    This week's installment of my Aaliyah series is so much fun because we get to discuss a bunch of projects that in my opinion really cemented Aaliyah's position in pop culture forevermore and made her, well, iconic.

From Tommy Hilfiger to the Oscars, a baby's laugh to the Grammys... babygirl's world was expanding constantly and for a short time, we were lucky enough to witness it.There's an ad-free extended version of this episode on Patreon, along with 150+ posts of bonus audio & video content.

    Now this is where things get good!!! Aaliyah's second album, One In A Million, changed music forever when she took a risk on a new writing/producing team, Missy Elliot & Timbaland. Aaliyah swiftly went from an artist that many people counted out to one of the most experimental and important players in not just the r&b scene, but the entire music industry. After being almost cast out of the business due to her illegal marriage to some loser, Aaliyah proved that not only was she here to stay, but that she could stand on her own two feet without a mentor telling her what to do every step of the way. This album is widely regarded as one of the best and most groundbreaking of the decade, so let's break it down and celebrate the innovative magic of Aaliyah's One In A Million.There's an ad-free extended version of this episode on Patreon, along with 150+ posts of bonus audio & video content.

    From 1988-1994, Macaulay was one of the hardest working and highest paid actors in Hollywood. Raking in money and breaking records that compared to his 40-year-old contemporaries made Mack and his father Kit two of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry. Mack didn't care much about this; he wanted to play his game boy and make friends his own age. Kit, on the other hand, used that leverage to make demands, threaten industry professionals, and ensure his idea of what was best for his child's career was the only option. In today's episode we go through the rest of Mack's roles from childhood: Jacob's Ladder, My Girl, The Good Son, The Nutcracker, Getting Even With Dad, The Pagemaster, and Richie Rich. I also cover Macaulay's night hosting Saturday Night Live (which is the stuff of legend), why he was kicked off of the 1994 Oscars, and his soft retirement from the industry at age 14.

    Today we are continuing the remarkable life story of Macaulay Culkin by chronicling one of the most unique friendships in all of showbiz. In 1991, Michael Jackson noticed a kid crossing the threshold of "there's no turning back from here" levels of fame and decided to do something about it. This made sense considering the deluge of similarities between 10 year old Macaulay and the 10 year old that Michael used to be... and possibly still was. There are things about this friendship that I love. There are other things that make me nervous. Of course, this is a remarkably sensitive topic and I hope I approached it in the best way I could.

    116. Britney Spears & Jason Alexander: What Really Happened?

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 13, 2024 114:25


    In January 2004, Britney Spears married Jason Alexander on an early winter morning in Las Vegas. Not the actor from Seinfeld, but a friend she had grown up with in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana. By all accounts, substances were involved, but do the reasons for this wedding reach beyond a drunken mistake? I'd say so. Of course, we all remember that this marriage was annulled after 55 hours. Jason never saw Britney again, but he certainly tried to, most notably when he crashed her recent wedding to now-ex Sam Asghari. In this episode, I explore the reasons I think Britney married Jason and discuss Jason's motivations for his various actions over the years: some bizarre, and some that actually made perfect sense.

    In 2004, JC Chasez was undeterred by the disappointing sales of his first solo album, Schizophrenic. Instead, he was doing something he does quite well: looking into the future. JC conceptualized a brilliant multimedia production entitled The Story of Kate that he hoped to bring not just to fans' ears, but to stages, TV networks, and beyond. While working with Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Harry, Dallas Austin, Timbaland, and more; JC coined the term "intelligent pop music" as he aspired to go beyond some of the shallow concepts that were topping the charts at the time without sacrificing any of the energy that went along with such music. So what happened? Why aren't we all spinning our Story of Kate vinyls right now? In this two part series-within-a-series, I will explore just that - as always, in depth.

    In 2004, after taking off from *NSYNC megastardom and spending over a year writing, JC released his one and only solo album: Schizophrenic. Ignore the name, let's focus on the content: a gripping, honest, diverse mixture of whatever musical style JC wanted to try that day, in the studio with his buddies. Rather than take advice from his label, Jive Records, JC went in his own direction. This resulted in one of the unique and, in my opinion, one of the best albums of the time. Not everyone seemed to think so, though, the album received mixed reviews and did not perform well on the charts. It could have done a lot better, though, if not for an unfortunate combination of events that I'm here to break down for you.
