This week, Sami shares her chilling Facebook hacking experience with Aleen and Jordana, before getting into the headlines. First, Heidi and Spencer have turned tragedy into an unexpected comeback, galvanizing their followers into getting Heidi's 2010 album to #1 on iTunes. We love their love and we wish them well! Next, Timothée Chalamet is headed back to SNL this weekend as host… and musical guest. Is he going to be in full Bob Dylan mode, or should we be expecting a song from the Lil Timmy Tim archives? After a long enough hiatus that neither Aleen and Jordana can remember season 1, Severance is finally back for season 2. Was their performance art publicity stunt in Grand Central cool enough to get Sami to binge it? Finally, there are a few things the trio *did* watch this week - they share their highlights and theories from the new episodes of The Traitors, and give their review of awards darling Conclave. Our Betch of the Week is Speidi, and we're sending Lauren Conrad to the Caymans for not making a video promoting Superficial, and for that resurfaced video from The Hills where she made fun of Heidi's new job.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami discuss their favorite Golden Globes moments: Nikki Glaser's impeccable hosting prowess, Demi Moore and Zoe Saldaña's first ever Globe wins (even certified Emilia Pérez hater Aleen can attest that she earned it), Zendaya and Tom Holland soft launching their engagement, and Timmy and Kylie apparently still going strong. Then, they give a thorough review of The Substance, and why Demi's performance was so effective, even if some elements of the story didn't quite add up. Finally, Jordana explains Jennifer Aydin's recent outburst at an airport Jersey Mikes, and they share some airport annoyances of their own. Our joint Betches of the week are Nikki and Demi, and Jen Aydin can catch the next flight out to the Caymans to figure out how to talk to service workers. Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy New Year, Betch! Aleen, Jordana, and Sami get caught up on the latest pop culture news, starting with the latest in the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni situation. They may have won Betches' Feud of the Year award in 2024, but it's still going strong in 2025. Next, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are finally divorced after an eight year long battle - we'll never know exactly what happened on that plane, and that's ok. Sami and Aleen are excited for Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix show, but Jordana is less than impressed at the idea of the Duchess of Sussex making jams. Will Aleen watch Wicked in time for the Golden Globes on Sunday? Either way, make sure you're following Betches on socials for our awards show coverage. Our Betch of the Week is Meghan Markle (Jordana's protest vote is noted), and we're sending Justin, Blake, and Ryan to the Caymans for all their shady PR moves. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the last week of the year, so Aleen, Jordana, and Sami are here to share their holiday plans and personal resolutions for 2025. Then, they make some bold predictions for the upcoming year in pop culture, from celebrity break ups and weddings, to career comebacks and business moves, future Betches of the Week, and who might find themselves getting sent to the Caymans.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami kick things off with the exciting news that Betches is now an official media partner of the NFL! Speaking of football, is Aaron Rodgers cursed, or is it just the Jets? Either way they may want to contact the TikTok witch that predicted Jared's future wife (IYKYK). Onto celeb news, Taylor Swift turned 35 last Friday, and Travis reportedly spent $175K on gifts - but still no ring, to Jordana's dismay. Over in the Bravo-verse, James Kennedy says he's focusing on “sobriety and personal growth” after his recent domestic violence-related arrest, and we hope everyone involved gets the help they need. Next, they turn their attention to The Cut's new essay from Ethan Slater's wife, Lilly Jay, in her first public statement since the messy love triangle (square?) with Ariana Grande… and TBH it's not really giving what we were hoping it would give. Then, they catch up on some recent TV favorites and recommendations for what to binge over the holidays. Finally, Betch of the Week has to go to bday girl Taylor, and Hawk Tuah is getting sent to the Caymans for the fiasco of her $HAWK memecoin. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami jump straight into their favorite story of the week: Selena Gomez's engagement to Benny Blanco - and her perfectly curated IG post (she knows what the people want to see). Will Justin and Hailey score an invite? Is Taylor secretly pissed that Benny popped the question before Travis? They get into all the theories and curate their top 5 celeb bridesmaids. Next, congrats are in order for Reesa Tessa, who rightfully took the crown for Betch of the Year, and Jack Schlossberg, who was named Babygirl of the Year (he really is one of us). Lindsay Lohan is back with a new Netflix movie, but more importantly, are the facelift rumors true? Maybe Michael Lohan put it best when he said her look is “so natural, just like her talent.” Moving on to less celebratory news, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have split just weeks after announcing their pregnancy, but Jordana has her own theory about where their journey is heading. Speaking of famous exes, is there a dollar amount high enough to convince Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to work together again? One film producer seems to think so, but it sounds a little too much like the plot of America's Sweethearts to be believed. Finally, they close out with Hilary Duff's daughter's very sweet reaction to Sabrina Carpenter's Lizzie McGuire costume. With two Golden Globe noms *and* an engagement, our Betch of the Week is obviously Selena - we'd give anything to go to that wedding. And Machine Gun Kelly is getting put on the first flight out to the Caymans for whatever incriminating “material” Megan Fox found on his phone. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Betch of the Year issue is live! Aleen, Sami, and Jordana kick off this week's episode with a breakdown of some of their favorite categories and nominees. Then, Sami and Jordana share all their thoughts on Wicked, including an analysis of Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's on screen chemistry (or lack thereof). Speaking of celeb relationships, are Taylor and Travis getting engaged any time soon? And if the Chiefs don't clinch another Super Bowl win, is the relationship doomed? Meanwhile, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia fled the states for the English countryside, but we're not sure we're buying that it was all to get away from US politics. And finally, Sami and Jordana get into Netflix's new JonBenet Ramsey docuseries and compare their theories. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Happy Thanksgiving, Betch. This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share their plans for the holiday and compare notes on festive dishes. Are Brussels sprouts a millennial vegetable, and is that why they're not as trendy as they used to be? Sami and Aleen explain to Jordana why everyone this past weekend was “holding space” for the lyrics of Defining Gravity, and why the Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo press tour has been the inspiration for countless memes. This episode was recorded on Monday, so come back next week for their thoughts on the film. In the meantime, Aleen finally rewatched the original Gladiator, and it did make her cry. Our Betch of the Week is Tracy Gilchrist, the Out reporter who gave us the incredible gift of that Wicked interview, and we're sending the pilgrims to the Caymans for a multitude of past sins.

This week, Sami and Aleen have theories for just about everything: JonBenét Ramsey's killer, the link between last year's Roman Empire meme and this year's Gladiator II film, what the Tesla robot means for our futures, the secret inscription inside the friendship ring Leonardo DiCaprio gave Kate Winslet (and why they kissed this week), and Anne Hathaway and her husband possibly being the reincarnation of William Shakespeare and his wife (seriously, do an image search and tell them they're wrong). In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share their Friendsgiving plans. Then, they share their thoughts on My Old Ass, and contemplate what would happen if they could go back in time and meet their younger selves... and whether their past self would even listen. Finally, they celebrate the premiere of RHOBH season 14, and Dorit leaning into her villain era. Our Betch of the Week is Dorit, and we're sending the Tesla robot to the Caymans. If it's so smart, let it figure out how to sell those time shares.

This week, Sami shares some dog updates with Aleen and Jordana, before they get into the stories of the week. First up is People's Sexiest Man Alive, John Krasinski, and the DeuxMoi blind item that has people second guessing his crowning. Did Glen Powell and Pedro Pascal actually turn it down, or is that just what their publicists want us to think? Wicked is almost in theaters, and Sami heard a rumor it's the best movie musical since Chicago... Meanwhile, Mattel had to apologize after accidentally linking to a porn site on its Wicked doll packaging. Next up, fellow podcaster Armie Hammer had his mother on the show, who shared that she got him a vasectomy for his birthday last year to make sure there wouldn't be any more little Hammers running around. Usually our moms just take us to dinner, but to each their own. Then, they send congrats to Megan Fox on her pregnancy and speculate on Khloé's mysterious new business venture.

This week, Aleen, Sami, and Jordana are here to distract you - and themselves - from the news cycle with a deep dive into the new Martha Stewart documentary that hit Netflix last week.

In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share some of their fall traditions. To close out the episode, Jordana gives her review of M. Night Shyamalan's latest film, Trap.

They kick things off with the spookiest story of the week: Armie Hammer's newly announced podcast, aptly named "The Armie HammerTime Podcast." Next, Timothée Chalamet showed up at his own lookalike contest in NY this week, and Aleen and Jordana get caught up on some of the the ClubChalamet lore. Moving on to celeb relationship news: Despite recent public appearances together looking loved up, Zoë Kravtiz and Channing Tatum have reportedly split - and Jenna Dewan's fiancé seems to find that hilarious, for reasons unknown. Gisele Bündchen and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor/boyfriend are expecting their first child together, and Tom Brady might be feeling kind of emo about it, if his IG stories are any indication. Nick Cannon opened up about feeling insecure during his marriage to “Alpha” Mariah Carey, which leads to a conversation about relationship dynamics within successful couples. Jordana and Aleen share their thoughts on A Friend Of The Family, streaming on Peacock (true crime counts for Halloween, right?). Then, a game of Ick or Treat with five pop culture moments from the week, from Ariana Grande's bf on the cover of GQ to Kim's birthday post for Caitlyn. Finally, a tribute to queen of Halloween, Heidi Klum, who we'd love to share a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider.

Next, the Betches Canceled Plans issue is officially live, and they discuss the joys of both canceling and getting canceled on. Onto the pop culture headlines, Kylie is on the November cover of Elle, but Jordana's more concerned with Wicked's marketing team's decision to host a special screening for the Kardashian-Jenner kids. In other news, what's going on with Justin Bieber's finances? We'll be keeping an eye out for a potential future lawsuit. Then, much as it pains Jordana and Sami to discuss this without Aleen, J Lo's ex-husband Ojani Noa went on TV this week and blamed Diddy for their divorce. Honestly, we just want a deep dive documentary on what really happened during the two years J Lo and Diddy dated. And at long last, Jordana and Sami share their long-awaited thoughts on It Ends With Us. Finally, they decide which celeb of the week they are sharing a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider.

This week, Sami and Jordana cover the latest headlines while Aleen takes care of business. First up, Sami shares her rave challah reviews, it was so delicious that Jordana might be inspired to write up a business plan! In her first interview since her split from Ben Affleck, JLo discusses their divorce, prompting Jordana to find the timing suspicious, while Sami takes a more entrepreneurial angle. Then, Taylor Swift is named the world's richest female musician following the success of her Eras Tour, boasting a net worth of $1.6 billion. This leads Jordana and Sami to explore a potential engagement timeline for Taylor and Travis. Finally, they dive into the thrilling penultimate episode of Tell Me Lies and predict how this season might wrap up.

Most importantly, Jordana unveils her new custom 3 Betch Movers hoodie… We Here For You(r Move). Then, they dive into the headlines, starting with Lana Del Rey's marriage to alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene, which simultaneously feels like something out of an alternate dimension and completely on brand. Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi shared wedding photos of their own this week, and they're so very young, but we wish them all the best. Next, some Diddy updates and celeb death conspiracy theories (including a spooky Britney Spears/Brittany Murphy crossover). Onto film and TV, the trio share their thoughts on Nobody Wants This, Will & Harper, The Apprentice, and the trailers for Nicole Kidman's Babygirl, and Amy Adams' Night Bitch. Our Betch Of The Week is Lana for not giving a fuck and finding true love, and we're sending onions (and knives) to the Caymans for maiming Jordana's finger. Shana Tova!

Next, Jordana's been watching a few things that hit Netflix this week, and she has *thoughts*. First up, her review of Ellen Degeneres' new and final comedy special (who let her believe this was the material to go out on?) Then, they recap of some of the updates in the Diddy case - keep an eye out for a deeper dive coming soon. Speaking of true crime, the new season of Monster hit Netflix this week, with The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, and Jordana gets into whether or not it nailed the tone… Ryan Murphy might need to take a step back from that genre as a whole. And finally, Jordana shares something worthy of a recommendation: the documentary Into The Fire: The Lost Daughter. We're sending Ryan Murphy to the Caymans for his Menendez misstep, and our Betches of the week are Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, Lorde, and Addison Rae. Learn more about your ad choices.

Taylor swept for Fortnight, but we're not buying it as the legitimate Song of the Summer. Meanwhile, Taylor and Travis are doing everything in their power to make us forget about that publicity breakup conspiracy document, and honestly… it's kind of working. In related billionaire news, Selena Gomez officially joined the club this week, with the success of Rare Beauty. We love a self-made woman, and we will be sat for her upcoming film Emilia Perez. Up at TIFF, JLo and Matt Damon were spotted having an intense conversation while holding hands at the after party for Unstoppable, which stars JLo and is produced by Matt and Ben's production company.

This week, Jordana's in France, but Sami is back from DC and catches Aleen up on her time at the DNC, including those Beyoncé rumors. Aleen shares news of her upcoming move and a fun interior decorating discovery with her daughter. The much-anticipated 2nd season of Tell Me Lies is dropping next week, but until then, Aleen is loving Industry (aka X-rated Suits). Bethany Frankel had a cringeworthy run-in with Danielle Olivera in the Hamptons and acted like she was too old to know who she was, but Sami and Aleen aren't convinced. Brittany Cartwright filed for divorce from Jax Taylor this week, which is yet another reason to tune in to season 2 of The Valley. And what is going on with the Kardashian-Jenners and their cryptic posts about tea? Are they launching a new product… or a podcast? Most importantly, it looks like Aleen may have been right about Kylie and Timmy. In other news, Sabrina Carpenter's new album is on repeat, but are she and Barry Keoghan still together (or were they ever? It's giving PR relationship). Congrats are in order for Hailey and Justin Bieber's new baby Jack Blues, and a tentative congrats to Lana Del Rey on her new relationship… do you think they met on one of his alligator tours? Ben Affleck also sparked relationship rumors with Kick Kennedy, which took us all down yet another weird RFK animal horror story. Our Betch of the Week is Lana for being one of the realest in the game, and we're sending Armie Hammer right back to the Caymans to escape the LA gas prices. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Sami is away at the Bravocon of politics (aka the DNC), so Aleen and Jordana are here to cover this week's headlines. Aleen kicks things off with her recent online shopping headache, before they dive into celeb news. First up, J Lo has finally filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on the 2nd anniversary of their Georgia wedding, while Ben is in New Haven with the other Jen dropping their daughter off at Yale. Was This Is Me…Now their 2nd Gigli? And how could they not have a prenup? Next, is the “demure” trend over or are we just too old to participate? Either way, we're happy for Jools Lebron's viral hit. Speaking of successful women in media, Alex Cooper of Call Her Daddy fame inked a massive deal with SiriusXM. Just don't call her the female Joe Rogan. And finally, despite rumors to the contrary and those of us (Jordana) who didn't even know they were together to begin with, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are still very much engaged, if her massive emerald ring is any indication. We're sending Fashion Bunker to the Caymans to sort out their customer service, and our very demure, very mindful, very cutesy Betch of the Week is Jools Lebron. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Sami, Jordana, and Aleen wish Ben Affleck a very happy 52nd birthday, and share their theories on JLo's recent public sightings with Ben and Jen Garner's kids. Then, they dive back in to the continuing drama around It Ends With Us. Who is winning the PR war? Does rude behavior in an interview mean Blake is a true mean girl, or are her jokes just not landing? Next, several people have been arrested in connection with Matthew Perry's death, including two of his doctors. We'll be keeping an eye on the case as it develops. In true crime news, Jordana watched Netflix's new Laci Peterson docuseries, and gives Aleen and Sami a refresher on the case.

This week, Sami, Jordana, and Aleen kick things off with two very important discussions: which fast food chicken place is the best, and would you have chosen Big or Aiden in the SATC universe? In other news, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have been all over social media with their respective films' press tours. Is Blake Lively a “crown straightener,” or was she mean to Leighton Meester in the Gossip Girl days? Speaking of cast feuds, what is going on with Justin Baldoni versus everyone else in It Ends With Us? He's almost suspiciously emotionally intelligent. Meanwhile, why didn't Ryan Reynolds acknowledge Matthew Macfadyen in any of his Deadpool & Wolverine posts? And why hasn't anyone except Aleen noticed? Then, Jordana and Aleen share their thoughts on the House of the Dragon finale (spoiler: Aleen is pissed), and Jordana catches Aleen and Sami up on all the RHONJ finale drama.

This week, Sami, Aleen, and Jordana kick things off with their favorite Olympics moments so far, including the US Women's gymnastics team's incredible win and Simone Biles having the last laugh over MyKayla Skinner. Next, we dive into the world of Ballerina Farm, the viral Times article, and trad wife culture in general. Are they that different from any other lifestyle influencer? Onto celeb news, Ben Affleck bought a $20 million mansion while the $60 million one he shares with JLo still languishes on the market. Can they just announce their separation already so we can all move on? In the world of Bravo, Carl Radke announced his new non-alcoholic venue Soft Bar + Cafe, and we have some constructive criticism on the name. Jax Taylor is reportedly getting some help with his mental health, and we'll be tuning in when season 2 of The Valley comes back to see how he and Brittany are handling their separation.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami jump right into it with the latest Bennifer updates. JLo's in the Hamptons celebrating her 55th bday with an extravagant Bridgerton-themed bash, while Ben Affleck is on the other side of the country inspiring less-than-flattering headlines about how he might be coping with their alleged separation. In global news, the CrowdStrike outage resulted in mass disruptions for airlines and hospitals, which is a good reminder for Aleen and Sami to get back to work on their bunkers. Next up, the royal family caused a stir with a report that Prince William earned over $30 million last year… no wonder he got such good Taylor Swift seats. And while we're over in the UK, Matthew Macfayden (aka Tom Wambsgans) did an interview claiming he wasn't “dishy enough” to play Mr. Darcy, and respectfully, we beg to differ. The Paris Olympics opening ceremony is tomorrow night, and we'll be tuning in to Celine Dion and Lady Gaga's La Vie En Rose duet. And finally, Aleen and Jordana share their thoughts on the Presumed Innocent finale. Our Betch of the Week is Matthew Macfayden for being enough for us, and we're sending the CrowdStrike CEO to the Caymans, but he's gonna have to suffer through a few canceled flights on his way there.

Speaking of Bravo, Tom Sandoval filed a new lawsuit against Ariana, in a mission to keep his Most Hated Man In America title. In other legal news, Alec Baldwin's criminal trial has been dismissed, which is great news for the TLC show. Across the pond, Kate Middleton made a rare public appearance at Wimbledon, looking gorgeous in purple. Aleen's determined to attend next year, and Jordana's taking lessons so she's practically tournament ready. And randomly, Ozzy Osbourne has had quite enough of Britney Spears' dancing videos, not that she cares… although low key we did have to unfollow. Finally, we wrap with a segment called You Deserve A Treat, brought to you by Hill's Pet Nutrition, to go over some self care goals for the coming week. We're sending Tom Sandoval to the Caymans yet again, because, in Jordana's words, that guy stinks. Our Betch of the Week is the Princess of Wales for her much deserved standing O at “the” Wimbeldon.

This week, Aleen is back from Greece with a hot take about Mykonos, and an even hotter sunscreen conspiracy theory that she needs Sami and Jordana to weigh in on. Sami's new book, Democracy In Retrograde, is in high demand in stores *and* at the library (ever heard of it?). In celeb news, Lindsay Hubbard is pregnant and made the announcement in true Lindsay fashion: via a sponsored post. Did Dorinda really spill the news to The Traitors' producers and get her axed from the show?

This week, Aleen may be in Greece, but Jordana is looking tan, which according to her dermatologist is *not* a compliment. Sami reveals her meteorology skepticism (climate change is real, but weather apps are fake). Jordana and Sami share their thoughts on Celine Dion's new documentary… JLo's doc is feeling more insignificant by the day. Speaking of JLo, a new update suggests she and Ben have actually been separated since March, and Ben has been looking to Jennifer Garner for advice on the situation. Listen to find out what we think that advice actually is. Then, Sami explains Charli XCX and her new album Brat to Jordana, and they discuss their Summer House season 9 predictions.

Aleen's heading to Greece next week for her 5 year wedding anniversary (and 10 year dating anniversary!), and reflects on how long term relationships shape you as a person. Speaking of vacations, JLo was papped flying commercial, which raises the question: how tight *is* money right now in the Bennifer household? If you could have insider info on any celeb's finances, who would you choose? We're sending a huge congrats to Mindy Kaling, who surprised everyone with an announcement that her 3rd child was born back in February. How many pre-planned IG posts must she have taken to keep that under wraps? In other celebrity offspring news, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's daughter Suri has dropped her dad's last name, not long after Shiloh Jolie-Pitt announced plans to do the same. The family drama there might be even more fascinating than JLo's tax return. Next up, despite his fears about the world tour being ruined, Justin played Madison Square Garden this week to an audience that somehow included Martin Scorsese. And notorious hater Hugh Grant tweeted his love of Taylor Swift after her show at Wembley, where Prince William was also spotting shaking it off - was everyone there except Jordana? Finally, filming has commenced on Freaky Friday 2, and we can't wait to see it in 2025. Our Silver Star of The Week, brought to you by Heineken, is Prince William for letting loose at the show.

We also hear the Kelce brothers are scheduled to attend too-- will the Betches end up in the presence of Taylor? We'll report back. Speaking of Taylor, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived aka Matty Healy is engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel, and we have a lot of thoughts, including a niche theory. From one troubling couple to the next– JLO and Ben Affleck are selling their $60 million dollar mansion. Is a divorce imminent? Why couldn't they have bought a simple $15 million dollar cottage like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?! Has Jen Garner been secretly planting these press stories? Listen for our thoughts.
