Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to Amma Mia podcast. Mamma Mia acknowledges the
traditional owners of land and borders that this podcast is
recorded on.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Good Morning Spillers, and welcome to your morning tea. How
you doing, How are you feeling. I'm feeling great. Thank
you for asking Ash London here, and I am ready
to get you up to date with everything that is
happening and the big, bad and good world of celebrity
news and entertainment. On this morning show, We've got the
return of the Kelly Clarkson Show finally and Robert Erwin's

(00:53):
big Dancing with the Stars reveal. So if you're ready,
I'm ready, let's spill some tea.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
First up, Bruce Willis's wife, Emma Heming Willis, has opened
up about Bruce's diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia, which is
a type of fronto temporal dementia. This moment where she
shares what it felt like to initially get that terrifying diagnosis.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
And to leave there with no with nothing, just nothing,
with a diagnosis. I couldn't pronounce, I didn't understand what
it was.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I can only imagine the pane.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I was so panicked.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Later in the interview. She went on to say that
life is a lot calmer for Bruce and their family
now that the actor lives in a separate home. So
part of the reasoning behind that is that Bruce needs
to be in a quiet, serene environment, and it was
getting increasingly difficult to ensure that the kids in the
home weren't making noise. They were kind of missing out.
And this way everybody's happier, everybody's calmer. Bruce's ex wife,

(01:54):
Demi Moore, who as we know he remains very very
close to, shared the following reflections on the Oprah Winfrey podcast.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
It's hard to see somebody who was so you know,
vibrant and strong and so directed shipped into this other
parts of themselves. But you know, my particular perspective is
one I really always say, it's so important just to

(02:22):
meet them where they're at.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Next up, after a tumultuous couple of months following the
passing of her ex husband and the father of her
two children, The Kelly Clarkson Show is set to return
to screens, with production scheduled to begin next week. A
trailer is live. They've put out a statement fans can
expect the likes of Emily Blunt, Colin Farrell, Scar Joe

(02:44):
the Rock, Matthew McConaughey, Lionel, Richie Julia, Robert, Shonda Rhimes, Migho, Robbie,
I'm Still Going, Sylvestis Stallone, Channing Tatum, and Reese Witherspoon,
with others set to make an appearance on the talk show.
Kelly launched the show in twenty nineteen. It has since
recorded over a thousand episodes and one twenty two Emmys

(03:04):
throughout a tenure. And if you've never found yourself in
a YouTube Kelly oke spa, then you simply have not lived.
And I highly recommend you get around it. Her voice
is incredible and some of the interpretations of famous pop
songs that she's done are better than the original. I
said it, I said it. Hey, stick around. We've got
news on Robert Erwin's next big adventure, Put Next. Welcome

(03:35):
back to your morning Tea. Robert Erwin is in full
steamer Head mode for Dancing with the Stars USA. He's
announced his dancing partner, the absolutely stunning Whitney Carson, and
he was surprised on Good Morning America with a video
message from big Sister Bindi who took out the mirror
ball in season twenty one, which was ten years ago. Insane.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
You said to have a special message for you.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Really, hey, Robert, I am so excited that you are
embarking on your Dancing with the Stars journey.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh my goodness, after being on the show ten years ago.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
My best advice is to just lean into the experience.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
This is going to change your entire life and you
are going to remember this forever. I am so proud
of you.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Let your personality shine.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
You've got this and I can't wait to cheer you
on every week. Also joining him on the floor Alex
Baldwin's wife with the fake excent, Hilaria, who I am
oddly obsessed with. Can't wait to see how we're out.
And finally, Sidney Sweeney has launched yet another fashion campaign

(04:47):
after her previous collaboration with American Eagle caused a bit
of controversy. This time, she's donning a pair of Jimmy
Choo high white leather boots and a leotard, prancing about
stretching like a ballerina in a dance studio. The boots
retail for eighteen hundred US dollars. But let's be honest,

(05:08):
if anything look thata good on me, they'd probably just
whacking it on after pay. I reckon, they probably wouldn't have.
And that's okay. Hey, that is it for me today,
my loves. But the gals are going to be in
your feeds at three pm with the Spill for an
entertainment deep dive. Morning Tea is hosted and produced by
me Ash London with executive producer minsha Iswarren. Make sure

(05:29):

wonderful weekend.
