Royals: Minutes 2.5 to 8
In this episode of Gossip with Celebitchy, we talk about the rumors that Duchess Meghan already had the baby, which convinced me for a little while. Then we got reports from Buckingham Palace that the baby had not been born yet. We talked about hoping they release the baby’s name soon, unlike when Kate and William had Louis and didn’t announce it for five days. Plus we talked about a story we didn’t cover on the site, The Sussex Royal Instagram unfollowing everyone except mental health accounts. We wonder if we’re going to have to update the podcast with baby news but obviously we didn’t have to!

Game of Thrones: Minutes 8 to 15
The Long Night, episode 3 of this last Game of Thrones season, was the first episode I’d watched live in five years. Chandra recommended two better battle episodes for me to watch, Hardhome and The Battle of The Bastards. We also talked about the very dark cinematography which had so many viewers complaining and the cinematographer getting quite defensive about it.

Taylor Swift: Minutes 15 to 20
We talk about what a regression ME! is for Taylor Swift’s look and sound. We both love the video where she falls in love with a little ragdoll kitchen and realizes its for adoption. We also discussed the controversy over Taylor Swift using a drumline in her Billboard Music Awards Performance which was evocative of Beyonce’s performance at Coachella.

Helena Christensen and our boobs: Minutes 20 to 23.5
Former British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman wrote a horrible critique of Helena Christensen’s fashion using Helena’s age and body type. We discussed how ageist this is and talk about whether we’d wear bustiers as outerwear. We also both wanted to know what it’s like to have each other’s boob type.

Oprah’s fabulous interview: Minutes 23.5 to to 25.5
Chandra loved Oprah’s interview with The Hollywood Reporter and was fascinated by Oprah’s thoughts and how she’s grown. We talk about the sexism Oprah experienced at 60 Minutes and why she left CBS. We laugh about Oprah shooting down Beto O’Rourke’s Presidential run.

Anjelica Huston’s batsh-t interview: Minutes 25.5 to 30
Anjelica Huston, 67, gave an awful interview to Vulture where she trashed Penny Marshall and Carrie Fisher for doing drugs, defended Roman Polanski and pretty much said that statutory rape was ok in Europe when she was growing up so it’s no big deal. Chandra knew about Anjelica’s terrible childhood and how she might have ended up this way, although she doesn’t get a pass.

Ghost stories with Hecate: Minutes 30 to 43
When Hecate/Kat covered Sting’s ghost story she shared one of her own stories, opening a fascinating and chilling discussion in the comments. I talk to her about some of her experiences and they scare me so much. She grew up with a Baptist ghost and has another creepy story about a little girl haunting her family’s cabin.

Talk with my mom: Minutes 43 to 48
When I talked to Hecate I remembered an incident from my childhood. I called my mom to see if she remembered it and her answer surprised and moved me.

The blind item from last week and user feedback: Minutes 48 to 52.5
We talk about the blind item from last week about a 90s icon Chandra spoke to and whether anyone got it right in the comments. We got really nice feedback about our Amazon posts and our Royals coverage. Thanks to everyone on Twitter who retweets and likes our podcast posts!

Comments of The Week: Minutes 52.5 to 55
My comment of the week is from Hanahk on the Game of Thrones is too dark story. Chandra’s comment of the week is from GenericUserName123 on the Taylor Swift cat adoption story.

Royals: Minutes 2.5 to 11
In this episode of Gossip with Celebitchy, we talk about Duchess Meghan’s impending birth, which hasn’t happened yet as of this morning, 4/29. I mention that Meghan may have had the baby already and not announced it but Chandra said that couldn’t happen or royal reporters would throw a fit! We mention the crazy story that Harry and Meghan would move overseas, which originated in the reputable Sunday Times of London. Sources told The Sunday Times it was William’s idea as Harry and Meghan were getting too much attention. Follow-up stories next claimed it was Harry’s idea! Then Vanity Fair told the Sussex’s side that they were staying in the UK and were not consulting with any family member except The Queen and Prince Charles. We wonder about this notion that William is preparing to king when his father is next in line. 

Olivia Munn: Minutes 11 to 18
Olivia Munn posted a bizarre rant against Heather and Jessica of The Fug Girls, using their photos, names, and mischaracterizing their lighthearted fashion commentary. We talk about her hypocrisy and make a decision about our future coverage of her.

Game of Thrones spoiler free: Minutes 18 to 20.5
We cover the excitement over Game of Thrones. Chandra says that the fan theories are getting out of control. She explains the way that White Walkers are made as I was unclear about this.

Celebrity splits: Minutes 20.5 to 25.5
We discuss three recent celebrity splits: Adele and Simon Konecki, Anna Camp and Skylar Astin and Michelle Williams and the guy we barely heard about, Phil Elverum. Chandra loves Fossey Verdon and mentions that Michelle has crazy chemistry with Sam Rockwell.

User questions including blind items: Minutes 25.5 to 31.5
Pamela and Caity asked us on Twitter about whether we get sent tips, particularly by publicists. We talk about a tip we got in 2010 from a woman who claims her friend slept with John Mayer! I read an excerpt from that email at minute 27. Chandra loves promo emails from designers and jewelry companies. Chandra spoke to a 90s icon several years ago from whom she got some blind items about another celebrity that person hates.

Comments of the week: Minutes 31.5 to end
My comment of the week was from BchyYogi about Jennifer Garner’s shoes. Chandra’s comment of the week was a matter-of-fact one about white privilege from ByTheSea on a Lori Loughlin post. We talk about white privilege and how trolls call us racist against white people. That’s not a thing!

In this week’s Gossip with Celebitchy podcast we talked about how awesome Game of Thrones is and how cinematic, epic and yet funny it can be. This is a spoiler free talk after I watched the premiere of season eight, which was the first time I’ve seen an episode in five years! I get why everyone loves it as there’s so much to unpack and it’s so entertaining. We also talked about Lori Loughlin continuing to play the clueless white privileged victim with her various leaks to the press and her cover of People Magazine. It really looks like she’s throwing her husband Mossimo Giannulli under the bus and like they’re all about to turn on each other. In our royal stories we discuss the wait for Meghan to give birth and the maybe-fake story that she’s planning to hire an American nanny and/or a male nanny. We also talk about the weird Vanity Fair story about William working out with the mums from Prince George’s school after the morning drop off. You can listen below!

We also discuss Kim Kardashian studying for the bar and how she’s getting criticism for it. We think she just may pass, even if it’s not the first time. We also make fun of her ridiculous bathroom especially the concrete sink with the tiny slit which Kanye designed. Finally we talk about Jason Momoa shaving his beard and whether we like him shaved or with a beard. There was some debate about just how to pronounce his name and it turns out neither of us was right! I talked to four of my friends at a party and we all agreed that we wouldn’t kick him out of bed either way. Most of us liked him better shaved. (Sorry Rebecca!)

Our user feedback was from Just Mooya on Twitter and Dog Obsessed Girl, who sent us a photo of her beautiful coonhound with a golden retriever puppy friend.

Our comments of the week were on the posts about Will’s wandering scepter, Jana Kramer’s husband’s wandering scepter and Lori Loughlin’s idiocy.

We start off discussing how dumb Lori Loughlin has been for playing the churchy victim and not accepting a plea deal in Operation Varsity Blues. This is in definite contrast to Felicity Huffman’s much better move of accepting a deal, issuing a statement of guilt and accepting responsibility. We talked about Prince William and Prince Harry's feud covering People, which glossed over the story. Prince William threatened British outlets in the wake of the rumor that he was having an affair with their neighbor and Kate’s maybe-former friend, Rose Hanbury. That may have kept British outlets quiet, but William’s heavy handed approach has people thinking there’s something to that story. We also discussed the crazy criticism of Duchess Meghan for daring to choose her own doctors and wanting to keep the birth of her baby private. We were both of course sympathetic to her as everyone has the right to choose their own doctors. I mentioned that I fired my doctors the week I was due to give birth! (I made a controversial statement about birth outcomes being better in non-hospital settings. This is technically true according to some studies, but I do not want to emphasize that point at all and I agree with Chandra that every woman should make the best choice for her.) We also swoon over Jude Law in a tiny speedo on the set of The New Pope. Chandra and I agree that he’s a beautiful man although I had some arguably rude things to say. 

Instead of a user question this week, we talk about our Twitter friends and some of the great feedback we’ve received. Thank you so much for your support and kind words! We wanted to thank Shannon for fangirling over me following her on Twitter, Francesca also left a nice comment that she’s been checking us every day for years and LaUnica Angelica has been so supportive of us and we appreciate that. Also OandLoMom, Melly and Kathy Benjamin are some of our other Twitter friends. Oh and I forgot to mention Joslynn who also listens to the podcast!

Our comments of the week were all on Lori Loughlin posts!

We’re back after an emergency week off as I dealt with complications from a minor medical procedure. We start off by talking about the Tatler story trashing Duchess Meghan and the fact that the Sussex Royal Instagram launch was wildly popular. We discuss the rumored affair between Prince William and Rose Hanbury, the Duchess of Cholmondeley. 

As that story was being largely ignored by the British press, more nitpicking stories came out about Duchess Meghan, who is due with her first baby any day now. Sources claimed that Meghan had asked Prince Charles whether wearing a tiara would be appropriate during her trip to New Zealand with Prince Harry, which seemed perfectly reasonable to us. The only story which we thought was legitimate is that Meghan has spent too much on clothing.

We talked about Joe Biden being inappropriate and handsy with women. It was too familiar to us as women and we talked about how we’ve become accustomed to being pawed and touched. Biden’s non-apology was inadequate and shows he still lacks awareness of what he’s done.

Our favorite story this week was Nicolas Cage’s quickie Vegas marriage to a sketchy makeup artist. His annulment request cited fraud as the woman was in a relationship and had a DUI she didn’t disclose. We called it a gold digger fail after Cage’s assets were depleted after he failed to pay taxes in 2009. I remembered a crazy profile of Cage in The Daily Beast which detailed his insane parties and unbelievable lifestyle.

Chandra/Kaiser discussed what’s coming up for Game of Thrones. She wants to see Cersei killed in the Battle of Winterfell and everyone is hoping Arya survives. It’s hard to tell what’s coming based on the teasers which have come out, and it’s clear that the actors really want to tell spoilers.

Finally we talked about Us. I saw and loved it and have a spoiler-free review. It did incredibly at the box office and was somehow Lupita Nyong’o's first starring role after she won the Oscar for 2013′s 12 Years a Slave. We agree that Jordan Peele should continue to make movies starring people of color and make fun of the people crying reverse racism.

Our user question was from Bluesky about how we cover breaking news! Our comments of the week were from Valiantly Varnished on feminists’ favorite Chris and Skylark on the origin of the rural rivalry between Duchesses Kate and Rose.

We tried something new this week! We talked about three stories we deliberately didn’t cover! We start off with Operation Varsity Blues and how Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman are covering US Magazine. We talk about Elizabeth Holmes the Theranos scammer’s deep voice and how it’s probably an affectation and code switching.  We call it a bit sexist to focus on her voice and appearance when so many men do the same thing. Chandra is also watching Billions on Showtime and she talked about how great it is. 

We cover the teaser trailer for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and say it looks like a campy fun film set in 70s Hollywood, but also like it’s using the Manson family murders and Bruce Lee to add interest. We talk about the royals and the controversy over the fashion brands which Kate and Meghan are wearing. Finally we cover Lena Dunham’s cringey essay for Vogue, which we definitely didn’t talk about on the site. It’s a long self-indulgent mess in which she requests some kind of unspecified light S&M from a sketchy guy.  

Our user question is about the type of people we think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will end up dating (we get a bit racy in that part). We have three comments of the week this week!

This week Chandra and I talked just a day after I had a minor medical procedure. I was on painkillers and sound a little wacky in parts.

We talked about Operation Varsity Blues and how Laurie Loughlin and Felicity Huffman scammed to get their children into college. We also discussed Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez’s engagement, her giant engagement ring and how she claimed to be completely unaware that Alex was going to propose. We talked about Jose Canseco claiming that Alex was cheating with his ex wife, Jessica, which Jessica denied. There were even rumors that he was cheating on his ex wife, Cynthia, with Madonna.

We discussed Duchess Meghan ruining a cute outfit with a nurse’s hat and how she’s trying to get ahead of her toxic family with stories that she’ll contact them after the baby is born. 

We talked about Beto O’Rourke covering Vanity Fair and looking like a handsome rancher, and how it’s disappointing that he’s getting so much attention. We’ll definitely vote for the Democratic candidate whoever that is. 

I saw Captain Marvel and while I didn’t love it I did adore the ginger cat Goose. I think more movies and shows should feature pets as supporting characters.

We talk about the sad loss of Luke Perry, what a good guy he was and what he meant to us as a generation. We also discuss Alex Trebek revealing his cancer diagnosis. We laugh about Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson making out courtside at a Ranger’s game and come to the conclusion that they’re suited for each other.  

Chandra explains the new Game of Thrones trailer and what that means for the upcoming season. (There are some spoilers for past seasons of Game of Thrones if you’d like to avoid those.) We cover the royals, including appearances by Duchesses Meghan and Kate and Kate’s very frumpy custom-made dress. We discuss Kim Kardashian’s hideous leopard head to toe looks in Paris, Taylor Swift’s essay for Elle Magazine, and Gwyneth Paltrow taking credit for popularizing the gluten free diet. Chandra and I also talk about how long it took for stories about Michael Jackson and R. Kelly to reach critical mass.

I also talk to Hecate/Kat for the first time! We discuss the first episode of Leaving Neverland in general terms (we don’t cover the specific abuse) and about her decision to stop listening to Jackson’s music. She also reveals the origin of her pen name. Chandra explains how she came up with the name Kaiser and I talk about how I started Celebitchy.

We had three comments of the week this week. JadedBrit opened up in the Khloe Kardashian post about how invaluable the CB community has been to her as an abuse survivor. Swack wondered how long you could last inside Gwyneth Paltrow’s head. And lucy thanked the dragon god for bringing back Gendry to Game of Thrones.

We were so excited to catch up after we missed our talk last week to cover the Oscars. We discuss The Oscars and how we were scrambling to cover them live after upsets for Best Actress and Best Picture. We also cover the surprisingly biggest story to come out of the Oscars: Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s supposed chemistry and how Irina Shayk, Bradley’s partner, should be jealous. We crack up about Miranda Lambert’s messy marriage to a NYC cop she’s known all of three months who was living with his pregnant mistress when he met her. We also cover recent royal appearances, including Meghan and Harry’s trip to Morocco and Kate and William’s trip to Northern Ireland. Plus Meghan and Kate covered both People and Us Magazine this week. We analyze Jordyn Woods’ appearance on Red Table Talk and whether we think she’s telling the truth. We also talk about Khloe Kardashian’s history of taking back cheating men and blaming the other woman.

In our section answering user questions, I own up to three stories I’ve gotten massively wrong. 

We pick three comments of the week this week!
