We deep dive into the drama that has followed the Rock since the announcement since he had pushed for Henry Cavill's return and wanted a larger role with building out the DC world.

Part 2 of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix docuseries has dropped and we got thoughts! It looks like the former Royals have spilled the tea and dived into some of the internal drama leading up to their decision to leave the institution. That + the fallout between Harry and his brother William has our tongues wagging this week! Did the last three episodes do its job in helping repair their image and tell their side of the story or was it yet another PR ploy wrapped up in poor execution?

Join us this week as we debate (or rather argue about) the details and try to make it to the other side with our friendship in tact!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are at it again with the new release of their Netflix docuseries! The first three episodes walks us through how Harry and Meghan met, how they kept their relationship under the radar, Harry’s experience growing up, Meghan’s experience growing up, the official launch of their relationship, and what happened with the British media + the initial story on Meghan’s family drama. Though some called it boring and others (mainly Royal family lovers) ripped Harry and Meghan to shreds, Netflix has said it's been their best performing documentary launch within the first week of its launch. Did the first three episodes do its job in helping repair their image and tell their side of the story or was it a PR stunt wrapped up in poor execution?

Her husband responded in a series of posts on IG and Tiktok stating “I would never control someone that’s been controlled for 13+ years.” and Britney is taking a “break” from social media after finding it “traumatizing.” and accused her fans of making things more stressful on her by being “over protective”.

Kanye West Shares First Song Since Antisemitic Interviews & Social Posts

We all know Kanye has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. His antisemetic comments have even caused Elon Musk (who we all know is pro free speech etc etc) to block his twitter. We won’t rehash all the crazy shit he’s said and done over the last 3 months or so (listen to our BBQs for that!), but he’s just released a new song called “Someday we’ll all be free” and addresses his strained relationship with Kim, the tweet that got him canceled, etc… a line from the song: “Tweeted deathcon, now we past three,

Britney Spears says she'd 'die for' her estranged sons Sean Preston, 17, and Jayden, 16, in passionate Instagram post... after the boys expressed desire to reconcile with the singer despite having 'emotional trauma'

For the last few weeks there have been rumors swirling about Britney spears. There’s been speculation for a while now that her IG is actually controlled by Sam and Jamie’s team - between the erratic pictures, captions, etc and it's led to a plethora of new conspiracy theories to develop. She's been posting photos of her in her old house - which she sold in June after her wedding to Sam. Then there was a weird bathtub post talking about how she loves to suck. Then there were the posts and videos of her in her grandma’s wedding veil and a nightgown. Then, on her birthday, she posted a tribute to Jamie-Lynn, who she openly has had a conflictual relationship with. Do we think it's Britney? Her team? Sam? Or is something else going on behind scenes?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West reach divorce settlement

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West married in 2014. After 7 years of marriage and 4 children, Kim filed for divorce in Feb 2021, citing irreconcilable differences. After almost 2 years of divorce proceedings - even though they had a prenup and kept most of their property separate (still dont get how Gisele and Tom did this shit in 4 weeks!), they are officially divorced and avoiding a trial which was set for Dec 14. While they will share custody of the kids, Kanye has been ordered to pay Kim $200,000 per month in child support, split the cost of security and school for the kids through college and are now free to go on their merry way.

After Queen Elizabeth passed a couple of months ago (RIP!), Prince Charles automatically ascended the throne - but typically, the new monarch’s coronation doesn’t happen for around a year, out of respect for the former monarch. The shocking thing is King Charles’ coronation has been announced - and the date will be May 6, 2023. The reason this is full of drama is because this also happens to be Archie’s (his grandson) birthday and people are speculating that it’s a dig at Harry and Meghan, who haven’t exactly been model royals. This week we deep dive into the details and fight tooth and nail on who the asshole here is: is it Meghan for having dug a hole with the royal family leading them to disregard the birthday of the king's grandson or is it King Charles for choosing royal pettiness and intentionally picking his coronation to overshadow his grandson?

As everyone knows, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen have finalized their divorce, supposedly amicably. Speculation is that Gisele was done when Tom un-retired at the beginning of this football season and they quietly filed for divorce, which was finalized before the start of week 8 in football.

Who’s the asshole for wanting the divorce? Gisele, who gave up her life and career for his or Tom for not keeping his promise to retire and spending time with his family?

This week we're talking through a wide range of top headlines from the week.

Taylor Swift Is Pissed Off About The Ticketmaster Fiasco

• We're sure many of you saw the ticket purchasing debacle for Taylor Swifts “The Eras Tour” (whether through headlines, tweets from Swifties waiting in the virtual queue, or watching co workers losing their shit at work in the middle of meetings). For context, Ticketmaster was in charge of managing the pre sale and apparently they had only prepared for an influx of 1.5 million people to their site, not 14 million which apparently they didn’t have the bandwidth for. This led to the website breaking, people waiting in virtual queues all day, etc. As a result of the debacle, Ticketmaster had to cancel general ticket sales on Friday due to “insufficient inventory”. People are upset with Ticketmaster, including T-swift. She let her fans know that she had worked with a "third party entity" and tried to ensure they had the capacity to sell the tickets, but clearly they didn’t and expressed how frustrated she was, but also expressed her appreciation for her fans. Interestingly enough the Justice Department is looking into this whole fiasco.

Pete Davidson And Emily Ratajkowski Get Cozy In First Pics Since Dating News

• It's finally been confirmed via several sources that Emrat and our guy Pete are an official item. TMZ and others caught the couple getting cozy when out celebrating Pete's 29th birthday. However do we think that they're relationship is a real or just another PR scheme?

Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde Are “Taking a break” After Nearly 2 Years Together

• Olivia Wilde (actor, director, producer) and Harry Styles have amicably broken up after 2 years together. We theorize what could have led to the break up.

Chris Hemsworth to take time off from acting after discovering Alzheimer’s disposition

• Chris Hemsworth decides to take some time off from the entertainment industry after learning his genetic disposition for Alzheimers during his Disney+ Docuseries "Limiteless"

How Elon Musk’s Twitter Reign Magnified his Brutal Management Style

•  Twitter is imploding as we speak. From flip flopping on the deal to firing the CEO, policy director, and half the company (3700 people). He implemented the blue check subscription which then led to a whole bunch of fraudulent accounts on its first day of launch. Now he’s reinstated Trump, Ye (Kanye), Jordan Peterson and others who had been removed from the platform. Do we think the tech giant is dying a slow death while providing better entertainment than the Real housewives franchise or is Musk just moving fast in an effort to get Twitter in tip top shape quickly?

Our girl Rihanna has returned! Not only has she made a comeback with her new single for the Wakanda Forever soundtrack, but she's also been working hard on her Savage X Fenty brand. Per usual, RiRi did not disappoint, but what was a surprise to many was her casting Johnny Depp in Volume 4 of the shows campaign.

As a result of this news, some on social media dragged Rihanna for featuring Depp in the show...which begs the question: was RiRi in the wrong or is society just overreacting?

This week we're talking through a wide range of top headlines from the week.

Sydney Sweeney calls out trolls tagging family in euphoria nude scenes.

• Sydney Sweeney (or Cassie on Euphoria) is literally everywhere right now, she’s kind of the breakout star of Euphora, IMO - Zendaya was already famous AF! Sydney also has one of the best bodies in Hollywood, and given the show is literally birth control in art form, there’s a lotttttt of sex, drugs and nudity. Lots of “fans”/trolls have been taking screenshots of her nude scenes and tagging her family (like cousins, etc) in them and she’s pretty pissed about it, stating that “You have a character that goes through the scrutiny of being a sexualized person at school and then an audience that does the same thing”.

Alec Baldwin sues crew members on “Rust” film for Halyna Hutchins shooting death

• Folks probably remember that just about a year ago, Alec Baldwin, who was filming a western film in New Mexico at the time, shot the director of photography, Halyna Hutchins dead. Alec has maintained his innocence since the incident and claims that he was unaware that the gun was loaded with live ammo. However, the DA for New Mexico has stated that she may pursue criminal charges against Alec and the crew. Alec in turn has sued the armorer, assistant director, prop master, and gun supplier, who he says are the blame for a non-cold gun being on set. 

Gisele Bundchen buys 11.5M Miami home right across from Tom Brady

• Although the divorce is final, Gisele and Tom seem to be keeping things super civil and in order to make coparenting easier, Gisele purchased a 6600 square foot mansion right across the bay from Tom - you know, so they can drop their kids off to each other by boat…

Jennifer Aniston opens up about IVF journey for the first time

• For years, the tabloids have speculated about the why behind Jennifer Aniston’s lack of children, even going so far as to saying that’s why Brad Pitt cheated on her and ultimately left her for Angelina Jolie. Jennifer has never publicly acknowledged whether she wants/wanted kids but she’s on the final ever print issue of Allure magazine (AND BTW HAVE YOU SEEEEEEEEN THE PHOTOS! I MEAN COME ON), she’s finally coming out and addressing the rumors and shared that not only did she never not want children, but that she tried for years to have a child - including IVF. 

Chris Evans New Girlfriend Confirmed: Alba Bautista

• We've all seen that Chris Evans has been crowned sexiest man alive this year, but it's also been confirmed he's been secretly dating Portuguese actress Alba Bautista for the past year (Talk about under the radar)! Photos have leaked of them walking around holding hands and generally being cure. I guess this is farewell to America's Ass

Nick Cannon Welcomes 11th Child, baby no 12 on the way. 

• How many kids can one man have?

The Basic and The Brain are back with they're regularly scheduled programming! This week we're discussing the Kardashians - not just the family, but the second season of their Hulu show and the backlash they're facing from avid viewers. It seems as if their ability to create explosive reality TV drama is fizzling out and instead of salacious moments that we all expect from the Kardashian clan, we're faced with product placements across the families MANY brands. From Kendall Jenner and 818 tequila to Skims and Kim Kardashian. Which brings us to our core question: Do the Kardashians need to keep up with their fans on their reality TV show or should they just call it quits? Do they need the show as part of their business model or are they already at the pinnacle of their fame and audience level?

Join us this week as we pick apart this season and its lack of drama all while trying to answer the question: does the show makes sense or is it just a rather large advertising forum for their families multitude of brands?

With Aleena's vanity falling off the wall and her attitude coming in full force today, we provide our thoughts on this new season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, from our honest overview of Erika Jayne's recent problematic behaviour (hitting on Garcelle's eldest son to making inappropriate comments to someone with an eating disorder), Sutton Stracke's lack of emotional intelligence, Garcelle Beauvais' pot stirring and Diana Jenkin's nouveau riche tackiness.

Not only are we getting spicy with this week's commentary, we talk about how some of these women are cougars and go deep into the societal concept of the cougar (which many of our housewives have been seen as), including the definition, what the data tells us, and the potential sociological and biological reasons for the "phenomenon". In summary, can't a girl just get some good d**k and call it a day?

Join us this week as we blow your minds around the reality of "cougars" and come to the realization that we're nearing cougar age ourselves. Watch out boys...we're coming!
