The Entertainment Brothers
The Entertainment Brothers is a look under the hood of modern celebrity culture--how crises, controversies and confrontations control the narrative in the entertainment world, and how responding to those crises can be a celebrity's most important performance. Former People Magazine Editor in Chief Larry Hackett and veteran entertainment attorney Thomas Valentino analyze the issues of the day and offer up highly opinionated takes on what's happening. It's sports talk radio for the culture vulture in all of us.
