Before I Love Lucy, television was the risky new medium no one was sure about. It was made in New York, 3,000 miles away from Hollywood. And it certainly didn’t feature funny women. But Lucy and Desi changed all that. Today, author and Lucille Ball superfan Darin Strauss breaks down the incredible legacy of Lucille Ball, and tells us why he wanted to blend his family history with hers in his novel The Queen of Tuesday: A Lucille Ball Story.

Listen Now: The Price of Paradise

Kanye West is making headlines...again. The controversial rapper - who now goes by Ye - allegedly got physical late Tuesday night at the infamous Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. According to police, Ye slugged an unidentified man in the face after he “pushed” and “grabbed” Ye’s wife, Bianca Censori. But a rep for the “Flashing Lights” rapper says it was more than just pushing and grabbing - it was more like full-on physical and sexual assault. This isn’t the first time Ye’s been accused of physical violence, but with those other incidents, he didn’t face any criminal charges. But will he this time?
