Glamorous Trash - Cookies Only

In this subscriber-only episode, Chelsea and Corporate Gossip host Becca Platsky dive deep into the wild world of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Cheryl Hines and her memoir “Unscripted.” They bravely journey through her stories about baby boy directors in Hollywood, her brainworm-infused romance with RFK Jr., his “digital affair” with journalist Olivia Nuzzi, and how fun it is to “set politics aside” and go skiing!

Chelsea and Tocarra break down the super viral Vogue article “Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” by Chante Joseph. They delve into why some women are hiding their boyfriends on social media, how new romances feel like brand launches now, and what this cultural moment reveals about performative love in the digital age. 

Chelsea is joined by Cinemile host Cathy Cullen, cookie correspondent Caitie Rosen, and producer Kristina to break down Lily Allen’s memoir “My Thoughts Exactly” and parse through the contradictions, confessions, and HOT TEA on her viral album "West End Girl." They unpack Lily’s unfiltered writing about her marriage to “Stranger Things” star David Harbour, the Architectural Digest videos, the open-marriage-to-divorce pipeline, the "Pussy Palace" mojo dojo casa house, the Zoe Kravitz of it all, and a memoir vs a memoir in music.

Get your 32 oz of decaf soda and grab some gas station nachos -- we’re headed back to Utah! Chelsea is joined by Bad on Paper co-host Olivia Muenter to recap the memoir of “Sister Wives” star Christine Brown Woolley. They dive into Christine’s Mormon polygamy-royalty upbringing,​​ the sad man Kody Brown, and how a bucket of chicken just may be a sign from God.
