Speaker 2 (00:09):
Good morning, Anna, and welcome to Where's Your Headline At?
We have a special guest with us today. His name
is Swede.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Swede Ashton Staples is in the studio doing tummy time.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
He's doing tummy time to our left. Matt's right.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
My mum is unwell. Unfortunately, I have been really lucky.
She's come in to the studio and like taken him
for a walk pretty much since having him.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
So look at him. He's just absolutely munching on those keys,
the baby keys, the baby keys. Look at it. It's
actually really funny to watch.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It's actually so distracting.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
What's going to do next?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Okay, we have to talk about Lily Allen. This is
all over my for you page. I don't know if
it's all over your for you page. But she has
come out with a new album, the first album she's
released in seven years.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
That's a long time.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
That is a long time for an artist.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, it's titled west End Girl. It was released on
the twenty fourth of October. She has reportedly written this
album in an intense period of ten days between December
twenty twenty four in La.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I think this is a rage album.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
So she's written and recorded it in ten days. Yeah,
that's quick. Crazy, that is crazy. I've never written one song,
so I could only imagine writing a whole album in
ten days. How intense that would be.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, So let's give a little backstory. So Lily Allen
is married to David Harbor.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Now he is most famous for playing Jim Hopper in
Stranger Things. I love Stranger Things. Yeah, I'm a massive fan.
It can't wait for the new season that comes.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Out, and it's the last season that's coming out. Yes,
so this album has dropped just in time for the
last season. Okay, so if you haven't listened to this album,
you have to go listen to West End Girl. There
is no detail spared in this album. Lily Allen literally
does a tell all about their relationship.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
And I think the craziest thing that we found out.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
First and foremost was that they actually opened up their relationship.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Could you open up your relationship? Fuck?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
No, absolutely not, no way.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I mean it's brave to do that. I mean in
the first place. So I don't know how people can't
get jealous and insecure in an opennes think.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I think she was doing a play in London, he
was in the US, and I think from the album,
because I feel like the album is just basically hotel
all She said that he had said to her, a
man has needs, and so therefore she was like, Okay,
I'm just going.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
To go along with it.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Apparently they had rules and regulations that they had to
abide by, which he did not abide by. So apparently
he was meant to only hook up with.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Sex workers, paid escorts, paid escorts, and he did not
do that.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
He ended up hooking up with multiple women, brought them
back to their house, and she is pissed basically as
I would be.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
As anybody would be, yea if the tables were turned.
I actually like Lily Allen's music.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I love Lily Allen's Yeah what's the song?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And she sings you yeah it's not fair. Yeah, I
like that song. Now I want to go listen to it,
and I want to listen to this album more in details.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, well, I mean it's great marketing from her, if
you think about it, like to come out the exit
she has been She in her mind feels like she's
been royally fucked over by this guy.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
So she's like, I'm just gonna so.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
When the biggest season of one of the biggest shows
in the last for five years, yes, comes out, She's
gonna pay your tell all on them. I have noticed,
and I said this before that like they're not really
promoting him in any of the promotions for it, Like,
I'm not surprised. Yeah, Rotten Tomatoes just posted all the
posters for the new season and his poster wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm not surprised, you know what. The more that comes
out about him, the more he really is giving me.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
The eg Oh, have you seen the house tour? I've
seen it out of context. So I'm just going to
say from what I've seen in the videos, it's quite
out of context the bits that they've showed me. But
he like shows the bedroom and he's like, there's no
windows in here, and it comes across very creepy.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
The keys creepy.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, in the way. Well, I like him, I've always
liked you like.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Him as the actor in the show. You don't like
him as a.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Person, true, Yeah, I don't know him.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Him as a person doesn't sound like the best person.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
This is true as well, and.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I have proof of this.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Because there has been a note that has been leaked
from Lily Allen, and it's a note that he sent
to her on the opening night of her West End
Girl play, And this is the note he sent her.
And I want you to blind to react to this
because I think this is so telling on so many levels.
It says, my ambitious wife, these are bad luck flowers,
(05:00):
because if you get reviewed well in this play, you
will get all kinds of awards and I will be
miserable your loving husbands.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It reminds me of a relationship once upon a time
and anything that I did, any sort of opportunity that
I would get, it was like, what about me?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Am I invited? Am I involved? Are you bringing me?
Da da da da da?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And it's like that notion of not being able to
be happy for someone else is so sad.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I've been in relationships like that as well, and it's
not a good place to be.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, And I think, like a good on Lily Allen,
like if he is as toxic and narcissistic as she
says he is in this album, yeah, then maybe it
is good that everyone finds out about it.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So there's some other juicy examples from the track Madeline. Yeah,
so it says we had an arrangement. Be just screet
and don't be blatant. There had to be payment, it
had to be with strangers. But you are not a stranger, Madeleine.
So she's fully calling out someone that they know called Madeleine,
(06:11):
that slept for the husband. How long has it been
going on? Is it just sex or is their emotion?
He told me it would be in a hotel rooms
never to be open. Why would I trust anything that
comes out of his mouth?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
So that sounds like a mutual friend called Madeleine Madeleine.
I'm assuming it's not an alias name, considering she's like
letting every detail of their relationship be known.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And sorry, guys, if that was out of tone, that's
me quoting that song.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
We might play it instead of that saying it. He
might have heard it play then because.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
It was not nice, not nice, it was good. It
was good.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I mean I think we should let I think it
should be read out by you.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, I mean my reading is getting better, but I'm
not I haven't been working on my song.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
There's another quote. This is from the track Pussy Palace.
I found a shoebox full of hand written letters from
broken hearted women wishing you could have been better. Cheets,
put off the bed, They've strewn all on the floor,
long black hair probably from the night before, sex toys,
butt plugs, lube inside, hundreds of Trojans. You're so fucking broken?
(07:24):
How did I get so caught up in your double life?
So in her mind he was living a double life.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
He was completely lying to her.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Oh, like I said, from the videos, I saw a
fem out of context. He just comes across as a narcissist,
like the way he's talking to her and the way
he's in those videos. Yeah, and living a double life. Yeah,
he's just last one from the track tennis. So I
read your text and now I regret it. I can't
get my head around how you've been playing tennis. If
(07:54):
it was just sex, I wouldn't be jealous. You won't
play with me? And who's mad Line?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Mada line? Madaline's getting a bad wrap on this?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
She is? How in Trune? Was that that was a
good saying that? So, yeah, I reckon. A lot has
come out about David Hopper, and I'm sure a lot
more will come out if he's living a double life,
like maybe this Madeline girl might come out and tell
her side of things. I mean, that would be interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
And that would he would get so much more juicy.
I mean, if it's not already, it really is blowing
up on TikTok as well.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Let's sit back and enjoy this drama.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Sit back and enjoy the tea.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Guys, we will be watching along and if anything else transpires,
we will bring it back to Where's your headline? Until
next time, see ya heye
