Speaker 1 (00:00):
Caitlin's entertainment report and he's on the press show.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
The Illinois Supreme Court overturned Disgrace Empire actor Jesse Smolett's
hate crime hoax yesterday, dropping all charges against him and
he cannot.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Be tried again. Yeah, that was my reaction.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
So remember in March of twenty twenty two, if anyone forgot,
he was sentenced to one hundred and fifty days in
Cook County jail, thirty months of probation, and he had
to pay lots of money in restitution as well as
fines after being found guilty of five counts of felony
disorderly conduct for filing a false police report after he
hired two brothers from Nigeria to stage a fake hate

(00:39):
crime against him. Days later, however, he was released from
jail remember this, on bond depending his conviction appeal.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Well.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Earlier this year, he appealed his case to the Illinois
Supreme Court in an attempt to try to convince the
public that he really was attacked by homophobic racist during
that two am subway sandwich run in Chicago. In twenty nineteen,
Special Prosecutor Dan K. Webb issued a statement saying he's
really disappointed with the Illinois Supreme Court decision and respectfully

(01:08):
disagrees with overturning the criminal conviction. He made it clear
that the court's decision has nothing to do with the
actors guilt or innocence, and he categorically believes Jesse is
guilty of perpetuating a hate crime Hulks against the City
of Chicago. So technicality basically, yeah, which I don't know
what he thinks is going to happen now, but.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I guess he's not going to jail. He only maybe
you mentioned this, but he served a very very slump,
like a day or two, didn't he Yeah, yeah, of
one hundred and fifty days, So like whatever, that's what
he's getting out of. He didn't have to go to jail.
I don't have a record, I guess, but his career's
got to be ruined.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, they initially took him out of jail, and then
he's stuck. He struck another deal with Kim Fox and
then now he doesn't have to do any of it.
But again doesn't mean he's innocent, which is crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
The sad part is Klein, if only he had just
I think, if he had just come out and been like,
I screwed up. Yeah, I screwed up. It was I'm
an idiot. I'm sorry. Things go a lot fast. Probably
would have been I mean, he probably would have not
gotten like, you know, a list stuff. I don't think
he was B list, but you know, he's probably be
in a Hallmark channel or something like everybody else's commits
a crime. But that's Felicity Huffman and Jesse Smole.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I was just gonna say, well, Felicity was the one
in that whole thing to say yo, I did it,
And yeah she made friends in jail, and then now
people are like, not that mad at her because she
she owned it right. Jason el Dean's wife, Brittany is
calling out Billboard after they failed to include him in
a staff compiled list of the best country singers of
all time. On her Instagram stories, which she loves to

(02:33):
post on, Brittany accused Billboard of intentionally excluding him from
the list due to his conservative political beliefs. She notes
that this is just one example of the industry setbacks
that they've faced due to their political views and their
public support of Donald Trump. She won't remember when I said,
it's been a journey standing up for what we believe,
and this is a prime example of Jason being left
out of things in the industry. Billboard, your wokeness obviously

(02:55):
overrides your ability to give credit where it's due, and
it's sad. Jason's bassist also similar sentiments to Brittany, saying,
I don't know what's funnier Billboard, how ridiculous this makes
you look, or the fact that you think it would
bother us. Thanks for making that chip on our shoulder
just a little bit bigger. And I like to end
with a happy story because the world is wild. Benny
Blanco says girlfriend Selena Gomez was the one who made

(03:18):
the first move on him and asked him out, which
surprised me today.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Wow, that would be.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
A wonderful feeling to have her hit on you.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Benny says that they were texting and she asked him out,
and this was kind of a move because they had
been friends for many years. She asked him to go
to dinner, but he's like, yo, I already have plans
with friends, Come and then we can go to dinner
after which happened. But the joke was that he didn't
realize it was a date. The way he found out
it was when Selena said I would have worn something
different to this date. He was like, oh wait what.

(03:48):
They hung out again two days later. That's when they
kissed because he realized, oh, she must like me. And
he says they hang out every day they can, and
that she's his best friend.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
She's very sweet, she's.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Very a new trend where women are kind of shooting
their shot.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Do you like that for it? Feel free? Famous people?
That's my name is Fred. How you doing. I'm right here,
right here every morning you can find me. I like him? Okay,
I like him. You should, you know, you should feel
in power. You like a guy, you should say something
to him. Yeah. I don't know what that stigma is
about like that. I don't know why women can't approach men.
I don't know what you can. I don't know where

(04:23):
that came from. We had to be the ones to
do it. Yeah, I mean it might, you know what,
in some ways we talked about it before, Like trust me,
the plight of the man is not a plight, but
compared to many things that women encounter on a daily basis,
you know, be it physiologically or emotionally, or the way
that men treat women in some cases. But it might
it might not be a terrible thing, Kiki, if a

(04:44):
woman has to hit on a man a time or
two so you can see what that's like.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
I'm hearing a lot of success stories where it's like
the women are saying, hey, I hit on him first.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
No, I like it. It just it might. That is
one thing. I would say that there are certain things
about the not the acquisition process, but the courtship process
that I don't think that women necessarily have ever had.
Some women have ever had to do, and I think
it might help. It might help if you maybe had
to go after a guy and see how that goes
and see the resistance, or maybe get rejected once or

(05:17):
twice and just see how that feels. I think, I
don't know, it might be. It might be a globally
beneficial thing, you'll think.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
So that's a project, a science project.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Perspective, not that you're you mean, I know you've already
planned your your divorce, but Paulina, but I mean, you know,
not that you're ever going to be single again, but
if you were, I don't know, it might help with
perspective for you to have to if it were like
it could go either way.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, I think I'm afraid of rejection. But I've given
you guys credit over the years. I'm like, is I
can't go up to a guy at a bar and say,
you know, come here often, Like I'm not going to
do that, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's a great one, but yeah, that's the one that'll
get them.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
I just feel so shy, and I think I am
afraid of rejection and not even that confrontation. And I
know this isn't like a confrontational kind of thing, but
in a way it kind of is. Right I'm approaching you,
imagine and then like trying to hit on you get
your number. I think you guys, I don't.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I don't think we give men enough credit for that.
I think it's hard.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
It have to be, you know, just because it's no.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
It's all right, you guys. We have enough hard time,
That's what I'm saying, Like, I'm not trust me. If
that's a hard thing I have to deal with the demand,
that's fine. But I just think, you know, I don't know,
I've heard more critical. It's just it's hard to know,
Like you can't be creepy. I mean, look, everyone now
is thinking of an example of a dude who was,
you know, inappropriate or crossed the line or whatever. But

(06:37):
let's take those out for a second. It's it's it's
you're putting yourself out there when you do that. You're
you're vulnerable when you do that, and you're not always
going to do it perfectly. And again I'm not talking
about the dudeh walks up and say, you know what
closes your underwear like you know, which is also a
good one. But I'm not recommending that at all. I
just think I don't know, it would be it would

(06:58):
be interesting if everybody had the perspective of and women
should feel empowered to ask for what they want from
a man or a woman or whatever you're into. I
don't know where that came from, that you weren't supposed to,
or that it's like uncouth or something. Have you ever
done it?

Speaker 4 (07:11):
No?

Speaker 3 (07:12):
I haven't. You should have been, I mean celebrity crushes,
but you know you should try it, Okay, I mean
you are single, Key, Keith, I am single, I am
technically whatever. That yeah racket is Caitlin, are you I'm
sorry you? Are you done?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah? I'm done.
