Speaker 1 (00:01):
Or returning to the story that everyone is talking about
this morning, the f one will in shock after Red
Bull boss Christian Horner was sat effective immediately, let's get
some more of his entertainment editor Peter Ford pete. He
spent two decades with the team.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yes he did, and a lot of it very successful,
not so much in recent times. But this story is
kind of a collision if you've excused the pun of
sport and show business because of Jerry halliwell being involved
as the partner of course of him. So what happened
we don't know. It's sudden. That's the thing that makes
people think, is there something else about to drop? Is

(00:36):
there something we don't know? We know when the original
scandal broke twelve months ago, there were two investigations and
he was cleared both times. So why now, why so sudden?
They did allow him to go back and speak to
the staff. But even on the statement that Red Bull
put out, it's pretty kurt. They say, yes, he'll always

(00:56):
be part of our history. Well, of course he will,
but they're not really going over board in thanking him
or praising him in any way. Now. As for Jerry herself,
she said nothing and I wouldn't expect her to unless
she somehow gets cornered as part of another interview. She
never actually has addressed the original scandal twelve months ago.
At no point is she made any comment whatsoever about that.

(01:18):
So it's one to watch. My gut feelings says, there's
more to this than we know at this point in time,
So let's keep watching.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Okay, more to play out, for sure. Kim Kardashian has
broken the internet yet again.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, she has. In Paris and she was walking and
she was catwalking. I guess you'd call it for Balenciaga. Now,
what do you think? Is that sas? Is that style
or is that someone who's looking really bored? I don't know.
Is there a fine line between all those things. But people,
of course are going absolutely crazy looking at it and

(01:53):
trying to work out what her motivation is. It's a
small room, isn't it very small? But anyway, certainly she's
got people talking, that's always the name of the game.
And because she is an ambassador for Balenciaga. Now, other
people who were there at the event, Nicole Kidman, who
also happens to be an ambassador for Balenciaga as well,

(02:14):
Katie Perry was there. Katie's very much of the news
at the moment. There, she was just yesterday We're talking
about her having a holiday on the boat with Orlando
and Cardi b always looking good. So Paris coutoo a
week is the place where everybody wants to be this week.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Except Kim Kardashi in by the looks of things, exactly. Yeah, yeah, Hey,
Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are back for Morning Wars.
This is exciting.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, it is exciting. Season four you've got a bit
of a wait yet doesn't drop until September seventeen. Reese
Witherspoon is back, Jennifer Aniston's back, of course, and of
course here we referred to as Morning Wars. The show
is in fact called the Morning Show. But they are
so terrified of us that they know that they dare
use that title here. We will come after them and

(02:58):
we will win class action piece because it'll be all
three of us, exactly. So it looks good. I mean,
it's won a lot of awards so far. It's got
an extra dimension for those of us who work in CV.
So looking very intense, isn't it. But I'm looking forward
to its September seventeen.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Cannot wait, Hugh Grant going viral.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, and of course the tabloids in the UK are
loving this because they love to have any chance to
have a dig at him. So is that Wimbledon the
Royal Box? No, less you can. He's literally sitting right
behind Queen Camilla.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
He fell asleep.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
He fell asleep. Now, thankfully he didn't do the role
forward end up in Queen Miller's lap. That would have
been a really bad look. But yeah, everyone's jumping on
that now saying how can you see? That's how close
he was really close? Yeah, literally sitting right behind her.
So thankfully, you know he had a little nap and
everything's fine in here.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
There wasn't a chance he was like looking at his phone.
That's how sometimes he was definitely asleep.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I think he was definitely napping.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
You know who he reminds me of when he's asleep.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
You during your interview.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
With him, Yes, it is how I looked during my
interview with him, wise being nice to him. Yes, anyway,
I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. I
probably shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Pete, thank you, And if you can tell Reese and
Jennifer to be careful of us, will
