1 00:00:08,234 --> 00:00:25,874 Speaker 1: You're listening to Amma Mia podcast. Good Mornings Fillers. 2 00:00:25,994 --> 00:00:28,794 Speaker 2: My name is Menitiaus Warren, filling in for the wonderful 3 00:00:28,874 --> 00:00:30,834 Speaker 2: Ash London this morning, and. 4 00:00:30,714 --> 00:00:33,193 Speaker 1: Today I've got something a little bit different for you. 5 00:00:33,674 --> 00:00:36,394 Speaker 2: So I am a late nineties baby, in nineteen ninety 6 00:00:36,394 --> 00:00:39,153 Speaker 2: seven to be specific, and one thing that has always 7 00:00:39,193 --> 00:00:42,153 Speaker 2: really really fascinated me is the absolute chaos of the 8 00:00:42,233 --> 00:00:45,873 Speaker 2: nineties entertainment news cycle. We've got runaway weddings, we've got 9 00:00:45,913 --> 00:00:49,633 Speaker 2: awkward arrests, we've got scandalous sex tapes, iconic fashion moments, 10 00:00:49,873 --> 00:00:52,353 Speaker 2: and honestly, the tabloids feel a little bit more like 11 00:00:52,394 --> 00:00:55,194 Speaker 2: a soap opera. So obviously I was far too young 12 00:00:55,273 --> 00:00:57,673 Speaker 2: to appreciate it at the time, but the stories that 13 00:00:57,754 --> 00:01:00,194 Speaker 2: came out of that decade genuinely make me wish i'd 14 00:01:00,234 --> 00:01:02,994 Speaker 2: been there to experience them in real time. So, whether 15 00:01:03,034 --> 00:01:05,154 Speaker 2: you lived through these headlines and you're ready for a 16 00:01:05,154 --> 00:01:07,274 Speaker 2: little bit of a trip down memory lane, or you 17 00:01:07,314 --> 00:01:10,114 Speaker 2: came along later and somehow missed them, I'm giving you 18 00:01:10,194 --> 00:01:12,874 Speaker 2: a roundup of some of the biggest celeb news stories that. 19 00:01:12,954 --> 00:01:17,314 Speaker 1: Absolutely dominated the nineties. So here we go. Let's kick 20 00:01:17,354 --> 00:01:19,434 Speaker 1: things off with Julia Roberts's real life. 21 00:01:19,394 --> 00:01:22,874 Speaker 2: Runaway Bride moment in nineteen ninety one, so years before 22 00:01:22,994 --> 00:01:25,314 Speaker 2: she went on to start in the film Runaway Bride. 23 00:01:25,554 --> 00:01:28,394 Speaker 2: She was twenty three at the time, engaged to Keifer 24 00:01:28,434 --> 00:01:31,634 Speaker 2: Sutherlin and they had planned this really lavish Hollywood wedding, 25 00:01:31,874 --> 00:01:34,994 Speaker 2: but allegedly Julia called the whole thing's off around seventy 26 00:01:34,994 --> 00:01:37,474 Speaker 2: two hours before the festivities were set to kick in. 27 00:01:38,234 --> 00:01:39,634 Speaker 1: Reports say that Keifer. 28 00:01:39,394 --> 00:01:42,114 Speaker 2: Sutherlin only found out about the whole thing through mutual 29 00:01:42,194 --> 00:01:45,754 Speaker 2: friends and tabloids. Stories were swirling around him having had 30 00:01:45,794 --> 00:01:48,994 Speaker 2: an alleged fling with a stripper, leading to trust issues, 31 00:01:48,994 --> 00:01:51,754 Speaker 2: which led to the wedding being called off. So Julia 32 00:01:51,794 --> 00:01:54,594 Speaker 2: actually spent what would have been her wedding day with 33 00:01:54,674 --> 00:01:58,994 Speaker 2: her former fiance's close friend Jason Patrick. They apparently flew 34 00:01:58,994 --> 00:02:00,714 Speaker 2: off together and traveled to Ireland. 35 00:02:00,794 --> 00:02:03,074 Speaker 1: I mean that woman was clearly born. 36 00:02:02,914 --> 00:02:05,514 Speaker 2: To live out rom Com plot lines, because that is 37 00:02:05,594 --> 00:02:09,114 Speaker 2: peak Romcom coded Now. We also can't talk about the 38 00:02:09,154 --> 00:02:12,234 Speaker 2: nineties without bringing up Hugh Grant's very public fall from 39 00:02:12,353 --> 00:02:14,994 Speaker 2: Romcom grace because he was at the peak of his 40 00:02:15,114 --> 00:02:17,954 Speaker 2: charming era thanks to four weddings in a funeral and 41 00:02:18,074 --> 00:02:20,874 Speaker 2: Sense and Sensibility, which came out in nineteen ninety five, 42 00:02:21,234 --> 00:02:23,674 Speaker 2: But that same years when it all came crashing down 43 00:02:23,714 --> 00:02:27,434 Speaker 2: because he was arrested in LA after infamously being caught 44 00:02:27,514 --> 00:02:30,554 Speaker 2: with sex worker Divine Brown in his carp That was 45 00:02:30,594 --> 00:02:34,194 Speaker 2: the story splashed across front pages worldwide, and it kicked 46 00:02:34,234 --> 00:02:37,434 Speaker 2: off Hugh doing a now infamous apology tour, including a 47 00:02:37,474 --> 00:02:40,794 Speaker 2: painfully candid interview on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno 48 00:02:41,034 --> 00:02:43,034 Speaker 2: where he said, you know, in life, what's a good 49 00:02:43,034 --> 00:02:44,514 Speaker 2: thing to do and a bad thing to do. 50 00:02:44,874 --> 00:02:45,754 Speaker 1: I did a bad thing. 51 00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:49,354 Speaker 2: Then, of course we have Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee 52 00:02:49,514 --> 00:02:52,394 Speaker 2: kicking off the celebrity sex tape era. They were the 53 00:02:52,434 --> 00:02:55,114 Speaker 2: newlywed it couple of the decade, fresh from their whl 54 00:02:55,154 --> 00:02:59,474 Speaker 2: winned Vegas wedding, and a disgruntled contractor allegedly stole a 55 00:02:59,554 --> 00:03:02,834 Speaker 2: safe from their home that included a private honeymoon sex 56 00:03:02,874 --> 00:03:05,194 Speaker 2: tape that they say they had filmed just for themselves, 57 00:03:05,434 --> 00:03:08,554 Speaker 2: and it was quickly circulated on adult websites and even 58 00:03:08,634 --> 00:03:12,154 Speaker 2: mail order vhs. Many people really see that as the 59 00:03:12,194 --> 00:03:14,754 Speaker 2: moment that set the template for every leaked sex tape 60 00:03:14,794 --> 00:03:16,634 Speaker 2: story that followed in the two thousands. 61 00:03:17,674 --> 00:03:18,834 Speaker 1: Now, from as early as. 62 00:03:18,754 --> 00:03:21,954 Speaker 2: I remember going on YouTube, I recall watching videos about 63 00:03:21,954 --> 00:03:25,594 Speaker 2: this next one. In nineteen ninety seven, Ellen DeGeneres made 64 00:03:25,634 --> 00:03:29,154 Speaker 2: TV history with her sitcom Ellen, when her character Ellen 65 00:03:29,194 --> 00:03:30,513 Speaker 2: Morgan came out as gay. 66 00:03:31,114 --> 00:03:32,834 Speaker 1: The episode featured Oprah. 67 00:03:32,634 --> 00:03:36,234 Speaker 2: Winfrey as a therapist and Laura Dern as her love interest. 68 00:03:36,034 --> 00:03:39,594 Speaker 1: And it pulled in a whopping forty two million viewers. 69 00:03:39,834 --> 00:03:43,514 Speaker 2: Ellen herself came out publicly on Time magazine's cover with 70 00:03:43,594 --> 00:03:46,354 Speaker 2: a statement that read, yep, I'm gay just before the 71 00:03:46,394 --> 00:03:49,274 Speaker 2: episode's air date, and the whole thing became nothing short 72 00:03:49,274 --> 00:03:53,394 Speaker 2: of a cultural earthquake. Now stick around, spillers, because coming 73 00:03:53,474 --> 00:03:55,754 Speaker 2: up next, we've got the girl group Exit that rocked 74 00:03:55,754 --> 00:03:59,114 Speaker 2: the world, a Hollywood couple so perfectly matched it became 75 00:03:59,154 --> 00:04:02,314 Speaker 2: a meme before memes really existed, and one actor who 76 00:04:02,354 --> 00:04:05,034 Speaker 2: made the entire Internet fall in love with him, all 77 00:04:05,114 --> 00:04:09,434 Speaker 2: before the Internet was really a thing like it is today. Okay, now, 78 00:04:09,514 --> 00:04:11,994 Speaker 2: let's get back into things with an iconic fashion moment. 79 00:04:12,314 --> 00:04:14,874 Speaker 1: So in nineteen ninety four, Princess Diana. 80 00:04:14,554 --> 00:04:17,553 Speaker 2: Wore a gorgeous black, off the shoulder silk gown by 81 00:04:17,634 --> 00:04:21,313 Speaker 2: Christina Stampolian, which has since been dubbed the Revenge Dress. 82 00:04:21,514 --> 00:04:24,154 Speaker 2: You've probably already seen photos of it, but if you haven't, 83 00:04:24,393 --> 00:04:26,553 Speaker 2: go look it up online, because I was looking at 84 00:04:26,553 --> 00:04:28,993 Speaker 2: photos just now and oh my god, she looks amazing. 85 00:04:29,393 --> 00:04:34,074 Speaker 2: The timing was incredibly iconic because that same night, Prince Charles' 86 00:04:34,154 --> 00:04:37,234 Speaker 2: TV interview went to air admitting his infidelity with Camilla 87 00:04:37,274 --> 00:04:40,633 Speaker 2: Parker Bowles, his now wife, and yet Diana's look stoll 88 00:04:40,753 --> 00:04:44,274 Speaker 2: every single headline. We also can't talk about the nineties 89 00:04:44,274 --> 00:04:46,754 Speaker 2: without the shocking girl group departure. 90 00:04:46,274 --> 00:04:47,953 Speaker 1: That rocked fans around the world. 91 00:04:48,073 --> 00:04:51,874 Speaker 2: When Jerry Halliwell aka Ginger Spice shocked the world by 92 00:04:51,914 --> 00:04:54,073 Speaker 2: quitting The Spice Girls at the peak of their fame, 93 00:04:54,274 --> 00:04:57,594 Speaker 2: right before their North American tour kicked off, her solicitor 94 00:04:57,633 --> 00:05:00,633 Speaker 2: dropped the bombshell statement which read sadly, I would like 95 00:05:00,674 --> 00:05:04,274 Speaker 2: to confirm that I've left the Spice Girls because of differences. 96 00:05:03,753 --> 00:05:06,553 Speaker 1: Between us, adding a cheeky ps, I'll be back. 97 00:05:06,834 --> 00:05:10,473 Speaker 2: But she we later cited exhaustion, depression, feeling redundant, and 98 00:05:10,553 --> 00:05:14,033 Speaker 2: clashes as the reasons behind her decision to quit. I 99 00:05:14,113 --> 00:05:16,073 Speaker 2: have to imagine that for fans around the world it 100 00:05:16,073 --> 00:05:17,754 Speaker 2: felt a little bit like it did for me when 101 00:05:17,794 --> 00:05:21,434 Speaker 2: Jessie Nelson left Little Mix. Now we're almost at the end, 102 00:05:21,674 --> 00:05:24,233 Speaker 2: but we simply have to talk about the golden couple 103 00:05:24,234 --> 00:05:27,234 Speaker 2: of the mid nineties, Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. They 104 00:05:27,274 --> 00:05:30,193 Speaker 2: were gorgeous, they were young and seemingly perfect, but it 105 00:05:30,234 --> 00:05:32,713 Speaker 2: was more than just their relationship that everyone talked about 106 00:05:32,753 --> 00:05:35,393 Speaker 2: because for a stretch of time they both debuted the 107 00:05:35,433 --> 00:05:39,553 Speaker 2: same iconic icy blonde haircut, becoming the ultimate matching couple. 108 00:05:39,873 --> 00:05:41,993 Speaker 2: I mean, seriously, if you haven't taken the look at 109 00:05:42,034 --> 00:05:44,954 Speaker 2: it recently, look online, because it's one of those pairings 110 00:05:44,953 --> 00:05:49,474 Speaker 2: that kind of makes you think siblings or dating. And lastly, 111 00:05:49,553 --> 00:05:52,273 Speaker 2: I would very much say nowadays we're presently living in 112 00:05:52,274 --> 00:05:55,194 Speaker 2: the era of the Internet boyfriend. We've got our Jacobalordi, 113 00:05:55,354 --> 00:05:58,674 Speaker 2: Conna Story, Bad Bunny. Of course they're all dominating our hearts. 114 00:05:58,993 --> 00:06:01,113 Speaker 2: But to end off, I thought we needed a little 115 00:06:01,154 --> 00:06:04,354 Speaker 2: nod to Leonardo DiCaprio for pretty much becoming the first 116 00:06:04,393 --> 00:06:08,553 Speaker 2: true nineties Internet boyfriend. After the sixth Titanic in nineteen 117 00:06:08,633 --> 00:06:11,633 Speaker 2: ninety seven, in the era of dial up, internet fans 118 00:06:11,633 --> 00:06:15,513 Speaker 2: built the earliest Leo shrines on sites like leocentral dot com, 119 00:06:15,553 --> 00:06:18,394 Speaker 2: and he really was the perfect fodder for teenage fangirls, 120 00:06:18,393 --> 00:06:21,514 Speaker 2: spawning many a zine and inspiring a wave of screen 121 00:06:21,594 --> 00:06:25,273 Speaker 2: names that were variations of Missus DiCaprio. In fact, fans 122 00:06:25,313 --> 00:06:28,394 Speaker 2: even crashed early servers with fan art, so he really 123 00:06:28,433 --> 00:06:32,474 Speaker 2: became the blueprint for every viral heartthrob.
