Why is Nicole Kidman suddenly everyone's muse? This week, we're going down the Nicole Kidman rabbit hole - from Troye Sivan and ADÉLA's obsession with her, to her secret Ibiza rave life, her even more secret engagement to Lenny Kravitz, her complicated history with Scientology, and the bisexual rumor that had the internet convinced she once dated Naomi Watts. We also touch on why Nicole is such a figure in conspiracy circles, the theories about her father, and the eternal question: what exactly is it about Nicole Kidman that makes her so damn magnetic?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We love to gossip, but we never want celebrities to be listening…and it turns out that lately, they always are!This week, Shannon is joined by Kayla of Kayla Says to talk about a strange change in celebrity culture: famous people are now scrolling the exact same TikToks, tweets and YouTube videos that we are…that includes the content we make about celebrities.Kayla tells her crazy story of Todrick Hall finding her video about him and FaceTiming her for TWO HOURS to explain his side. Then Shannon and Kayla get into Joey King responding to criticism of her Practical Magic 2 casting, Hailey Bieber's cease-and-desists, Selena Gomez fighting back in the comments, and so much more.When does criticism cross the line into cruelty? Should celebrities be allowed to respond to random people giving opinions on their movies and albums? Why does a celebrity acknowledging a rumor sometimes make everyone believe it MORE? And have social media and stan culture completely destroyed the mystique that used to separate celebrities from the rest of us?I mean….can we please gossip about the teachers without the teachers coming into the lunchroom and giving us detention?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's episode is about the people who exist in celebrity circles that you know of, but couldn't explain to your mom. Zach Bia. Stassie Baby. Lauren Perez. The version of Hailey Baldwin before she became a Bieber. They're always on the yacht with the whole crew, but I always find myself wondering "so what is their job again? What do they do?" We're getting into how these people end up in the rooms they're in, whether any of them have a real job (jury's still out on Zach Bia), and why I truly - not being sarcastic here - think being a socialite is more of a skill than we give it credit for.

So many celebrities claim they don't bother with the internet...but I've always thought that can't be true! The internet is so addictive and enticing and sometimes a crack in the matrix happens and we find proof that celebrities ARE online...but with burner accounts! Today I break down documented cases of celebrities, politicians, CEOs, and athletes getting caught tweeting from fake accounts, and explore the reasons why this might be. Kevin Durant's decade-long burner career. Mitt Romney as Pierre Delecto. The Whole Foods CEO who spent eight years on Yahoo Finance message boards. And Elon Musk, who apparently tweets as his baby, his mother, his father, a German man named Adrian, and an attack dog named babysmurf9000. Learn more about your ad choices.

Girl beef, so confusing! I'm fascinated every single time I hear about any variation of a complicated female dynamic - whether it's a friendship breakup, a screenshot a friend sends you, or a coded interview quote that everyone knows is about one specific person but nobody will say out loud. Today we're getting into all of it: the psychology of relational aggression and why girls have been doing this forever, why nobody wants to talk about it, and what celebrity culture reveals about these dynamics that your real life never could. We're breaking down Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift's years-long coded exchanges, the Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber copying spiral that goes way deeper than a tattoo, and the Charli XCX and Lorde WORKING IT OUT on the remix haha that actually gave us a rare happy ending...plus real listener submissions about frenemies at work, girls who copied everything down to their vintage couch, and the best friend you love but also kind of can't stand sometimes.

We're getting into Mark Zuckerberg's $270M Hawaii bunker, the billionaire obsession with burrowing into the earth (or escaping to Mars), why every TV show right now seems to be set in a silo, and whether predictive programming is quietly preparing us for the end of the world.

This week I'm playing unsolicited publicist and giving my full reputational u-turn strategy for Justin Timberlake, Will Smith, and Chappell Roan. One is trying too hard to be cool and needs to stop. One stopped being cool and needs to get it back. And one just needs a nervous system reset and maybe a public speaking coach for a few tweaks. No one asked for this advice but I'm annoying and controlling so I'm here to give it! This year, hit your goals without giving up your favorite bready dishes.

Robert Pattinson is everywhere right now. Three projects with Zendaya, The Drama is out, and everyone is talking about him. But after spending hours going down his rabbit hole (lol), I'm not sure we actually know who he is at all....Today we're covering: the elaborate, years-long lying habit that the press calls "delightfully eccentric" and what it would be called if literally anyone else did it. The Twilight wound and what it reveals about how he sees himself. The FKA Twigs chapter, Suki Waterhouse era, the blind items, and more!

Alex Cooper is (apparently) the most-listened-to female podcaster in the world. She has a $125 million deal, media empire, hydration drink, reality show premiering this week, and a brand name that belongs to someone else. Today on Fluently Forward we're going deep on all of it - the Sofia Franklyn situation and why "Suitman" was actually right, the Matt Kaplan hypocrisy that nobody is talking about loudly enough, the MowPod download scandal that I have personal receipts on, the Alix Earle fallout and what I've heard from people in the know, and what Unwell Winter Games tells us about where this empire is really headed.

Why do so many artists peak on their very first album? This week, Shay (TikTok - and her new podcast Critical Condition) joins the show to unpack the curse of the perfect debut - from Lorde's Pure Heroine to SZA's Ctrl to Olivia Rodrigo's Sour. We dig into why hunger, resistance, and being underestimated produce the best art, and what happens when the label takes over, the money rolls in, and the boardroom starts making creative decisions. Plus, we talk about what artists like Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, and Katy Perry could do to break out of the album yips! This year, hit your goals without giving up your favorite bready dishes.

Today Christy from Snarkbait joins us again to chat all about Hilary Duff! She crashed her rival's movie premiere, hasn't spoken to her sister in seven years, picked a fight with Avril Lavigne for no reason, and may or may not have run a toxic mom group...but she's never had a bad headline stick! This week we talk about why, how Disney built her to be untouchable - and how Selena Gomez seems to be the next Disney generation to use the same playbook.

We're back with part two of Harry Styles week and this time we're diving deep into the blind items! From his acting career and the roles he almost took (Nosferatu? Wicked? A Seth Rogen space comedy??), to the Rande Gerber throuple allegations that will have you sprinting to Google, to his rumored relationships and what the blind items actually say about all of them. And buried inside all of these Harry Styles blind items is a decade long one-sided beef (from Matty Healy) that I could not stop going down the rabbit hole on, and I have a lot of feelings about it.
