Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and borders
that this podcast is recorded on.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Good morning, Darling spillers. I hope you slept well and
dreamed of lovely things like Pedro Pascal hand feeding your
chocolate dip strawberries on a beach somewhere in the south
of France. No, just me, Okay, then I'm Ash London
and I'm delighted to get you caught up on all
the latest entertainment news. So today we've got everything from
Jen Aniston's new boyfriend who has a very surprising job,

(00:55):
to the star who ghosted James Corden for eight years.
So let's pour the tea. Jennifer Aniston is dating a hypnotist.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
When I first heard the news, I had images of
some like wiry dude in a black turtleneck holding a
pendulum war with shifty eyes. But in news that will
surprise nobody, he's a stone called fox. His name is
Jim Curtis, and he's kind of a big deal in
the old hypnotism self help circles. He describes himself as
a transformational coach and hypnotherapist. He also wrote Shift Quantum

(01:27):
Manifestation Guide, a workbook for coding a new consciousness, which
Jennifer Todd followers she was reading back in May. Here's
some audio from his Instagram that's going to give you
a bit of a vibe.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Aja, is it better to settle sale? I'm going to
say neither. Harvard had a study no longer study on
human relationships of seventy five years. Their followed people and
they showed that relationships are the most important things for happiness.
So having people in your life that nurture you and
help you grow as a person and super important.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
The two were spotted over the weekend in Majorca with
Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Unka, the second holiday
since ue In. The two have been spotted on Next Up,
every are on Earth, from One Direction to Adele to
Justin Bieber, have appeared on carpool Karaoke. But during the
press tour for this Smurfs movie, James Corden revealed there
was one guest who kept ghosting him and it was

(02:22):
his Smurf's co star Rihanna. On the Red Carpet, he
said she would always say to me when the new
records out. I'll do it when the new records out,
I'll do it. And then I finished the show before
the record came out. Yeah, well mate, we're all still
waiting for the new re re record. But hey, babe,
no rush. She's been busy building a billion dollar cosmetics
empire and having four hundred children go off free ring.

(02:43):
The two actually perform a duet together for the film soundtrack,
with Rihanna revealing that one of the biggest surprises of
the whole thing was that James could actually sing. She said,
he's really good a James Cordon Rihanna Jewett. Look, it
eventually happened. It wasn't carpool. We never guessed it would
be in a Smurf's movie. But here we are. Stick around.
Up next, I'll let you know which uber famous actor

(03:04):
has been spotted in a ridiculous getter in an attempt
to hide their new hairdoo. Timothy Chalomay is one of
the most sought after actors on the planet, with his
start catapulting even further since dating Kylie Jenner, which is
a relationship that still kind of blows my mind. But
let's be honest, like every time I see them together

(03:25):
at my heart smiles like they genuinely seem to be
in love as far as I can tell, as somebody
who doesn't know them, has never met them and has
absolutely no actual insight into their personal lives. But anyways,
I digress. The two of them were out and about
living their best life in Saint Trepez, as you do.
But it was his toys of head where that's got
people talking. He was not only rocking a cap, which

(03:45):
is fine, he then had a bush ger style scarf
kind of draped over the cap and then tied at
the back. It looked like a very big effort to
hide his hair, but the nape of his neck appears
to be kind of very closely shaven, so it's prompted
fans to think that maybe he's cut off all his
locks shaved his head for the upcoming There's another June

(04:07):
June Messiah on the way, so well about that. And finally,
Lord has sat down with BBC Radio ones Jack Saunders
to talk about the struggles she faced in the lead
up to her latest album, Virgin, with some very sob
recognitions about the state of her mental health in the
time between albums.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
At the beginning of twenty twenty three. I was just
like not in a great way on a lot of levels,
and I felt I never felt more disconnected from my
of creativity. I hadn't had an idea in a long time,

(04:47):
and I don't know, I just didn't think that I
had anything to offer. I didn't know what my voice was.
And this was like a period where I was all
I was thinking about was trying to weigh as little
as possible and going to sleep thinking about food and
waking up thinking about food and exercise. That was really

(05:11):
just that was my creative pursuit, you know. That was
that was where it was all going. And really around
that time, I was like, I need to stop doing
this because it's blocking like all my artistry and flocking hour,
it's blocking Houra, you know.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
But after a period of recovery, she says, her creativity
came a flooding back, and of course it's a relief
for friends and fans arelike that She's in a much
healthier place. Good on your Lord. Her new album, Virgin
was released on June twenty seven, and spoiler alert, it's
brilliant and just a quick one. If you've been following
the Shaun Didtycomb's trial. October third is the date we're

(05:50):
going to find out his sentencing for the two prostitution
charges he was found guilty of last week. The prosecution
are seeking a sentence of between fifty one and sixty
three months in jail for the two guilty verdicts, and
he will remain at Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center until then. Well,
thank you so much for tuning in to Morning Tea today.
