Speaker 1 (00:00):
For Robin's News.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Isla Fisher has made a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles.
She was only on the ground for twenty four hours
and it wasn't or didn't have anything to do with
her separation and divorce from Sasha Baron Cohen. It's because
she went to celebrate one of her best mate, Courtney
Fox's sixtieth birthday, her Laura Dern, Courtney's daughter Coco Aquette.

(00:27):
They were all celebrating and then at the end of
the party she stayed Saturday night, got back on a
plane and came home on Sunday. That is rich parenting
to the next level. Like most people will go for
a night out, we've got to go home the next morning.
When you're an a lister, you just fly across the
world for a night. Imagine paying a babysitter. I'm going
to be in LA for twenty four hours, so for

(00:49):
pizza on the counter. I'll see you tomorrow. Gwyneth Paltrow
has sent a surprise message of support to Kate Middleton.
Of course, we also saw her on the Royal balcony
for the Tripping of the Colors. That is the first
time we've seen the Princess of Wales in over six
months since her cancer diagnosis, and Gwyneth took to her

(01:09):
social media on Instagram saying so happy to see you
looking so happy and well interesting because Gwyneth is very
good friends with Megan Markle and clearly when it comes
to those two, I think friends are taking sides like
you're either team Mega or your team Kate, and Gwyneth
is just trying to stand in the middle. She's trying
to be the goop that brings them back together. Oh

(01:31):
look at you go. Jerry Seinfeld has blasted an anti
Israeli heckler during his Sydney stand up gig. He's here
on Wednesday. I think anyway, the person jumped up and
started to heckel saying from the river to the sea,
Palestine will be free. And this is what Jerry said.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
A genius later.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's the choice that they're going to start punching you
on about three seconds, so I would try and get
all of your genius out and you could all learn.
You you gotta hand it to the heckler. It's a

(02:23):
brave soul that takes on Jerry Seinfeld on his own gig.
The reason being is that Jerry actually spent a year
living and working in a kibbutz in Israel when he
was sixteen, and says he has loved his Jewish homeland
ever since. So, of course, with all the war that's
going on in Palestine, people are choosing to focus on him.

(02:44):
Honey Booboo. Do you remember Honey booboo? Honey boo boo,
Honey Booboo. Yes, Toddlers and Tiara, she became famous for
and then got her own show with her family called
Here Comes Honey Booboo. Well, Honey is now eighteen. She
is currently studying a neonatal nursing degree at a college

(03:04):
in Denver. She lives with her boyfriend, and she says
that he's the one that keeps her on track with
his studies.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
He just takes care of me. He makes sure, like
my head's on show. Like if I'm getting like a
boat grad school, He's like, worry you know that, boy,
Like you need to get to it. You need to
get up there and that really study. Or like if
I'm like, say I need an assignment, that's too He's like, well,
why are we going out to get something to eat?
We need to be home doing that assignment. So here's
the first support of and very loving and Karen and
just always there for me. He's kind of like my

(03:34):
boyfriend and my best friend.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
She looks exactly the same, just an eighteen year old version.
That is not what you want, no, but she does
and so does that Momma, Mamma Jean, Mamma Jane. Yeah,
it was so good to see honey, boo boo. It
just it brought back memories of watching her well, you know,
taking care of my kids all those years ago. Scoot

(03:57):
Abraun has officially retired from Talent Management after stepping back
last year. He lost a number of his really big
names Demi Lovado, Indira Menzel, Ariana Grande. Apparently even Justin
Bieber has not been overly happy with his management, and
so he's gone in a different direction. He's invested. His
investment firm, Ithaca Holdings, has merged with Hyper America, a

(04:21):
branch of a South Korean entertainment company, and as part
of the sale, Braun has been offered the position to
helm the US operations. Yeah, it feels like there's something
more happening there. I don't know, but there's I mean
a scooter. Braun has created so many headlines over the
last twenty years. He discovered Justin Bieber. He's upset Taylor Swift.

(04:42):
I mean, there is so many things that that man
has done as an entertainment manager, and now he says
he's walking away.
