When Brittany Murphy was experiencing this slump in her career, someone entered her life who would completely destroy it. A few years into this downturn in her career, whenever Brittany Murphy would attend Hollywood events, friends, former colleagues, people in the industry & even her fans became gravely concerned for her for a multitude of reasons, & the thing that concerned everyone most of all was Brittany Murphy’s husband, Simon Monjack, & everyone was right to be concerned.

So today we’re going to be breaking down Brittany Murphy’s stunning career & the terrible turn it took. We’ll also be discussing the two decades of rumors that have swirled about Brittany Murphy’s passing, was it due to illness, consumption, mold, her husband or any other litany of things, and also how all these rumors were super charged when Brittany Murphy's husband passed also in his 30’s in the same house just a few months after she did. THANKS SO MUCH FOR LISTENING LOVES!

Chris Hansen is an extremely nuanced figure, some him as a professional & ethical god that cannot be criticised & others see him as a self obsessed narcissist who only cares about money, fame & himself. This debate is set to explode over the coming weeks & months with the release of a new movie, Primetime starring Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen. Robert Pattinson is set to give an Oscar worthy performance as Chris Hansen in the new a24 movie, Primetime, & many have said Chris Hansen is portrayed as a wild ego driven lunatic. Chris Hansen himself has spoken out a lot about the movie, even though he hasn’t seen it, claiming Primetime lacks authenticity & admonishing the director & creatives behind the film for not reaching out to him. For several months leading up to the films release, Hansen spoke in many interviews & on his own youtube channel about toying with pursuing legal action, although after the films release Chris Hansen has said he is no longer likely to pursue a lawsuit. Of course given the fact that the film is about Chris Hansen, he’d be expected to give his opinion on it. But given how much he’s speaking about it & the amount of content he’s making about it, many people have speculated he doesn’t dislike this movie as much as he claims to.

Elizabeth Holmes thinks she can convince people she wasn’t lying… & I’m worried it’s going to work. Elizabeth Holmes is currently serving an eleven year prison sentence in Texas after she was convicted for three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in relation to her company Theranos. Although the wire fraud was in relation to half a billion dollars, whistleblowers & journalists who exposed Elizabeth Holmes were always more concerned about the millions of patients who’s health & lives Elizabeth Holmes was gambling with so she could continue to enrich herself. Elizabeth Holmes didn’t care who she hurt, just wanted to keep the hundreds of millions of other peoples money flowing into Theranos to fund her lavish lifestyle of mansions, private jets & the best of everything.

Super Size Me is one of the most popular documentaries of all time, but what most people don't know, is that it's all a lie. In 2004 an Oscar nominated documentary was released that went onto have incredible impact, especially for kids & teens across America. But what many people don’t know is that everything about the documentary was a lie. For thirty days from Feb 1 2003 to March 2, Morgan Spurlock claimed he consumed nothing but McDonald’s food. Spurlock visited three different doctors to get baseline results & visited them again after consuming nothing but McDonalds for breakfast, lunch & dinner for a month straight. The results were absolutely startling, the doctors were so surprised, with all of them saying they had never seen anything like these results ever before. The doctors said it was shocking that this amount of damage could be done in just a month, but what the doctors didn’t know is that a lot of information was being hidden from them along with the hundreds of millions of people who watched Super Size Me, & barely anyone knows the real story of Super Size Me. So today we’ll be discussing not only how one of the most famous documentaries of all time was built on a lie, but also looking at the man behind the documentary, Morgan Spurlock & the other awful things he was hiding. Thank you so much for watching loves!

Neil Patrick Harris has been a fixture on television since the late 1980's & has become incredibly famous for his versatility as an actor & Broadway performer, & also for the characters he plays like Barney Stinson from How I Met Your mother & Doogie Howser. Neil Patrick Harris started as a successful child actor on television & made the difficult leap in adult roles. He took his child stardom & his roles in made for tv movie roles in his late teens and early 20’s & managed to use those roles as a springboard into a successful & wide ranging career in Hollywood, not just as an actor, but also as a Tony Award-winning Broadway performer, host of the Oscars, the Emmys and the Tonys, and he also eventually built an image around being the charming, talented, seemingly wholesome Hollywood family man with the coolest halloween parties.  But underneath that carefully constructed image is a very different history of controversies, questionable jokes and moments that have aged very badly. Some of them were relatively minor incidents that disappeared almost immediately, but there are certain others controversies that have resurfaced more recently that caused people to see Neil Patrick Harris in a totally different light. And when you hear about one story in particular, I don’t think you’ll be able to see him in the same way ever again.

Elisabeth Moss is one of the most successful & well respected television actresses working in Hollywood today, but there’s something absolutely wild that most people don’t know about her. From Mad Men to The Handmaid’s Tale, Moss has spent her career portraying women trapped inside oppressive systems, all the while being deeply inside one of the world’s most infamous oppressive & alleged cults, the church of Scientology. Elisabeth Moss was born into the controversial church, & while most people don’t even know Elisabeth Moss is a member, many others think Elisabeth Moss is not really involved anymore or that she’s a very casual member, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Not only is Elisabeth Moss a deeply dedicated & devoted member who reached the status of clear at only 11 years old & is front & centre with John Travolta, Tom Cruise & the other high ranking celebrities at Scientology’s most important events, but high ranking ex-Scientologists have said there are many signs that MOSS is being groomed to take an important central role in the church & become THE face of celebrities in Scientology. Scientology has taken many hits in recent years, losing the vast majority of its most well known celebrities, many celebrities have left, several have passed away & others have been imprisoned for their horrendous crimes, crimes that Scientology was allegedly deeply saturated in. So let’s jump into discussing Elisabeth Moss, her career, her extreme devotion to church & how she & her most famous roles are the perfect promotion for the alleged cult of Scientology. Thank you so much for watching!
