David Yontef of Behind the Velvet Rope interviews everyone from drunken reality stars to legendary A-listers and all the while he has the the Vogues, the Vanity Fairs and the like shaking in fear. David has the balls to give controversial guests a platform to air out their unpopular opinions and... wait for it.... doesn't censor or argue with them. THE HORROR!!!!!!! Today he tells his side. (Thoughts and prayers can be made to his DMs, ty.)
What is "it" you ask? Our brains, thanks to the media and its audacity, celebs on their bullshit, contradicting information, Whoopi Goldberg, and the loss of Hollywood's one true gem. Honestly, can you blame us?
What the recent events around AOC, Candace Owens, and Betty White say about this entitled generation's views of sex, each other... and, but of course, themselves.
End of 2021 PT 3: From sending women's rights off the Titanic, to Vogue's woke outrage about Pam & Tommy, the ever-changing dictionary, to celeb politicians, nothing has or will make sense. But god damn it, we're going to try our best.
Like Clark Griswold's jelly of the month club, my red carpet interviews prove to be the gift that keeps on giving. In the Cancel Me, Baby! 2021 finale, I'm looking back on hot-button topics I discussed with celebs before they became more explosive than your local Karen. In Part 2, we hit: masculinity (where'd it go doe), physical interaction (metaverse sex, amiright), AND the young star I talked to about labels and boxes who ultimately came out as trans in TIME this year(!!!) Time to rock out with your crystal balls out.
You'd rather off yourself Mr. Big style than attend another ugly sweater Zoom party, and your drunk aunt is about to pester you about your wretched love life. Lucky for you, Christmas came early with this dose of escapism, sanity, nostalgia, and a lil bit of the unhinged. In Part 1 of the Cancel Me, Baby 2021 end-of-year series, I revisit talking with celebs about hot-button topics a bit before their time, when they were yet to be as mainstream, controversial, and divisive as they are today. A self-proclaimed ancestor of Nostradamus himself, topics in Part 1 are: censorship and cancel culture (how real is real?), Me Too (too far gone?), and sexual expression (empowerment or stupidity?). Look out, Miss Cleo (...from the grave). There's a new bitch in town.
PS- I realize I said Spider-Man: Far From Home instead of No Way Home, get over it
You don't have to be a Sex and the City fan to know that this new reboot -- like living in the past -- isn't doing us any good.
I'll show you mine if you show me yours. I'm talking Op-Eds are that too controversial and theories as to why the media sucks... why, what did you think I meant? In this ep, I give an oral reading of my Portnoy/Business Insider/Me Too op-ed that no outlet would take with a preface on behind-the-scenes backstory, an updated timeline, and insight on just how shitty the MSM really is. It's show and tell time, bitches.
Entrepreneur, speaker, and sports exec extraordinaire David Meltzer (host of "The Playbook" podcast and Bloomberg's "Office Hours") is here and yes he's a successful, straight, white man I've given the floor to today for a super interesting conversation SO DEAL WITH IT. And as always, enjoy ;)
Emily Ratajkowski went from feeling empowered to exploited by capitalizing off her sexuality. Bella Hadid seems to have crippling mental health struggles due to the perfect IG feed culture she's helped create. Are modern women just a bunch of masochists?
