Speaker 1 (00:01):
From Los Angeles, pH Crank Hilton and one and only
world famous Perez Perez Hilton. Hi, guys, welcome to the
PHP Booker. Of course, that is the one and only
(00:22):
Perez Hilton. How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm good. We're talking some Taylor Swift today and also
her squad, Selena Gomez and others. We're gonna get to
Doja Kat, which you haven't spoken about in a while,
The Kardashians, I'm sorry, a little Brittany, Bravo con and more.
But first I have a lot to share because I've
(00:45):
had a very busy few days. But before I get
into that, how are you?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Nothing to report? I dicked around the house all weekend long,
hauled some rocks in that was backbreaking, but nothing to report.
How was Bravo Kan? Did you go? We'll get to
that later in this show show okay.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
But first I did go, and you might all have
not gotten the full context of you didn't listen to
our Patreon show on Thursday. I started that off real
sad because I was having major fomo not going to
see Kylie Minogue in concert at her New Vegas residency.
(01:21):
Thanks to my friend Melinda Shekels, who I think listens
to our podcast. I went as her guest because they
have a very interesting setup there. I went, and it's
not traditional seating. It's more of like an old school
showroom with banquettes and little tables.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Like a supper club exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So she's a very connected person in Vegas, and they
gave her a table and I went as her guest.
I was happy to be her plus one.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Did you behave yourself?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I did, and I could not have enjoyed her show anymore.
It was so intimate, like the venue only seats a
thousand people, And at one point Kylie even got on
top of our table and performed spinning around on top
of our table.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And then Kylie's manager ran up to me. We didn't
run up like she saw me and came up to me,
is what I meant to say, and sort of apologized
because she said that things had been so busy and
so hectic and that she saw a request come through
and didn't get back to me. And I said, well,
I'm here as a plus one tonight, but I want
to come back on my own.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So do you know, Kylie, I don't know if I've
asked you.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
That I've met her, but we're not like friends.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh okay, I didn't know if like it was like
an old relationship from back in the day, like an
adult type thing.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Kylie's been famous since the eighties.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
True, she never needed me for anything. But I've known
her since the first time I met Kylie was two
thousand and seven, and she's always been so kind. I've
interviewed her a ton of times, and I've always been
a big supporter. I loved it. The only critiques I
had were, she really left you wanting more, Like it
could have been a good amount longer. It was somewhere
(03:06):
around seventy seven to seventy nine minutes.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
That is a little short.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah it's tight, it's tight, but you know better to
leave you wanting more than not. I guess Katie Pierry
does like an hour forty five, Adele does two hours.
You two did theirs long. And these tickets are expensive
for people that are paying, so hopefully she maybe adds
some more songs. And the other note that I had
as a hardcore Kylie fan was it was very much
(03:33):
two thousands and beyond Kylie, like only two songs from
the eighties nineties era, which was also surprising, but I'm
so glad i went. I also made it to go
see Dida Montes at the Horseshoe. She's got a new
residency there. I think it's probably maybe like seven hundred seats,
So yeah, I loved it. If you love burlesque, Dita
(03:55):
VTEs is the queen of burlesque. Very classic. But it
also felt there was some like there was this bondage
routine that was like very sexy, so check that out.
And finally made it and took my family to this
sphere to watch the Darren Aronofsky film, which I liked
that they didn't rely too much on the screen and
(04:18):
actually for some people maybe a little too much. My
mom got sick.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I remember when Universal opened up Harry Potter, they had
that same problem, Like a lot of people were getting
sick on the ride. It's too overwhelming, screws with your
head a bit.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
There is this feeling of motion because it's kind of
like that ride in Disney in California exactly. It it's
kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It is so weird because that ride you essentially lift
up about eight feet. You feel like you're flying. It's
such a mind f with your senses. It really is.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's that, but like a hundred times bigger and more intense.
They even have these wind machines on the floor. They're
blowing wind this sound and the chairs there's like a
slight vibration at points the film. Some people might be
turned off by it because it's, you know, about climate change.
It's like we have to go to a fuck another
(05:11):
planet because we've ruined Earth.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Don't worry, Earth will shake us off before that happens.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
But the scenes from Earth are just spectacular. I'm so
glad I went. That was my epic wild weekend. But like,
let's pull back for a second. This same weekend in
Las Vegas, you had Adele Usher, YouTube, Kylie Dida Hosier,
Liz Fair, and Doja Cat. They were all headlining in
(05:39):
some place in Vegas. Like Vegas is so popping, and
let's get to Doja Cat in a second. But first,
So Doja Cat was in Vegas this weekend. She was
headlining at the T Mobile Arena. And I like her music,
but I don't like her as a person so much
(06:00):
so that I have zero desire to go see her show.
My friend did go, though, and reported back to me,
I think she was being too kind, or maybe she's
just easily pleased because she said she enjoyed it. However,
she did complain that Doja Cat did not change outfits
(06:21):
one single time, which you know, is very much keeping
in line with her like just rebelling against being a
pop star thing that she's been doing recently.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't think I'd ever notice if an artist changed
their outfit or not. It's like, I'm just there for
the music.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I would, especially in a big production show like that. Yeah,
I don't even know if it was a big production
show because I didn't go see Doja Kapa.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Disappointing costume change is about tenth on the list of
things I care about at a concert.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Also, my mom was very excited when I told her
that Ricky Martin had a message for her. I hit
up Ricky Martin and I asked for tickets to his
show with Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias, and I told him
that I was taking my kids, and he asked about
my mom and I said, oh, she couldn't go because
(07:11):
she's going to be out of town then, and he's like, well,
all right. So that was very nice for her to
hear that. In more music related news on the Patreon.
I shared with you projections for Taylor Swift's new album,
The nineteen eighty nine re Record, and you were not
(07:32):
very impressed.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
What do you mean? I wasn't very impressed. They're kind
of on point for what I thought they'd be number one,
And yeah, but your dreams, it's not sales.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You're wrong. I now have the breakdowns. You're gonna be
motherfucking impressed because I know how much physical product she sold.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, she sells albums, right, No, I mean like actual vinyl. Yeah, yeah,
that's where the numbers going to come in. That doesn't
impress me. She has a lot of fans. They buy
anything she puts up.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That doesn't impress you.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
The amount of fans that she has is mind blowing,
of course, and they will literally buy any piece of
shit she puts out anything. Not saying that that's a
piece of shit, I'm just saying, no, buy anything. And
they don't even have record players.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Taylor debuted at number one with one point six five
three million equivalent album units in the United States. Whenever
Booker hears equivalent album units, it doesn't mean any regard.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It just means there's a lot of fans.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Everyone checked it out. I checked it out. Half a
million of those plays or happened in this house.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Okay. Let me break it down for you with actual
physical sales of those one point six five million units,
she sold six hundred and ninety three thousand copies on vinyl,
which is a record for vinyl.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That's impressive.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
This is also the biggest opening of Taylor's career. Oh
and did I forget to mention? Yes I did. In
addition to six hundred and ninety three thousand copies of
vinyl its first week. Listen to this, she also sold
five hundred and fifty four thousand physical CDs. So do
the math.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, fine, but to your point, you can absolutely compare
physical products sold today versus physical products sold ten or
twenty years a can.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But like I said, it's a different consumption. Now, it's
a different she literally sold. First of all, vinyl wasn't
even being made for fighters. So what there's a collector's
item attached to it. I mean, that's what it is.
Because people aren't listening to those, They're just putting them
up on a shelf. They don't even have record players.
She has a ton of fans. I think that's been
established and they will literally buy anything she puts out.
(09:38):
That's amazing, But what does it mean. It doesn't mean
anything except for she has a ton of fans.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It means you can you can literally compare physical products
sold now versus physical products sold like in the nineties
when CDs were huge.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You had artists like Backstreet Boys debuting over two and
a half three million for a week and sinc I mean,
the numbers were insane back then. Actual sales, actual no
bullshit albums.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
She sold over one point one million of actual sale.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That's a good number, but for half of it isn't
even listen to It's just it's like you're calling it
his music when it's not music. You may as well
say they bought a poster. They bought a poster. They're
not listening to it. It's just a thing. Like I said,
she has a lot of fans. It's impressive how many
fans she has. But put your palm pomps down. It's
(10:28):
not like you know, these are all new people or something.
It's the same people.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You're ridiculous, all right. Speaking of Taylor, I love that
she and Travis Kelsey are still going strong. In fact,
his team played in Germany over the weekend. It's part
of this NFL thing where they play overseas. I don't
even know who they played.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I don't care, but they played Miami, which is a
pretty good team and they beat them well. And it
was the first weekend in Frankfurt. They're going to do
it again next weekend with two dog shit teams. But
it was really cool to see a game in Germany.
They seem to be very into it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
They're doing two weekends in a row in Germany.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
The NFL is not the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Why two in a row.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well, they did two weeks in a row in England,
and they did two weeks in a row. But England
was weird because Jacksonville played two weeks in a row there,
which was kind of weird. Maybe Miami's playing two weeks
in a row there. I'm not really sure who plays
next week, and it's the Colts and somebody. I remember
hearing it, but I was watching a game with like
one eye open. It was literally six thirty in the morning.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh, because they do it live.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, yeah, so it was like six thirty in the
morning here. It's like no one sees it on the
West Coast. I just happened to be up well.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
People magazine did a post about the Chiefs. Yeah, there
we go from like what fucking team does he play for?
The Chiefs winning and he's got some new record, Like
I think, what is it? Most?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
He's got the most passing yards. He passed any other
chief in the franchise history.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And Taylor Swift liked that post like the bus tail it,
like the bos Well, especially because you know, I love
it when like celebrities pretend like they're too cool for
social media. And yeah, and then you see Taylor Swift
liking a post from People magazine about her boyfriend, you know,
breaking this record, So that was sweet. She did not
(12:22):
go to the game, though, she was in New York
City hanging out with her famous pals, including Brittany Mahomes
and Sophie Turner and Selena Gomez. They were all hanging
out and Selena Gomez, I love her and I can
also call out somebody when they put their foot in
their mouth.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
What did she do?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Selena a few days ago said that she was quitting
social media or quitting Instagram temporarily, you know, taking a break.
She said she was taking an Instagram break, but it
was very dramatic. She was very upset because a few
days prior to that, she shared an Instagram Graham story
post on her thoughts about the situation in the Middle East,
(13:06):
and a lot of people were giving her crap for
her take, which her take was very like not even political.
It wasn't political. It was just more like peace and
protecting innocent lives. And why would you fucking hate on that? Like,
I don't get that? Like why she posted because she
wanted to. Why I don't think there's anything wrong with
(13:26):
posting it.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I don't think there's anything wrong. But you're just opening
up a can of worms for absolutely no reason.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Well, because a lot of artists are being asked to
comment on it, and they're being expected, and people are
disappointed if they don't speak on it.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
What are you supposed to live your life worrying that
other people want you to post on social media which
means absolutely nothing, less than nothing. Why put yourself through
the torture of having to put up with these morons?
Damned if you do, Damned if you don't, And if
you don't, think really can't say anything because there's no
take that they can extrapolate. If you don't put any
words to it, I would just ignore.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
But it's so upsetting to me that, like, if you
don't get exactly what you want, you're gonna attack somebody.
Like to me, there's nothing to attack for somebody saying
I just want peace and I want innocent civilians protected
and this and that, Like there's nothing negative about that. Yeah. Well,
the funny thing is literally a day after Selena very
(14:24):
dramatically said she said she was deleting the app okay
from her phone, but it was more of just like
taking a break. Okay, she misspoke. The day after that
she was seen doing what Taylor Swift did and she
liked a post from Scissa, so she clearly hasn't deleted
it from her phone and isn't really taking a real
serious break on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
She took a nap.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
She took the shortest fucking break twenty hours or so.
I love her though, So it's all good and she
did nothing wrong. So congrats to her for just live
in her life. Congrats also to my friend kat Graham.
By the way, she's got a new book out if
any of you want to learn more about her journey.
(15:10):
She shares a lot and it's very inspiring. I think
I don't even know who that is. She was in
The Vampire Diaries, which is a very popular show for
a certain age demographic.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Just an actor musician.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
She also is a musician as well. Yep, very talented,
very beautiful, very kind.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Also, in addition to all of those singers that were
performing in Vegas this weekend, Bravo con was happening at
the same time. A lot of your favorite Bravo celebrities
were there and some were not. And what's interesting to
me is one of the big topics of conversation that
I saw that got brought up repeatedly in various panels
(15:51):
and discussions was Bethany Frankel and this.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Whole reality reckoning. She made a lot of good points.
I did read a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I disagree, tell me one good point.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
She makes a very valid point when she talks about
Andy Cohen just having these women fight against one another
while it's just women tearing down one another, while Bravo
makes money off of it, and you know, it's really
not doing a lot for women's sake. And I can't
disagree with that.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
That's reality television. Were these people ignorant to what they
were signing up for?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Well, it's a point that's valid. It's all I'm saying.
I'm not arguing with you of that point. I've made
the point before myself on this very show. It's lowest
common denominator TV. Sometimes in the fighting and the slapping
and the name calling, I wouldn't say it's very adult
at times, it's very childlike watching these shows, and look
people like it. I get it. I understand the point
(16:47):
she was making.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That's all The overwhelming majority of people attending Bravo Khan,
and I saw them because I was at the Paris
on Friday for a little bit as well, and there's
the vander put A Paris there and that was like
such a line to get in. That's Lisa vander Pump's restaurant.
The overwhelming majority of people in attendance at Bravo Khan
(17:10):
that watch Bravo shows are women. I would say maybe
like eighty percent and then twenty percent gay men. All right,
So women are consuming and love this content of women
tearing down women, and they will continue to watch it.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
No one's saying that they shouldn't. And I don't think
Bethany's even saying that they shouldn't. I think she's just
making a point which happens to be valid. That's all.
It is, lowest common denominator, you know, it's teaching younger
women to say, Wow, this is okay to behave this way.
And you can't tell me that there's no societal effects
of these kinds of shows and this kind of behavior
(17:48):
rubbing off on people of a certain intelligence, and I'm
talking a lesser intelligence. I don't disagree with her. There
is a point to that.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I don't think so, you know, because reality television has
existed the way it has since the early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yes, do I think that society has went downhill since
the early two thousands with people's behavior and their entitlement
and the way they act out on planes and the
way that Yes, I actually do believe that society is
going the wrong direction. And do I think that a
small part of it might have to do with the
crap that they're consuming on TV and this lowest common
(18:25):
denominator behavior? I do, I absolutely do. I don't think
that's even a stretch.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
All right, Well, I disagree with a lot of Bethany
Frankel's points myself, and obviously so do most of the people,
are all of the ones that tending Bravocon. Also at Bravocon,
another topic of conversation that I thought was interesting was
Nini Leeks. Andy Cohen specifically was asked about her and
(18:50):
if she could ever make her way back to Housewives,
and he didn't even mention her name, which I respect,
because he literally threw back at her what she said,
which was he reminded everybody that a few years ago,
Niini Leaks told Andy to keep her name out of
(19:11):
his mouth.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
So that's what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
That's what he's doing. And he he gave like a
generic answer when asked about Nini Leaks about you know,
I have space in my heart for everybody, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I was gonna say, I watched him. He's very good.
He's very diplomatic in his answers when people, you know,
there is an element of gotcha attack questioning on the stage,
especially when it comes to Bethany Frankel and such, and
he is very diplomatic in his answers and very thought
out and articulate and really a great speaker. So I
enjoyed watching him, you know, navigate those waters. It's like
(19:46):
an athlete, which is a little bit boring, though that
is the point, how well he does it. It's like
an athlete. When they ask an athlete a direct question
and they're like, well, the team did a great job today.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
It's like you didn't answer the question that was just
asked exactly. I need a little spice, you know. I
saw this other clip from a panel where they were
interviewing on the on the stage the new Jersey Housewives,
and I love it, Like these Bravo fans are fucking
insane in the best way, or like like I said,
(20:15):
you know, they consume this content, which is a very specific,
volatile content, so they ask sometimes really explosive questions. So
this one woman went and asked one of the newer
Jersey Housewives, who doesn't even register to me, she said,
how does it feel to constantly be up Teresa's ass?
(20:36):
Like you're such a kiss ass? I'm like, I fucking
love that. And then that fucking woman like literally got
up from out of her chair and like got real heated,
and like I'm like I thought she was gonna go
attack the other woman. I love it. Then like another
highlight was one of the housewives got her expensive shoes
stuck on the escalator. That was hilarious. Kyle Richards was
(20:57):
talking about her husband, Maudy's and this is very interesting,
especially for you know, the Bravo fans. So Kyle Richards
was being interviewed on the red carpet and she had
a slip up when talking about her husband. They're separated,
that's all they've announced. Kyle was talking about what a
difficulty year this has been for her, and she mentioned this,
(21:19):
and then she mentioned her divorce and she used the
de word. She said divorce, my divorce. She's not divorced,
meaning pending divorce. But she never announced that they were divorcing.
All that she announced that they were separating. They're still
living together.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Oh so she inadvertently announced that it is official that
they're getting divorced. But isn't she dating somebody else?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
She's rumored to be very friendly with this female country
music thing.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That's what I thought. Kind of the writing's on the wall, right,
I mean, yeah, if she's quote friendly with somebody else,
it seems like her other relationship is over.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And speaking of Kyle, Maudisio has once again been spotted
out on the town with his Dancing with the Stars
partner ms later once again arm in arm, you know,
maybe just very friendly partners.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I watched the clip of them talking about it on
Dancing with the Stars. I think that they figured out
that they could milk this and it's getting them headlines.
I don't know. I just didn't feel the heat between
the two of them, you know what I mean, Like
they're great dancing together. They do a nice job, and
he's really come along, I think, But I don't know.
I think that he is in that world and he
(22:28):
understands a headline and this is it. Why not play
it up?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And finally, with regards to Bravo Kon, it made How
do I want to phrase this? Heather McDonald was not
asked to participate in Bravo Kon either.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Really isn't this her wheelhouse?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It is so that, you know, that was surprising. Maybe
they were upset because she had her own show on
Saturday night during Bravocon weekend. She did a show at
the Venetian. She's not pet like me. I wasn't asked
to do anything in Fravo Con, so I just didn't go.
She still went, she went and showed face because she's
(23:08):
also you know, she enjoys like a Sally Field soap
dish moment where you know, you go, you get all
this attention. And then of course she was like videotaping
people getting excited to see her, and YadA, YadA, YadA.
Also a quick little update for anybody that was following.
If you were following, you've probably heard there was all
this drama with Heather McDonald and this woman and she
(23:29):
borrowed some earrings and she lost one of the ear
rings and she gave the woman money when she lost
the ear rings. Well, now, all these months later, Heather,
it turns out found out somehow. I don't even know,
because I'm not paying that close attention, right, the ear
rings were fake. Now much ado about nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
It's still funny, though it's funny somebody's making a big
deal about it. It turns out they're just fake earrings.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I know. Also, congratulations to Travis Barker and Courtney Kardashian.
Baby Rocky is here.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Oh I didn't even see that, congret I didn't see that.
I missed that.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Congratulations. Courtney just gave birth and after the big pregnancy
scare and in vitro procedure. Also, speaking of the Kardashian
Jenner's Northwest is very well. We spoke about North Thursday
on the Patreon Show, which you really should be signed
(24:28):
up for the Patreon Show, y'all patreon dot com slash
Perez Hilton. On the Patreon Show, we talked about North
being on the cover of this magazine by herself, and
now North continues to not just get headlines. It's kind
of weird. It's weird she gets headlines and is getting
(24:49):
people talking about her on social media, and just the
concept of that is weird to me.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
How old is this kid?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Ten? People on social media are dice comm on and
dissecting what a ten year old says. So North was
complaining to her mother and expressing that she enjoys staying
with their dad more because Kanye lives in an apartment
and Kanye doesn't have a chef or a nanny or security.
(25:20):
And North prefers that I'd rather fucking live with Kim.
All right, give me the chef, give me the nay,
give me everything. Yeah, but I wonder now like that
North blew up their dad like he's gonna have to
get security. Now, what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Noah, he probably a security The kid just doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Oh, good point, A little bit of some Justin Timberlake news.
His in sync bandmate Lance Bass wants everybody to just
let it go. He wants people to forgive Justin. Lance says,
everyone has their own opinion. I feel like the world
is so full of hate right now, and we need
(26:02):
to practice a little forgiveness. Brittany did. Let's take a
note from her. Everyone deserves to tell their story. She did,
and I hope the fans can find some forgiveness. Did
I miss the point where Brittany forgave Justin? I don't
remember that happening.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Seems like she threw a lot of shade at him
in this book. Yeah. I don't see any forgiveness either.
I don't see it happening. But what do you all think?
Do you forgive Justin?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I also think a lot of his fans might be upset,
but they're still gonna go see him in concert.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, I think it's what you say. We've always known
he's kind of douchy, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Outside of that, there's no quote forgiveness. She's not my niece.
I don't know her. It's just a dumb plot line
from some silly high school that I didn't go to.
It is essentially it, and I can't get too crazy
about it. Ultimately, I think Lance's message is right, come on,
can we just get over this? Like it's been so
many years and they were kids, and god knows what
(27:01):
really happened one person's tail versus another person that's not talking,
So I don't know. It's all a lot to do
about nothing.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I think, release your memoir justin we want it all
right and more music related news. This upset me. I mean,
she's persnickety and a curmudgeon and a character, but the
way she handled this I think is very rude and
disrespectful to her fans. Lauren Hill very popular in the
(27:28):
nineties and still a loyal following.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
The Miseducation of Lauren Hill is one of the greatest
albums ever.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, she was in Los Angeles over the weekend. Did
you go to that show? I did not know she
was in la And she has this habit of perpetually
being incredibly late all of her concerts.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yes, she has Madonna.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, and she had enough. She told this crowd in
Los Angeles. You're lucky I even make it on this stage. No, bitch,
they're not lucky. They're paid pay trends. They are paying
you to provide them a service. And if you're late,
you're doing a bad job at your service. You are
(28:12):
a service industry professional.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Part of her brand is being late, and fans get it.
I guess, which is interesting to say the least.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Also more music related news, the widow of Aaron Carter
is suing on behalf of their one year old suing
doctors and pharmacies for wrongful death.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
And I don't know the likelihood of possible win because
I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm gonna go ahead and
set the bar zero.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
But I will say this, if, for whatever reason, this
Melanie woman does win, I pray to God that a
trust is set up for the sun and some smart
and caring person manages the trust, because I I don't
trust her managing the trust. So just putting that out
(29:04):
there and hopefully a judge or somebody listens. Let's end
things on a positive note. Congratulations to Armie Hammer. Speaking
of Lance Bass and forgiveness, I mean, it's not my
job to forgive Armie Hammer, but I do believe in
redemption and that everybody can be better and do better.
He's returned to Instagram after his scandalous last few years.
(29:28):
I wish him well. And finally, remember how I mentioned
all of those artists that were performing in Vegas this weekend,
there was also somebody else that was performing in Vegas
this weekend. It was star studded. Katie Perry also was
in Vegas this weekend with the very last shows of
her residency after two years. It just ended, and there
(29:51):
were a lot of celebrities in attendance to the very
last show of play at Resorts World on Saturday night,
including markle and Prince Harry, Cameron Diaz, and Benji Madden,
Selene Dion and it made me so happy to see
Selene out and about twice in.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
One week, that's great.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
We mentioned on the Patreon show that she was spotted
at a Vegas Golden Nights game. She lives in Vegas
and that was the first time that she'd been spotted
in public in three and a half years. So now
she's been spotted twice in one week. I don't want
to infer anything. But if you go from like not
(30:34):
being in public.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Twice at a week, going out sounds like maybe they
got her her medicine right, or yeah, they figured something out,
or rehabilitations working or whatever's doing good for her.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I know I'm praying that that is the case. Also,
I read that Selene is working on a documentary, so
I'm very excited to hear from her directly in her words.
And let's take some calls Hie Booker and I Press.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
This is Monica calling from the Central Valley of California.
I was telling about Britney Spears.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I'm just wondering how much.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Is really credible that it's in this memoir.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I feel like Britney really has some issues going on,
and so if we take all that.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Into perspective and the way her life's been going, how
much is.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Really credible that it is in this memoir?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
And Also, I wanted to give a shout out Booker today.
Your personality on the Patreon show was amazing.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Everything you said was spot on.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Also love that Press is there for all the shenanigans
and always goes with the blow Keep up the good work, guys.
I love the patreons best five dollars I spend every month.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Oh, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna just guess she's talking
about what you went on, your ridiculous Kardashian tirade.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
By the way, that everybody agreed with the entire Patreon board.
One negative comment about it, not even one.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Haters haters, No one's a hater.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I just call it like I see him. Yet you
have to get the Patreon to hear what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Hi, this is Alan from Alabama. Just want to talk
about the Keith lista. Oh, I personally have been glued
to TikTok watching all these reviews.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Let me pause this person just so you can set up.
Because it was on the Patreon and some people didn't
hear it, can you kind of re establish that?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Sure, this big creator on social media caused a lot
of drama when his usual stick is he reviews restaurants,
and honestly, I don't give a fuck about what anybody
else thinks about food. Like I don't even get right,
I mean, I get it. The main reason this guy's
popular is because people like his personality and they like
(32:47):
the way that he makes videos, he gives off this
air of authenticity which is cultivated and strategic. I think
everything he does is for an effect and a reason.
And he went to Atlanta and there was drama repeatedly
and specifically. He went to visit this one restaurant and
he got upset that he was given special treatment. He
(33:09):
doesn't want special treatment. He wanted to wait an hour
at plus, but when they saw him, they were going
to see him in five minutes. And like he called
him out on that, and like, that's just ridiculous. You're
not going to change the world or even the restaurant industry.
The workers are taught to give famous people and rich
(33:29):
people and athletes special treatments. That's just how it works.
And you're not going to change that.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
That's how the world works. You don't even have to
say restaurants. It's how the world works.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, And I personally think that he's just going on
this rant because he thinks that's what he thinks his
audience will eat it up. And they did. They did.
So anyways, go back.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Okay, well said here we go order.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
His food to go.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Is because he is so well known, especially now amongst
like restaurants and you know, up and coming restaurants, and
that's how he orders the food to go, so that
they don't know he's coming and they don't treat him specials.
He doesn't want to be treated special. He wants to
be treated like every other customer. So he usually will
get his wife or his sister whomever to pick up
(34:15):
the food, order it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
All that, and he doesn't tell them.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
That he's coming so that he can honestly review the food,
their service, so on.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
So for we, yeah, to your point, it sounds very
cultivated because peresent I made the point last week judging
food from to Go. Come yeah, give me a break.
Come on.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I watched all of his Atlanta videos, but I've been
to Atlanta quite a few times, and it really is
like that. It is almost impossible to get a seat
anywhere without a reservation.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
It's any good restaurant, I hate to tell you, I mean,
any good restaurant you just can't walk in. You gotta
have a reservation because it's good for a reason, people
want to go.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
And especially if you're in a densely populated area right
like Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Let's wrap it up.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
We'll see you next Monday. And if you want to
treat yourself a holiday gift, get our Patreon, patreon dot com,
slash Perez Hilton. If you have any calls you want
to call us eight hundred seventy two one five. Have
a wonderful week and thank you for listening.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Well said, Take care everybody,
From Los Angeles, pH Crank Hilton and one and only
world famous Perez Perez Hilton. Hi, guys, welcome to the
PHP Booker. Of course, that is the one and only
(00:22):
Perez Hilton. How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm good. We're talking some Taylor Swift today and also
her squad, Selena Gomez and others. We're gonna get to
Doja Kat, which you haven't spoken about in a while,
The Kardashians, I'm sorry, a little Brittany, Bravo con and more.
But first I have a lot to share because I've
(00:45):
had a very busy few days. But before I get
into that, how are you?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Nothing to report? I dicked around the house all weekend long,
hauled some rocks in that was backbreaking, but nothing to report.
How was Bravo Kan? Did you go? We'll get to
that later in this show show okay.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
But first I did go, and you might all have
not gotten the full context of you didn't listen to
our Patreon show on Thursday. I started that off real
sad because I was having major fomo not going to
see Kylie Minogue in concert at her New Vegas residency.
(01:21):
Thanks to my friend Melinda Shekels, who I think listens
to our podcast. I went as her guest because they
have a very interesting setup there. I went, and it's
not traditional seating. It's more of like an old school
showroom with banquettes and little tables.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Like a supper club exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So she's a very connected person in Vegas, and they
gave her a table and I went as her guest.
I was happy to be her plus one.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Did you behave yourself?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I did, and I could not have enjoyed her show anymore.
It was so intimate, like the venue only seats a
thousand people, And at one point Kylie even got on
top of our table and performed spinning around on top
of our table.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And then Kylie's manager ran up to me. We didn't
run up like she saw me and came up to me,
is what I meant to say, and sort of apologized
because she said that things had been so busy and
so hectic and that she saw a request come through
and didn't get back to me. And I said, well,
I'm here as a plus one tonight, but I want
to come back on my own.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So do you know, Kylie, I don't know if I've
asked you.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
That I've met her, but we're not like friends.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh okay, I didn't know if like it was like
an old relationship from back in the day, like an
adult type thing.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Kylie's been famous since the eighties.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
True, she never needed me for anything. But I've known
her since the first time I met Kylie was two
thousand and seven, and she's always been so kind. I've
interviewed her a ton of times, and I've always been
a big supporter. I loved it. The only critiques I
had were, she really left you wanting more, Like it
could have been a good amount longer. It was somewhere
(03:06):
around seventy seven to seventy nine minutes.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
That is a little short.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah it's tight, it's tight, but you know better to
leave you wanting more than not. I guess Katie Pierry
does like an hour forty five, Adele does two hours.
You two did theirs long. And these tickets are expensive
for people that are paying, so hopefully she maybe adds
some more songs. And the other note that I had
as a hardcore Kylie fan was it was very much
(03:33):
two thousands and beyond Kylie, like only two songs from
the eighties nineties era, which was also surprising, but I'm
so glad i went. I also made it to go
see Dida Montes at the Horseshoe. She's got a new
residency there. I think it's probably maybe like seven hundred seats,
So yeah, I loved it. If you love burlesque, Dita
(03:55):
VTEs is the queen of burlesque. Very classic. But it
also felt there was some like there was this bondage
routine that was like very sexy, so check that out.
And finally made it and took my family to this
sphere to watch the Darren Aronofsky film, which I liked
that they didn't rely too much on the screen and
(04:18):
actually for some people maybe a little too much. My
mom got sick.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I remember when Universal opened up Harry Potter, they had
that same problem, Like a lot of people were getting
sick on the ride. It's too overwhelming, screws with your
head a bit.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
There is this feeling of motion because it's kind of
like that ride in Disney in California exactly. It it's
kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It is so weird because that ride you essentially lift
up about eight feet. You feel like you're flying. It's
such a mind f with your senses. It really is.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's that, but like a hundred times bigger and more intense.
They even have these wind machines on the floor. They're
blowing wind this sound and the chairs there's like a
slight vibration at points the film. Some people might be
turned off by it because it's, you know, about climate change.
It's like we have to go to a fuck another
(05:11):
planet because we've ruined Earth.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Don't worry, Earth will shake us off before that happens.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
But the scenes from Earth are just spectacular. I'm so
glad I went. That was my epic wild weekend. But like,
let's pull back for a second. This same weekend in
Las Vegas, you had Adele Usher, YouTube, Kylie Dida Hosier,
Liz Fair, and Doja Cat. They were all headlining in
(05:39):
some place in Vegas. Like Vegas is so popping, and
let's get to Doja Cat in a second. But first,
So Doja Cat was in Vegas this weekend. She was
headlining at the T Mobile Arena. And I like her music,
but I don't like her as a person so much
(06:00):
so that I have zero desire to go see her show.
My friend did go, though, and reported back to me,
I think she was being too kind, or maybe she's
just easily pleased because she said she enjoyed it. However,
she did complain that Doja Cat did not change outfits
(06:21):
one single time, which you know, is very much keeping
in line with her like just rebelling against being a
pop star thing that she's been doing recently.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't think I'd ever notice if an artist changed
their outfit or not. It's like, I'm just there for
the music.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I would, especially in a big production show like that. Yeah,
I don't even know if it was a big production
show because I didn't go see Doja Kapa.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Disappointing costume change is about tenth on the list of
things I care about at a concert.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Also, my mom was very excited when I told her
that Ricky Martin had a message for her. I hit
up Ricky Martin and I asked for tickets to his
show with Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias, and I told him
that I was taking my kids, and he asked about
my mom and I said, oh, she couldn't go because
(07:11):
she's going to be out of town then, and he's like, well,
all right. So that was very nice for her to
hear that. In more music related news on the Patreon.
I shared with you projections for Taylor Swift's new album,
The nineteen eighty nine re Record, and you were not
(07:32):
very impressed.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
What do you mean? I wasn't very impressed. They're kind
of on point for what I thought they'd be number one,
And yeah, but your dreams, it's not sales.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You're wrong. I now have the breakdowns. You're gonna be
motherfucking impressed because I know how much physical product she sold.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, she sells albums, right, No, I mean like actual vinyl. Yeah, yeah,
that's where the numbers going to come in. That doesn't
impress me. She has a lot of fans. They buy
anything she puts up.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That doesn't impress you.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
The amount of fans that she has is mind blowing,
of course, and they will literally buy any piece of
shit she puts out anything. Not saying that that's a
piece of shit, I'm just saying, no, buy anything. And
they don't even have record players.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Taylor debuted at number one with one point six five
three million equivalent album units in the United States. Whenever
Booker hears equivalent album units, it doesn't mean any regard.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It just means there's a lot of fans.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Everyone checked it out. I checked it out. Half a
million of those plays or happened in this house.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Okay. Let me break it down for you with actual
physical sales of those one point six five million units,
she sold six hundred and ninety three thousand copies on vinyl,
which is a record for vinyl.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That's impressive.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
This is also the biggest opening of Taylor's career. Oh
and did I forget to mention? Yes I did. In
addition to six hundred and ninety three thousand copies of
vinyl its first week. Listen to this, she also sold
five hundred and fifty four thousand physical CDs. So do
the math.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, fine, but to your point, you can absolutely compare
physical products sold today versus physical products sold ten or
twenty years a can.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But like I said, it's a different consumption. Now, it's
a different she literally sold. First of all, vinyl wasn't
even being made for fighters. So what there's a collector's
item attached to it. I mean, that's what it is.
Because people aren't listening to those, They're just putting them
up on a shelf. They don't even have record players.
She has a ton of fans. I think that's been
established and they will literally buy anything she puts out.
(09:38):
That's amazing, But what does it mean. It doesn't mean
anything except for she has a ton of fans.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It means you can you can literally compare physical products
sold now versus physical products sold like in the nineties
when CDs were huge.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You had artists like Backstreet Boys debuting over two and
a half three million for a week and sinc I mean,
the numbers were insane back then. Actual sales, actual no
bullshit albums.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
She sold over one point one million of actual sale.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That's a good number, but for half of it isn't
even listen to It's just it's like you're calling it
his music when it's not music. You may as well
say they bought a poster. They bought a poster. They're
not listening to it. It's just a thing. Like I said,
she has a lot of fans. It's impressive how many
fans she has. But put your palm pomps down. It's
(10:28):
not like you know, these are all new people or something.
It's the same people.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You're ridiculous, all right. Speaking of Taylor, I love that
she and Travis Kelsey are still going strong. In fact,
his team played in Germany over the weekend. It's part
of this NFL thing where they play overseas. I don't
even know who they played.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I don't care, but they played Miami, which is a
pretty good team and they beat them well. And it
was the first weekend in Frankfurt. They're going to do
it again next weekend with two dog shit teams. But
it was really cool to see a game in Germany.
They seem to be very into it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
They're doing two weekends in a row in Germany.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
The NFL is not the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Why two in a row.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Well, they did two weeks in a row in England,
and they did two weeks in a row. But England
was weird because Jacksonville played two weeks in a row there,
which was kind of weird. Maybe Miami's playing two weeks
in a row there. I'm not really sure who plays
next week, and it's the Colts and somebody. I remember
hearing it, but I was watching a game with like
one eye open. It was literally six thirty in the morning.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh, because they do it live.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, yeah, so it was like six thirty in the
morning here. It's like no one sees it on the
West Coast. I just happened to be up well.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
People magazine did a post about the Chiefs. Yeah, there
we go from like what fucking team does he play for?
The Chiefs winning and he's got some new record, Like
I think, what is it? Most?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
He's got the most passing yards. He passed any other
chief in the franchise history.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And Taylor Swift liked that post like the bus tail it,
like the bos Well, especially because you know, I love
it when like celebrities pretend like they're too cool for
social media. And yeah, and then you see Taylor Swift
liking a post from People magazine about her boyfriend, you know,
breaking this record, So that was sweet. She did not
(12:22):
go to the game, though, she was in New York
City hanging out with her famous pals, including Brittany Mahomes
and Sophie Turner and Selena Gomez. They were all hanging
out and Selena Gomez, I love her and I can
also call out somebody when they put their foot in
their mouth.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
What did she do?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Selena a few days ago said that she was quitting
social media or quitting Instagram temporarily, you know, taking a break.
She said she was taking an Instagram break, but it
was very dramatic. She was very upset because a few
days prior to that, she shared an Instagram Graham story
post on her thoughts about the situation in the Middle East,
(13:06):
and a lot of people were giving her crap for
her take, which her take was very like not even political.
It wasn't political. It was just more like peace and
protecting innocent lives. And why would you fucking hate on that? Like,
I don't get that? Like why she posted because she
wanted to. Why I don't think there's anything wrong with
(13:26):
posting it.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I don't think there's anything wrong. But you're just opening
up a can of worms for absolutely no reason.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Well, because a lot of artists are being asked to
comment on it, and they're being expected, and people are
disappointed if they don't speak on it.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
What are you supposed to live your life worrying that
other people want you to post on social media which
means absolutely nothing, less than nothing. Why put yourself through
the torture of having to put up with these morons?
Damned if you do, Damned if you don't, And if
you don't, think really can't say anything because there's no
take that they can extrapolate. If you don't put any
words to it, I would just ignore.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
But it's so upsetting to me that, like, if you
don't get exactly what you want, you're gonna attack somebody.
Like to me, there's nothing to attack for somebody saying
I just want peace and I want innocent civilians protected
and this and that, Like there's nothing negative about that. Yeah. Well,
the funny thing is literally a day after Selena very
(14:24):
dramatically said she said she was deleting the app okay
from her phone, but it was more of just like
taking a break. Okay, she misspoke. The day after that
she was seen doing what Taylor Swift did and she
liked a post from Scissa, so she clearly hasn't deleted
it from her phone and isn't really taking a real
serious break on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
She took a nap.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
She took the shortest fucking break twenty hours or so.
I love her though, So it's all good and she
did nothing wrong. So congrats to her for just live
in her life. Congrats also to my friend kat Graham.
By the way, she's got a new book out if
any of you want to learn more about her journey.
(15:10):
She shares a lot and it's very inspiring. I think
I don't even know who that is. She was in
The Vampire Diaries, which is a very popular show for
a certain age demographic.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Just an actor musician.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
She also is a musician as well. Yep, very talented,
very beautiful, very kind.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Also, in addition to all of those singers that were
performing in Vegas this weekend, Bravo con was happening at
the same time. A lot of your favorite Bravo celebrities
were there and some were not. And what's interesting to
me is one of the big topics of conversation that
I saw that got brought up repeatedly in various panels
(15:51):
and discussions was Bethany Frankel and this.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Whole reality reckoning. She made a lot of good points.
I did read a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I disagree, tell me one good point.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
She makes a very valid point when she talks about
Andy Cohen just having these women fight against one another
while it's just women tearing down one another, while Bravo
makes money off of it, and you know, it's really
not doing a lot for women's sake. And I can't
disagree with that.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
That's reality television. Were these people ignorant to what they
were signing up for?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Well, it's a point that's valid. It's all I'm saying.
I'm not arguing with you of that point. I've made
the point before myself on this very show. It's lowest
common denominator TV. Sometimes in the fighting and the slapping
and the name calling, I wouldn't say it's very adult
at times, it's very childlike watching these shows, and look
people like it. I get it. I understand the point
(16:47):
she was making.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That's all The overwhelming majority of people attending Bravo Khan,
and I saw them because I was at the Paris
on Friday for a little bit as well, and there's
the vander put A Paris there and that was like
such a line to get in. That's Lisa vander Pump's restaurant.
The overwhelming majority of people in attendance at Bravo Khan
(17:10):
that watch Bravo shows are women. I would say maybe
like eighty percent and then twenty percent gay men. All right,
So women are consuming and love this content of women
tearing down women, and they will continue to watch it.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
No one's saying that they shouldn't. And I don't think
Bethany's even saying that they shouldn't. I think she's just
making a point which happens to be valid. That's all.
It is, lowest common denominator, you know, it's teaching younger
women to say, Wow, this is okay to behave this way.
And you can't tell me that there's no societal effects
of these kinds of shows and this kind of behavior
(17:48):
rubbing off on people of a certain intelligence, and I'm
talking a lesser intelligence. I don't disagree with her. There
is a point to that.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I don't think so, you know, because reality television has
existed the way it has since the early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yes, do I think that society has went downhill since
the early two thousands with people's behavior and their entitlement
and the way they act out on planes and the
way that Yes, I actually do believe that society is
going the wrong direction. And do I think that a
small part of it might have to do with the
crap that they're consuming on TV and this lowest common
(18:25):
denominator behavior? I do, I absolutely do. I don't think
that's even a stretch.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
All right, Well, I disagree with a lot of Bethany
Frankel's points myself, and obviously so do most of the people,
are all of the ones that tending Bravocon. Also at Bravocon,
another topic of conversation that I thought was interesting was
Nini Leeks. Andy Cohen specifically was asked about her and
(18:50):
if she could ever make her way back to Housewives,
and he didn't even mention her name, which I respect,
because he literally threw back at her what she said,
which was he reminded everybody that a few years ago,
Niini Leaks told Andy to keep her name out of
(19:11):
his mouth.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
So that's what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
That's what he's doing. And he he gave like a
generic answer when asked about Nini Leaks about you know,
I have space in my heart for everybody, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I was gonna say, I watched him. He's very good.
He's very diplomatic in his answers when people, you know,
there is an element of gotcha attack questioning on the stage,
especially when it comes to Bethany Frankel and such, and
he is very diplomatic in his answers and very thought
out and articulate and really a great speaker. So I
enjoyed watching him, you know, navigate those waters. It's like
(19:46):
an athlete, which is a little bit boring, though that
is the point, how well he does it. It's like
an athlete. When they ask an athlete a direct question
and they're like, well, the team did a great job today.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
It's like you didn't answer the question that was just
asked exactly. I need a little spice, you know. I
saw this other clip from a panel where they were
interviewing on the on the stage the new Jersey Housewives,
and I love it, Like these Bravo fans are fucking
insane in the best way, or like like I said,
(20:15):
you know, they consume this content, which is a very specific,
volatile content, so they ask sometimes really explosive questions. So
this one woman went and asked one of the newer
Jersey Housewives, who doesn't even register to me, she said,
how does it feel to constantly be up Teresa's ass?
(20:36):
Like you're such a kiss ass? I'm like, I fucking
love that. And then that fucking woman like literally got
up from out of her chair and like got real heated,
and like I'm like I thought she was gonna go
attack the other woman. I love it. Then like another
highlight was one of the housewives got her expensive shoes
stuck on the escalator. That was hilarious. Kyle Richards was
(20:57):
talking about her husband, Maudy's and this is very interesting,
especially for you know, the Bravo fans. So Kyle Richards
was being interviewed on the red carpet and she had
a slip up when talking about her husband. They're separated,
that's all they've announced. Kyle was talking about what a
difficulty year this has been for her, and she mentioned this,
(21:19):
and then she mentioned her divorce and she used the
de word. She said divorce, my divorce. She's not divorced,
meaning pending divorce. But she never announced that they were divorcing.
All that she announced that they were separating. They're still
living together.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Oh so she inadvertently announced that it is official that
they're getting divorced. But isn't she dating somebody else?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
She's rumored to be very friendly with this female country
music thing.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That's what I thought. Kind of the writing's on the wall, right,
I mean, yeah, if she's quote friendly with somebody else,
it seems like her other relationship is over.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And speaking of Kyle, Maudisio has once again been spotted
out on the town with his Dancing with the Stars
partner ms later once again arm in arm, you know,
maybe just very friendly partners.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I watched the clip of them talking about it on
Dancing with the Stars. I think that they figured out
that they could milk this and it's getting them headlines.
I don't know. I just didn't feel the heat between
the two of them, you know what I mean, Like
they're great dancing together. They do a nice job, and
he's really come along, I think, But I don't know.
I think that he is in that world and he
(22:28):
understands a headline and this is it. Why not play
it up?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And finally, with regards to Bravo Kon, it made How
do I want to phrase this? Heather McDonald was not
asked to participate in Bravo Kon either.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Really isn't this her wheelhouse?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It is so that, you know, that was surprising. Maybe
they were upset because she had her own show on
Saturday night during Bravocon weekend. She did a show at
the Venetian. She's not pet like me. I wasn't asked
to do anything in Fravo Con, so I just didn't go.
She still went, she went and showed face because she's
(23:08):
also you know, she enjoys like a Sally Field soap
dish moment where you know, you go, you get all
this attention. And then of course she was like videotaping
people getting excited to see her, and YadA, YadA, YadA.
Also a quick little update for anybody that was following.
If you were following, you've probably heard there was all
this drama with Heather McDonald and this woman and she
(23:29):
borrowed some earrings and she lost one of the ear
rings and she gave the woman money when she lost
the ear rings. Well, now, all these months later, Heather,
it turns out found out somehow. I don't even know,
because I'm not paying that close attention, right, the ear
rings were fake. Now much ado about nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
It's still funny, though it's funny somebody's making a big
deal about it. It turns out they're just fake earrings.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I know. Also, congratulations to Travis Barker and Courtney Kardashian.
Baby Rocky is here.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Oh I didn't even see that, congret I didn't see that.
I missed that.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Congratulations. Courtney just gave birth and after the big pregnancy
scare and in vitro procedure. Also, speaking of the Kardashian
Jenner's Northwest is very well. We spoke about North Thursday
on the Patreon Show, which you really should be signed
(24:28):
up for the Patreon Show, y'all patreon dot com slash
Perez Hilton. On the Patreon Show, we talked about North
being on the cover of this magazine by herself, and
now North continues to not just get headlines. It's kind
of weird. It's weird she gets headlines and is getting
(24:49):
people talking about her on social media, and just the
concept of that is weird to me.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
How old is this kid?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Ten? People on social media are dice comm on and
dissecting what a ten year old says. So North was
complaining to her mother and expressing that she enjoys staying
with their dad more because Kanye lives in an apartment
and Kanye doesn't have a chef or a nanny or security.
(25:20):
And North prefers that I'd rather fucking live with Kim.
All right, give me the chef, give me the nay,
give me everything. Yeah, but I wonder now like that
North blew up their dad like he's gonna have to
get security. Now, what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Noah, he probably a security The kid just doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Oh, good point, A little bit of some Justin Timberlake news.
His in sync bandmate Lance Bass wants everybody to just
let it go. He wants people to forgive Justin. Lance says,
everyone has their own opinion. I feel like the world
is so full of hate right now, and we need
(26:02):
to practice a little forgiveness. Brittany did. Let's take a
note from her. Everyone deserves to tell their story. She did,
and I hope the fans can find some forgiveness. Did
I miss the point where Brittany forgave Justin? I don't
remember that happening.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Seems like she threw a lot of shade at him
in this book. Yeah. I don't see any forgiveness either.
I don't see it happening. But what do you all think?
Do you forgive Justin?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I also think a lot of his fans might be upset,
but they're still gonna go see him in concert.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, I think it's what you say. We've always known
he's kind of douchy, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Outside of that, there's no quote forgiveness. She's not my niece.
I don't know her. It's just a dumb plot line
from some silly high school that I didn't go to.
It is essentially it, and I can't get too crazy
about it. Ultimately, I think Lance's message is right, come on,
can we just get over this? Like it's been so
many years and they were kids, and god knows what
(27:01):
really happened one person's tail versus another person that's not talking,
So I don't know. It's all a lot to do
about nothing.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I think, release your memoir justin we want it all
right and more music related news. This upset me. I mean,
she's persnickety and a curmudgeon and a character, but the
way she handled this I think is very rude and
disrespectful to her fans. Lauren Hill very popular in the
(27:28):
nineties and still a loyal following.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
The Miseducation of Lauren Hill is one of the greatest
albums ever.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, she was in Los Angeles over the weekend. Did
you go to that show? I did not know she
was in la And she has this habit of perpetually
being incredibly late all of her concerts.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yes, she has Madonna.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, and she had enough. She told this crowd in
Los Angeles. You're lucky I even make it on this stage. No, bitch,
they're not lucky. They're paid pay trends. They are paying
you to provide them a service. And if you're late,
you're doing a bad job at your service. You are
(28:12):
a service industry professional.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Part of her brand is being late, and fans get it.
I guess, which is interesting to say the least.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Also more music related news, the widow of Aaron Carter
is suing on behalf of their one year old suing
doctors and pharmacies for wrongful death.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
And I don't know the likelihood of possible win because
I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm gonna go ahead and
set the bar zero.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
But I will say this, if, for whatever reason, this
Melanie woman does win, I pray to God that a
trust is set up for the sun and some smart
and caring person manages the trust, because I I don't
trust her managing the trust. So just putting that out
(29:04):
there and hopefully a judge or somebody listens. Let's end
things on a positive note. Congratulations to Armie Hammer. Speaking
of Lance Bass and forgiveness, I mean, it's not my
job to forgive Armie Hammer, but I do believe in
redemption and that everybody can be better and do better.
He's returned to Instagram after his scandalous last few years.
(29:28):
I wish him well. And finally, remember how I mentioned
all of those artists that were performing in Vegas this weekend,
there was also somebody else that was performing in Vegas
this weekend. It was star studded. Katie Perry also was
in Vegas this weekend with the very last shows of
her residency after two years. It just ended, and there
(29:51):
were a lot of celebrities in attendance to the very
last show of play at Resorts World on Saturday night,
including markle and Prince Harry, Cameron Diaz, and Benji Madden,
Selene Dion and it made me so happy to see
Selene out and about twice in.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
One week, that's great.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
We mentioned on the Patreon show that she was spotted
at a Vegas Golden Nights game. She lives in Vegas
and that was the first time that she'd been spotted
in public in three and a half years. So now
she's been spotted twice in one week. I don't want
to infer anything. But if you go from like not
(30:34):
being in public.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Twice at a week, going out sounds like maybe they
got her her medicine right, or yeah, they figured something out,
or rehabilitations working or whatever's doing good for her.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I know I'm praying that that is the case. Also,
I read that Selene is working on a documentary, so
I'm very excited to hear from her directly in her words.
And let's take some calls Hie Booker and I Press.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
This is Monica calling from the Central Valley of California.
I was telling about Britney Spears.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I'm just wondering how much.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Is really credible that it's in this memoir.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I feel like Britney really has some issues going on,
and so if we take all that.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Into perspective and the way her life's been going, how
much is.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Really credible that it is in this memoir?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
And Also, I wanted to give a shout out Booker today.
Your personality on the Patreon show was amazing.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Everything you said was spot on.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Also love that Press is there for all the shenanigans
and always goes with the blow Keep up the good work, guys.
I love the patreons best five dollars I spend every month.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Oh, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna just guess she's talking
about what you went on, your ridiculous Kardashian tirade.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
By the way, that everybody agreed with the entire Patreon board.
One negative comment about it, not even one.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Haters haters, No one's a hater.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I just call it like I see him. Yet you
have to get the Patreon to hear what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Hi, this is Alan from Alabama. Just want to talk
about the Keith lista. Oh, I personally have been glued
to TikTok watching all these reviews.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Let me pause this person just so you can set up.
Because it was on the Patreon and some people didn't
hear it, can you kind of re establish that?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Sure, this big creator on social media caused a lot
of drama when his usual stick is he reviews restaurants,
and honestly, I don't give a fuck about what anybody
else thinks about food. Like I don't even get right,
I mean, I get it. The main reason this guy's
popular is because people like his personality and they like
(32:47):
the way that he makes videos, he gives off this
air of authenticity which is cultivated and strategic. I think
everything he does is for an effect and a reason.
And he went to Atlanta and there was drama repeatedly
and specifically. He went to visit this one restaurant and
he got upset that he was given special treatment. He
(33:09):
doesn't want special treatment. He wanted to wait an hour
at plus, but when they saw him, they were going
to see him in five minutes. And like he called
him out on that, and like, that's just ridiculous. You're
not going to change the world or even the restaurant industry.
The workers are taught to give famous people and rich
(33:29):
people and athletes special treatments. That's just how it works.
And you're not going to change that.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
That's how the world works. You don't even have to
say restaurants. It's how the world works.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, And I personally think that he's just going on
this rant because he thinks that's what he thinks his
audience will eat it up. And they did. They did.
So anyways, go back.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Okay, well said here we go order.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
His food to go.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Is because he is so well known, especially now amongst
like restaurants and you know, up and coming restaurants, and
that's how he orders the food to go, so that
they don't know he's coming and they don't treat him specials.
He doesn't want to be treated special. He wants to
be treated like every other customer. So he usually will
get his wife or his sister whomever to pick up
(34:15):
the food, order it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
All that, and he doesn't tell them.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
That he's coming so that he can honestly review the food,
their service, so on.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
So for we, yeah, to your point, it sounds very
cultivated because peresent I made the point last week judging
food from to Go. Come yeah, give me a break.
Come on.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I watched all of his Atlanta videos, but I've been
to Atlanta quite a few times, and it really is
like that. It is almost impossible to get a seat
anywhere without a reservation.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
It's any good restaurant, I hate to tell you, I mean,
any good restaurant you just can't walk in. You gotta
have a reservation because it's good for a reason, people
want to go.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
And especially if you're in a densely populated area right
like Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Let's wrap it up.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
We'll see you next Monday. And if you want to
treat yourself a holiday gift, get our Patreon, patreon dot com,
slash Perez Hilton. If you have any calls you want
to call us eight hundred seventy two one five. Have
a wonderful week and thank you for listening.
