Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's get down to business. Robin Garrett, have the s
keeping you naughty gossips? What Rob does? Welcome to Celebrity Buzz. Yes,
my name is Garrett. Right across from me, Rob Shooter.

(00:20):
He came running in said, oh my god, Wendy Williams
is talking to me. And my first question is what
did you do? What have you done? What have you done?
So what happened is Wendy Williams had on Whitney Houston's
former girlfriend's Robin, her assistant Robin. Robin has a book
out and so about ten years ago, and Wendy was
a TV star but i'll TV a radio studio. Whitney

(00:43):
called into Wendy's show and the two of them had
a forty five minute conversation, and to this day it's
one of my favorite hours of radio. Google it. It's
on you. You find fabulous. So Wendy for yours is
how you're doing? Whitney Houston, I know about your your
girlfriend and it just was the best, funniest, the most
fabulous radio into ever. I've spoken to Wendy about this

(01:05):
interview many times. Whitney actually called in, just phoned into
the station. Hi, Wendy, Williams. It's Whitney Houston, so fabulous, fabulous.
Robin goes on the show to sell her book, she
confirms they were lovers. So Wendy had it right. There's
no shade here on Wendy, when you had it right,
when you had the balls to talk about it. So

(01:26):
I'm told the interview could have got either way. It
could have been really awful, but whatever one's going to be,
it was gonna be great TV. So it's a great interview.
I loved it. Then my sources tell me Wendy and
Robin have actually formed a very unlikely friendship, and they've
texted each other, they've spoke, they're going to have dinner.
So I think I might have implied that Wendy and

(01:49):
Whitney's lesbian lover are together, which I haven't said, but
people are, so I think people like. So maybe people
are jumping at that. Maybe that's how Wendy's goings on
the headline when you just got divorced. So she's single
when she's looking for new girlfriends to hang out with
new friends, so the word girl friends is what everybody's
hanging out. Yes, I think people say, and it got

(02:13):
back to her and it's got back when on TV
this morning, and she's like, this is like the worst
game of telephone. You know, growing up in in grammar school,
you would play this game telephone where you would whisper
something and someone else and by the time I got
back to you, it wasn't what you started with. So
this is what I envisioned. Rob Shooter wrote this article
no knowing, and it could sound a little scandalous, but

(02:33):
I'll roll with it because in the depths of the
article is what the story is about. It's a very
short there's articles, okay, short item guaranteed Wendy doesn't sit
home going Let's see what's on Google trends for me today.
So here's where part two of the game Telephone comes
into play. A friend and assistant a production talking about you.

(02:56):
Here's what it's and read the headline and of course
us knowing that Wendy has ammunition to go off. Yes,
but in mostly life the way I love it. Eventually
just apparently said come on the show whatever you want, Rob,
your welcome back cup, I want to tell you'll tell
you off. So I'll go on actual te I know
I'm rite though somebody saw this is a really good
they're friends. Have you ever had an unlikely friends? Like

(03:17):
something that you shouldn't be friends if on paper it
doesn't look good, it's not a good mixed I've got
a few really conservative friends, and I've got a few
very conservative friends, staunch Republican friends who I've been friends
with for many years, and like, people are shocked when
I say this is my friends. So I have friends
all different walks of life. I love them. And Wendy

(03:40):
and Whitney's ex girlfriend is so unlikely. It's just delicious.
So you go on the show. You know how Wendy's
going to approach this, just straight out of the gate.
She's gonna come right at there. How do you respond?
You smile, you laugh, You realize you're a guest in
her house. Of course you're never gonna win, So I
don't fight though, I'm very Yeah, you've been punched. You

(04:01):
know one of those talking heads, talking heads what you
see on TV. They're they're they're sitting in a studio
and there's four other people, like arguing Rob Shooter is
not an argue. You're not a fighter fighter. You're a
great lover, a great lover. And I've also right, So
I have the truth of my side. Sometimes I'm not
so sure of myself, but this time I know I'm
really right girl, And I'll ask her are you and

(04:22):
Robin texted? And she'll say, yes, are you and robbing
now friendly? Yes? Are you and Robbin planning to have
dinner next week? I know where they're going. Yes, I
won't get that phone, but I know the reservation. But like, yes,
so why don't So if she says that, the ultimate
answer Mike drop moment for you, And the argument is
doesn't that qualify as a girlfriend? Is it that a girlfriend?

(04:44):
Do you have girlfriends? Yes? And then that's where I
see the audience. Either goes I'm not gonna win to
the audience her friends. So that's going on. The big
gossip of the day, of the week, of maybe the
month is Justin Timberlake. Right, So Justin was court holding
hands with a coach star that he's Danny New Orleans

(05:06):
filming a movie with they're holding hands, they are they're
touching each other's legs, are on a balcony of one
of those fabulous restaurants in the French Quarter. There's something
that's a little suspicious. See Rob shooter, and you know,
maybe it's because I'm just I have horse blinders on
and I you know, I want to support my guy.
I love him. I do too, and I sneakers, clothing line,

(05:28):
everything book. It seems given, yes, he could have been
in talk. I don't like the fact that her people
say put out the fact that he was intoxicated. He
was drunk. He was. I know it is. But if
you're gonna be like a good teammate like Rob shoot,
you and I go out we drunk, I'm not gonna yes.
But my people are not going to say, and my
people would say Garrett was wasted, then your people are

(05:50):
bad people, but better being wasted. The beard totally clear
of mind, though, Well, and they didn't have sex and
they didn't hook up. We should be really clear. They
were holding hands. He can't have held hands. Here here
here's my two things. Knowing knowing how Hollywood works, this
movie needs some type of Sometimes I thought that at
first it feels like a setup for a couple of reasons.
Feels like it feels like a set up. Please tell

(06:10):
me why you set up for me? Is that if
somebody as big as Justin Timberlate walked into any restaurant
in anywhere in the world. They put him in a
private booth in the back. Now got on the balcony,
are display for display with like beads around his a
flashing light. Just just that's bad singing and sink below.

(06:31):
They would not put you there any celebrity of that
magnitude that I've been at for dinner with her drinks
they sit in the back, of course display. So the
fact he was on display tells me this is a setup.
This is a bit of a path opportunity. Now, also
to they do the pictures look terrible. The pictures look terrible.
Video doesn't pictures look like that doesn't wirible? You take

(06:55):
you take a screenshot, that screenshot less forever. So it
looks like they're holding hand like you watched the video.
He said, touch. We have passed each other in the
hallway and we've briefly touched bottoms. But if but if
there was a picture of that, it looks like you
and I were butt buddies, dump bump, which could could
that could be worse, It could be So trust me
on this one. He's not cheating. I've called everyone I

(07:17):
know and they said he's a good guy. He has
no he's take this bad guy's cheat all the time.
He doesn't. I feel bad because you know that conversation
had to go down with him in Jessica. It's called Jessica.
There's pictures of Jessica. So I saw Jessica out where
in the ring smiling. They told her pr people clearly
told her, you get out, you go to a supermarket
or somewhere public where we get a picture of you

(07:38):
smiling and put the ring on. She went to her
parking structure. Why does celebrities go to like celebrities like
that go to parking st I think you should get
out of the car in l that's the only place
to get out of the cars to the garage. She
went to the parking lot, she got out of the car,
she paid the meter. I told Jessica's fine. Now, if
Jessica was worried, she'd be on the plane to New Orleans.
She's not, so all is cheating. Trust me, Justin is

(08:01):
a good guy. I've done gossip for a long time.
I know the sleazy ones. I really do, and I'm
not even saying this is controversial. Going out after a
long day's work drinking too much and holding hands with
a girl. I'm not even saying that's such a bad thing.
If they went to a hotel and had terrible that
didn't happen, didn't leave together, didn't hook him in the hotel,

(08:24):
Like if you go out with a work colleague and
you drink a little too much and you hold hands.
I've done, I've held hands with people. I've probably done worse.
But like it's and if he wasn't justin timber like,
we wouldn't even notice that it was not cheat because
she's she she doesn't have she hasn't had her knee yet.

(08:45):
People are probably loving it because of the I suspect
I don't know. I'm just guessing here. I don't think
it was a movie company, because no movie will succeed
if you think the good guy leading man is cheating
on his wife and we love them. So I don't
believe it's the movie company. Um. I think it could
be harpy are people, or it could be just some
really lucky tourist on the street who took some pictures. Unlikely,

(09:08):
but this feels a little stage to me, because her
people came out with a statement already. I think it
looks like he was set up. He looks like he
was set up, and to squash it right away. There
you know, it's no big deal. Blah blah blah. I
didn't know her till yesterday that I know her, but
I didn't and I didn't know what the movie was about.
Didn't making a movie. It's a sports movie. He's back
on set though, too, so if he was that hungover,

(09:30):
he would be offset. He would work today. And but
can imagine having that conversation with her because he knows
something shady happened. So can you imagine I'd be like,
did you set me up? Like? Did you? Just like,
if you want to do that, just give me the
heads up and I might even say yes. But I've
got to give Jessica the heads up. Of course, I
got to play the game. And but Jessica is not
flying and they're not cheated. I know celebrities, I know

(09:53):
the bad guys. He's a good man, all right, he's
a good man. Let's move on to Dancing with the
Star and the finale was last night. I have a
huge conspiracy theory. You're listening with this, you're you're either
a fan or if you read it already, so do
not at Rob Shooter or I about ruining Dancing with
the Stars. So, Hannah Brown, she was on The Bachelor,
she was the Bachelor last season. She had sex in

(10:16):
a windmill four times and she won Dancing with the Stars.
Was she the best? No, here's the thing. So last night,
Dancing with the Stars on ABC released a promo, a
promo of the new Bachelor. The Bachelor was the same
guy Hannah Brown had sex within a windmill and Peter

(10:36):
the Pilot invites Hannah onto the show and says, I
want you back on my season. Now, that's all it was.
That was a teaser promo that the same night Dancing
with the Stars. Here's what's gonna happen. Good storylines, you know,
have to continue. So why would they put that out
day one of the new season of The Bachelor. They're

(10:57):
not Bachelor is all done, it's filmed. Hannah Brown is
not in Uh, Peter the pilots say that first, Peter
the Pilot's life right. She might have popped up on
an episode I envisioned she's towards the later end of
the season just giving him advice, not advice. He tries
to win her back and she says. She says, I'm sorry,

(11:18):
I can't. But the problem is with him winning her
back and these things are really structured. Is then it
gives the audience, who've been watching for ten weeks, it
makes us feel cheated. What I would do if I
was the producers of this is I'd say she should
come back and give him advice on which girl to pick.
She needs to endorse his girlfriend. But but in the promo,
so this is the thing Rob Shooter, he invites her

(11:38):
back like wanting wanting her to be But she should
come back in the first episode and they should say,
you know what, we were right, We're better friends and
I'll see you in a couple of weeks, Peter and
help you pick. That's what I would do if I
was planning this for the way they're mapping it out
is that he's desperate to get the huge numbers for
the first season for sales. First episode and how do
you start that conversation? You give her, You throw a

(12:01):
competition and let her know it's too planned and Abby
bones one to the last year and guess who was
the brand new contestant on a judge on American Idol,
another Disney product, Bobby Bones one turned over to American.
I like the love it, but tell Mitchell never had
a chance. Ok. I think it's a I don't think

(12:27):
and I think I think they broke her her deal
with Ali Brook. This is a this is so Ali
Brook used to be in Fifth Harmony, all right, she
has her own she has a few singles for her
to release a single because she was in the top three.
I think they said, hey, top three, here's the deal
we'll get. We'll let you premiere your song on Good

(12:48):
Morning America. Great placement. Ali Brook not on Dancing Wood
and Starts, she wouldn't have prime placement Morning American. I'm pretching.
I hate you, but he all works regardless of who wins.
For instance, had a single one today, she could still
be on g m A. Had Hannah come in number three,
she could still be on The Bachelor. Still, she would

(13:09):
have been on the Bachelor, but it wouldn't have been
like if not as six sided, had Bobby Bones coming second,
it could still do idle like I understand it. What
I think the synergy is is stacking the decks with ABC.
People work for ABC. That's like ginger Z the weather Lady.
She although she I don't know if she's didn't she
didn't win, but they got her on Laura Spencer. They

(13:30):
were so they all put the synergies there, but on
the Bachelors on Prime Time on and the Bachelor is
But but this is why I think too she might
have won that Bachelor nation is massive and or loyal
and her fan base because a Bachelor nation is stronger
than the other three. Like when I looked at them,

(13:52):
just almost like a math equation. I looked at them
and I almost did the algorithm in my mind. I
was like, she can win. And the reason I thought
she was going to win was not because of cheating,
but because of the fan base. Have fan base is
the ABC trained fan base, and so they're ready. And

(14:13):
I don't know, I thought, I mean, she's a great dancer,
she's beautiful, she's charming. Um, I think I would have
voted for for Hannah bal I would have voted for Kilt.
I love the truth. I don't even know him. He
was on Nickelodeon about ten twelve years ago. Has he
done anything big sins? No? No, that was that was
so where's his fan base? The fan base was there

(14:34):
from from the nostalgia and also he was good, so
he was a good dancing. He was Keenan from from SNL.
Those two were partners, so they were on They were
in a movie called Good Burger on Nickelodeon. How he
was supporting to him and he was on a show
called All That kind of like a mini SNL Frost
That's happened. I also love it to the final four,

(14:55):
so when they do good look messages from their family,
but always trying to throw a celebrity, and it's interesting
to see which celebrity did who Hannah got Demi Levada
because fan Keenan did your guy Reber McIntyre for for
the country star? And then who else was the fifth harmony? Who?

(15:17):
I forget who she had? There was some celebrity there.
It was too bad because they already knew she was
coming in third. Do you think Kamila Cabello cares about
any of this. No, she's she's riding high. She's got
a Grammy nomination, she she has she's dating the biggest
pop star on the world. Arguably she's loving quickly About
Taylor Swift, I thought she was incredible. I think saying

(15:39):
less is more coming out with the shirt on with
the names of her her albums on that she no
longer owns the Masters too. I'm a fan of hers.
I'm a fan of hers. The one thing I I
kind of have drawn the line on and I think
she should speak up on is the fact that um
And and Scooter Braun, who runs the record label that
owns her music now kind of put it in in

(16:02):
uh worded it very nicely. I understand the business side
of it. And when you want to talk, let's all
talk of that. You asked her fans to do something
and they did it, and maybe you have not thought
about it. It's about the death threats. Yeah, you haven't
right to stand up and they stop when my family
is getting death and they're still getting And the fact
she hasn't done that surprise here. That's where she has
to stand up and say, hey, you know what, all

(16:24):
all games aside, this is serious and not do that.
And I'm surprised she hasn't. She's a smart enough person
because could have done that. And I know that's what
I'm saying. Surprised she hasn't. And Bullian is not her thing.
She really isn't. But I thought she she's like she's
the girl like she is. I mean, she's when you
can win Artist of the Decade any year in the
same show the most artist of the decade had done.

(16:46):
You're You're you're celebrating that decade the past, she's been
the last decade, and then you're also in this year.
It's incredible. I watched her performance, though, and that girl
is so talented. Every number is like a Broadway show,
Like she pulls that Cats. I have heard her in Cats.
I mean, I don't know if Cats needs another song.
Cats hasn't the songs in it for me, But but

(17:09):
could sing, she could sink, She's can sing. I'm amazed,
Like I think what she'll do next, sources were telling
me is she might write a Broadway musical, Like she's
met andrewoid Webber, She's seen how much money is involved
in Broadway and she could actually write your very well
connected into the broad would be a hit you your
husband very metal? Is that Taylor Swift is talented and Cats?

(17:31):
You know, people are digging Cats a little bit at
the minute, and it does look a little strange, But
I don't know, I think it could really be great.
I'm not sure they did a new song, because any
song from the Broadway show is not eligible for an Oscar.
It has to be an original song. So whenever there's
a musical, I'll still have the originals in there. And
they have all the songs. You know Big everyone knows

(17:54):
that song, but it's but the reason they add a
new song, which might even play over the adits, is
so they can be eligible for an Oscar. She could
win an Oscar taitus with clevarn Oscar. She closer to Ega.
Let's finish off this. You're very close to them. The
Spice Girls call me what Melb's in trouble? That and
a reunion. Yes, well they did the reunion in Britain

(18:15):
and it was literally success. They did it with that posh.
They don't need posh to sell tickets. Melby has just
filed documents where she's going to leave America because she's
not earning enough money. So the way for her to
stay here challenge she did, and she said, she said
in her court documents, I haven't had to work for
a year. She said, I've got I've got no income
in America. I'm not earning money. They didn't write those

(18:36):
songs either, so they're not earning a massive royalty check either,
and so she needs a job. And she said for
the last year she she lived off the Spice Girls
Reunion tour in Britain. There's only thirteen shows. They're talking
about doing it here in America. It's a lot of them. Management,
come on, you're making a lot of money on those tours.
Rab And it's also living too large, like her rent

(18:56):
is eight thousand a month a month thousands crazy, that's
living beyond your means and it's bad management. But I
do understand there's young girls in London without any power.
You signed bad deals well and so like that goes
back to Taylor Swift and justin h Me like they

(19:16):
said that, you know, I mean, sincton learn a lot
of money either. That's a whole another documentary too. So
I mean it's just be careful if you ever get
into business, make sure you have someone stupid but also
too And I hate this expression because it's so tricky
when people say no, you're worth that's no you're worth.
You ain't worth ten million dollars. People that can't want
to work for me at Lady Goss about this kid yesterdayday,
I'm looking for a new sort of like young writer.

(19:37):
There could be any age, but a writer that's just
beginning their career. I don't care about the age, and
so that it's like forty dollars. I met this young
chap who told me he should be getting maybe no experience,
and I made me laugh and he was very much
like I've watched I Know my worth, and it's like

(19:58):
you're worth is nothing, you have no resume like it's
so interested. No, I know my worth. It ain't as
much as you think. There's a lot of people that
do this. And so when you get a record deal,
you want to sign it because you don't want to
be just playing clubs and bars. But at the same time,
you ain't going to get the deal that Celinton is
going to get right away, right or we gotta put

(20:19):
the work into it. Put the work in. With that
being said, I think we should check her worth because
how we're doing I'm pretty sure we're not getting paid
for this. We hav for you, but it's fa to do.
Thank you for listening, happy, thank you for happy talking.
I haven't looked around. Number No, we're doing all right,
doing all right, and we will talk to you now.
The Brooklyn boys beating us furious we should really mean,

(20:41):
you're in the gossip. You should start spreading rooms about
about them being start spreading rumors nasty. I would say
they're from Queens. The Brooklyn Boys are from Queens. That's
a great rum from Boston. Thank you for listening on
our radio.
