.
Discussing his short stint, he said he was not thrilled
about returning to the ballroom for this Tuesday night's finale
Tomorrow night, all of the eliminated contestants will be returning,

(03:10):
but he gave Johnson all the praise, saying she was
at least wonderful during the competition. He adds there was
a lot of stupidity in the mud slinging that went
on behind the scenes. Everything was great. Allegedly but that
wasn't the case. Drama BS people a part of that show.
I've never seen anything like it, the worst, most toxic

(03:31):
thing I've ever been a part of. I've got the
