Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mamma Mia acknowledges
the traditional owners of land and borders that this podcast
is recorded on Good Morning, Spillers and Happy Tuesday. Let's

(00:34):
all face the day with the confidence of a NEPO
baby turning up to their first day of work at
their mum's fashion magazine. Hey, my name is Ash London
and I am delighted to once again ensure they're not
a single skeric of entertainment news and misses your personal
zeitgeist this morning, You're welcome. Today, We've got everything from
a justin Timberlake meltdown to a very strange Twitter hack.

(00:56):
So let's pour the tea. First up. Jason Kelsey, that's
Travis's brother, admits feeling both anxious and excited about his mother,
seventy two year old Donna Kelcey, joining season four of
Peacock's reality competition The Traitors. That's right, Taite's future mother
in law is going on reality TV. Yes, look, we

(01:17):
already know she'll be the clear fan favorite of the season,
as millions of Swifties blocked the show in the same
way they've been doing to the NFL the seasons ensemble
includes reality TV veterans and olympians competing for a two
hundred and fifty thousand dollar prize. Although Old mat Donna
is a notoriously lovely, kind hearted Mama Bear, so not

(01:39):
sure how she's gonna go with the deception side of things,
but time will tell. Sometimes the universe has a sense
of humor, and in this instance, the universe is clearly
a Britney Spears fan. During a July fifth performance at
England's Lytham Festival, Justin Tim Blake abruptly lost his call
on stage when a sound malfunction interrupted his rendition of

(02:00):
Crime ri As we know, Crime River is the Britney
Spears pretty much dishtrack, and he got the actress that
kind of looked like her to appear in the video.
And year years later, Brittany came out and said it
was actually really traumatic for her, so the fact that
it happened during this song is a bit of a lub.
So a viral TikTok video captured him shouting, making aggressive

(02:21):
gestures towards crew members. You can kind of hear how
the crowded just kind of standing there like, oh, watching
in shock and confusion. Justin's European tour continues. Hopefully no
more audio malfunctions. Don't go anywhere. Up next, someone's robbed

(02:43):
one of the most famous women on the planet, and
I would not want to be them when they realized
what they've done and who they've done it to. Let's
get back into it. Someone has got some serious karma
coming for them. Unreleased Beyonce music and sensitive tool materials
were stolen from a rental vehicle in Atlanta, less than
forty eight hours before Beyonce's four show Cowboy Carter run

(03:07):
in the town. One of her choreographers and dancers, and
suitcases containing hard drives with watermarked and unreleased tracks, footage
and setlists were taken when the trunk window was smashed
in a parking garage. Investigators used Apple's Find Mine to
track the headphones to a suspicious vehicle, leading to questioning
of a person of interest, although no formal suspect has

(03:29):
been named. Honestly, where would we be without the find
My feature? I'll tell you what the greatest piece of
technology since those at home led face masks. If you
ask me, can you imagine they've been the thieves for
a moment in the lock of a car. You get home,
you're going through your loot and you realize you've accidentally
robbed Beyonce. Uh oh, like I said, Calm's a bitch

(03:51):
And some sad news Now for one of my favorite superstars,
Robbie Williams shared a deeply emotional update during a recent
concert in Germany, revealing his eighty four year old mum, Janet,
who is battling dementia, no longer recognizes him or knows
where she is. With his father also unwell, he admitted
to struggling to adapt to suddenly being the grown up.

(04:11):
Williams confessed he's not ready to cope with the weight
of these family crises, but as always, life often throws
the good in with the bad and admits all the
personal turmoil. Robbie was recently nominated for a knighthood in
recognition of his music and charity work, including founding Soccer
Aid and supporting Comic Relief and finally Quick Well A

(04:32):
weird one kind of upsetting one. Poor Elmo has been
hacked on Twitter. The sesame Street Star had hackers break
into their account to post a barrage of offensive messages
showing that no one is safe on the internet anymore.
Not even Happy Go Lucky Little Elmo. Stay safe out there, kid,
And that has been today's Morning Tea. Thank you so
