Heather Locklear, Jillian Barberie and Nurse Melanie Mancil are back — and this conversation goes places.
After talking about the wild internet rumors, fake celebrity photos and AI-generated stories that are becoming almost impossible to separate from reality, the ladies get surprisingly candid about what being famous actually feels like.
Heather looks back at the height of her fame in the ’80s and ’90s, Jillian remembers watching Kardashian-level celebrity change the game, and Melanie wants to know what goes through your head when you walk into a room knowing everybody may recognize you.
Then things get darker: unwanted attention, obsessive fans, frightening encounters and the security problems that can come with being recognizable. Heather shares stories from her years with Tommy Lee, while Jillian recalls advice Sandra Bullock once gave her about setting boundaries with fans.
The conversation also turns to sobriety, addiction, whether everyone with a drinking problem needs complete abstinence, true crime, the Idaho murders — and the controversy surrounding the granddaughter of Charles Manson.
In other words… a completely normal episode of What Do You Want?!
Hosted by Heather Locklear, Jillian Barberie and Nurse Melanie Mancil (RN, BSN).
Tell us in the comments:
Would you actually want to be famous?
And what do YOU want the ladies to talk about next?
The fame discussion is especially strong because Heather describes simply staying present with the people she was with rather than obsessing over everyone looking at her, while Jerry talks about wanting fame at 20 and then becoming deeply uncomfortable when it actually arrived.
