To this day, hopeless romantics fantasize about The Notebook’s Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams reuniting. But are the stars of Nicholas Sparks’ best movie anything like their characters?

Lana Del Rey is known for writing heart-wrenching, yearning, tortured songs about love. So who is inspiring these melancholy tunes?? If you go back to Lana’s “Born to Die” and “Ultraviolence” days, she was with the Scottish musician Barrie-James O’Neill for three years.

Lana and Barrie were like a modern-day Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, making songs and homemade music videos together. And the darkness Lana saw in herself, she saw in Barrie too. But eventually it became too dark for even her, and she blindsided Barrie at the end of their relationship. 

Kel and Mel have been fans of Lana for YEARS (even made a homemade “Dark Paradise” video back in high school). Let us take you through Lana’s song catalog as we reminisce on her “Living Legend” Barrie.

This week, we're telling a love story that starts with an ice cream date in Chicago and leads to the White House in D.C. It's none other than Barack and Michelle Obama.

From the outside, the Obamas' 30 year marriage looks picture perfect. But Michelle has repeatedly shared that “there were 10 years I couldn’t stand my husband.” 10 years—that’s quite a long rough patch! But with hard work and determination, the 44th President and First Lady made it through to the other side. Here's how they did it.

We’re headed to India to investigate a scandalous case of “did-they-didn’t-they” between then-rising star, Priyanka Chopra, and married “King of Bollywood,” Shah Rukh Khan. After getting close filming Don and Don 2, tabloids and message boards got VERY suspicious that something was going on between SRK and PeeCee. We analyze the juicy evidence of their alleged affair, which many believe led to Priyanka’s ostracization from Bollywood. We talk power dynamics, double standards, and ask ourselves what level of intimacy permits putting your hand in someone’s pocket?

It’s an episode of American royalty—the captivating and tragic relationship of John F. Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette. He was an all-American golden boy who charmed everyone he met, and she was a mysterious it-girl, not intimidated by anyone. As public obsession mounted, the fairytale crumbled under pressure. He was was reckless. She was a recluse. Between alleged affairs and family drama, we discuss first-hand accounts of their turbulent story, which ended tragically far too soon.

Did you know that the host of Survivor, Jeff Probst, dated a contestant back in 2004? During season 9 on the islands of Vanuatu, Jeff fell for the Survivor player Julie Berry, a 24-year old from Maine. Jeff emailed Julie after the season ended, and the two enjoyed a “love affair” that lasted four years. 

We’re joined by Kel’s sister Shannon, a Survivor expert, to look back at the early seasons of the show, recall Jeff’s iconic catchphrases, and tell the unusual story of Jeff & Julie.

We’re joined by the fabulous Shannon McNamara of the FluentlyForward podcast to discuss Katy Perry & John Mayer’s on-and-off relationship! John’s become a recurring character on the podcast (for whatever reason) and we want to know: he may have been a playboy, but was his love for Katy real? It sure seemed that way when he wrote songs like “I Still Feel Like Your Man” after their breakup. Shannon provides the blind items as we follow this bumpy relationship from 2012 to 2016. After learning more about them, Katy’s song “Never Really Over” has never been more true!
