Speaker 1: From Los Angeles and one and only famous Perez Hilton.
Speaker 2: By Hello everybody, and welcome to the Perez Hilton Podcast.
Speaker 2: Chris Booker, that's Perez. How are you sir?
Speaker 3: Well, we're definitely going to be talking Princess Catherine and
Speaker 3: also Harry and Meghan are involved in this, plus some
Speaker 3: Michael Jackson family drama, that family vlogger Ruby Frankie and
Speaker 3: drama There drama with Pete Davidson drama drama drama. Uh,
Speaker 3: but first, how are you? How you been all good?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 2: I don't think I have anything to report. It's spring break.
Speaker 2: I kind of dawdled around my house all weekend.
Speaker 4: What about you?
Speaker 3: Well, it was my birthday. I had a busy day.
Speaker 3: I spoke at a conference, which was really cool, especially
Speaker 3: because I was invited by this group group of black women.
Speaker 3: So for them to see value in me speaking at
Speaker 3: their empowerment and networking event really was special to me.
Speaker 3: So it was a wonderful way to kick off the day.
Speaker 3: And they had a little cake for me, and then
Speaker 3: I had a small kind of like cocktail two hours situation.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to do a dinner. I wanted something
Speaker 3: small where people can just go and talk to each
Speaker 3: other and I can talk to everybody, and it was great.
Speaker 3: And then I did nothing yesterday. I mean, I was
Speaker 3: not contagious by Saturday, but I was really sick for
Speaker 3: an entire week and a half.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say it was at least
Speaker 2: coming up on a couple of weeks. For Yeah, you
Speaker 2: were worse on the last show that we did than
Speaker 2: you were the week probe.
Speaker 3: I know that was wild, Like how am I sicker
Speaker 3: the second week? And it makes sense. Today is the
Speaker 3: first day I woke up and I'm like, well, not
Speaker 3: one hundred percent, but I feel like I'm in the
Speaker 3: ninety percentile, So I'll take it and excited to talk
Speaker 3: about everything. So let's just get to it.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 3: A lot of people, including celebrities, have been apologizing to
Speaker 3: Princess Catherine for their hot takes, which were a bunch
Speaker 3: of hot air. However, this is why you tune into
Speaker 3: our show, because even though Booker would like to think
Speaker 3: he's right all the time, I'm right most of the time.
Speaker 3: From the very first moment we spoke about everything related
Speaker 3: to Princess Catherine back in January, I said what I said,
Speaker 3: and I just kept repeating it, and I was super
Speaker 3: consistent it must be something very serious, otherwise they would
Speaker 3: not keep her in there for so long. Remember she
Speaker 3: was in the hospital for over two weeks. I also
Speaker 3: said her private information is her private information and she
Speaker 3: doesn't need to share that with everybody, and that upset
Speaker 3: a lot of people for whatever reasons, like, oh, we're
Speaker 3: funding them. I don't care if you're funding them and
Speaker 3: you're not. I mean, doesn't the crown through tourism support itself.
Speaker 3: Are the British public really funding the British royal family.
Speaker 2: To an extent, But they have so much property and
Speaker 2: land that they could pay for their own at this point,
Speaker 2: but it is on the backs of the British people.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I still don't think you're entitled to their
Speaker 3: private I agree.
Speaker 2: With the other information should that the entire time. I
Speaker 2: think the first thing I said was a lot.
Speaker 5: Of people are going to have egg on.
Speaker 2: Their face because this is probably serious, and we didn't
Speaker 2: want to guess, you know, we did speculate that it's
Speaker 2: probably serious, and like everyone should just chill out a
Speaker 2: little bit and leave the lady alone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously, you know, I'm just assuming that everybody listening
Speaker 3: knows what the announcement was. But if for some reason,
Speaker 3: you've been on vacation or whatever. On frind of spring break, Yeah,
Speaker 3: on Friday, Princess Catherine released a videotaped statement revealing that
Speaker 3: she has been diagnosed with cancer. Although I don't even
Speaker 3: know if I want to phrase it that way, let
Speaker 3: me phrase it exactly how she presented it. She reiterated
Speaker 3: what she had previously said, that she had a plans
Speaker 3: abdominal surgery in January, and then after the surgery, it
Speaker 3: was determined that there was cancer found. The way she
Speaker 3: framed it, though it could I could interpret it as
Speaker 3: there was a mass and the mass was removed, and
Speaker 3: then that mass was determined to be cancerous. But she
Speaker 3: could be without any tumors or cancer or whatever in
Speaker 3: her body at the moment. And then she also said
Speaker 3: something that a lot of medical experts have weighed in on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about that.
Speaker 2: That's like a round the clock coverage on CNN with
Speaker 2: all these different doctus. Look, guy, she probably had a
Speaker 2: sister something removed and then they checked it out and
Speaker 2: they were like, oh shit, there's cancer cells in it.
Speaker 2: Let's get rid of all of it. Let's give her
Speaker 2: around the chemo and call.
Speaker 5: It a day.
Speaker 3: The term that she used that triggered a lot of
Speaker 3: doctors and medical professionals was preventative chemo, which makes sense
Speaker 3: to me. If they got rid of all of the
Speaker 3: tumors or whatever anomala was inside of her, probably whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I said whatever is inside of her.
Speaker 3: If they got rid of that, then they're just wanting
Speaker 3: to be extra aggressive.
Speaker 5: Yeah, why not?
Speaker 3: All right? I know the next development in this Princess
Speaker 3: Catherine situation. I'm going to tell you where the media
Speaker 3: is gonna go next week or by the end of
Speaker 3: this week. Basically, what happened the first time around is
Speaker 3: gonna happen again because Princess Catherine did not reveal the
Speaker 3: kind of cancer that she's dealing with, and the media
Speaker 3: and the public are nosy fuckers and they are going
Speaker 3: to want to know what kind of cancer she has,
Speaker 3: even though that's not their information, even though she doesn't
Speaker 3: need to share that with people. And I think for
Speaker 3: me personally, though, I don't really care. Dot dot dot
Speaker 3: with one asterisk, I'm just like praying it's not like
Speaker 3: the worst case scenario if she has pancreatic cancer.
Speaker 2: You sound like CNN. Now you sound like one of
Speaker 2: these doctors who cares if we don't know.
Speaker 3: Well, I know, but I think people are going to
Speaker 3: find it interesting that I'm literally telling you this is
Speaker 3: what's going to start happening. People are gonna really stories
Speaker 3: are going to come out claiming that she's got this
Speaker 3: one or that one or the other, and people are
Speaker 3: going to want to know, and the conspiracy theories are
Speaker 3: going to start again because people don't know because she
Speaker 3: didn't reveal it.
Speaker 4: So who cares about that?
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, why do you think
Speaker 2: she didn't just go ahead and say it?
Speaker 3: Great question. It worries me that it's extremely serious, that
Speaker 3: it could be pancreatic cancer or it could be stage four.
Speaker 3: Otherwise she would have done this is just speculation. Otherwise
Speaker 3: she would have just done what King Charles did. He's
Speaker 3: undergoing prostate cancer, but he told everybody, I have prostate
Speaker 3: cancer and I'm dealing with this. But prostate cancer is
Speaker 3: highly treatable and the prognosis is extremely good for most people.
Speaker 3: So because of your question, is why I predict exactly
Speaker 3: what's going to keep happening over the next weeks or months.
Speaker 3: A Patriot On supporter Diego Ramos has a question specifically
Speaker 3: related to the video announcement. He asks, why was Princess
Speaker 3: Kate sitting alone? Shouldn't Prince William have sat supporting her?
Speaker 3: Great question. Clearly it was a calculated decision for optics.
Speaker 3: This was all about her, and they don't want her
Speaker 3: seeming to have support in that moment. They want her
Speaker 3: to come across as alone and vulnerable and wanting everybody
Speaker 3: to shut the fuck up.
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
Speaker 3: So it was definitely a calculated move, like this is
Speaker 3: her that focuses on her. She's unwell. She's finally telling
Speaker 3: everyone because you wouldn't shut up about it.
Speaker 2: Here's a sick woman. Everybody stop being assholes. She's being vulnerable.
Speaker 2: She's telling you more than she probably should have already.
Speaker 2: Everybody simmered down and let her go fucking heal up
Speaker 2: from whatever she had.
Speaker 3: Now, everybody has been wishing her well, including Prince Harry
Speaker 3: and Megan Markle dot dot dot. But Prince Harry and
Speaker 3: Megan Markle's very brief statement was a failure. I wouldn't
Speaker 3: even call it shady. I would just call it disrespectful, really,
Speaker 3: especially in a time of illness. This is all they wrote.
Speaker 3: It was one sentence and it said, quote, we wish
Speaker 3: health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope
Speaker 3: they are able to do so privately and in peace.
Speaker 3: First of all, I understand they're not working senior royals anymore. However,
Speaker 3: Harry and Meghan are still part of the royal family,
Speaker 3: and when releasing public statements like that, the royal family
Speaker 3: never addresses each other like that. They should have used
Speaker 3: her title, but they did it. Fine, Why should they
Speaker 3: use her title?
Speaker 5: Who cares?
Speaker 3: That's the protocol?
Speaker 4: Who cares about protocol?
Speaker 2: They stepped away from the protocol. They're not doing the protocol.
Speaker 2: That is just someone in their family call her by
Speaker 2: her name, and I find that to be much more warm,
Speaker 2: fine than Princess Catherine or whatever some made up bullshit
Speaker 2: that this whole fucking fairy tale thing is.
Speaker 4: In the first place, you're.
Speaker 2: Just digging, you're digging.
Speaker 3: No, here's the second thing. She does not want to
Speaker 3: be known as Kate. She is Katherine. William refers to
Speaker 3: her as Katherine. They called her Kate. I only view
Speaker 3: that as a dig as petty.
Speaker 2: Come on, It's like you've called someone something your whole life.
Speaker 2: That's what you guys call one another.
Speaker 3: This is a public statement. She has told us. He
Speaker 3: has told us she is Katherine.
Speaker 2: I see it a different way. I think you're seeing
Speaker 2: it as professional. I think they're seeing it as personal.
Speaker 2: That's what they call one another. No one calls Robert
Speaker 2: de Niro Robert. They call him Bob. No one called
Speaker 2: James Gandolfini James. They called him Jim. People call people
Speaker 2: what they're called, Okay, Like if you went called somebody
Speaker 2: some other name that you didn't refer to them as
Speaker 2: at the dinner table, that to me seems cold in shade.
Speaker 3: It's a public statement. It's not for Catherine.
Speaker 5: No not buying it.
Speaker 2: They're no longer royals. You're trying to cause a story.
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm not. It is shady.
Speaker 2: Let's follow that down the rabbit hole. It's shady for
Speaker 2: what reason?
Speaker 3: Here's the perfect example.
Speaker 4: I don't need an example. I'm asking you a question,
Speaker 4: what reason? For what reason? Is it shady?
Speaker 3: I already told you it's that's not how she's addressed
Speaker 3: and that's not how her the name that she wants
Speaker 3: for the public.
Speaker 4: How she's addressed at the fucking dinner table.
Speaker 3: This is a public statement. It's not a private text
Speaker 3: mess all of a sudden.
Speaker 4: Get all cold. Because it's a public statement.
Speaker 3: They're not part of it. It's not an email or
Speaker 3: a text that she sent to Willie that they sent
Speaker 3: to William. Oh, we hope Kate's well. No, this is
Speaker 3: for the media. It's for the masses. Here's another example, like,
Speaker 3: if I die today and my family releases a statement,
Speaker 3: they should say Perez Hilton died.
Speaker 4: Why would they do that.
Speaker 2: I call you Perez because that's how we know one another. Okay,
Speaker 2: but your family knows you as Mario, so that's weird.
Speaker 3: It's not weird to me. It's for the public, it's
Speaker 3: not it's not for the it's not for for them.
Speaker 2: Everybody calls me Booker. No one calls me by my
Speaker 2: first name. And if somebody put a statement out one
Speaker 2: of my friends and they called me Chris said it,
Speaker 2: I would think that's weird, period, because everybody calls me Booker.
Speaker 3: Professionally. Everybody calls you that too.
Speaker 4: It's not professional though.
Speaker 3: Anyways, whatever statement to me, I'm not I think a
Speaker 3: lot of people agree with me. Call and let us
Speaker 3: know what you think. Eight hundred seventy two one one
Speaker 3: one eight five all right. In more family related drama news,
Speaker 3: Michael Jackson's youngest son, the person formerly known as Blanket,
Speaker 3: now going by Biggie or big. I don't I don't
Speaker 3: know how he pronounced it, to be honest, it's b
Speaker 3: I g I. How would you pronounce that biggie BIGI biggie?
Speaker 4: You could be one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2: I just thought he went by his initials.
Speaker 3: Every report that I've seen has written his name be Igi.
Speaker 4: Fine. I just thought back of the day it was
Speaker 4: b Ja.
Speaker 3: Oh, No, it was Blanket back in the day. I
Speaker 3: believe that was his actual legal nickname.
Speaker 5: Yeah, his name's.
Speaker 3: Blanket, right, but I think he changed it.
Speaker 4: I would too.
Speaker 3: Anyways, He's twenty two years old now, and he is
Speaker 3: fighting his ninety three year old grandmother, the mother of
Speaker 3: his father, in court. And it's a little difficult to
Speaker 3: have a full picture understanding and even opinion. But I
Speaker 3: do have an opinion because some of this is shrouded
Speaker 3: in secrecy. The estate of Michael Jackson is not run
Speaker 3: by his children. Actually, these executors run the estate like
Speaker 3: it's a business, yeah exactly, which is weird unless it's
Speaker 3: how his kids want it.
Speaker 2: Or maybe that's how he set it up before he died.
Speaker 2: I don't think he was like a print situation where
Speaker 2: he didn't have anything written down on to what was
Speaker 2: supposed to happen.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, he definitely did, so there's speculation of what
Speaker 3: this issue might have been. Recently, the estate of Michael
Speaker 3: Jackson sold half of Michael's music catalog to Sony Music
Speaker 3: for six hundred million dollars, and initially Big BIGI, Biggie
Speaker 3: whatever and Katherine opposed the deal and worked together to
Speaker 3: try to stop it in court. However, for some reason,
Speaker 3: the court ruled against them, so there's been a lot
Speaker 3: of drama behind the scenes. After the court ruled against them,
Speaker 3: Catherine is trying to just appeal this and move it forward,
Speaker 3: and Big now wants her to use her own money
Speaker 3: instead of the estates money to appeal this, which that
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense to me. She's only looking out for
Speaker 3: your best interests. Allegedly, he doesn't think that Grandma's a
Speaker 3: windy appeal, so he doesn't want Grandma using the estate's money.
Speaker 3: But here's what's so confusing, to me. Allegedly, Michael Jackson's
Speaker 3: estate is worth two billion dollars. Wow, So if grandma
Speaker 3: blows through even ten million, that's nothing right and she's
Speaker 3: only doing that to help you. I don't know. Plus,
Speaker 3: also it's your grandmother. Would Michael want you to be
Speaker 3: fighting with his mom in court? I don't think so.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's I think there's a lot of details that a
Speaker 2: lot of people will never know.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 2: Maybe the old lady's lost it and she's not running
Speaker 2: things correctly. I mean, the Elvis Presley situation was a
Speaker 2: lot of this too, where well whats or nuts wouldn't
Speaker 2: like Lisa Marie wouldn't let go.
Speaker 5: Of this stuff.
Speaker 2: No, Priscilla, Yeah, wouldn't let go of a lot of
Speaker 2: this power. You know, people get very protective of these corporations,
Speaker 2: I guess, or how the money is diced up, or
Speaker 2: where they wanted to go or where they feel it
Speaker 2: should go. It's hard when you get a ton of
Speaker 2: money and you didn't make it. Everybody gets real possessive
Speaker 2: about that money that you didn't make, and it's tough.
Speaker 4: It's really hard.
Speaker 2: I mean, watching the Prince family go through it and
Speaker 2: them burn through his vault and all this other stuff
Speaker 2: is probably not what Prince would have wanted, but they
Speaker 2: did it anyhow.
Speaker 3: It's also related to money because the executors make a
Speaker 3: ton of They make a ton of money themselves.
Speaker 2: It's like they're on the tip forever. They want as
Speaker 2: much money as they can draw interest off of forever.
Speaker 3: It's sad. Money is the root of so much evil.
Speaker 3: It also makes life easier. I think it's not always Rosie.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna win that billion dollar lottery tonight.
Speaker 3: I hope you do. In more family related news, this
Speaker 3: got me so heated. Oh, the county in Utah where
Speaker 3: that family vlogger Ruby Frankie lived, released all sorts of
Speaker 3: evidence related to her ultimate guilty verdict. You know, she
Speaker 3: was found guilty of severe child's abuse and neglect. And
Speaker 3: they released diary entries, audio phone calls from prison, and
Speaker 3: video and photos that were redacted of her children. They
Speaker 3: blurred the faces out, and that infuriated me. Why released
Speaker 3: photos and videos of her young children whom now we
Speaker 3: know their identity and those videos and photos are going
Speaker 3: to be haunting those poor kids out in the internet forever.
Speaker 3: What good does that serve the public interest? Even redacted
Speaker 3: where you don't see their faces, but we fucking know
Speaker 3: who it is, how does that serve society?
Speaker 5: I'm not into any of this. I mean, I'm waiting
Speaker 5: for the next story. I couldn't care.
Speaker 3: You know, people are riveted by a lot of true
Speaker 3: crime stuff. So I did watch that. I mean I
Speaker 3: actually watched all the footage and it sucks. But yeah,
Speaker 3: the one of her being interrogated was weird because she
Speaker 3: clearly was coached by her lawyer to not answer any questions,
Speaker 3: but she looked demonic, like possessed by the devil, like
Speaker 3: in a trance, like not even just ignoring all questions. Whatever,
Speaker 3: let's move on and more family related news. Tristan Thompson
Speaker 3: is a deadbeat dad. Oh yeah, for not his children
Speaker 3: with Chloe Kardashian, of course, but one of his other children,
Speaker 3: the one that he didn't want to have, the one
Speaker 3: that he told the mom to abort, the child, the
Speaker 3: one that he's not involved in, the kids upbringing, his son, THEO.
Speaker 3: He just stopped paying child support for September, October, November, December,
Speaker 3: and January, so he was taken to court and now
Speaker 3: he's been ordered to pay all of that child support
Speaker 3: that he just stopped paying. How does that just happen?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Are you broke? Do you not have money? Tristan? Like,
Speaker 3: what's going on?
Speaker 2: Isn't it weird to know that you got a kid
Speaker 2: out in the world and you know this kid's gonna
Speaker 2: know that you didn't.
Speaker 5: Even want to support it.
Speaker 2: That's that's weird. Especially listen, if you didn't have any money.
Speaker 2: It's one thing, he's a fucking NBA player. He's got
Speaker 2: tons of luke tons.
Speaker 3: And it's not like an exorbitant amount of money, right.
Speaker 2: It's a drop in the bucket to what you're making.
Speaker 2: You get these other people that don't have a pot
Speaker 2: to pisson or a window to throw it out, and
Speaker 2: you're like, Okay, I got a little bit of like compassion.
Speaker 4: But this guy's got millions.
Speaker 3: For all of those months that he missed, he has
Speaker 3: to just pay fifty seven thousand dollars. So if you
Speaker 3: break it down by month, it's not that much. You
Speaker 3: just couldn't pay it, Like, what the hell? In more
Speaker 3: Kardashian adjacent news from Chloe Kardashian's baby daddy to Kim
Speaker 3: Kardashian's baby daddy, Kanye West, because of his awfulness. A
Speaker 3: lot of people want nothing to do with Kanye. You know,
Speaker 3: he was dropped by his label, lost his gap deal,
Speaker 3: and as he mentioned, venues don't want to book him.
Speaker 3: So Kanye is looking to circumvent venues by buying his
Speaker 3: own venue, meaning he is scouting potential sites overseas in France, Italy, Spain,
Speaker 3: Portugal and Morocco. And I don't think he's going to
Speaker 3: build an arena, but he wants to just buy a
Speaker 3: large piece of land and do a festival type concert there,
Speaker 3: I guess whenever he wants to perform.
Speaker 2: This feels like the Firefest to me already, That's what
Speaker 2: I was about to say.
Speaker 3: Smart of him, but dumb for anybody that decides to
Speaker 3: buy tickets because Kanye is erratic, like he might say
Speaker 3: he's going to put on a show and then he
Speaker 3: might cancel like the last minute, and then you wasted
Speaker 3: all that money buying tickets and airfare to go to France, Italy, Spain,
Speaker 3: Portugal or Morocco.
Speaker 2: I think this is all bullshit. I think this is
Speaker 2: just his idea. I don't see it happening.
Speaker 5: I wonder what the worldwide demand.
Speaker 3: He still has a lot of fans.
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, no question about that. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: still debuts number one here in this country, but I'm
Speaker 2: talking about other countries. Like if any of his statements,
Speaker 2: like if you're over in whatever, Spain wherever, that you
Speaker 2: don't even speak English, you just like the music. Do
Speaker 2: you even care or know of his antics as anti
Speaker 2: Semitic this or his charged up that, Like, do you
Speaker 2: know or cares?
Speaker 5: My question? My guess is probably no.
Speaker 3: And as is the case most of the time, American
Speaker 3: celebrities often are even bigger overseas than in America because
Speaker 3: they don't get them that often. In some of these
Speaker 3: other countries.
Speaker 2: There's some good footage going around of I want to
Speaker 2: say it's Lollapalooza, but it's like Limp Biscuit and Blink
Speaker 2: one eighty two. I think they're the same show, but
Speaker 2: I'm not entirely certain. But watching these seas and throngs
Speaker 2: of people, I just sit there and think, God, people
Speaker 2: in this country suck at concerts because they're so bored
Speaker 2: and they're sitting there looking at their phones. These people
Speaker 2: are like it's like they've lived in the desert for
Speaker 2: one hundred years and they were just given water for
Speaker 2: the first time.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's a crazy, easiest footage.
Speaker 2: Tom DeLong was like crying at the end of one
Speaker 2: of the shows, like he was like he couldn't even
Speaker 2: believe it.
Speaker 4: So it's it's pretty wild stuff.
Speaker 2: And how people oversees or in different parts of the
Speaker 2: world really react to music, It's nothing like that here
Speaker 2: in America. It Isn't you think Taylor Mania is great.
Speaker 2: It's a bunch of girls screaming. This is like seas
Speaker 2: of fucking people like jumping up and down. It's the
Speaker 2: craziest footage I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: Well, actually, I just I wasn't even gonna talk about
Speaker 3: this because I don't know if our audience cares that
Speaker 3: much about her. But I saw the wildest footage related
Speaker 3: to what you just said, from Venezuela, where this Latina
Speaker 3: artist Carol g from Colombia. She had a show in
Speaker 3: Venezuela and there was so much demand. And you know,
Speaker 3: Venezuela is a little bit of a third world country
Speaker 3: because it's it's you know, an oppressive regime government there
Speaker 3: and so many people that didn't have tickets went and
Speaker 3: tried to gate crash the concert. That the whole concert
Speaker 3: erupted in chaos, like people who had tickets couldn't get
Speaker 3: inside because it was such pandemonium.
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't it crazy just to see music with
Speaker 2: your own two eyes and hear it yourself. It's it's wild,
Speaker 2: the power of music and what it could do to
Speaker 2: people who are starved for that kind of entertainment. Living
Speaker 2: in Vegas and living here in LA It's just got
Speaker 2: there's something on a Tuesday night, nothing special here.
Speaker 3: It makes me wonder, like, why doesn't that shit happen
Speaker 3: more in the United States? Like people trying to crash concerts.
Speaker 4: I think it's happened.
Speaker 3: Before, like that Astro World fiasco with Travis Scott, But
Speaker 3: why doesn't that happen?
Speaker 2: I want to say a lot of palooza happened once
Speaker 2: before as well. I don't know. I just think that
Speaker 2: there's stricter laws here, more cameras, better security of taller fences.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm glad it doesn't. And even more Kardashian adjacent news,
Speaker 3: Kim Kardashian's ex boyfriend Pete Davidson took a machete to
Speaker 3: his career. I think Pete Davidson had this sitcom on
Speaker 3: Peacock called Bupkiss, and it got picked up for a
Speaker 3: second season, and production started on the second season writing.
Speaker 3: They didn't start filming, but the pre production work of
Speaker 3: writing the show and scouting locations and all that stuff
Speaker 3: had begun, And then his agents informed Lorne Michaels and
Speaker 3: Peacock that he didn't want to do the second season. Wow,
Speaker 3: and for some reason they were cool with it.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: I guess when you're like a big enough star, like
Speaker 3: you can really do almost anything you want if you're lucky.
Speaker 3: I guess it's also a fifty to fifty gamble, because
Speaker 3: if they wanted to comcast, NBC Universal could sue him
Speaker 3: or could demand the money that they've already spent on
Speaker 3: a second season. And the worst part is he released
Speaker 3: this long ass statement saying how he's so proud of
Speaker 3: the work and blah blah, and it was autobiographical and
Speaker 3: blah blah, but he didn't give a fucking reason for it.
Speaker 3: I guess the most bullshit reason is that I do
Speaker 3: also feel that this part of my life is finished.
Speaker 3: That's it. That's why You're fucking not going with the
Speaker 3: second season of the show, and now people are unemployed,
Speaker 3: and this network spent so much money on the second
Speaker 3: season just because you changed your mind. Like to me,
Speaker 3: I would be really weary of hiring Pete Davidson in
Speaker 3: the future. He's not stable, he's not professional.
Speaker 2: I told you his stand up show. I tried to
Speaker 2: watch him. You know, I love comedians. He'd like make
Speaker 2: me laugh. It was unwatchable.
Speaker 4: It was ten minutes in.
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is the worst stand up since Amy
Speaker 2: Schumer got a Netflix by Hey, that was terrible too.
Speaker 2: I loved Damy Schumer. God did I love her. That
Speaker 2: special was garbage.
Speaker 3: Well, let's move on to reality TV news, which is garbage,
Speaker 3: but people really enjoy Christine Quinn. We spoke about her
Speaker 3: on the Patreon Show and the drama with her husband
Speaker 3: being arrested for domestic violence. Well after we recorded that,
Speaker 3: the guy was arrested again a second time, just hours
Speaker 3: after the first time. He was arrested and released. The
Speaker 3: second time, he was arrested for violating a restraining order.
Speaker 3: He was prohibited from going to the family home and
Speaker 3: he went there anyways. Dumbass. Thankfully, according to reports the
Speaker 3: selling Sunset Alum is planning to divorce him thankfully.
Speaker 2: Is that the one with Maurizio and uh.
Speaker 3: No, that's a different show that shows buying Beverly Hills.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I was watching that last night. I don't
Speaker 2: know where I am in it because Kellen was watching it.
Speaker 2: But it's like he and the girl, they've got the kids,
Speaker 2: and they live in the house, and it came out
Speaker 2: on People magazine that they're getting split up and the kids,
Speaker 2: you know, like read it on the People's site. So
Speaker 2: I'm watching it unfold and all I'm looking at is
Speaker 2: their fucking house.
Speaker 4: It's amazing. I'm like, I want this fucking house.
Speaker 2: She's walking in with her Hermaize bags or however the
Speaker 2: fuck you say that.
Speaker 4: It's pretty good.
Speaker 3: I don't even think they live in Beverly Hills anymore though.
Speaker 3: I think they moved to the valley where you can
Speaker 3: get you can still get a lot more land in
Speaker 3: the valley. I'm so glad I left La. I don't
Speaker 3: miss a single fucking thing. I don't miss a thing.
Speaker 2: I'm ready to leave. I've got nothing keeping me.
Speaker 5: Here but a job.
Speaker 3: Couldn't you do your job from anywhere, like you have
Speaker 3: to be in I mean know, you interview a lot
Speaker 3: of musicians, so I guess you have to be that's
Speaker 3: the thing.
Speaker 5: I mean, I have a lot of events and things. Yeah.
Speaker 3: In more reality TV and real estate related news, vander
Speaker 3: Pump Rules star Ariana Maddox is finally extricating herself from
Speaker 3: x Tom Sandoval. She just bought a one point six
Speaker 3: million dollar home in the Hollywood Hills.
Speaker 2: All the money that she has, I thought she'd get
Speaker 2: like a much nicer house. It's just a you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's it's like.
Speaker 3: Okay, play well good, be smart with your spending, don't overspend.
Speaker 2: I guess I wonder how much money was really coming
Speaker 2: in as my question, and maybe maybe it's paid for.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, she did say that on the show,
Speaker 3: which I don't know if you've been watching this season,
Speaker 3: but on the show she said that people think she
Speaker 3: made way more money off of SCANDABAL than she actually did.
Speaker 2: She know, she got that Dancing with the Stars money,
Speaker 2: that's network TV money, and she won, right, didn't she
Speaker 2: win the whole thing? So she was on the longest
Speaker 2: did you get paid the longer that you're on one
Speaker 2: of those shows.
Speaker 3: No, she didn't win.
Speaker 2: She was like in the finals, right, like she went
Speaker 2: to the end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't think they make that much money.
Speaker 3: I think the max you probably make is like maybe
Speaker 3: three hundred three fifty or or perhaps four hundred k max. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's not tons. I mean it's a good amount.
Speaker 4: That's a good amount.
Speaker 3: I'd be really happy with that. What are you talking
Speaker 3: about it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when you're talking about six weeks of work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's more than six weeks.
Speaker 4: But well maybe ten weeks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're probably right.
Speaker 3: You already brought up Maudisio. But Kyle Richards Kyle, Yeah,
Speaker 3: his still wife spoke up recently about all the drama
Speaker 3: with her family that bubbled up again after Moudisio was
Speaker 3: discussing things publicly on selling no buying Beverly Hills, not
Speaker 3: selling Sunset, Right, I'm buying Beverly Hills. Kyle says that
Speaker 3: her daughters spoke to the cousins, you know, Paris and Nikki,
Speaker 3: and all is good with the cousins. But she's not
Speaker 3: talking to anybody about it because she's tired of the drama.
Speaker 3: Candice Owens, the political commentator, has been fired by the
Speaker 3: Daily Wire, and I feel like I don't have enough
Speaker 3: backstory and I don't follow her that closely.
Speaker 2: By the way, I've never heard of the Daily Wire
Speaker 2: in my life. Being fired by them. Could just be
Speaker 2: a budget thing.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, she was fired allegedly for anti Semitism.
Speaker 3: She seems like a peach her spreading you know, the
Speaker 3: conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2: The elections rigged, all the other stuff they're talking points.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jewish people and money or Jewish people control the media,
Speaker 3: and this and that and all of those things, is
Speaker 3: from what I read. But like, obviously it must be
Speaker 3: a lot of things to be fired. I don't care
Speaker 3: fire her oftentimes, though, things like this, it could end
Speaker 3: up helping her. Yeah, if I was Fox News, I
Speaker 3: would hire her. She's controversial and has awareness and could
Speaker 3: be good for the network.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, even Fox News has to get away
Speaker 2: from these people that are spreading untruths. I mean, they
Speaker 2: got sued for the whole election scandal, and they have
Speaker 2: to every time somebody goes on and says that crop
Speaker 2: they literally have to jump in and say that.
Speaker 4: Has proved to be untrue.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I think they're even a little
Speaker 2: bit more afraid of all the problems that they've run
Speaker 2: into with this quote free speech. Turns out free speech
Speaker 2: isn't free.
Speaker 4: It costs a lot of money.
Speaker 3: Some music news, Congratulations to Ariana Grande, her new album
Speaker 3: is number one for a second week in a row.
Speaker 3: And congratulations to Casey Musgraves, her new album came in
Speaker 3: at number two with her biggest week ever. Even though
Speaker 3: it was number two, she still did really well. And
Speaker 3: congratulations to Justin Timberlake. He did not debut at number
Speaker 3: thirty eight on the Billboard two hundred chart. He came
Speaker 3: in Shade. He came in at number four, which is
Speaker 3: the lowest debut of his career. But listen, number four
Speaker 3: is not embarrassing.
Speaker 2: No, especially when you look at the names in front
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's been doing this for thirty years, so
Speaker 3: I think it's also it's a good thing because obviously
Speaker 3: next year or the year after the InSync reunion is
Speaker 3: definitely happening. It's finally time, and I think that Justin
Speaker 3: Timberlake realizes that. Speaking of Justin Timberlake, his former longtime
Speaker 3: girlfriend Cameron Diaz has welcomed another child. At fifty one.
Speaker 3: She had a surrogate, like she did with their firstborn,
Speaker 3: a girl with the wonderfully unusual name Radix. I don't
Speaker 3: think I've ever heard of a kid being named Radix, Like,
Speaker 3: that's so unique's And yeah, Radis are a D D
Speaker 3: I X. She is gonna be five in December. Radis
Speaker 3: and their son is named Cardinal. I've never heard of
Speaker 3: a kid named Cardinal either, Cardinal like the bird.
Speaker 6: Huh.
Speaker 3: I guess Cardi will be the nickname rad and Cardi
Speaker 3: cards or Cards. Yeah, congratulations to them. Also, two quick
Speaker 3: things before we end. But before that, I've got to
Speaker 3: give a thank you to some of our new Patreon supporters.
Speaker 3: Jeremy Flowers, jelly Fish. I don't know if that's your
Speaker 3: real name.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with no.
Speaker 3: Also, Louise popa Witch, Red Leaf, all these people using yeah.
Speaker 4: Use your aliases.
Speaker 5: I like aliases. It's like a handle.
Speaker 4: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Red Leaf. Welcome. Zu Haidi Garcia. She's Cuban. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Zu Hadi is one of the most Cuban names I've
Speaker 3: ever heard. Oh yeah, zu Hadi. It's like from a
Speaker 3: very specific generation in Cuba where they started giving kids
Speaker 3: the wackiest names like zu Haiti, Yami Lee.
Speaker 4: But it sounds nice.
Speaker 2: Though it's got a nice I'm sure it's hard to
Speaker 2: say in a job interview. I would be embarrassed trying
Speaker 2: to say the person's name, but I would do my
Speaker 2: best because it sounds really pretty.
Speaker 3: Also, thank you to Emily Luski and Ashley McKinney. We
Speaker 3: appreciate you all. If you want bonus shows from us
Speaker 3: exclusive on Patreon, sign up today at patreon dot com
Speaker 3: slash Perez Hilton. All right, finally, I'm gonna share two
Speaker 3: quick things that I saw recently that I thought were
Speaker 3: really cool. One, if you haven't seen it, thank god.
Speaker 3: It looks like it's delivering the Beetlejuice trailer. I was
Speaker 3: so excited for it. It looks so good. Jenna Ortega
Speaker 3: obviously is new to the cast, and she just makes sense.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I buy this.
Speaker 4: She looks exactly like I know.
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it, why it works. I'm
Speaker 3: so excited. Even Catherine O'Hara's back. It's like, yeah, the
Speaker 3: whole gang. I'm so excited. And finally, I'm the gay
Speaker 3: that loves gymnastics and figure skating year round, not just
Speaker 3: during the Olympics. You must seek this out because it
Speaker 3: is mind blowing. This nineteen year old American from I
Speaker 3: didn't even know this city existed in the United States
Speaker 3: from Actually you might because you're from West Virginia, from Virginia.
Speaker 3: This kid from Vienna, Virginia. Either there was a Vienna, Virginia. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Anyways, it's not as magical as you think.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, No, his name is Ilia Malanin. He just
Speaker 3: gave one of the most historic, amazing figure skating performances
Speaker 3: of all time.
Speaker 2: I think I actually saw this. Is this the one
Speaker 2: that performed the flip that had never been done or something?
Speaker 3: Not a flip? No, No, the quadruple axle, that's what it was,
Speaker 3: or quadruple flip or quadruple whatever the fuck.
Speaker 2: I just I saw the reading of it online. By
Speaker 2: the way, you up on the show, Hey Otani story.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is fucking scandalous in the baseball world.
Speaker 3: I saw that the guy's interpreter was part of some
Speaker 3: gambling situation or was he?
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the ultimate conspiracy theory. What do
Speaker 2: you mean does he really have access to four million
Speaker 2: dollars of show?
Speaker 5: Hey Otani's I don't think so.
Speaker 2: So a lot of people are speculating that it's show
Speaker 2: Hay's debt. He's the fall guy either way. He sent
Speaker 2: a wire from his account to pay for this debt,
Speaker 2: which is illegal in the state of California. That's a
Speaker 2: big no no with the Major League Baseball and their
Speaker 2: collective bargaining. So, you know, he's the face of the
Speaker 2: game internationally. Forget about this country, but he is, like
Speaker 2: he is the man when it comes to it, and
Speaker 2: this is a giant black eye for baseball right now,
Speaker 2: you know, the season's about to really get underway. They
Speaker 2: don't know if they're gonna have to suspend him. According
Speaker 2: to the CBA the agreement with Major League Baseball, they
Speaker 2: have to. Now if they don't, he's gonna get special
Speaker 2: treatment that he's got to do. I guess he's gonna
Speaker 2: do some sort of press conference today. They changed their
Speaker 2: story like three times so far. It's fucking juicy, dude,
Speaker 2: it's really good.
Speaker 3: Well. I was paying attention to that story in Miami
Speaker 3: of that one tennis player whose boyfriend committed suicide, and
Speaker 3: then the update there was she released a statement saying
Speaker 3: that they had been broken up, but obviously she was
Speaker 3: still heartbroken, and then she didn't make it very far
Speaker 3: in the tournament even though she's one of the top
Speaker 3: players in the world. Interesting. All right, let's take some calls. Hi.
Speaker 6: This is Jasmine from Saratoga Springs. I'm listening to the
Speaker 6: most recent Patreon episode and just wanted to call in
Speaker 6: about Megan Fox. I guess I kind of liked her
Speaker 6: back in like the Transformers and Jennifer's Body era. I
Speaker 6: don't really have much of an opinion of her, and
Speaker 6: then throughout the years I heard like what an underrated
Speaker 6: feminist she is in Hollywood, but I don't know. She
Speaker 6: seems just to kind of have gone off the deep
Speaker 6: end the last few years, and it's just left a
Speaker 6: sour case in my mouth about her. She's definitely not
Speaker 6: a celebrity role model i'd want my daughters looking up to,
Speaker 6: and whatever her and MGK have going on just seems
Speaker 6: to be modeling like really unhealthy relationship patterns. But that's
Speaker 6: just my two cents word.
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, this is Renee calling from Washington State and
Speaker 7: I'm a Patreon subscriber and I was just listening to
Speaker 7: the whole thing with Gipsey Rose Blanchard and her taking
Speaker 7: off social media. And I do have to agree with Booker,
Speaker 7: although he's skeptical, which I get. I think that you know,
Speaker 7: she's pretty young, and.
Speaker 3: She's not that young young mentally, she's thirty two years old, stunted,
Speaker 3: and she.
Speaker 7: I mean, she's kind of gone through a lot as
Speaker 7: a kid. And I would just have to wonder developmentally
Speaker 7: and where her brain is developmentally, as to how wise
Speaker 7: she is, and just to really how much she really
Speaker 7: knows about social media and what it does and what
Speaker 7: people think of her. And I don't know mental health wise,
Speaker 7: I don't know that she knows.
Speaker 3: What wise decisions are at this point anyway.
Speaker 7: So she may have done it for herself. She may
Speaker 7: have done it to keep herself out of jail. She
Speaker 7: may have done it because she's learning to be a
Speaker 7: good person. I'd like to hope that it's the latter,
Speaker 7: but I'd like to give her the benefit of it
Speaker 7: out too. So love you guys, and love the.
Speaker 3: Show, I mean, and also just a total like extra tidbit.
Speaker 3: It wasn't that newsworthy, but for all of my fellow
Speaker 3: Tavis shippers, Travis and Taylor went on vacation recently to
Speaker 3: the Bahamas, enjoyed some downtime together, and then they were
Speaker 3: spotted yesterday having lunch at Nobu Malibu. Nice.
Speaker 2: All right, let's wrap it up.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you all, appreciate you. Remember if you want
Speaker 3: to share our link with everyone, perezpodcast dot com and
Speaker 3: see some of you on Thursday at Patreon dot com
Speaker 3: slash Perez Hilton. Have a wonderful week
Speaker 4: Take care everybody,
