From Los Angeles

0:02

and.

0:10

One and only world famous

0:11

Perez

0:14

Hilton.

0:17

Why hello and welcome to the PHP folks.

0:20

A booker. That's Perez right there. How are

0:22

you fine, sir?

0:23

I'm excited. I'm well, But also,

0:25

you know, there's some difficult things

0:27

to talk about today and some

0:30

topics that might also upset people.

0:32

We will be discussing Megan

0:34

Markle, Scott Dissick, as well Gypsy

0:37

Rose Blanchard, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana

0:39

Grande and more. First and

0:41

exclusive. I

0:44

already posted it on my website, but I'm

0:47

just excited because I think it's a really

0:49

good exclusive that will get a lot of pickup.

0:52

Sources tell me that

0:54

Travis Kelce is getting a new

0:56

job. He's still doing football, but

0:59

around football, he's also

1:01

going to get a new TV show,

1:04

and it makes so much sense to me. He's

1:06

going to be a game show host. They're

1:09

bringing back that old game

1:11

show Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

1:13

And he's going to be the host.

1:15

R Kiddic.

1:15

That just makes a lot of sense.

1:17

You know.

1:17

The old host was that comedian Jeff

1:19

Foxworthy. Travis is very

1:22

likable. I think it's a slam dunk,

1:24

no brainer. So it'll be for Amazon,

1:26

and congratulations to Travis

1:28

Kelcey.

1:29

Sounds like a fun gig.

1:30

Yeah, I know, I gotta be on there. I need to

1:32

find a way to be on.

1:33

There as a guest or as a

1:35

host.

1:36

No, a guest, obviously, he's the host.

1:38

We play something called d student trivia on

1:40

my show, and I get so many

1:42

things wrong. It's just shit. You forget, you

1:44

know, when you learn something forty years

1:47

ago. I don't know. Maybe if you have

1:49

kids, you're better at things like that because

1:51

you can help the kids with their homework. I got no kids.

1:54

I can't remember the fourth planet

1:56

from the Sun.

1:57

All right, I'll test you right now, Mercury,

1:59

Venus, Mark, I'm smart. I'm gonna

2:01

get my timer going.

2:03

Okay, see, I'm gonna

2:05

fail this.

2:06

This will be a good one. This will be a good one. All right. In

2:09

a minute, name as

2:11

many states as possible.

2:13

Go Alabama, Lasta, Arizona, Arkansas, California,

2:15

Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii,

2:18

Idaho, Illinois, and Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,

2:20

Louisiada, made Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri,

2:22

Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New

2:24

York. I can name all the states.

2:26

Oly, shit, that's hard. I would

2:28

have not have been able to do that.

2:29

Oh my god, that's an easy one

2:31

for me.

2:31

That's easy. Hell is that easy for you?

2:34

Well, there's that song you learn as a kid.

2:36

I guess I didn't learn that.

2:38

Yeah, it's like Alabama, Alaska, Arizona,

2:41

Arkansas. It's like hooked on Phonics or something.

2:43

That was a good one. Wow, you see

2:45

you do better than you think you would.

2:47

I don't think so. Do you know all of your

2:49

planets?

2:50

I don't even know how many there are, like nine,

2:53

twelve, ten something.

2:54

I keep adding some, but I'm just the ones

2:57

that we learn Mercury, Venus,

2:59

Earth, Jupiter, Saturday, Uranus

3:01

not to and Pluto.

3:03

Urinus is not called Uranus anymore?

3:05

Ah, they changed Urinus.

3:06

Yeah, let's see Urinus. Is

3:08

it still called Uranus?

3:10

Who knows? And like the last one

3:13

they decided wasn't a planet

3:15

anymore, it's just gas or something. Who fucking

3:17

knows. But yeah, I don't think I do very well on

3:19

that show.

3:20

Well, congratulations to Travis Kelsey

3:22

and Amazon. Good fit there. I

3:24

had a pretty good weekend. Did nothing. Saint

3:26

Patrick's Day. Well I did. I went to like a small

3:29

birthday thing. I went to another one on

3:31

Saturday. I'm still unpacking. Yeah,

3:33

really exciting stuff.

3:35

Yes, dam I did Weezer

3:37

Friday night. Oh,

3:39

Highland Park, which I'd never been

3:41

to before. It's like next to Pasadena.

3:43

It's really cool because it felt like Pittsburgh or something

3:46

over there. It's a totally interesting

3:48

pocket of LA that did not feel like LA.

3:50

And went out afterwards and they did the whole

3:53

Blue album and Keanu Reeves band opened

3:55

up. It was so cool. Was it this tiny like Masonic

3:58

temple. It was a cool like thing.

4:00

So Keanu was there then?

4:01

Yeah, Keanu was there. He was He's in the Man

4:04

still, he's in dog Star. Yeah, he's the bassist.

4:06

Oh so fun, What

4:08

a fun night. I've never seen Weezer live. I've

4:10

gotta I've got to see them too.

4:12

You gotta see this Blue album tour because they're

4:14

doing the whole first album and then the hits,

4:16

so I mean they just play the hits. Fun night,

4:18

all right?

4:19

Well, oh you.

4:20

Know what, I also met the kid

4:22

Joe Joe Keirey from Stranger Things.

4:25

He goes by d j O Joe.

4:27

You just don't pronounce the D. But he has a

4:30

song out about like Chicago, back

4:32

to the Beginning or something like that. It's so

4:34

so good. It's like John Hughes eighties

4:37

sounding, and at first I wanted to hate it because

4:39

he's an actor and you know actor singing. Speaking

4:42

of Keanu Reeves, well, he doesn't sing. But it's

4:44

a great, great song and it's like one of those

4:46

ones it's like gets stuck in your head and it totally

4:49

feels like it's out of a John Hughes film. But

4:51

guys, check that out, Joe dj

4:54

Oh, I gotta check it out. He's from

4:56

Stranger Things.

4:57

I know what he looks like. I know who he is. Yeah,

4:59

he looks you know, dirty.

5:02

He doesn't. He's incredibly good looking

5:04

and thin in person. You look at him, you're like,

5:06

oh, he looks like an actor, of course.

5:07

Oh I know, but he just looks dirty, you know, like that

5:10

British, very British is dirty.

5:12

Esthetic Yeah, he's not British, he's not.

5:15

Why do I think he was British? You sure he's

5:17

not British. He's not British.

5:19

He gives me Pete Dorty. Maybe's because he looks

5:22

like Pete Doherty.

5:23

Maybe that's it. Now you said that,

5:25

and now I can't see it. You're right, he looks

5:27

like Pete Doherty totally.

5:29

And actually I think I know

5:31

that we have international listeners. I

5:33

don't even think British people pronounce

5:35

Pete Doherty's name that way. I think it's

5:38

Doherty. Oh really, I could be

5:40

wrong. Eight hundred seven one five.

5:43

Correct me if I'm mistaken. Not

5:45

a clue, all right. This one

5:48

photo has gone viral

5:51

of Scott Disick going out

5:53

to dinner in Los Angeles and

5:57

he appears to have

5:59

lost a considerable amount

6:01

of weight, and people

6:03

being people in social media doing

6:06

what it does, Folks have begun

6:08

to speculate, and it makes me sad

6:11

because I don't want I'm not gonna. I

6:13

don't fucking know. When you speculate, you have no

6:15

idea. My initial reaction

6:18

after seeing that photo was not drugs.

6:21

I actually hope it's drugs. I looked

6:23

at that photo and I'm like, God, he looks he looks like

6:25

he might have cancer, and like, that's just

6:27

speculation, but I hope I'm wrong.

6:29

I just figured ozempic because everybody

6:32

else in this town is on it.

6:33

He never needed it was zeb Big. He

6:35

was never overweight. It's not Azem

6:37

Big.

6:38

Did he have a pudgy thing.

6:39

He was never even slightly pudgy.

6:41

I clearly don't keep up on Scott Dissick or

6:43

what the fuck he's up to, but I just made the

6:45

assumption that he's just another person that decided

6:48

to get really thin, because that's what everybody in this town

6:50

is doing right now.

6:51

Well, tonight, that special with

6:53

Oprah errors on ABC and Hulu,

6:56

and I got really sentimental watching

6:58

clips because she's in front of us studio audience,

7:01

and it just took me back to the days of the

7:03

Oprah Winfrey Show, and nobody's

7:05

as good as her in my opinion, Like I wish

7:08

they would bring it back, Like let's just say, you

7:10

know what, We're gonna do the Oprah Winfrey Show for

7:12

five more years, a five year encore,

7:15

and then we'll.

7:16

Call it a day or pull with John Stewart

7:18

and just do one day a week, because that's fucking

7:20

awesome. The one day is great. I can take

7:22

my time all week long getting to it and

7:25

watch clips, and you know, do that, Oprah.

7:27

I mean, what's wrong with that idea?

7:28

Maybe she just doesn't want to work that much, which

7:31

is fine.

7:32

John Stewart's putting a lot of work into it because

7:34

his monologues are so incredibly

7:36

thought out and just his timing

7:39

is impeccable.

7:39

Still, I love that you're enjoying it so much.

7:42

Good, good, good. What's weird is I've

7:44

not seen a single clip

7:47

of John Stewart go viral

7:49

on social media.

7:50

Really, God, it's my entire feed. Maybe

7:53

it's just the algorithm what you're into. I

7:55

mean, I get it. Every day. I'll literally

7:57

see the entire show, including the guests

7:59

at some point on TikTok or

8:02

on Instagram. You didn't see the clip about the dog,

8:04

about his dog, Dian.

8:05

I did see that. That's the only thing.

8:07

Yeah, okay, I mean there's only been two shows,

8:09

all right, all right.

8:10

Well, their social team needs

8:12

to step it up, It's all I'm saying. Maybe,

8:15

all right, speaking of speculating, that's

8:17

what people continue to do about

8:20

Princess Catherine, and over

8:22

the weekend she was spotted out

8:24

and about in public with her

8:27

husband. That was very

8:30

strategic. Everything

8:33

the British Royal family does,

8:36

every single thing, is

8:38

calculated and it needs to

8:40

be because they've got to keep this archaic,

8:43

outdated, irrelevant

8:46

thing going forward. They

8:48

or maybe they don't. I mean, like, let's

8:50

think about that for a minute, Like, what if

8:52

all of a sudden, like every member of the

8:54

British royal family just says, well, we don't

8:56

believe in the monarchy anymore and we want it to

8:58

end.

8:59

Yeah, checking out, There's no way

9:01

that check is too good. The parks are too

9:03

great, the lifestyle is awesome. Who

9:05

would do that?

9:06

I mean, that's the thing though. The lifestyle isn't

9:08

that awesome. It comes with a ton of

9:11

drama, and they actually have

9:13

to work, like they expect them to put

9:15

in all of these hours, going to all these

9:17

obligations and shaking hands and stupid

9:20

chit chat with thousands of people every

9:22

fucking year.

9:23

How many people in the family actually have

9:25

to do that.

9:26

Well, still, it's King Charles

9:28

and his siblings, the late Queen's

9:31

children, and then his son and

9:34

Kate Middleton, Princess Catherine, and

9:37

every once in a while some of the other outliers

9:39

will also take on royal engagements.

9:41

But like I said, strategic

9:43

that we saw them together, especially because

9:45

in the wake of Princess

9:48

Catherine's extended recovery.

9:51

All of these rumors that

9:53

have been around for a while have resurfaced,

9:56

specifically that Prince William

9:59

has had and may possibly

10:01

still have a mistress.

10:04

The wildest rumor is that this

10:06

woman Rose, whatever the fuck her

10:08

name is, Rose Handby, Hanbury

10:10

Hanby, I don't even remember Rose. It's

10:13

because there's a stupid room.

10:16

God, I'll get to the stupid

10:18

rumor. But there's a rumors upon rumors.

10:21

The one rumor is that Rose, at

10:23

the end of last year got

10:25

pregnant with Prince William's baby

10:28

and decided to keep it. Dun dun,

10:30

dum. I

10:32

mean it's possible. I guess

10:35

anything is possible, but highly

10:37

unlikely.

10:38

I will Yeah, Look, it's a different day,

10:40

you know, when there was no social media and there

10:42

was no press to this magnitude

10:44

that can really find out things, you

10:46

know what I mean, It'd be almost impossible

10:49

to hide a relationship at their

10:51

level, as much scrutiny impressed

10:53

that's around them, nearly

10:55

impossible. You know.

10:56

Prince William lives in these very

10:59

big palaces and Windsor and

11:01

then he has Kensington Palace in London,

11:03

and there are many entrances there

11:06

that somebody could sneak into.

11:07

After everything with your parents. I mean, yeah,

11:10

I guess the apple falling from the tree, that whole

11:12

thing.

11:12

No, I don't believe it either.

11:14

I don't believe it at all.

11:15

I don't believe it either.

11:16

And look at the guy. He doesn't look like he's got game

11:18

either. Give me a break.

11:19

Even worse or more ridiculous than

11:21

oh, she's she's pregnant and had the baby

11:23

or's having the baby. Every once in

11:26

a while, the wildest, stupidest,

11:28

grossest rumor that she

11:32

can't even say it.

11:33

It's not dumb.

11:35

It's like he has a nickname,

11:37

something about pegging. Basically, this

11:39

rumor that she fitts Prince William goes

11:42

viral every once in a while, like

11:45

so dumb, so dumb.

11:47

So I don't believe any of

11:50

that. And then people are now like, I

11:52

was about to stay nice to see Princess Catherine

11:54

out and about this weekend. But then people are like, why

11:56

were there no photos? How come there were no photos of the

11:58

outing? How can we really believe it were no photos

12:00

of her? But then the thing is, like, people are so dumb even

12:02

if there were photos of her, Like

12:05

there was a photo of her last week, people think

12:07

that was photoshopps. Like, if there's no

12:09

photos, people are suspicious. If there are photos,

12:11

people are suspicious. We're living in

12:13

the land of de Lulu.

12:15

Well, and there's still under the date

12:17

of when she said she'd be out. She

12:20

said she's checking out to what It's not

12:22

Easter yet after March thirty first,

12:24

so we've still got over two weeks. I'm

12:27

telling you. I still think to this day she

12:29

just regrets putting out the photo and probably

12:32

shouldn't even have done that. She should have just said, you know

12:34

what, I'm on break And I bet they

12:36

just regret even doing that.

12:37

Oh yeah, because she just.

12:38

Did what everybody else does, photoshops

12:41

things. But I still think she's got some sort

12:43

of GI disease that they're not discussing,

12:46

and she had something done, but who

12:48

knows.

12:48

I hate speculating. The latest

12:50

rumor that I saw is she

12:53

had something that would be embarrassing

12:55

to reveal, specifically surgery

12:58

on her bowels.

13:00

Why would that be embarrassing and that would be a GI

13:02

disease?

13:02

Yeah, I don't fucking know why that would be embarrassing, But

13:05

that's that's the theory that they didn't reveal

13:07

it because they think it's embarrassed.

13:08

I don't. I don't. Yeah, I'm not buying

13:10

that either. I don't think any of this is embarrassing,

13:12

Like illness is not embarrassing. Yeah,

13:15

if I got testicular cancer, I wouldn't

13:17

be embarrassed about it. I'd be bummed that I had

13:19

testicular cancer or the other one, prostate

13:22

cancer, like I did something to get it.

13:24

Also, there are reports

13:27

that when Princess Catherine does

13:29

return to her royal engagements, that

13:31

she will open up in detail

13:34

and specifically about what she

13:36

went through, which I think that would be a good

13:38

idea. I mean, I don't think she needs to,

13:40

but I think it would be a good idea just to like

13:42

silence for good.

13:44

To squash all this crap. And I think it's

13:46

a little bit of hey assholes,

13:48

you know what I mean, Like she's not gonna say that, but she's

13:50

gonna do it because she wants to say, hey,

13:53

assholes. I asked for privacy. I didn't

13:55

mean for this to turn into what it did. I didn't

13:57

want it to be that. In my wildest dreams. I couldn't

14:00

thought it was going to be this. When I told

14:02

you guys, we were coming back to Easter, but

14:04

I think that's going to happen and it's just going to make a lot

14:07

of publications look like shit. Yeah.

14:09

Well, speaking of the British royal family, over

14:12

here, the Americans, Megan

14:14

Markle and her husband are making

14:16

headlines for a couple

14:18

of reasons. First, Prince William's

14:21

sister in law has launched

14:24

a new company called American

14:27

Riviera Orchard and

14:30

pretty smart. Actually it's

14:32

a soft launched, a soft launch.

14:34

They've created an Instagram account

14:37

which already has in less

14:39

than a week over five hundred

14:41

thousand followers. And if you go to

14:43

the website Americanriviera dot

14:46

com, it's a placeholder

14:48

and it says join the wait list,

14:51

which is a really smart way to

14:53

gauge interest so

14:55

that before you launch any products,

14:58

you can be as st is possible,

15:01

like, Okay, if we have these many people interested,

15:03

then maybe like ten percent of them might actually

15:06

buy something, so we need to

15:08

know not to make more than this. YadA, YadA YadA.

15:10

Apparently it's gonna be like a lifestyle

15:13

brand like Martha Stewart so home

15:15

goods. Although I actually

15:18

think my guess is like hello,

15:20

if you're calling yourselves the

15:22

Instagram handle American Riviera

15:24

Orchard. They're gonna launch with wine.

15:27

I would think from the orchard

15:30

from Montecito, where they make a lot of wine.

15:32

It would only make sense.

15:33

When I hear orchard, I think apple's though vineyard,

15:36

I think wine.

15:37

Oh you're right.

15:38

So to me, orchard sounds

15:40

more like a you know, we're gonna make fucking

15:43

sheets, That's what it sounds like to make.

15:44

Well, they're gonna make all that. She's got everything

15:47

registered and trademarked

15:50

and able to sell all of that with the name.

15:52

But the thing that upsets me, here's the real

15:54

issue. When she launched this Instagram

15:57

page, she said American Riviera

16:00

Orchard by Meghan, the Duchess

16:02

of Sussex. She

16:06

removed herself from

16:08

that situation that she has

16:10

repeatedly shit on, and

16:13

yet she is still now

16:15

using that institution to

16:18

make money.

16:19

This justin as I've always said, she's

16:21

full of shit. They both are. What

16:23

else do they have?

16:24

I mean, that's rude, disrespectful.

16:27

It is hypocritical.

16:29

Hypocritical is the word. That's what they are. Hypocrites.

16:31

You hate it so much, you're still

16:34

aligning yourself.

16:35

Surfing off of it.

16:36

Yeah, she could have used her

16:38

maiden name, which we all know, Megan

16:40

Markle, or she could have used her married

16:43

name mean Botton windsor

16:46

as some of our supporters

16:48

have clarified or made sure that I

16:50

specified, it's mont Boughton windsor

16:53

not Sussex as they're trying to rebrand.

16:56

So very hypocritical, and

16:58

that's not all. According to other

17:00

reports, Megan after previously

17:04

doing really boring programming

17:06

for both Spotify and

17:08

Netflix, although some might argue

17:11

that their docu multipart

17:13

film or whatever you want to call it, that was not boring.

17:16

Yeah, I was fascinating to just see

17:18

inside of their house.

17:20

So she's going back to

17:22

Netflix, according to reports,

17:24

and is going to do a cooking show,

17:27

which isn't celebrities cooking played

17:29

out? Like, do we need another celebrity

17:32

cooking show?

17:33

Those shows are hard. You really can

17:35

get a vibe on somebody pretty quick

17:37

if they're unlikable, and she's just a big

17:40

fraud. To me, she's just a big phony. Go

17:42

ahead, do it. I can't wait to see

17:44

it. A goof on it.

17:45

I don't know, like Martha Stewart's

17:47

unlikable yet I love her.

17:49

Wait a minute, Martha Stewart is not unlikable.

17:52

I know she's lovable, are you killing?

17:55

Yes?

17:55

I mean she's a bit she gives off bitch

17:57

vibes, but I still love her that.

17:59

It's not that and bitch vibes are

18:01

fine when you know what you're

18:04

talking about. And Martha Stewart is

18:07

so well versed in everything she's

18:09

speaking of. It's not like somebody gave her

18:11

like some lines to read when she's

18:13

making eggs, you know what I mean, Like she knows

18:15

the exact way how to make an egg. It's

18:18

not put on, it's not phony. Is

18:20

this duchess of my balls? Whatever?

18:22

Is she really a cook in the side and we didn't

18:25

know this? No, she's not. She didn't go to

18:27

culinary school. Martha Stewart's been

18:29

doing this for decades. So you know, when your personality

18:31

comes out and your little you know, you're a little quick

18:33

or you're a little sharp, it's cool, you

18:35

know. But I'm telling you, I'm gonna

18:38

say this is gonna make her look like a big fraud.

18:40

I know, I doubt it. I mean, it's not a live

18:42

show. They'll be able to edit out anything

18:45

that's not good.

18:46

You see all these Instagram TikTok

18:49

chefs that have no idea what the fuck they're doing.

18:51

It's so clear that they took a recipe

18:54

from somebody else and they're passing it off

18:56

as their own.

18:57

Oh, that's what ninety five percent of

18:59

them do.

19:00

All right, And that's exactly it. It's gonna

19:02

reek of that. And every time I can tell,

19:04

I can tell who knows how to cook. I can

19:06

tell, like when I'm watching somebody make ribs

19:08

on TikTok, I can tell just by

19:10

the way they handle things, unless

19:12

she's doing it like Selena Gomes. Selena

19:15

Gomez is like she came in like I don't

19:17

know shit about this and I'm gonna learn

19:19

with you guys, and that made

19:21

it more authentic. So maybe

19:24

it just depends on the angle.

19:25

We'll see that. Kudos to them for continuing

19:28

the hustle and the grift.

19:30

What else are they gonna do.

19:31

In other social media news, Gypsy

19:34

Rose Blanchard deleting

19:37

all of her socials. The

19:40

ex con former Inmate

19:43

has said that she apologizes

19:47

for not taking more accountability.

19:50

She says, to all the people that I offended

19:53

with the lack of accountability the first

19:55

month or so that I was out of prison

19:57

and the lack of accountability in my interview.

20:00

I'm sorry, I'm learning. I

20:02

take accountability for my part, and

20:04

I'm saying this right now. I'm taking

20:07

accountability. I did a bad

20:09

thing. I have been given a second

20:11

chance at life. Give me a

20:13

little grace. Let my actions much

20:15

my blahlahlahlah lah. So she said

20:17

goodbye to social media and just deleted

20:19

them, which actually I think is

20:22

the smartest thing that she could do

20:24

if she if she wants to live

20:26

a normal, happy, healthy

20:29

life.

20:29

By the way, and I think that's admirable.

20:31

I think that she did come

20:33

out of the gate like a puke and we all were like,

20:36

what the hell are you doing? And

20:38

it shows me that there's a real person

20:41

inside of her somewhere, and she could kind of

20:43

maybe read the room a little bit. She's not off

20:45

the reservation completely.

20:47

Yeh and plot

20:50

twist. That's what she

20:52

wanted us to believe. However,

20:55

according to People Magazine, which

20:58

I have said before, they are the most credible

21:00

celebrity news publication, People

21:03

Magazine says that her deleting

21:05

her socials was quote at

21:07

the advisement of her parole

21:09

officer, so she won't get

21:12

in trouble or go back to jail. So

21:14

basically, her parole officer said, you should delete

21:16

your socials and she did good

21:18

on her. You know, it's being out

21:21

of jail is more important

21:23

than being a social media influenza.

21:24

I choose to be optimistic on this, and

21:27

I choose to believe that maybe

21:29

there's a human being inside of there and

21:32

she's getting it together. That's what

21:34

I'm choosing to believe. I'm probably

21:36

dead fucking wrong, but that's what

21:38

I'm hopeful of. Anyhow.

21:40

Congrats to her for being

21:42

a human being that's accountable.

21:45

All right, some music news, congratulations

21:48

to Ariana Grande. She

21:51

had I mean we're only in March, but still

21:53

her new album is the biggest debut

21:56

of the year, coming in at number

21:58

one on the Billboard two hundred.

22:00

She moved over two hundred and

22:02

twenty seven thousand units,

22:05

which for twenty twenty four I would say

22:07

is very big. Sure, Arianna

22:09

came in at number one. Last week,

22:12

I mentioned how Jennifer lopez

22:14

Is album debuted at number

22:16

thirty eight on this this same list,

22:18

the Billboard two hundred chart. It's second

22:21

week off the chart completely.

22:24

It went from number thirty eight to not even

22:26

the top two hundred. Bless. All

22:28

right, more music related news.

22:30

She's going to fire that manager. He's got

22:32

to go.

22:33

Oh, here's some tea. Actually, I'll save

22:35

that for the Patreon. Oh okay, all right,

22:37

let me make a note. I have another thing that I

22:39

was going to talk about today, but I'm like, you know what, that's another Patreon

22:42

thing that Patreon too.

22:43

Everybody is on Thursday if you'd like to subscribe.

22:46

Patreon dot com slash

22:48

Perez Hilton. Okay.

22:50

An update. I mentioned

22:53

on the podcast a while ago

22:55

that Kelly Clarkson was

22:58

seeking money from her ex husband,

23:01

specifically because she went and filed

23:03

the complaint. I think it was with

23:06

the Labor Board, claiming that her

23:08

manager acted as her agent,

23:11

and that is technically illegal. But

23:14

I've been around show business long enough to

23:16

know that every fucking manager does that.

23:18

What's the point of a fucking manager then.

23:21

If they can't do anything, if you've got their hands

23:23

tied, Yeah.

23:24

They all fucking do that. This is such a

23:26

slimy, shady move in my

23:28

opinion. So after the labor

23:30

board or the organization ruled

23:33

in Kelly Clarkson's favor, she now

23:35

has sued her ex husband

23:38

and her former father in law,

23:40

the father and grandfather

23:42

of her children, and she is demanding

23:45

two point six million dollars.

23:47

How much money did this guy take?

23:49

At least two point six million.

23:51

Dollars right about that, but I'm

23:53

thinking it must be a lot more.

23:55

His lawyer counters that he used

23:57

the money to pay for his

24:00

share of everything when they were.

24:02

Tell it Clarks and Ink, which you know, that's

24:04

plausible.

24:05

Not just Kelly Clark's and Inc. But Kelly Clark's

24:07

in Home Life, so home house and

24:09

everything. You know, he contributed

24:11

to that. So we'll see what happens

24:14

there. But I don't know, like she's

24:16

got a talk show, she's making so much money

24:18

now, even if it's

24:21

just it's it's sucky,

24:23

it's sucky.

24:24

I mean the old adage is what you know, the question

24:26

is why is divorced so expensive? And the

24:28

answer is because it's worth it, you know,

24:30

And I think it's a little bit of that. You know, you get

24:33

into a marriage with somebody, you

24:35

got to expect if you're going to get out of it, it's going

24:37

to get ugliest, especially in the state of California.

24:40

Then you get into business with your husband,

24:42

and you know, he's gonna want his take

24:44

and I hate to say it, but rightfully

24:46

so, but you know, because that's what she

24:48

and they agreed to at that time. So I

24:51

don't know. It's it's really hard. You know, she's

24:53

just pure talent, and it's maybe

24:55

hard to see it that way the way I just

24:57

mapped it out. But it may just be

24:59

that, you know, he could be a slime bucket.

25:02

I don't fucking know.

25:03

It seems like he's a slime bucket. But she chose

25:05

to have children with him. I wonder if

25:07

she has a gag order

25:09

like preventing him from talking

25:12

to their children about all of

25:14

these legal issues.

25:15

Yeah, I don't know.

25:16

They're young, They're not young enough

25:18

to not understand mommy's

25:20

suing daddy.

25:22

I don't know about that. Look, I haven't

25:24

seen anything, like read anything. He's out

25:26

there yappin'. Everything i've heard is

25:28

through court papers, which what

25:30

are you supposed to do there? There's nothing you could do,

25:33

and he's gonna won his take, and I

25:35

don't know. It just sucks. Well.

25:36

In other music related news,

25:39

you know what, I'm really excited

25:42

about the future of music because

25:45

of Beyonce, meaning Just

25:47

this year she had a number

25:49

one song with that Texas Hold Them, that

25:51

went to number one.

25:52

And stayed at number one for a very long time.

25:54

Yeah, and then last year her break

25:57

My Soul went to number one as well. And

26:00

it used to be so rare that

26:03

a female or even male pop

26:05

star in their fifties could have a

26:07

number one song on the Billboard Hot one hundred.

26:09

Is Beyonce in her fifties?

26:11

Did I say fifties? I'm in forties, sorry.

26:13

To say, I don't think Beyonce was fifty.

26:15

Yeah. Katy Perry's working on new music

26:17

and she's being very strategic.

26:20

She's told us that her next album

26:22

is going to be a dance album.

26:24

It could be her renaissance moment. I hope so.

26:26

Well, back to your original thought there, I

26:28

don't think it's going to be as unusual as it used

26:31

to be, only because the state of

26:33

music sucks.

26:34

Well, there aren't as many superstars. Also,

26:36

let's just.

26:36

Look at Texas Hold Them. It is a master

26:39

class in a pop song. Everybody's

26:41

gonna go it's a country song. No it's not. It's a fucking pop

26:43

song, Okay, Like Texas Holdham is a pop

26:46

song and It's what I always talk

26:48

about on this show, getting back to the

26:50

basics of what pop music is.

26:52

Pop stars have gotten so far

26:55

away from it, and everybody's doing the

26:57

exact same sound. So what does she do.

26:59

She goes back to the basics and does the

27:01

verse, chorus, verse, right down the middle. It

27:04

just is a masterclass in a

27:06

pop song. And pop music always

27:09

like ebbs and flows. You'll have like I

27:11

remember the eighties. Everybody's like, you know,

27:13

the eighties is so herald It is like the

27:15

generation of the great eighties pop

27:18

music. It was till about

27:20

nineteen eighty seven or eighty

27:22

eight. Then the fucking wheels came off.

27:25

Music was shit, It was awful.

27:27

Michael Bolton ruled the fucking pop charge.

27:30

I love Michael Bolton.

27:31

Tell me how that booth

27:35

to hot ac, It moved

27:37

to hair bands. Pop

27:40

radio lost its way.

27:41

What do you talk? You're crazy? Eighties.

27:45

I was in radio in nineteen eighty nine.

27:47

We still had Madonna, we had Janet

27:49

Jackson popping, we had point.

27:51

You're proving my point. We had all of them

27:54

until about nineteen eighty seven,

27:56

nineteen eighty eight. Then the wheels. Fellow, what are

27:58

you talking about?

27:59

Madonna's he was the post eighty

28:01

seven.

28:02

No way, Madonna's peak was nineteen eighty

28:04

four, eighty five, six, those years.

28:06

Yes, express Yourself like a

28:08

Prayer Vogue, those were all eighty eight

28:10

eighty nine.

28:10

Madonna the anomaly. Everybody

28:13

Else's whom I'm talking about, all right.

28:16

Jenna Jackson was still phenomenal

28:18

and thriving in the late eighties.

28:20

That's the Taylor Swift, that's the Beyonce. And

28:22

yes, there are always the outliers, the

28:24

big ones. It was the second tier in

28:26

the late eighties. The tires came

28:29

off and didn't come back until boy

28:31

bands hit. Boy Bands hit in the

28:33

mid nineties, and then pop music

28:35

was back again, but there was a lull. I'm

28:37

just saying pop music is got to

28:40

get back to the basics, and Beyonce is

28:42

putting a master class on right now

28:44

on how to do that. And that's what's happening.

28:46

And I hope it back to your very first

28:48

point about you're hopeful for music, I

28:50

am too, because when you see that, you

28:53

say, wow, Hopefully more people

28:55

will catch on and do this. That's so

28:57

obvious. Just make good pop songs.

29:00

Well, speaking of boy bands, justin

29:02

Timberlake released his new album,

29:04

and I didn't fucking

29:07

listen to it, did you?

29:08

I did not. I had

29:10

only read yesterday that it dropped.

29:13

It didn't even get to me that he dropped the whole

29:15

album, and I was busy, so I was

29:17

like, I'll get to it this week.

29:19

I had zero interest

29:21

or desire to listen to it. Speaking

29:24

of music, Dylan mulvaney,

29:26

this transgender content

29:29

creator, released a song that

29:31

got everybody talking. I saw

29:33

so many videos about it on

29:36

all the social media platforms. The

29:38

songs called days of Girlhood

29:41

and Hello. It's a

29:43

song from a social media

29:45

star, Like what do you expect? Like,

29:48

it's not good. It's not bad either,

29:50

It's just so cheesy and shallow.

29:53

And the thing though, that I want to clarify

29:55

a lot of people were triggered

29:57

and upset, but Dylan will is

30:00

not talking or trying to represent

30:02

anybody but her. This is

30:05

her truth, her song, her silliness,

30:07

her whatever she wanted to get out there. It's not that

30:10

deep. People, there's just so much

30:12

anti trans hatred and anything

30:15

just upsets them so much. Yeah,

30:18

all right, more music News. Patreon

30:20

supporter Stephanie Valenti

30:22

asks, what are your thoughts

30:25

on North's interview Northwest

30:27

Kim Kanye's daughter. Do you agree

30:30

with the amount of exposure she

30:32

is receiving at her age? And do

30:34

you think it will only get more intense

30:37

for her? Those are great questions.

30:39

Sure if you missed it over the weekend,

30:42

Northwest was interviewed about

30:44

her upcoming debut album.

30:47

But the interviewer was done by

30:49

a thirteen year old girl, So that felt

30:51

okay and safe to me. You know, Oh,

30:54

she's only three years older, Like that's fine.

30:56

You don't have Rolling Stone out there talking to her.

30:59

Yeah, I find that problematic.

31:01

And I'm not her dad or her

31:03

mom, so I don't know. It's a decision that they made,

31:06

and they probably thought, oh, you know, no

31:08

matter what we do, she's still gonna be very well

31:10

known, so might as well just lean into it.

31:12

I think it's just a hobby at the moment. Will

31:15

she stick with it? I don't know. Maybe who

31:17

knows.

31:18

She's kid.

31:18

Kids are whimsical. They changed their

31:20

minds. And if I was filthy

31:23

wretch and my kid wanted to record a song and

31:25

I was a songwriter, I'd probably let them too.

31:27

To each his own, you know, Could I see

31:30

this going the wrong way. But if you want me answer

31:32

that question, fuck yeah, I could totally

31:34

see this going the wrong way. I could see this being a

31:36

horrible idea. But I agree

31:38

with Perez. It's not my fucking kid, do

31:40

you. I mean, if you think you can manage it, okay,

31:43

great, I really don't care.

31:44

Fiona Beaming, another Patreon

31:47

supporter, asked for my thoughts on

31:49

Amanda Bynes being interviewed

31:51

by the paparazzi. And I

31:53

didn't even go seek this out because

31:56

if Amanda Bynes releases something

31:58

herself on social media, that's one

32:01

thing. But I don't want to watch her be grilled

32:03

by the paparazzi. I don't think she's in

32:05

a good place to be answering paparazzi

32:08

questions or judged on them.

32:10

Yeah, exactly. And of course they're going to

32:12

ask her questions. They don't care, they're the

32:14

paparazzi. So there was

32:17

that. Also some wacky news

32:19

this actress speaking

32:21

out about how Johnny Depp was

32:23

awful to her on the film set.

32:26

Wow, shocking news.

32:29

His professional reputation precedes

32:32

him.

32:32

I saw a funny Johnny Depp quote.

32:34

It's pretty good. He was talking about

32:37

being in love with two women, and he

32:39

said, if you're in love with two women, choose

32:41

the second because you left

32:44

the first one for the second. In the first place,

32:46

you cheated on the first one to get to the second

32:48

one. I was like, I don't know where that came from or

32:51

how real it is, but uh, it

32:53

was funny.

32:54

Next season on vander Pump

32:56

Rules, I'm giving you all a

32:58

spoiler alert. Okay, I'm

33:01

sure there'll be another season. They're going to bring back

33:03

Rachel. I don't know for sure that that's just a guess,

33:06

a hunch, but will. The latest news

33:08

is that that restaurant, the

33:10

eatery that Tom Schwartz and Tom

33:12

Sandoval opened Schwartz and Sandy's,

33:15

is struggling very little customers.

33:18

They've pared down their menu,

33:20

offering less, so I

33:23

obviously expect them to show

33:25

that next season on the show. Also,

33:28

speaking of TV news, former

33:30

talk show host James Cordon

33:33

has a new show. He's now doing

33:36

a show for Serious XM,

33:38

which I didn't hear any buzz about.

33:41

And is that a downgrade?

33:43

Well, I mean it's a money take. Conan O'Brien

33:45

does one for them, and you know they pay these

33:47

people a ton of money. I just don't know who's listening

33:50

to them. Yeah, I've never heard anybody say, well, I heard

33:52

on Conan O'Brien the other day. I don't know that

33:54

programming is for old fucking people. There's

33:56

no young people listening to serious XM. It

33:58

costs money. Yeah news.

34:00

Let's end things with a few positive

34:02

items. Okay, Bella Hadid,

34:05

the model has a new boyfriend.

34:08

She's dating this Latino cowboy

34:11

and things are so serious with

34:14

her and the professional horseback

34:16

writer and trainer that she's

34:19

bought a house in Texas to be

34:21

with him, so she's living in

34:23

Fort Worth. Also another Travis

34:25

Kelsey update. Travis

34:27

and Patrick Mahomes are opening

34:30

a steakhouse in Kansas

34:32

City. I saw that, so they better be

34:34

there regularly or I would be pissed. At least

34:36

once a month, each of them needs to be there,

34:39

I think I would imagine, so like after

34:41

games and stuff like.

34:42

That, all they got to do is Dragon Taylor Swift

34:44

once it's yeah, hit for the next year.

34:46

All right, one last item,

34:49

but before that, a thank you to some

34:51

recent Patreon subscribers,

34:54

Sharon Bison, Lizzie

35:05

35:14

congratulations to Danielle

35:16

Brigoli aka the Cashmi

35:19

Outside Girl, also known as Bad

35:21

Baby, the Only Fans Superstar

35:24

just welcomed her first child.

35:27

She's no longer a teenager. She's twenty

35:29

years old. She and her boyfriend

35:31

have been dating. I think about a year. Mazl

35:34

Let's take some calls hi grass high

35:36

booker.

35:36

This is Geraldine from New York. So when

35:38

he comes to Jennifer Lopez, I don't

35:41

understand why people

35:43

don't like her music more after all

35:45

of these years. People say she can't

35:47

sing, but honestly, a lot of singers

35:49

out there don't have that grave a voice. It's

35:51

not like they all are like Ariana Grande.

35:54

She is a good performer. She can dance really

35:56

well. I will go see her in concert if I

35:58

had the money and her single that she

36:01

has out, I'm.

36:02

Still in Love with You.

36:05

But I mean that song, I mean,

36:07

is it like the best of the best song. No,

36:09

but it's a decent song. She was

36:11

at the super Bowl not that many years ago.

36:13

Why doesn't she have more fans? I'm shocked.

36:17

Speaking of the super Bowl, I wanted to ask

36:19

you, guys, who do you think should perform at

36:21

the super Bowl halftime show next year?

36:23

I'm thinking Christina Avrillera.

36:26

Oh wait, I think.

36:29

I'm thinking that's the worst halftime show ever.

36:31

Yeah, most definitely not Christina

36:34

Aguilera. I said it

36:36

on our recent show. I would love it

36:38

to be Dolly Parton and Miley

36:40

Cyrus and Dolly's friends.

36:43

But you need Dolly and then Miley and then

36:45

others.

36:46

Back to j Love for a second. I to

36:48

answer your question, I just think it's bad management.

36:50

I really do. I don't think the song's that

36:52

bad either. And she isn't

36:55

in her forties as we were talking about

36:57

earlier. She actually is in her fifties and music

36:59

is a little agis and it is

37:01

hard to keep that contemporary ball

37:04

moving. But could she be on hot AC

37:06

radio with a song like that?

37:08

She could?

37:08

That song is a good song. Yeah, it's not a bad song.

37:11

No, you really kind of hit on it.

37:13

I don't know if it was last week or if it was on the Patreon

37:15

show with just the ick

37:18

around her. Right now, she's got

37:20

the bad vibes, the negative juju.

37:23

She just doesn't have the IT thing

37:25

around her. And it's bad management. And

37:27

I hate to harp on that, but that's what it

37:30

is. They keep putting bad

37:32

things out. When you do that, it

37:35

dilutes your star power. She's

37:37

a superstar. She's fucking Jennifer

37:39

Lopez. We're talking about her like she's

37:41

fucking Danielle Bergozi on this show

37:43

or something. I mean, seriously, that's

37:46

bad management. That's what those people are supposed

37:48

to do.

37:49

I love her Hello, waiting for Tonight.

37:51

I fucking love her music.

37:52

Those songs were great. Yeah, And I

37:54

mean she's a Vegas act. She can play Vegas.

37:57

I mean that's that is something. But it

37:59

really just comes down to bad decision

38:02

after bad decision. It's the overexposure

38:05

thing. It's pushing yourself in front

38:07

of people constantly, the old adage

38:10

let me miss you. I say it all the

38:12

time, let me miss you.

38:14

However, we do need growth

38:16

and reinvention, like with Adele.

38:19

I like the last Adele album, but it felt

38:21

like the same. I want the

38:23

next thing that Adele does to really just

38:26

feel different or growth or just evol

38:29

like I don't care. If you keep hearing the same

38:31

thing over and over again, it's just like,

38:33

okay, boring.

38:35

Well, if it's good, though, I don't mind. You

38:37

give me Hello over and over. I'll be happy

38:39

with that. There just wasn't that on the last

38:41

album that I heard.

38:43

Hi there, my name is Marilyn. I'm

38:45

from Las Vegas, Nevada.

38:47

Now I've been here twenty.

38:48

Years, so I'm a true local.

38:50

This is my real hometown.

38:52

Wait, if you've been there for twenty years, you're

38:54

local. But I wouldn't say it's your hometown. Your

38:56

hometown's where you're from.

38:57

Shut ups here and

39:00

they're calling this down their hometown's

39:03

busting your boss. Okay, So yeah,

39:06

yeah, you guys were talking about pickup prices

39:08

for Gio floor level five

39:10

hundred dollars, and you guys were sur price, and

39:13

you guys were saying that beyond the money. No,

39:16

actually I wish my floor

39:18

level ticket for Beyonce. We're

39:20

39:22

We're paying a lot of money

39:25

39:26

What Beyonce eight hundred

39:28

39:29

What the fuck?

39:30

Oh? Yeah?

39:31

No, aren't you always shocked?

39:33

How do you you're a normal person? You're not

39:35

a normal person.

39:36

I go to all these shows and I look around

39:38

pres and I say the same thing, because I go for

39:41

free. Yeah, betch it about the uber? How much

39:43

that cost to get me there? I'm looking around,

39:45

I'm like, where the fuck are all these people getting

39:47

this money?

39:48

Yeah?

39:48

They all can't work for a radio station. I

39:51
