Celebrity romances have always captured the public's imagination, playing out like soap operas seized upon by fans and tabloids alike. By the same token, high-profile trials can take over the mainstream media cycle, with both news pundits and the public picking over every detail to predict outcomes and cast their own judgements. Enter the union, dissolution, and hostile legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard-where these dual obsessions collided in a chaotic moment of true cultural fixation.Hollywood Vampires offers an inside account of one of the most controversial and consequential celebrity scandals of the internet era. Fueled by viral clips, reaction videos, and endless online debates, the trial became more than a legal battle. It became a public spectacle, dividing audiences worldwide. Kelly Loudenberg and Makiko Wholey were documentarians and journalists on the ground for the Depp vs Heard trial. Having closely followed both Johnny, Amber, and their camps, they spent years leading up to and following the trial, interviewing the couple's closest allies as well as their managers, lawyers, agents, business associates, publicists, assistants, and personal staff. Culled from their reporting in Fairfax, Virginia, as well as over 50 hours of exclusive video footage, Hollywood Vampires is a lucid, inside-the-room account that reveals a story the world thinks it knows in an entirely new light."Over the seven weeks we spent covering the trial, we came to a profound realization: unraveling the complexity, nuance, and cultural significance of the story required the depth and breadth that only a book could provide. What started as a traditional documentary transformed into a literary investigation that allowed us to spend several years conducting extensive interviews and performing meticulous research on the multifaceted characters and narratives that intersected in this case. In crafting this book, we have made a sincere effort to represent all perspectives and tell a complete story. We've approached the subject matter with both journalistic integrity and narrative flair. Hollywood Vampires offers readers more than just celebrity gossip or true crime intrigue-it explores questions about power, perception, gender dynamics, and the court of public opinion in our digital age," said Loudenberg and Wholey.Turning the lens around, Hollywood Vampires questions how the Hollywood exploitation machine, strengthened by the forces of social media and legacy media alike, blurs the lines between fact and fiction, reportage and voyeurism, comedy and horror. It also explores how social media transformed a courtroom-a pillar of justice-into a source of digital mayhem where misinformation spread like wildfire. The result is a page-turning Hollywood epic full of revealing details that tell a wider tale about the celebrity-industrial complex, modern fandom, inflammatory culture wars, and contemporary feminism. With its unparalleled access and in-depth, investigative approach, Hollywood Vampires is set to join the ranks of other bestselling books like BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS by Mandy Matney, CATCH AND KILL by Ronan Farrow and ENDGAME by Omid Scobie.For readers of weighty, reported cultural narratives as well as pop-culture obsessives, this book offers a rare glimpse into the hidden machinery of Hollywood, the power plays embedded within our justice system, and the private lives of two of the biggest movie stars in the world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

It was a fairy tale until it wasn't…For a long time, that's what successful businesswoman Brenda Coffee told herself whenever she dared to look back on her twenties and thirties. In Maya Blue: A Memoir of Survival (She Writes Press/ Distribution by Simon & Schuster; May 20, 2025), Brenda opens up about the life she once lived—and all the secrecy, madness, trauma, abuse, and danger that came with it. Brenda details her years married to Philip Ray, the genius who conceived and developed the first desktop computer terminal, followed by the microprocessor and the first personal computer. Their infamous and isolated home in San Antonio, Texas was known as the “Spy House on the Hill” for its scandalous history of harboring Nazis spies. It was in the basement of their historic home where Philip began spending every waking moment working on his self-destructive “project,” making cocaine from scratch -- becoming addicted to it in the process. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

A former Obama speechwriter moves to the Jersey Shore and learns to surf with the help of his brother-in-law: a tattooed, truck-driving Joe Rogan superfan.David, the Yale-educated writer with a fear of sharks, and Matt, the daredevil electrician with a shed full of surfboards, had never been close. But as America's crises piled up and David spiraled into existential dread, he noticed that his brother-in-law was thriving. He began to suspect Matt's favorite hobby had something to do with it.David started taking surf lessons. For months, he wiped out on waves the height of daffodils. Yet, after realizing that surfing could change him both in and out of the water, he set an audacious goal: riding a big wave in Hawaii. He searched for an expert he could trust to guide and protect him-and when he couldn't find one, he asked Matt. Together, they set out on a journey that spanned coasts, and even continents, before taking them to Oahu's famously dangerous North Shore.It's Only Drowning is a laugh-out-loud love letter to surfing-and so much more. It's an ode to embarking on adventures at any age. It's a blueprint for becoming braver at a time when it takes courage just to read the news. Most of all, it's the story of an unlikely friendship, one that crosses the fault lines of education, ideology, and culture tearing so many of us apart. It's is not just a surfing memoir - in addition to tackling (and be tackled by) the waves, David tackles the complex cultural nuances of our current society. Readers will recognize their own 'surfing' journeys and their own 'Matts', making David's story a beacon of hope to those of us who struggle to, but want to step outside our comfort zones whether that means taking up a new hobby or embarking on a journey to understand the other side of the aisle.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Pod Crashing episode 376 with Caroline D'Amore from the podcast Once Upon A Con Television personality and founder of LA-based organic Italian food and accessories company, Pizza Girl, Caroline D'Amore ("The Hills: New Beginnings," "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," "Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars") is taking back control with her powerful new true crime series with iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, "Once Upon a Con" premiers February 12, 2025, on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. The series chronicles D'Amore's transformation from victim to relentless crusader as she exposes David Bloom, the notorious and prolific fraudster. Produced by Alex Baskin's 32 Flavors-the creative force behind "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," "The Real Housewives of Orange County," "Vanderpump Rules," and "The Valley," among many others -and AYR Media ("Queen of the Con"; "Bitter Blood" and "Spy High," among many others), "Once Upon a Con" delivers gripping access to D'Amore's dramatic pursuit of justice, featuring never-before-seen footage of her high-stakes confrontation with Bloom that ultimately led to his arrest on multiple felony charges. In 2020, Bloom infiltrated the star-studded world of Hollywood's iconic Villa Carlotta, a prestigious haven for A-list creatives. Masquerading as a philanthropic billionaire with fabricated ties to top executives, Bloom orchestrated an elaborate scheme to defraud D'Amore and her business partners out of tens of thousands of dollars-and other victims out of significantly more. But Bloom didn't anticipate D'Amore's determination to fight back. Refusing to remain a victim, D'Amore launched her own investigation, uncovering decades of deceit that stretched back to Bloom's days as Manhattan's infamous "Wall Street Whiz Kid." The podcast reveals D'Amore's fearless pursuit of the truth, taking listeners step-by-step through the relentless investigation and dogged efforts that ultimately bring Bloom to justice. "'Once Upon a Con' isn't just about what happened to me-it's about exposing the manipulators who prey on trust and showing that even when you feel powerless, you can take the fight to those who think they're untouchable," says D'Amore. "Once Upon a Con" features exclusive interviews with Bloom's victims, including survivors from his earlier multi-million-dollar busts in Manhattan in the 1980s and 1990s, uncovering his long trail of fraud across Hollywood and Manhattan, and delivering shocking revelations about his tactics. With unprecedented access to the investigation, "Once Upon a Con" gives listeners a front-row seat to the dramatic takedown of one of Hollywood's most cunning predators, who now sits in a Los Angeles County prison waiting for trial. Episodes available here:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-once-upon-a-con-260747492/   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Legendary Stage, Television and Film Actor, Activist, and Author, George Takei, is Set to Release his Graphic Memoir on June 10, 2025!A new full-color graphic memoir from the team behind George Takei's award-winning bestseller They Called Us Enemy, telling the untold story of George's journey from closeted actor to international gay icon. It Rhymes With Takei offers an unprecedented view into the heart of this beloved star and a celebration of the warp-speed changes he has witnessed in one lifetime.George Takei has shown the world many faces: actor, author, outspoken activist, helmsman of the starship Enterprise, living witness to the internment of Japanese Americans, and king of social media. But until October 27, 2005, there was always one piece missing-one face he did not show the world. There was one very intimate fact about George that he never shared - and it rhymes with Takei.Now, for the first time ever, George shares the full story of his life in the closet, his decision to come out as gay at the age of 68, and the way that moment transformed everything. Following the phenomenal success of his first graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy, George Takei reunites with the team of Harmony Becker, Steven Scott, and Justin Eisinger for a jaw-dropping new testament. From his earliest childhood crushes and youthful experiments in the rigidly conformist 1950s, to global fame as an actor and the terrible fear of exposure, to the watershed moment of speaking his truth and becoming one of the most high-profile gay men on the planet, It Rhymes with Takei offers a sweeping portrait of one iconic American navigating the tides of LGBTQ+ history.Combining historical context with intimate subjectivity, It Rhymes with Takei shows how the personal and the political have always been intertwined. Its richly emotional words and images depict the terror of entrapment even in gay community spaces, the anguish of speaking up for so many issues while remaining silent on his most personal issue, the grief of losing friends to AIDS, the joy of finding true love with Brad Altman, and the determination to declare that love openly-and legally-before the whole world.Looking back on his astonishing life on both sides of the closet door, George Takei presents a charismatic and candid account of how far America has come.and how precious that progress is.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Founder of the pioneering band Cro-Mags, Harley Flanagan is a punk rock/hardcore legend who's defied the odds - along with neglect, sexual abuse, drugs, violence and PTSD -- and lived to tell the tale. The feature-length documentary, HARLEY FLANAGAN: WIRED FOR CHAOS, dives headfirst into the wild life and times of this larger-than-life icon and is a no-holds-barred ride, that isn't just about the music; it's about a man forged in fire who's lived to tell the tale.Raised by a Warhol Factory "it" girl, Harley was thrown into the Lower East Side's underground scene in the '70s. Left to fend for himself, by his teens, he was squatting in Alphabet City, stealing food, dodging gangs, and living in a world that he describes as "some serious Lord of the Flies shit." But, as his life descended into a hellish day-to-day, he was simultaneously becoming a punk rock legend: at the age of 11, he was drumming at CBGBs and Max's Kansas City with his aunt's band, the Stimulators. Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll weren't a choice - they were survival. But Harley was a fighter. Whether on stage, in the streets, or in the Jiu-Jitsu gym with Renzo Gracie, he never backed down. As the ferocious frontman of the Cro-Mags, he pushed NYC Hardcore into uncharted territory. But violence, addiction and a traumatic past left deep scars. The streets made him, but they also nearly destroyed him.Directed and Produced by Emmy and Peabody Award-winner Rex Miller (Citizen Ashe) for Rexpix Media, and produced by Laura Flanagan, HARLEY FLANAGAN: WIRED FOR CHAOS dives deep into Harley's past, but it's not just war stories. It's about what happens after. Friends like Flea, Henry Rollins, Ice T, Roger Miret, Keith Morris, Michael Imperioli, Matt Serra, Jocko Willink, Darryl Jenifer, Glenn Danzig, Brooke Smith, Marcia Resnick, Kate Schellenbach and the late Anthony Bourdain reveal the man behind the legend - confronting demons, raising a family, and sharing the knowledge of his experience to help others.

Sly Stone's passing. The leader of the fun and funky 1960s/70s group Sly & the Family Stone died from lung disease and left behind him some extraordinary music as well as an enigmatic legacy. Today it was announced by his family that Brian Wilson, founder of the Beach Boys and the musical brains behind beloved hits like “Good Vibrations,” “God Only Knows,” “California Girls” and many others, has died. The cause of death is unknown at this time, but he was placed under a conservatorship in May 2024 due to his declining health. Music historian Scott Shea states that, “These were two California visionaries who both came from musical families and their individual musical heritages helped shape a movement in the 1960s.

The concept of time has been a subject of intense debate and profound intrigue almost from the beginning of… well, recorded time. Is time a human invention to keep us on track? That's the logical take. But what if time was truly a mystical force, protected by the gods and powering all that is good and beautiful in our world?Flavia Brunetti explores that wonderful possibility—and raises a dreadful scenario—in her debut fantasy novel, THE WEB OF TIME (Blue House Literary; May 20, 2025). Unfolding in Rome, Tunis, and Tripoli, this imaginative, lyrical work follows several characters—some mortal, some not—whose lives and fates intertwine in often startling, consequential ways. They all (like everyone everywhere) depend on the Web of Time, which has been spinning quietly since the dawn of creation, keeping the universe from slipping into chaos and sustaining three Great Portals: Kindness, Art, and Language. Threads from this web naturally rearrange themselves as humans change their minds, fall in love, suffer losses, make great discoveries and terrible mistakes, build empires and cause them to fall. Even when portals close from the world, the web continues keeping time, marking history. Until the unthinkable happens. Time doesn't just stand still—it starts erasing itself, and pieces of history begin vanishing.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

I'm always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   How long does it take beef to break down in our bodies?  Plus…is there such a thing as a beef hangover?                                          I'm Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it's my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It's still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Israel has launched direct strikes inside Iran against its nuclear program, military leaders, and nuclear scientists. These events were predicted in detail more than a year-and-a-half ago in the book TARGET TEHRAN by Yonah Jeremy Bob, Senior Military and Intelligence Analyst for The Jerusalem Post, and fellow journalist Ilan Evyatar.Bob and Evyatar anticipated and warned of this precise escalation: Mossad's covert operations on Iranian soil, the doctrine of preemptive self-defense, and the strategic urgency surrounding Iran's nuclear and regional ambitions. Over two pages in TARGET TEHRAN the authors described a massive air assault on Iran carried out in three waves by more than one hundred Israeli aircraft and a similar number of drones. They detailed the routes taken, the types of aircraft and weapons involved, and the targets-Iran's heavy water reactors, uranium conversion plants, research reactors and other facilities involved in Iran's nuclear weaponization experiments. They addressed the questions of casualties and revenge attacks as well. TARGET TEHRAN serves as a live roadmap to what is unfolding right now.Being on the ground in Israel, with access to high-level military and government sources and classified top secret briefings, Evyatar is qualified to discuss other potential targets that Israel might hit. He can also offer detailed, up-to-the-minute insight into the current context of the conflict between Israel and Iran, and what it bodes for the future.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Through exclusive interviews and over a decade of deep research, renowned music journalist Jan Gradvall explores the secrets to ABBA's success. There has never been a group like ABBA. More than half a century after their songs were recorded, ABBA still make people the world over dance and sing their hearts out. In 2013, when the band had not been interviewed for over thirty years, Jan Gradvall was granted unique access to them for the next decade and the result is The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover. Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad all share their personal stories, their thoughts and their opinions about ABBA's music more openly than ever before. Weaving in and out of their story, well-known international music critic Jan Gradvall reveals the context in which their unique sound developed and shows how the story of ABBA is also the story of Sweden and the globalization of pop culture. From their earliest hits in Sweden like "People Need Love" and "Ring, Ring" to their chart-topping international hits like "Dancing Queen," "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" and "Mama Mia!" to ABBA Voyage - their first album in forty years - and the two-million-ticket-selling eponymous concert-experience in London, it is undeniable that, in the history of pop culture and music, there has never been a group like ABBA. With remarkable intimacy, Gradvall's sensational book brings readers closer than ever to one of the world's most notoriously private groups.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

That Day in Dallas: Lee Harvey Oswald Did Not Kill JFK is best described as a prosecution by Robert K. Tanenbaum of those corrupt, unscrupulous government and unelected agency officials, who from inception with predetermined outcomes, deceitfully engaged in insecure, phony pretense probes regarding the assassination in Dealey Plaza. Those responsible are prosecuted while those who speak truth to power are exonerated.Robert Tanenbaum, who in 1976 was appointed deputy chief counsel in charge of the congressional investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy, provides stunning and shocking "immutable facts" that reveal unequivocally that the government's reliance on the Warren Commission (WC) investigation and the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) alleged probe were reprehensibly and ultimately gut-wrenchingly misleading and downright dishonest. The HSCA was not interested in searching for truth. In fact, as an example, it ultimately fabricated a significant portion of its forensic medical panel summary report and then sealed for fifty years all the underlying documents.For the past sixty years, the government's contrived case that a sole gunman fired from the rear three shots from the sixth-floor sniper's nest window inside the Dallas Book Depository building, rested substantially on invalid science and common sense offered to prove the so-called "Single-Bullet Theory." Evidence shows that five shots were fired in Dealey Plaza, not three. Corroboration of the fourth shot, the fatal blast fired from the geographical front of JFK at the knoll hill stockade fence area, includes witnesses and exhibits, as well as scientific audio and photo verification, while significant convincing evidence shows that the fifth shot came from a northeast building complex behind JFK.The uncomfortable truth is that Lee Harvey Oswald has been unjustly accused as the assassin notwithstanding his contract employee status of both the CIA and FBI.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

An award-winning business leader and speaker shares her journey of uncovering years of childhood trauma through scientific modalities like epigenetics, neuroplasticity, and decades of therapy. Daria Burke's childhood growing up under the shadow of an absent father and a mother debilitated by drug addiction was marked by neglect and poverty. Despite these fractured beginnings, she forges a triumphant path out of Detroit and into fashion's C-Suite. After ten years of therapy, she believes her healing journey is complete.When she discovers a photograph of the car accident that she believes altered the course of her early life, Burke is forced to confront the parts of her childhood she had avoided. This discovery sparks a four-year immersion into neuroplasticity, epigenetics, the impact of adverse childhood experiences on early brain development, and ultimately, why some of us remain stuck in past trauma while others experience post-traumatic growth. She dives headfirst into an exploration of her trauma, grappling with the enduring grip of the past on the present and the mind's influence over the body.Burke's lyrical account of a life lived with courage and intention offers an empathetic and hard-won perspective on the nature versus nurture debate and the power of acceptance. Part memoir, part methodology, it is a fearless rallying cry inspiring us to excavate and examine the stories that define our lives. Ultimately, the narratives that we craft with our own hands are the only ones that matter.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Boz Scaggs has always been a musical artist of complexity. Scaggs founded his connection to music through the blues, but his lasting legacy is one of glamorous and romantic pop songwriting. He possessed a somewhat shy and sensitive demeanor never totally at home in the public eye, yet his claim to several chart-topping singles and albums, particularly the millions-selling and critically acclaimed Silk Degrees (1976), demanded constant exposure. The persona he expressed through his music was laid back, effortlessly cool, sophisticated, stylish, romantically charming, and suave. But the immense success he achieved in his career pointed in part to the driven and determined artist within. Lowdown: The Music of Boz Scaggs examines the uniqueness of these contradictions throughout Boz Scaggs's sixty-plus-year career and his rich and diverse musical catalog. Over the decades, Scaggs collaborated with an array of talented heavies, from the Steve Miller Band to the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (which included a young Duane Allman) on Boz Scaggs (1969), from the session players on Silk Degrees (1976) who would form the hit band Toto to Donald Fagen and Michael McDonald on the Dukes of September's 2010 Rhythm Revue tour. This first-ever book on Boz is constructed around intensely thorough analysis of his complete discography, and new and exclusive in-depth interviews with a selection of Scaggs's music colleagues from his vast career Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
