Big Diva Energy

Surprise, Divas!

Like, Princes William and Harry we've got a surprise to unveil for you this week. Unfortunately, due to Sasha's commitments based on her show Louisa & Jo (& Me) (tickets here) we have to postpone the second part of Catherine O'Hara. Instead we present another Little Diva Energy.

But never fear, we run the full gamut of Diva News, from Rich's beef with Holly over Jessie J, to Britney's speaking out against the conservatorship, all the way to a diva examination of the concept of whatever "it" is "coming home".

Plus, Madonna.

Quelle surprise.

Salutations Divas,

As some of you will be aware, we have had something of a change in time management capacity and have thusly moved your regular dollop of something *extra* to monthly. We are, in fact, no longer deeting about quants, we are deeting about quals.

That means we have a bumper load of diva news to catch up on, including:

Jessie J's Eurovision potential! Lorde's Primal Sing! And has Sex & The City killed Samantha?

Plus we ask for your worst cases of "Rainbow Capitalism", Overheard Divas and the boys who always deliver, Chris and Rich, bring you coincidences and bitches galore!

*Rises from First Class Seat* DIVAS!

With the vigour of wartime radio operators, we bring you this week's episode, replete with musings and observations from both your customary and established hosts (the conjugal alliance of Morgan and Moores) on a particular favourite of the 80s Canada, 90s America and 00s THE WORLD, DARLINGS - it's Catherine O'Hara.

And accompanying us on our voyage through The Life O'Hara is the impulsive, the capricious, the melodramatic SASHA WILSON (actor, playwright and carnal associate of previous guest, Joe Cullen).

Join your compères as they navigate their way through SCTV, Beetlejuice and Christmas masterpiece, Home Alone, with detours via our ride-or-die unsolved historical mysteries, Holly's continual casting of the production of Carrie the Musical in her head and the true horror of allowing children to perform Oliver!

Plus, more of Tom’s tangential celebrity stories and the introduction of the enigmatic Mr Tekis the Pianist.

Voila, Divas!

It's a massive week in the diva-verse, so welcome to a bumper edition.

Douze points for the Week In Diva. From the tearful (Leigh-Anne's documentary and Gaga's horrific therapy revelations) to the Tea-full (Grande's marriage, Tom accusing Rich of being "cheugy" and diva inductions into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame). Plus much (never too much) more.

Nil points for Justin Timberlake and Blink-182.

AND THEN:

We have, in the latter half, our full opinions on Eurovision 2021, which saw Gay Christmas come ROARING back in full force. Good golly Ms Dolly it was a good one.

Plus, Chris has a coincidence and Rich makes the case for 'El Diablo' being one of the Eurovision greats.

Sure.

Take It, Own It, Love It, Divas

Self-appointed, Art Hysterian, Holly Morgan is here to teach you about ART.

Insightful? Certainly.

Interactive? Definitely.

Perhaps almost too clever? Better believe it.

That's right, divas, this is the episode that critics have called "Ep 35 - Frida Kahlo [with Ryan Lane]". So, hold on to your tote bags, because we're getting deep.

What isn’t quite so clever is the technical difficulties our equipment was having, so huge apologies for some sound issues. Tom tried his best to work it out, but some has slipped through the net.

But to make up for it we've got an absolute treat for you as the gorgeous Ryan Lane (@RyanELane) joins us to journey through the wild and oftentimes extremely sad life of one Frida Kahlo.

Along the way, we talk a lot about tote bags, the endless fabulosity of Jane Fonda and discover Madonna's deeply threatening "art test" she seems to give her sexual partners.

Two books mentioned in the pod are:

-      The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hayley Rubenhold

-      Song of Spider-Man: The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History by Glen Berger

You can order and buy a copy of either (or both!) from @Store104 here

All eyes on me, Divas!

Tom spent the weekend in hospital after removing the top of his strummin' finger, but that's not stopped us from bringing you a little slice of something extra.

It's a big week for Little Mix, so we dissect the 'Confetti' video (you can check out the article featuring @bethsitek here) and discuss the latest Jesy controversy . Plus, news from the Britney camp, the return of @LinziHateley to Joseph, and Holly's thoughts on Madonna's casting in Carrie the Musical.

As always, Chris has a strange coincidence and Rich has...thoughts.

We're born to make you happy, Divas,

And how better to do it than to bring you another solid gold episode about the early life and career of Actress AND Star Ms Britney Jean Spears with none other than our gorgeous pal across the pond, Tim Murray (@TMurray06).

Kicking off with a quick round up of movements in the Britney-verse (the conservatorship vs Drag Race 13's finale) we fire on all cylinders as we race from the deboo album ...Baby, One More Time, all the way up to her third album, Britney, and her first (of many) annus horribilis, at which point we say an Autumn Goodbye to the gorgeous Tim, and with him our Britney episodes...for now.

Along the way, we get sidetracked by Madonna vs Gaga chat, stanning Kim Petras and utterly dragging the Scourge of the Divas himself, Justin fucking Timberlake.

We'll never stop loving you, so return the love by subscribing to Big Diva Energy and you'll never miss a fabulous episode. And please do leave a review to help other Divas find the pod!

Something in your ears, Divas,

Strap in, as she's very Steps-focused this week following a) Holly stepping on a proverbial land mine in our Britney episode and provoking Rich's latest bitch and b) the news that Ancient Claire from Steps will be appearing in The War of the Worlds opposite a hologram of Liam Neeson.

Whilst all this leads to an edifying debate about holograms being a form of diva grave-robbery, we also have time for the Oscars, Holly to give some Queen hate, Tom to invent Lady O'Gaga (the Irish drag queen), and plenty more bashing of Justin "Sourge of the Divas" Timberlake.

Plus Chris has a coincidence and it is wild.

You're so lucky, Divas,

She's finally here.

And we don't just mean comedy icon and Spears stan, Tim Murray (@TMurray06) who we've secured, along with her extensive credits list.

No, we're excited because we've strapped Tim in for the first part of two episodes detailing, what we'd consider, "Phase 1" of Britney "It's Britney, Bitch" Spears.

That's right, we plan on going all the way from 1981's Mississippi Nativity, up to the 2002 masterpiece Britney in this round of episodes.

PHASE. ONE.

This week we only make it as far as '...Oops', the single, but that doesn't stop us running the early gamut of one of the seminal divas; from just-a-small-town-girl to that single, diving into the early years of Ms Spears, taking in the revamped Disney club, the ill-fated group Innosense, and Britney and Natalie Portman's Sliding Doors moment.

Don't worry, because the whole cast of the Spears Circus are here:

• Jamie
• Lynne
• Jamie-Lynne
• Brian

Meanwhile, we introduce the villain of the piece: Justin "Scourge of the Divas" Timberlake and we go into (some might say too much) detail on the Jessica Simpson B-plot that's always running in the background.

Along the way, Holly and Tim stir the transatlantic pot by pitting games against each other in "Actress or Star" vs "Can Sing or Can Sing", the gang pitch Real Housewives of Broadway as an idea that is real and a thing, and they all discuss the very real danger of Patti LuPone being angry at you.

Welcome Divas,

I'm afraid we're all booked up in our outside area until 2029, but we welcome you to take the podcast away and enjoy the freezing, damp park of this week's episode, in which we ply you with the tins of lager, dirty blankets and Karen's homemade sausage rolls of news from the diva-verse.

Have another glass of warm fizz and try to ignore the rain.

In this week's ep, among other things, Holly attempts a new route to becoming Gaga's mate (just get on one of her records!), Glenn Close reignites her infamous conflict with LuPone, and we announce a new feature: Unexpected Diva. Plus much, much more.

We also mourn the tragic passing of Nikki Grahame, a genuine icon who was taken from us far too soon. For those who might need someone to talk to in the wake of her death, our DMs are always open, but also please do consider one of the many charities who provide help to those who need it. We will share some of them on our socials.

Plus, Nikki's friends have reactivated the GoFundMe made in her name, to which you can donate here. The money goes towards helping to pay for the family's funeral costs and the remainder will be donated to charities that help those with eating disorders.

Stay safe out there. We love you all.
