Speaker 1: From Los Angeles and.
Speaker 2: One and only famous Perez Hilton. Everybody, welcome to the
Speaker 2: PHP on iHeartRadio. How about that, Perez, I'm with you.
Speaker 2: I want to cry too.
Speaker 1: I'm going to no, not that. I just you know,
Speaker 1: I really believe in our show. We've been doing it
Speaker 1: a long as time. It deserves to be heard by
Speaker 1: more people. And I am cautiously optimistic that this new company,
Speaker 1: which is your parent company, they they hire you to
Speaker 1: have the radio show in Los Angeles. I'm cautiously optimistic
Speaker 1: that they will do by us. We told our Patreon
Speaker 1: supporters last Thursday about the move, and if you're getting
Speaker 1: to this episode on a day other than Mondays, please
Speaker 1: please please. We would love it. We could really use
Speaker 1: it if you get back in the habit of listening
Speaker 1: on Mondays as soon as we release these and also
Speaker 1: go to Apple Podcasts, rate our show, write a comment.
Speaker 2: You're boring all these new people to death, perezkay show
Speaker 2: who cares?
Speaker 1: All right? Well, I just really want this to do well?
Speaker 1: All right? Today, of course we're talking to the Oscars.
Speaker 1: We're discussing Ariana Grande, Andy Cohen, Princess Catherine, the Duchess,
Speaker 1: Kanye West, Richard Simmons and Moore. But first I went
Speaker 1: to an Oscars party.
Speaker 3: Last night, Vanity Fair had an Oscars party in Las Vegas,
Speaker 3: the first time they've.
Speaker 1: Ever done that.
Speaker 3: Like I'm telling you, like, Vegas is the spot, It's
Speaker 3: it's the place to be.
Speaker 1: And they had it at the win At, which I've
Speaker 1: never been to before.
Speaker 2: Isn't Delilah the coolest? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I was glad just to check it out. I don't
Speaker 3: even know why I had never been before. I just
Speaker 3: i'd never been invited.
Speaker 1: I like to go places where I'm invited and they
Speaker 1: tell me, like we want you to come, and.
Speaker 2: You got to go for dinner. It's a supper club.
Speaker 2: They got somebody on stage singing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's a really cool throwback kind of place the Oscars.
Speaker 1: So you know, if you go to an Oscars party,
Speaker 1: it's it's probably not the best way to pay close
Speaker 1: attention to everything Oscars because people are chatty and maybe
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles they'd be they'll be like quiet the
Speaker 1: whole time, but not in Vegas.
Speaker 2: Pretend care. It's a lot of pretend caring.
Speaker 1: But the Vanity Fair Oscar party in Vegas was sponsored
Speaker 1: by Ceoman. Is that how you pronounce it Zeo. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what it is.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 1: Actually? Demi Levado is the new spokesperson for Zeomen. I
Speaker 1: think it's Zeomen. They're like a competitor to Boatowks or Disport.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's an injectable to like be smoother.
Speaker 1: So I was in heaven because like, that's my demo,
Speaker 1: all of these women of a certain age, because it
Speaker 1: was like half invited people from Vegas and then they
Speaker 1: flew out like fifty of the top injectors and they're,
Speaker 1: you know, my demo. So they all kept coming over
Speaker 1: to me talking to me, and we were like gossiping,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, let's talk about so like I got
Speaker 1: the tea. Oh my god, I'm like, we're just gonna
Speaker 1: go there. Ryan Gostling, we were all aghast at his face.
Speaker 1: He got some work done.
Speaker 3: He did obviously, Yes, all the girls were like, yep,
Speaker 3: look at it.
Speaker 1: Look at how plump his cheeks are. You know, he.
Speaker 2: Looks different in Barbie though, if you think about the.
Speaker 1: Movie, he looks different in Barbie. He got some something
Speaker 1: done in the last bit.
Speaker 2: And for him to be so cut too in the movie,
Speaker 2: and you watch the movie. I mean, he is unnaturally cut.
Speaker 2: He almost looks like a Kendall. I wonder what he
Speaker 2: did or what he took to shred down that much,
Speaker 2: because he is really like zero point zero body fat
Speaker 2: to the point he looks odd.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't remember in the movie. He might
Speaker 1: they might have just enhanced him with CGI, or it
Speaker 1: might also be makeup.
Speaker 2: I didn't think of that.
Speaker 1: There's a variety of different things that you could do. Also,
Speaker 1: somebody else that my girlies told me had some work done.
Speaker 1: I love this because it's not me saying it. It's
Speaker 1: like these experienced professionals that do this for a living.
Speaker 1: They can tell Bradley Cooper.
Speaker 3: I could tell also though Bradley Cooper and right, you
Speaker 3: have to go and look at photos now you'll see
Speaker 3: Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosly.
Speaker 2: You know. I saw Bradley Cooper, and to me, for
Speaker 2: the first time, I thought, yes, he looked a little different.
Speaker 2: But for the first time I thought, oh, this is
Speaker 2: the first time I've seen him age a little. I
Speaker 2: didn't go I didn't think he was like looking younger.
Speaker 2: I thought he was starting to look more like an
Speaker 2: older white guy.
Speaker 1: Here's the difference. After they all started like filling my
Speaker 1: brain with this chatter, I was like, wow, look at
Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey. He's aging, he's looking old and droopy, or
Speaker 1: like just you lose the elasticity in your face. And
Speaker 1: that's fine.
Speaker 2: Gravity hits yet, I know.
Speaker 3: It's it's absolutely fine. He looks he looks good too. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but let's get to it the red carpet. We don't
Speaker 3: have Jones rivers anymore. Sadly, I'll give you just the
Speaker 3: best dressed in my opinion, and the worst dress, because
Speaker 3: it's not or not like a visual podcast, we're just
Speaker 3: audio by far. For me, the best just ethereal perfection
Speaker 3: from head to toe. It doesn't necessarily give me like
Speaker 3: groundbreaking or never been done, but it doesn't have to.
Speaker 3: I just want like a timeless, polished look.
Speaker 2: Zendiada Zandeia.
Speaker 1: And when she came out during the show, she was
Speaker 1: literally floating on the stage.
Speaker 2: I don't think I saw her. I saw a girl
Speaker 2: in a white dress that looked really cool. Oh, Emma Stone,
Speaker 2: would she have a white dress on? No?
Speaker 3: Hers was more like a like a green blue, like
Speaker 3: a like a turquoise color.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know, the girl that looks like an elf,
Speaker 2: the girl that's really got the whitest skin and the
Speaker 2: white hair. She's really pretty and she's like, she's like
Speaker 2: a real hip Hollywood girl at the moment. But I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: I have Florence Peugh. Florence Peugh.
Speaker 2: No, it's the other one. She looks like Lord a
Speaker 2: little bit. Her eyes are kind of far apart. She
Speaker 2: she's really hot.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know what you're talking about. She was
Speaker 1: your best dressed.
Speaker 2: She looked great.
Speaker 1: My least favorite look Ariana Grande. Did you see her I.
Speaker 2: Did on stage. Yeah, she looks completely different, but I
Speaker 2: like that she looks.
Speaker 1: I don't mind. I'm not talking about her appearance. I'm
Speaker 1: just talking about just about her dress, that expression of
Speaker 1: you know, you don't wear the dress, or the dress
Speaker 1: wears you. The dress wore her. Okay, it just she
Speaker 1: was swallowed up by that ginormous thing. I liked. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you got it, because you're not a gay.
Speaker 1: But I liked the homage and the coordination with Cynthia
Speaker 1: Arrivo of the Wicked Colors. You know, the Cynthia Alphaba
Speaker 1: wore green, and she wore pink forda, but it was
Speaker 1: too much pink. It was drowning. I also love that.
Speaker 1: Like one of the most talked about moments of the Oscars,
Speaker 1: she kind of did it really well. Was Vanessa Hudgens
Speaker 1: announcing her pregnancy there and looking great. Also congratulations to her.
Speaker 1: Also hilarious was during the pre show this influencer slash.
Speaker 1: She's an actor as well, Liza Koshi. She totally ate
Speaker 1: it and fell, And that's the best thing that could
Speaker 1: have happened to her because that video went viral.
Speaker 2: Poor thing. I mean, your worst nightmare, you finally get
Speaker 2: to go to one of those.
Speaker 1: No, that's the best thing that happened to her, I.
Speaker 2: Know, but still a nightmare at the moment. It's a
Speaker 2: nightmare in retrospect, You're a thousand percent right.
Speaker 1: She handled it really well too. She was very funny
Speaker 1: about it. Did laugh and then I think it's funny.
Speaker 1: It's interesting that one of the most talked about moments
Speaker 1: of the show was this John Cena bit where he
Speaker 1: was nude presenting you know, best costume design was good.
Speaker 2: I mean, he pulled that off. It was a great bit.
Speaker 2: His acting chops with Kim was was really good. I
Speaker 2: thought it was funny.
Speaker 1: It was funny, but it was also lame. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I thought it was lame too, but it was,
Speaker 1: but it was. But it was funny and he looked funny.
Speaker 2: Best costume he had nothing on. It's really good.
Speaker 1: He looked hot. I liked it. And then I think, also,
Speaker 1: you know, a highlight was when he was reading that
Speaker 1: review from Donald Trump, which was actually a real review
Speaker 1: that was great. Donald Trump literally posted that, which then
Speaker 1: I got PTSD. I'm like, oh God, we're really talking
Speaker 1: about Trump again. It's like, oh, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be talking about Trump anymore. Like it's like I buried
Speaker 1: him in the back of my mind. I thought Kimmel
Speaker 1: did a great job. I thought the performances were good,
Speaker 1: although going back to Ryan Reynolds, he gave the best performance.
Speaker 1: But I do have a note because I am, you know,
Speaker 1: critical with the reason. I hated that he did not
Speaker 1: take off his sunglasses for the entire performance. He's kid,
Speaker 1: But I think I know why he did it because
Speaker 1: the botox. No, he didn't. He ninety nine percent committed
Speaker 1: to it. He really committed to it. But I think
Speaker 1: there was a part of him that was still nervous,
Speaker 1: and it was like a safety blanket and not having
Speaker 1: to make direct eye contact when he was out of
Speaker 1: his comfort zone and wheelhouse like performing in front of
Speaker 1: all these superstars. It made him feel safer having these
Speaker 1: sunglasses on, but he committed to it, like, just take
Speaker 1: the fucking sunglasses off. It was a little thing, but
Speaker 1: it annoyed me odd critique of it. Really I wanted
Speaker 1: to see his eyes.
Speaker 2: I saw the whole thing. I thought it was great.
Speaker 2: I thought the whole shot that they took with all
Speaker 2: of the Barbie heads from overhead was just it's a ceremony,
Speaker 2: it's not about music. Was fantastic that he had Slash
Speaker 2: come out of play That was better than some Grammy performance.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and you know he's not even a singer.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they had a new set design person,
Speaker 1: but kudos to whoever did that. It was so cool,
Speaker 1: Like I loved the stage and visually it was so
Speaker 1: beautiful looking at the Oscars this year, So congrats to
Speaker 1: everybody involved. And obviously we got to do like maybe
Speaker 1: like a memorable speech. I would say Emma Stone. However,
Speaker 1: if I'm analyzing the Emma Stone acceptance speech, which is
Speaker 1: maybe arguably the most memorable of the night. I'm like,
Speaker 1: she just copied Jennifer Lawrence from like a few years like,
Speaker 1: you're giving us a Jennifer Lawrence performance of an Oscar's
Speaker 1: acceptance speech. It's like note for note Jennifer Lawrence.
Speaker 2: I love her and I don't care. I just think
Speaker 2: that she's the most fantastic person in Hollywood. I love
Speaker 2: Emma Stone.
Speaker 1: I like her a lot too. I also liked that
Speaker 1: Emma Stone has been doing this since she was a teenager,
Speaker 1: like so young. She actually, I don't know if anybody
Speaker 1: remembers this. She began her career as a reality TV star.
Speaker 2: She has rich parents or something. I think I was
Speaker 2: looking into her the other day. I'm pretty sure it's her.
Speaker 2: I hope I have it right. But yeah, she comes
Speaker 2: from a lot of money and they moved here to
Speaker 2: make it happen. But man, she's good.
Speaker 1: She's really good.
Speaker 3: She began her career in reality TV back in the
Speaker 3: nineties I think or early two thousands.
Speaker 1: They did this reality show about finding the next Partridge Family, really,
Speaker 1: and she got chosen to be one of the people
Speaker 1: in that. Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that Yeah, by the way, the Billie
Speaker 2: Eilish Hidias thing is so boring at this point Performance
Speaker 2: forty five.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I thought it was just me. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what's okay, there's nothing special about this.
Speaker 2: But it's funny because they did it at another Award
Speaker 2: show and I was like, God, it's so good for
Speaker 2: the movie and it's so fitting and it's perfect for
Speaker 2: that film. And I just had this great feeling about it.
Speaker 2: Then I saw them do it again last night. I
Speaker 2: was like, this is the most boring thing I've ever
Speaker 2: seen in my life. It's funny. Once you do it
Speaker 2: once on the award shows, you shouldn't do it again.
Speaker 1: No, it's not that, it's just like a lack of vision,
Speaker 1: Like they needed like a great artistic director to like
Speaker 1: guide a different type of performance of.
Speaker 2: Right, Like I'm just ken was a complete performance video
Speaker 2: art kind of thing. And there's was it. But maybe
Speaker 2: they didn't.
Speaker 1: To do that. That's probably it. Yeah, they didn't want
Speaker 1: to do it. I'm like, but it was so boring.
Speaker 1: And I love that song for sure. That song.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, how about al Pacino at the end,
Speaker 2: he is a dishoveled mess. I mean he comes out there,
Speaker 2: nothing's fitting.
Speaker 3: But he's eighty something, He's he's able to get away
Speaker 3: with that.
Speaker 2: I guess. He just looks like someone fished him off
Speaker 2: of an intersection at an off ramp here in Los
Speaker 2: Angeles and threw a suit on him. What a mess.
Speaker 1: He's eighty three years old. Okay, he just came up.
Speaker 2: And gets the off it opens and up like I
Speaker 2: see an Oppenheimer in here. I mean, the weirdest announcement
Speaker 2: I think I've ever seen him. It was a typical Pachino.
Speaker 2: I met him once, like uh, and he was a
Speaker 2: lot younger then obviously when I worked at ET, but
Speaker 2: that was probably twenty some years ago. But he was
Speaker 2: a lovely man. I mean, he was so sweet and
Speaker 2: almost delicate to speak with. And I'm sitting there looking
Speaker 2: at this guy that's played all these ah, these these
Speaker 2: you know, over the top rolls, and to meet the
Speaker 2: man that was so spoken and caring with his words
Speaker 2: and with his time was always cool to me.
Speaker 1: At least he announced the right winner. Okay, Yeah, Let's
Speaker 1: move to the UK with a story that has gripped
Speaker 1: the world. Catherine Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
Speaker 2: What is going on Catherine Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend. In the UK, they celebrated Mother's Day
Speaker 1: on Sunday. In America, he celebrated in May, and the
Speaker 1: Palace released a photo that was allegedly taken by Prince
Speaker 1: William earlier this week. Okay, They distributed that photo to
Speaker 1: all of the news agencies, including the Associated Press, and
Speaker 1: then hours later, the Associated Press and all of these
Speaker 1: other news agencies issued a quote kill order to yank
Speaker 1: the photo, stop its distribution and alert publication that they
Speaker 1: believe this photo that was taken allegedly by Prince William,
Speaker 1: allegedly just a few days ago, was manipulated. Well, let
Speaker 1: me tell you what they claim. Okay. The Associated Press says,
Speaker 1: quote the photo show is an inconsistency in the alignment
Speaker 1: of Princess Charlotte's left hand others, and that was the
Speaker 1: quote from the AP. The article also pointed out quote
Speaker 1: others have also noted inconsistencies in the alignment of the
Speaker 1: sweater pattern on Prince Louis's shoulder, as well as a
Speaker 1: jagged white line in the background near his knee. Like
Speaker 1: I don't understand, okay, did they photoshop it to make
Speaker 1: them like to clean the image up, like that's fine.
Speaker 2: And that's almost normal.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's like a normal I don't get it.
Speaker 2: Well. See when I heard this story initially, Perez, I
Speaker 2: thought that did.
Speaker 1: They like photoshop her in from a different photo. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's what I thought.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I didn't think that. I thought that
Speaker 2: the office, whatever the fuck. I thought that the firm,
Speaker 2: the firm. Fine. I thought that the firm put out
Speaker 2: a picture and like quote the timeline and said this
Speaker 2: was taken last Wednesday. Whatever. And then some sluts are like,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, she wasn't at this place last Wednesday.
Speaker 2: That's an error, which makes an error in our reporting.
Speaker 1: When I read the allegations of what's wrong with the photo,
Speaker 1: nothing had to do with Princess Catherine. Were in conspiracies
Speaker 1: de Lulu land worldwide. It's a global problem.
Speaker 3: It's just the internet, no, but but it's the fucking
Speaker 3: Associated press.
Speaker 1: Now. It's like, are you gonna say then that you're
Speaker 1: not gonna distribute a photo if there's like, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna distribute any Madonna photos because she photoshops the fuck
Speaker 1: out of all her pictures.
Speaker 2: The whole world is moving towards on its own to
Speaker 2: AI and all of these artificial things, and I think
Speaker 2: the world is trying to get in front of some
Speaker 2: of it with their credibility by saying, Hey, this isn't
Speaker 2: what it was sold to us or what it appears.
Speaker 2: And I think that trusted news sources are all gonna
Speaker 2: have to somehow get behind that, because they could take
Speaker 2: your voice and make it sound like somebody else, they
Speaker 2: could take your image and make it look like somebody else.
Speaker 2: I think maybe there's some of that that could be
Speaker 2: a play here.
Speaker 1: Although I did see something that Instagram announced that they're
Speaker 1: gonna start labeling somehow AI photos as AI, which I'm
Speaker 1: thankful for because sometimes, like I follow enough accounts, like
Speaker 1: I like looking at like design things and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at that cute pink cabin in the woods. That's
Speaker 1: fucking fake.
Speaker 3: Why are you showing me a fake pink I want
Speaker 3: to see a fake pink cabin.
Speaker 1: I want a real pink cabin in the woods, Like
Speaker 1: damn you, all right, let's keep it moving over in
Speaker 1: the United States.
Speaker 2: Here in the United States.
Speaker 3: Yeah, from the UK over to the United back to
Speaker 3: the United I didn't actually go there for the story,
Speaker 3: Oh shut Up. In the US, anti Semitic rapper Kanye
Speaker 3: West is making headlines regarding his daughter North, who is ten.
Speaker 1: Or eleven years old. Over the weekend, Northwest announced that
Speaker 1: she is soon to be releasing her debut album all Right.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, like, I don't even it almost
Speaker 1: feels wrong, but but I am going to share some opinion.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's weird. It's weird. I understand her parents
Speaker 1: are super famous, but I would think they would still
Speaker 1: want to try some normalcy or like to learn from others, right,
Speaker 1: Like look at Willow Smith. She did a something similar
Speaker 1: around the same age and then decided, you know what, no,
Speaker 1: let me chill for a bit and go back to
Speaker 1: being a normal kid. There's nothing normal about an eleven
Speaker 1: year old releasing an album. I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is a true title, but it might be called elementary
Speaker 1: school drop out.
Speaker 2: I mean that's funny because dad's was college drop out.
Speaker 2: I mean that's good.
Speaker 1: But you know, if this kid does release an album,
Speaker 1: she's gonna want to perform it, promote it.
Speaker 2: Maybe not. I mean, this could just be a hobby,
Speaker 2: and you know, it's already telling me that. It's a
Speaker 2: bit of a parody when you look at the title.
Speaker 2: Kid wants to make an album because dad makes albums
Speaker 2: and wants to go in the studio, And why not.
Speaker 2: This might be a lot of fun. It could be
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. And look, and if you're rich
Speaker 2: and you can do this for your kids, fine. Remember
Speaker 2: when we were kids, they'd have recording studios like in
Speaker 2: beach towns. Remember that.
Speaker 1: No, no, they had it in the County Fair every year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't like Rebecca Black's song come from that.
Speaker 1: It was a different thing. She hired somebody. I think
Speaker 1: I have my tape, you know, back in the day,
Speaker 1: the eighties and early nineties, I did. I remember I
Speaker 1: did Burning Love by Elvis. I don't know why, but
Speaker 1: I still have my tape.
Speaker 2: I could see you as Elvis as a young man.
Speaker 1: Sure, I didn't even have a fucking cassette player, but
Speaker 1: that'd be really fun. Only by somefo I was able
Speaker 1: to transfer it to a digital file. Oh my gon,
Speaker 1: how do you do that?
Speaker 2: Just go online? You can send it to somebody. They'll
Speaker 2: do it for you.
Speaker 1: I got to figure it out, all right. People are
Speaker 1: having a field day with Kim Kardashi and going to
Speaker 1: the Vanity Fair Oscar party. What's she doing here?
Speaker 2: Doesn't she go every year?
Speaker 1: I know all those people were there, the Kylie and
Speaker 1: Kendall were there. La la la la la.
Speaker 2: That's for the people that don't have any talent. Hey, hey,
Speaker 2: it's true. It's it's to be seen. It's not like
Speaker 2: a actor event. Yeah, that's who should be there.
Speaker 1: Back to the British Royal Family, the Americans, British Royal
Speaker 1: Family Printerian Meghan Markele. They were in Texas. Meghan Markle
Speaker 1: spoke at I think it was south By Southwest, the
Speaker 1: tech part.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's happening.
Speaker 1: And afterwards they made a visit to Ubaldi and they
Speaker 1: paid a surprise stop. They went to see shooting victims
Speaker 1: family from the massacre there a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people were like, what was she
Speaker 1: doing there? She's got no connection. I don't care. Do
Speaker 1: I think it's a media moment, Yes, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: bother me if celebrities do philanthropy just to make themselves better,
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, they're still doing
Speaker 1: something positive.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I don't see how that's philanthropy though they're
Speaker 2: not anybody. They're not royals, they're not anything. They're just
Speaker 2: there to be seen. And it's hard to get past that.
Speaker 1: But if they made this woman, Claudia Martinez is her name,
Speaker 1: if they may, she's not even a kid, she's an adult.
Speaker 1: Her sister was a teacher who died it.
Speaker 2: Look, if they are a fan of the whole British
Speaker 2: thing and the royal family and they are into that,
Speaker 2: then you find out about it. Okay, But like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm going to go visit these people just because I'm
Speaker 2: a celebrity. Because that's all she is is a celebrity.
Speaker 2: I mean, she's not a royal or anything. It's just
Speaker 2: it is a little off putting. I get that if
Speaker 2: there was something attached to it, like and when they
Speaker 2: gave away a million dollars or something, what's the do
Speaker 2: good or act other than I'm so important, I just
Speaker 2: showed up to give you my time. Like it's a
Speaker 2: little off.
Speaker 1: Putting to some, it didn't bother me, especially because they've
Speaker 1: also I think that Megan Markle went to Uvaldi before,
Speaker 1: so she just cares. Yeah, I was more bothered the
Speaker 1: first time. I was bothered the first time. Now that
Speaker 1: she's gone again. It doesn't bother me so much, all right.
Speaker 1: A big update in the Andy Cohen cocaine at a Geishaan's.
Speaker 1: Andy has responded, I would say a bit too late
Speaker 1: to Leah McSweeney's bombshell lawsuit where she alleged that he
Speaker 1: does cocaine with some of his favorite housewives through his lawyers.
Speaker 1: His lawyers released a scathing letter saying, quote, the letter
Speaker 1: is littered with false, offensive, and defamatory statements. Demand that
Speaker 1: you immediately retract and withdraw all allegations relating to mister
Speaker 1: Cohen's purported cocaine use. He goes on the lawyers to
Speaker 1: say that these allegations were made up to try to
Speaker 1: get a big payday and force a settlement from Andy Cohen,
Speaker 1: saying this will not work. It's a serious charge, and
Speaker 1: they are now threatening to sue Leah McSweeney if she
Speaker 1: does not retract that charge.
Speaker 2: I think both things can be true at the same time.
Speaker 2: What do you mean, Well, I believe that there's a
Speaker 2: possibility that he has partied with some housewives at some point,
Speaker 2: and I also think that there's a money grab element
Speaker 2: to this, somebody trying to get paid. Do I think
Speaker 2: both parties could be one hundred percent right, Probably not.
Speaker 2: When it says littered with false allegations, that doesn't exactly
Speaker 2: say that everything alleged everything is untrue, So they left
Speaker 2: themselves some wiggle room.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of gig guys, Richard Simmons allegedly continues to
Speaker 1: tweet up a storm, posting a ton of stuff on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and I just I don't believe it's him. I find
Speaker 1: this so hard to believe. But if you're a Richard
Speaker 1: Simmons fan and you miss him, go to the Weight
Speaker 1: Saints Twitter, the Wait Saint. He even posted a song
Speaker 1: that had allegedly never been released before by Richard Simmons,
Speaker 1: and he uploaded it on YouTube. So he goes from
Speaker 1: like ghosting the world and now tweeting and posting on YouTube.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. I still don't think it's him,
Speaker 1: and I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but go check it out.
Speaker 2: I see him on Facebook if he's going to be
Speaker 2: anywhere at all, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see that. That's
Speaker 2: where his audience lives. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of music, Ariana Grande dropped her new album
Speaker 1: and one of my gays texted me saying it was
Speaker 1: I don't even care. I mean whatever. He used some
Speaker 1: harsh words like awful.
Speaker 3: And blah blah blah, and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I hadn't gotten around to listening to it yet.
Speaker 1: I listened to it. I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: I did too. I listened to it Friday night and
Speaker 2: a little bit in the garage yesterday when I was
Speaker 2: working on something. I think it's a really good record.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's it's not like her best work, but it's
Speaker 2: really good.
Speaker 1: My friend's problem is he likes like mainstream hits, right,
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, I get it. There might not
Speaker 1: be any like obvious bops on here, but the new single.
Speaker 1: I liked the new single, the one that she too,
Speaker 1: and I'm just grateful, like now we've had some space.
Speaker 1: Like remember that song of hers that was a hit,
Speaker 1: that seven Rings song, I got it, I want it.
Speaker 1: I bought it.
Speaker 3: That shit was dog ass awful and it was a
Speaker 3: big hit. But this is more mature.
Speaker 1: I think she just worked with the same people on
Speaker 1: all the songs, so it's like a real cohesive. It's
Speaker 1: mature pop.
Speaker 2: And I also think that her production is so well done,
Speaker 2: like her team is so good. They've crafted a yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't sound like everybody else, and it's real
Speaker 2: professional and polished, and they don't need to hide her
Speaker 2: vocals because she can fucking sing unlike most pop stars
Speaker 2: out there. So it's always done really well, and I
Speaker 2: just think it's just an extension of that. It's done
Speaker 2: really well. It's funny you mentioned the crap song. I
Speaker 2: listened to Ga Gay's rain on Me with her doing
Speaker 2: the with the verses or the chorus, whatever the fuck
Speaker 2: she's rain on Me. But I heard that yesterday and
Speaker 2: I was like, this is better than ninety percent of
Speaker 2: the garbage out right now, I mean, and that was
Speaker 2: in our eyes sort of a throwaway.
Speaker 1: There's one song, but the new single, I think it's
Speaker 1: we Can't Be Friends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that song.
Speaker 1: I like it too, dot dot dot. But I did
Speaker 1: a little research afterwards because I'm like, Wow, they're sampling
Speaker 1: Robin on this right, this is totally a Robin sample.
Speaker 2: It feels like a Robin Robin was.
Speaker 1: Not credited as a song. They better give Robin a
Speaker 1: songwriting credit on that.
Speaker 2: To listen again, Oh my god, there's so much possible.
Speaker 1: Keep ding on it. They fucking ripped off that song.
Speaker 2: You know it is funny because Kellen was running around
Speaker 2: the house yesterday singing dancing on my own and I
Speaker 2: bet that's how I got in her head. There you go, earworm.
Speaker 2: Earworms are real. It doesn't mean you rip somebody off them.
Speaker 1: No, they totally ripped her off. She also was on
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live, and she's not the most dynamic live performer.
Speaker 1: She's never has she never has been and not you
Speaker 1: don't even have to move around a lot.
Speaker 3: It's like there's just an element of still sadness or shine.
Speaker 1: I don't fucking get it. Like not that it wasn't
Speaker 1: bad either, it just wasn't like wow, you.
Speaker 2: Know you touched on the word and you didn't let
Speaker 2: it out. It's a weird shyness that she has now
Speaker 2: h I alluded to it a couple of shows ago
Speaker 2: when I talked about her kind of stripping everything back
Speaker 2: in her life. And it looks she looks different. I'm
Speaker 2: not even talking about the way she looks. She sounds
Speaker 2: different when she talks. When she talked on the Grammys,
Speaker 2: I was like, it's so weird to hear her regularly
Speaker 2: or I'm sorry the oscars. It's so weird to hear
Speaker 2: her regular voice.
Speaker 1: That's not her regular voice. This is like her little
Speaker 1: girl voice. It's fucking weird.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think that is her going
Speaker 2: back to her shyness. I think everything else she did
Speaker 2: was a put on and this is probably closer to
Speaker 2: who she really is. I just think she's going through
Speaker 2: a lot. She went through a lot, and she's really
Speaker 2: stripped it all down, from her look to her sound,
Speaker 2: and when it comes to being on stage, I mean,
Speaker 2: no one could ever forget the Rihanna eyroll when she
Speaker 2: was up there and her little stripper outfitted just started laughing.
Speaker 2: She got better over the years, but she needed a
Speaker 2: lot of things around her. She's never been that pink
Speaker 2: where she could stand out there on the stage pink,
Speaker 2: so confident, just the most confident artist, and she could just.
Speaker 1: Stand there, like you said, and it doesn't have to
Speaker 1: doesn't have to do the accri.
Speaker 2: Literally be still and somehow fill up the entire room.
Speaker 2: Arianna never had that. She needed accoutrements to get to that.
Speaker 2: But uh, she's still great. I mean her voice is
Speaker 2: still leaps and bounds above everybody else's. There's something about
Speaker 2: the way she bounces around a song. She definitely knows
Speaker 2: how to use her voice, she knows how to use
Speaker 2: a microphone. She can navigate her way around a song.
Speaker 2: She does know what she's doing.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, she can be amazing. Though,
Speaker 1: if you're a big Ariana fan, you've probably seen it
Speaker 1: or not if you want to go google. A few
Speaker 1: years ago, she was on this Wicked special on TV
Speaker 1: and she performed a Wicked song before she was even
Speaker 1: cast in the movie. That was excellent.
Speaker 2: I can't remember if we saw that or talked about that,
Speaker 2: but I bet that's.
Speaker 1: I don't think you saw it, especially because I think
Speaker 1: she was just happy, like she was happy singing the
Speaker 1: Wicked song.
Speaker 2: That's who she is. She's like some kid that's in
Speaker 2: high school that would stand outside of the theater, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. She's that girl, which is cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. She also sat down with Zane Lowe
Speaker 1: and I watched that interview and that was so boring.
Speaker 1: The Zach sangue was way better. Speaking of music news,
Speaker 1: let's move on. I'm trying to think if there is
Speaker 1: a world and where I think this is the right move.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I see it bad Bunny is
Speaker 1: suing this concert goer for uploading footage of his show
Speaker 1: to his YouTube channel, and I don't.
Speaker 2: Get it, Like why well is his label doing the suing?
Speaker 2: Does he know? Has he commented on it, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: He's not commented on it, but his lawyers have commented
Speaker 1: on it's saying that they went through YouTube trying to
Speaker 1: ask YouTube to take it down, and for some reason,
Speaker 1: because the guy fouled a counter claim, YouTube did not
Speaker 1: take it down. But I'm like, was it necessary? It's
Speaker 1: if you're in the right, and if you clearly own
Speaker 1: the rights, then it's just a hiccup and eventually YouTube
Speaker 1: will take it down. Just the whole act of suing
Speaker 1: this person just seems.
Speaker 2: Yea suing fans. It's reminiscent of going back to Napster
Speaker 2: and all of those things. It's hard to have a
Speaker 2: beef with your audience. Even though you're in the right,
Speaker 2: there's still your fans, and that person did something probably
Speaker 2: because they're a fan, usually not always. Sometimes they're trying
Speaker 2: to monetize some things, and there's some nefarious bullshit going
Speaker 2: on there, But ultimately it's hard to pick a fight
Speaker 2: with a band.
Speaker 1: No Madonna brought out Kylie Minogue. I heard Los Angeles
Speaker 1: show and they sang I will Survive Together and a
Speaker 1: little bit of can't get You out of My Head
Speaker 1: and it made Old Gaze everywhere very happy. But then,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned afterwards, Madonna shared the most filtered, photoshopped
Speaker 1: like painting version of a photo of the two of them.
Speaker 2: Oh my Jesus, I saw a clip of Madonna.
Speaker 1: She oh, I was going to get to that one.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 1: Same show. Then at the same concert, Madonna saw that
Speaker 1: somebody was not standing. Is that what you're talking about?
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no. This was about a song. Oh,
Speaker 2: we'll get to it.
Speaker 1: At the same concert, Madonna saw a guy or a woman,
Speaker 1: a person that was at the show not standing and
Speaker 1: put them on blast, like why aren't you standing?
Speaker 2: Stand up?
Speaker 1: And then it turns out that person was in a wheelchair.
Speaker 2: There'll be an asshole, Madonna. There's your little lesson for
Speaker 2: the day.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: I saw her performing Burning Up and she's one of
Speaker 2: the best.
Speaker 1: She actually I think wrote that song by herself. Actually
Speaker 1: giving her credit as a songwriter, she said.
Speaker 2: It's the first song she wrote on the guitar, and
Speaker 2: I was like, I kind of recall Madonna in the
Speaker 2: middle of her career learning how to play guitar, because
Speaker 2: I remember her fumbling through it and trying to get
Speaker 2: some songs or some things going. But she said that
Speaker 2: she learned or played that and then did a version
Speaker 2: of you know, Burning Up on the guitar, which wasn't
Speaker 2: that great, to be honest with you. But I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't recall Madonna knowing how to play guitar in
Speaker 2: you know, nineteen eighty three Madonna.
Speaker 1: I told you, without you even telling me, that she
Speaker 1: wrote that song by herself.
Speaker 2: I totally believe she did.
Speaker 1: Maybe she wrote it without knowing how to play the guitar.
Speaker 1: I mean she like plucked some core. I don't fucking know.
Speaker 2: Well, she was talking about how she performed it at
Speaker 2: CBGB's and I'm like, you were at CBGB's with a
Speaker 2: guitar performing, Like I want that footage, give me that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't believe it exists. That's the point. Like,
Speaker 2: I believe she probably played CEB's or cb next door
Speaker 2: or whatever, but I don't know. The whole thing was
Speaker 2: like either, I just learned something new or I just
Speaker 2: fucking picked up on some bullshit. One of the two
Speaker 2: just happened.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, speaking of music related news, Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: has wrapped up her latest leg of The Era's tour
Speaker 1: and now she has two months off to enjoy being
Speaker 1: with her boyfriend before things resume again. In May, Travis
Speaker 1: was in Singapore. They went on a date. It was
Speaker 1: fun times and also dumb.
Speaker 3: People were criticizing Travis Kelsey because footage went viral of
Speaker 3: him texting during the show.
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to like texts during the show. You've
Speaker 1: already seen the show like a dozen times or something.
Speaker 2: There's my response. So she didn't text once at a
Speaker 2: football game? Yeah, well there's not one time she got
Speaker 2: on her phone and text somebody because I saw a
Speaker 2: ton of pictures. Nobody criticized her for that.
Speaker 1: You saw her texting people during the football game. Ei.
Speaker 2: There was a picture of her on the phone with
Speaker 2: I think Ice Spice. They're like looking at something. The
Speaker 2: whole thing is just silly. He's seen the show. Now,
Speaker 2: if it was during Karma and you knew that part
Speaker 2: was coming up and he was on his phone, Okay,
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit of a different story. But everybody
Speaker 2: picks up their phone at a concert at some point
Speaker 2: in either texts or uploads a picture does something.
Speaker 1: No, he was vibing along to that Karma moment. He
Speaker 1: was waiting for it.
Speaker 2: He's waiting for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some quick movie news. Dakota Johnson says she was
Speaker 1: not surprised that Madame Webb flopped because she thinks films
Speaker 1: should not be made by committee, and that one was
Speaker 1: also allegedly, she and Chris Martin are finally engaged after
Speaker 1: six plus years of dating. So congrats to them.
Speaker 2: I saw it this morning that it's actually they've been
Speaker 2: engaged for quite some time and it just now, oh
Speaker 2: all right, grew wings the story. So I don't know
Speaker 2: what they believe. I don't carry their way. Good luck
Speaker 2: to both of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, congrats to them. Also over in the U. Back
Speaker 1: to the UK, we're transcontinental today. JK Rowling had the
Speaker 1: police called on her, and then I did some research
Speaker 1: because this seems so dumb. You know, we take a
Speaker 1: lot of things for granted in the United States, like
Speaker 1: freedom of speech. There is way less freedom of speech
Speaker 1: in the UK. So in the UK, this is what
Speaker 1: the law is. Quote expressions of hatred towards someone on
Speaker 1: account of that person's color, race, sex, disability, nationality, ethnic
Speaker 1: or national orige and blah blah blah or sexual orientation
Speaker 1: is forbidden. That's just what it says. So that's really
Speaker 1: open to interpretation. And the penalties for hate speech include fines, imprisonment,
Speaker 1: or both. So it seems that the courts there like
Speaker 1: are the ones to determine all this bullshit. And JK
Speaker 1: Rowling has quite well documented, been very vocal in some
Speaker 1: beliefs that many perceived to be as anti trans And
Speaker 1: this one trans TV presenter called the police on JK
Speaker 1: Rowling cousin. I know, like that just seems so dumb
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 2: Ugh.
Speaker 1: Also, Bethany Frankel was being slammed for her tips on
Speaker 1: how to stay thin. She's, you know that expression, take
Speaker 1: a bite of everything, but don't eat till you're full,
Speaker 1: promoting eating disorders.
Speaker 2: I got a feeling that woman could have Thanksgiving dinner
Speaker 2: for every meal and she'd look exactly the same. Some
Speaker 2: people are just built the way they're built.
Speaker 3: Well, no, she's like, don't eat till you're full, Like,
Speaker 3: who's the fucking what kind of bullshit? I want to
Speaker 3: eat clumb full like I don't want to be hungry
Speaker 3: every day like no wonder that explains a lot about her.
Speaker 1: If you're hungry every fucking like, now, oh, just eat
Speaker 1: healthy in twenty seconds. The secret is this, people are
Speaker 1: a lot of people aren't willing to put in the work.
Speaker 1: You have to work out six days a week.
Speaker 2: You don't have to work out at all, yes you do.
Speaker 1: You have to be active.
Speaker 2: Not to be thin, you don't. To be healthy is
Speaker 2: very simple. Use more calories than you put in. We're done,
Speaker 2: one sentence book. That's how you become thing.
Speaker 1: If you want to be healthy, thin isn't necessarily healthy. Anyways,
Speaker 1: the Traders wrapped up. The latest season was.
Speaker 2: So good, such a good finale.
Speaker 1: Congrats to the winners. Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't give their names because people want to watch it.
Speaker 2: But they did a great job. They had a after
Speaker 2: the season kind of thing where they all sat around
Speaker 2: and talked about it and it was feisty to say
Speaker 2: the least, but really good. I like that show.
Speaker 3: All right, one last story, but before we get to that,
Speaker 3: thank you to some new Patreon supporters. Christina Jextra Evanna Heckel,
Speaker 3: Suzanne Collins, Addiana Moreno, Caroline Quist, Norma Morin, Lisa Annello McGowan,
Speaker 3: Casey Pritchard. Oh and also Terry and Brandon Pigeon and
Speaker 3: Paige Sundra. Okay, yeah, I already read those.
Speaker 1: Thank you all. Appreciate you Patreon dot com slash Perez
Speaker 1: Hilton if you want to get more of us. And finally,
Speaker 1: I really have to applaud our bipartisan leadership in the
Speaker 1: US House. Republicans and Democrats have come together to unanimously
Speaker 1: pass a House bill to ban TikTok. I hope that
Speaker 1: that becomes the law it needs to. We really need
Speaker 1: this to keep the US safercing videos are invading. It's
Speaker 1: Chinese owned and controlled, and they are there are enemy China, Enemy.
Speaker 4: Jersey. I've given it a couple of weeks. You're trying
Speaker 4: to rename the podcast. I'm agreeing with Booker that you
Speaker 4: kind of need to have your name in it, Pres,
Speaker 4: But I just thought of an idea.
Speaker 2: You should call it blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: Because Pres, you say that all the time. It reminds
Speaker 4: me of Seinfeld.
Speaker 3: The YadA YadA YadA, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: It's kind of funny is a name. I'll be honest
Speaker 2: with you, I don't hate it.
Speaker 1: I don't love that one.
Speaker 2: Oh and by the way, yeah, if you're a new listener,
Speaker 2: if you just happen to be, we've been talking about
Speaker 2: changing the name of the show. We've had more conversation
Speaker 2: about it on our Patreon, but we're not getting anywhere.
Speaker 4: Here we go, Hey, guys, Sophie from Chicago here Patreon supporter.
Speaker 4: So I really love the show and I just wanted
Speaker 4: to call because I agree that the last Patreon episode
Speaker 4: about Bravo was by far the best episode I think
Speaker 4: you guys have ever made. And I've been listening since
Speaker 4: the show started. And then I wanted to say just
Speaker 4: two quick things as well. One, I listened to the
Speaker 4: Miley Cyrus song, hoping that it was quote unquote a
Speaker 4: smashly pro said, and it sucks. He's got the voice
Speaker 4: I think in the industry, and I'm dying for her
Speaker 4: to make a good solid like rock Cebe Nicks five.
Speaker 1: She did do that, I don't get it.
Speaker 4: And Two, cherez, I want to know do any of
Speaker 4: your gays have any pea on JBN and the Queer
Speaker 4: Eye cast.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I loved the Karamo from Queer. I
Speaker 1: was one of the hosts of the Vanity Affair party
Speaker 1: in Vegas last night, and I still wanted to ask
Speaker 1: him about it. But that was the first time I
Speaker 1: met him, and I didn't want to come on too aggressive. Okay,
Speaker 1: if I had met him before, I would have been like, girl,
Speaker 1: spill the tea, tell me. But I showed restraint, which
Speaker 1: is unusual for me.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But then it was so much fun the party.
Speaker 1: Lonnie Love was the host and Karama was the co host.
Speaker 1: And Lonnie called me up on stage, not stage, but
Speaker 1: like you know, there's like the viewing area right in
Speaker 1: front of the big screen. She's like, what's the tea?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, do you really want to go there?
Speaker 2: Lonnie?
Speaker 3: She's like, yeah, tell me what's the tea. I'm like, well,
Speaker 3: let's bring Karamo up. And then I tried to get
Speaker 3: and the Karamo did not come up. That's a good move,
Speaker 3: though I know I had permission. Lonnie opened the door
Speaker 3: and Camo did not walk through it.
Speaker 2: I did a thing with her once of like Access
Speaker 2: Hollywood or one of those shows she's fin I love her.
Speaker 1: I love her. I was on the reel a bunch
Speaker 1: of times and unfortunately that show got canceled. But she's
Speaker 1: she's so good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hello, my name is David.
Speaker 4: I'm from Texas and I'm calling because.
Speaker 3: Of the comments Booker made about teaching and social media
Speaker 3: posts and even only fans. The fact of the matter is.
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, I should add that I love
Speaker 1: the podcast.
Speaker 4: You are like my number.
Speaker 3: One podcast and having you on Patreon is a dream coach.
Speaker 2: Love it.
Speaker 3: You guys do a great job and I look forward
Speaker 3: to both your podcasts every week. I'm a Patreon Anyhow,
Speaker 3: the thing about the teaching thing.
Speaker 2: Oh hey, cut off. It did what I was so
Speaker 2: ready to hear his point of view.
Speaker 1: Well, that was still a great call.
Speaker 2: Thanks, what a great call. Hold on, let me just
Speaker 2: make sure that the next call is in him.
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Madison. Well let's end that one.
Speaker 2: You don't want to hear Madison from Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: That last one was such a good positive way to end.
Speaker 2: All right, I'll keep this call. We'll start with that
Speaker 2: next on the Patriots.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you everybody for listening, for going
Speaker 1: and rating and commenting on Apple podcasts, and hopefully we'll
Speaker 1: see some of you on Patreon on Thursday.
Speaker 2: Have a great week to take care
