I have to say that I was genuinely moved by Brian Kennedy's recent appearance on RTE's Dancing with the Stars. In the last few years Brian has really been through the ringer - he has had cancer, a massive heart attack, and quadruple bypass surgery. He literally had to learn how to walk again three times after surgery – and then he goes dancing on national television. That takes guts and resilience and a whole lot of positive mental attitude, and I found him so inspiring to watch.Brian has an incredible life story – raised on the Falls Road in Belfast at the height of the troubles, Brian had a difficult, even traumatic childhood. But he went on to forge a very successful music career, performing in venues like Madison Square Gardens with legends like Van Morrison. He has represented Ireland at the Eurovision, sang at George Best's funeral, and was a coach on The Voice of Ireland. Brian is also a great storyteller and serious craic, as you're about to hear.COMEDY - Lots of people enjoyed listening to financial planner Eoin McGee on the last episode, but now they all reckon they've got great money advice to share. too. Check out some of the message's we've been getting from the great and the good. Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

In today’s Nina’s What’s Trending, we’re diving into the surprising controversy at the Winter Olympics—why are medals breaking… and why can’t athletes keep them if they do?
(airdate: 2.11.26) Robert Irwin is sparking reality-TV rumors while staying true to his wild roots. After winning Dancing with the Stars, he was asked if he might someday lead The Bachelor — and he didn't rule it out, teasing "never say never," though he stresses his real passion remains animal conservation, not roses and limo entrances. Meanwhile, Tori Spelling got candid about life in her home. On her podcast, a cohost called her living space "borderline hoarder," noting clutter and even a Christmas tree still standing. Spelling admits she's stopped having guests over and wants help getting organized. And in a Super Bowl twist, dozens of performers at Bad Bunny's halftime show weren't set décor — they were the decor. Around 500 people dressed as bushes and grass to bring the stage to life, earning about $18.70 an hour and wearing heavy costumes for rehearsals and game day in Santa Clara. Voted 6th Best Entertainment News Podcast! Because being #1 is soooo overrated.

Watching Sunday’s NFL title game has become one of my least favorite major sports events of the year. You must credit the NFL for making fans wait for two full weeks for the season finale to be played. This brilliant marketing move allows word-of-mouth to spread to the once-per-year viewers who just show-up to watch the commercials and enjoy a party. Those of us season-long football fans are ready to get this final game of the year over with. The pro football season continues to be stretched out longer and longer. Rest assured that football season will eventually shrink if demand falls. The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots had exceptional regular seasons with identical 14-3 records. Unfortunately for Patriots fans, their favorite team’s offense was as cold as the weather back east in Boston last weekend. Seattle toyed with New England throughout the first half like a kitten batting around a ball of yarn. A 3-0 first quarter Seattle lead became an equally boring 9-0 halftime advantage for the Seahawks. Sunday’s third quarter likely put many to sleep. Seattle’s kicker Jason Myers added his fourth field goal of the game. Wowee! It was 12-0 heading into the final 15 minutes of the NFL season. At least New England punter Bryce Barringer had the chance to say “Hi, Mom!” as he punted an incredible eight times in the first three quarters. This game was played in perfect weather conditions in Santa Clara, California. Yawn. Some of us tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists put forth that the NFL has exposed a rather interesting “fourth quarter” trend. Nearly every playoff game played this season had an explosion of points coming in the fourth quarter of play. Why has that been happening? Sunday’s season finale was no exception. This game’s final quarter produced (gasp!) 30 points between these two sleepy combatants. Seattle was never in jeopardy of losing the lead during the final quarter. The Seahawks completed a touchdown pass to open-up a 19-0 lead on the hapless Patriots. New England’s passing game finally awakened long enough to produce two late touchdowns after this game was effectively over. Final score: Seattle 29, New England 13 Seattle’s “Dark Side Defense” deserved the MVP The Seahawks’ defense appeared to know New England’s offensive playbook as well as the Patriots did. Blitz after blitz sacked New England’s 23-year old second year quarterback Drake Maye. He was taken down six times, hurried on nearly every throw, had two interceptions, and lost a critical fumble. Seattle’s defense literally threw the kitchen sink at Drake Maye on Sunday. They suffocated New England’s running game, too. The team’s quarterback ran for his life for 37 yards to lead all New England rushers Sunday evening. Seahawks’ running back Kenneth Walker III had a tremendous game with 135 yards on the ground. His backfield dance moves should earn him an invitation to the next season of “Dancing with the Stars”. Walker’s running ability provided some of the only excitement during the first three quarters of this rather boring football game. Walker received the game’s MVP award. It’s a shame that the Seattle defense couldn’t receive this award as a group. New England Patriots – Were they simply lucky to have made it this far? Many are pointing out that New England’s 2025 regular season schedule was loaded with weaker teams. The Patriots played 12 of their 17 regular season games against teams which would post a losing record in 2025. New England finished with a stellar 14-3 record after going 4-13 just a year ago. The Patriots’ excellent defense carried this team into the NFL title game. New England allowed just three points (at home vs. the Chargers), 16 points (home vs. the Texans) and only seven at Denver in three playoff games leading up to Sunday’s NFL title game. This year’s group of AFC playoff teams were, being generous, offensively-challenged. Top-seeded Denver’s defense carried the Broncos all season long. The Houston Texans had a terrific year – on defense. Jacksonville’s surprising season was also led by a better-than-expected defense. It didn’t matter which team emerged from the AFC to face Seattle on Sunday. The Seahawks had a defense capable of clobbering any AFC contender this year and just enough offense to win. That was Seattle’s simple recipe for victory all season long. Is Seattle a dynasty in the making or was this just one great season? Don’t forget that the Los Angeles Rams gave the Seattle Seahawks a run for the NFC West title all year long. The banged-up San Francisco 49ers also gave the Seahawks and the Rams a run for the money. All three NFC West competitors made it into the second round of the playoffs. Seattle finished 14-3 in the regular season. They played just eight teams with losing records this year. The Seahawks’ defense was already considered top notch. The offense, though, surprised many with an improved performance in 2025. Seattle scored less than 20 points in only three of 20 total games this season. The Seahawks’ eighth-ranked offense developed into a perfect complement to the NFL’s top-rated defense. A number of Seahawks players will want more money to stick around for next season. Assuming they will lose a few to players to free agency, the nucleus of this team is still young and talented. Coach Mike Macdonald’s magic with this team is much like college football’s Indiana Hoosiers under coach Curt Cignetti. Macdonald’s Seattle Seahawks always seemed better prepared for games than their opponents. Yes, Seattle should be a force in the NFL again next season – assuming that they remain relatively injury free. Sunday’s commercials didn’t move my meter. How about you? The commercials for Sunday’s game ran $8 million per 30-second ad. I challenge you to point to one specific commercial which will move you to purchase that company’s product this week. A national newspaper just published its annual ranking of these expensive ads. The beer commercial featuring a horse saving a baby bird (which turned out to be an American eagle) flew into the top spot. Will it sell any more beer this week or simply convince 100 million people that this particular beer maker is more patriotic than its competitors? A potato chip maker’s tearjerker ad showing an aging farmer handing over the keys of his farm equipment to his daughter captured second place. It was a very nice spot, but I doubt millions will drop an extra bag of the company’s $5 potato chips into their grocery cart this week. The bronze medal winner featured an iconic polar bear (long representing the top cola maker) coming to grips that his major competitor’s new sugar-free cola actually tastes better. Will millions now check-out the taste of the polar bear’s new favorite soft drink? Doubtful. I wanted to like the Neil Diamond imitator singing a knock-off of “Sweet Caroline” as he sprayed mayo onto sandwiches inside of a cafe. The commercial’s ending was just a bit weird. My “creepy-but-effective” commercials award went to an AI developer. Their commercials all began with a person asking AI for advice. A computer generated character then provided a cringy answer and suddenly morphed into an unexpected product sales pitch. Effective, but who’s buying their product? My thoughts on the 30-minute halftime show? I haven’t watched it in decades Did you know that the NFL’s “big game” primarily featured college marching bands beginning in 1967 for ten years until mid-1970’s? A wholesome singing group known as “Up with People” was featured five times over the next ten years as the primary halftime entertainment. Even us younger viewers (at the time) cringed. The year 1991 brought “New Kids on the Block” as the first pop-oriented group performing at halftime. Michael Jackson’s 1993 appearance officially solidified the change to one primary performer for future halftime shows. Major popular artists like Diana Ross, Aerosmith, Paul McCartney, and the Rolling Stones would appear over the next ten years. The last 20 years has produced younger artists to help attract that demographic to the annual football extravaganza. This year’s halftime show featured a polarizing performer who became the first to sing a halftime show entirely in Spanish. Many liked the show. Some didn’t and changed the channel. I didn’t watch the halftime show (as usual) in order to grab a snack and check my email. Happy trails to you, football! Adios to college and pro football for another season. The Indiana Hoosiers and Seattle Seahawks were deserving champions this year. Though some of us will be tempted to watch a game or two of spring football in a few months, America’s most popular sport needs to hibernate until next fall. Less truly is best.

In the early twentieth century, American ragtime and the Parisian tango fuelled a dancing craze in Britain. Public ballrooms were built throughout the country, providing a glamorous setting for dancing. The new English style, defined in the 1920s and followed by the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the 1930s, ensured that ballroom dancing continued to be the most popular British pastime until the 1960s, rivalled only by cinema. Ballroom: A People's History of Dancing (Reaktion, 2022) by Dr. Hilary French explores the vibrant history of ballroom and Latin dancing: the dances, lavish venues, competitions and influential instructors. It also traces the decline of couple dancing and its resurgence in recent years with the hugely popular TV shows Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Interview Date: December 14th, 2025.In this episode of Business of Dance, Menina sits down with veteran performer and powerhouse industry staple Sarah Mitchell, who joins the conversation nine months pregnant and still glowing (literally). Sarah takes us back to her beginnings in Western Massachusetts—starting dance at two-and-a-half, falling in love with NYC after seeing the Rockettes at age nine, and boldly moving to New York City with limited money but unstoppable determination. From becoming a Patriots cheerleader in high school (and earning a Super Bowl ring) to landing the Knicks City Dancers through a Good Morning America public vote, Sarah breaks down how dance teams can be a career-launching network, training ground, and built-in community for dancers moving to major markets.Sarah shares a full-circle story that shaped her career: after moving to LA with no plan besides “I have to be here,” she booked American Gladiators—only for the dance cast to be cut. That “loss” led directly to her booking a Jell-O commercial, meeting Jerry Slaughter, and soon finding herself dancing with Christina Aguilera—the same artist she once watched from the audience dreaming of being on stage. From there, the episode dives into Sarah's long-running work with major artists and productions, including Christina Aguilera (spanning roughly 2007/2008 to 2024), Britney Spears' Vegas residency, Burlesque, and the realities of auditioning, touring, and navigating the emotional highs and lows of a freelance performance career—especially as life expands into marriage and motherhood.Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome(7:01) – Full intro: Sarah Mitchell's career highlights(11:40) – Early beginnings: Western MA, Rockettes inspiration(12:30) – Patriots cheerleaders, Super Bowl ring, early confidence(13:17) – Knicks City Dancers + Good Morning America vote(17:01) – Cross-country move to LA, starting from scratch(20:26) – American Gladiators canceled → pivotal career shift(22:28) – Booking Christina Aguilera through Jerry Slaughter(30:15) – Burlesque stories: doubles, endurance, golden time(50:37) – Q&A wisdom: preparation, mindset, longevity, balanceBiography:A dancer and choreographer with over 20 years of experience, Mitchell has toured and performed with artists such as Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, Pitbull and Dua Lipa.

Following his triumphant return to Dancing With The Stars and this week's Hollywood Squares, this marks Tom Bergeron's return to Game Changers. One of our first and most oft-recurring guests, Tom, remains one of my favorite humans. What a joy to spend time in his good company. We got the moment-to-moment behind the scenes of Tom's return to DWTS, with Tom and me, and I'm guessing most watching, getting emotional all over again. The response from the audience and all present for the taping of the 20th Anniversary Show was love and goosebumps all around. Tom recounted what caused his demise at the show, gave us info that the powers that be didn't have, his surprising reunion with Sean Spicer, his about-to-be reunion with Bobby Bones, and how Tom contributed to his returning his Mirrorball trophy, Tom's thoughts on the current hosts, the celebrities, and what he thinks about the current format. For my money, bring the guy back! Leaning young is one thing. No one has come close to being as entertaining. Tom also gave us the skinny on his Hollywood Squares reunion and how he at first led the contestant to defeat, ultimately bringing her to victory and getting his amazing Gilbert Gottfried impression in. He told us about his long relationship with Whoopi, rekindled recently on The View as if no time had passed, and a warning from dear friend, Carl Reiner, to be careful about Whoopi's beau. We touched on the current Reiner family horror and how fortunate Carl missed it. There were fabulous stories about his great friendship with “Bill” Shatner, Dick Van Dyke, Larry Fine, Moe Howard, his disastrous Emmy gig, his triumphant Emmy wins, and the ongoing philanthropy that led to the Critics' Choice Association awarding him the first Sam Rubin award. Tom's been pivotal in my world for the past 17 years. We touched on the when, where, and whys through the years. As with this show, all the ones before, and pretty much everything he's ever done, Tom's downright delightful, warm, and hysterically funny. It's impossible not to adore the man. In these insanely troubled times, Tom's the antidote. Tom Bergeron Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson Wednesday, 2/4/26, 5 PM PT/ 8 PM ET https://youtube.com/live/k5_GV2j-lHo

She reflects on watching Peta navigate postpartum life, back-to-back pregnancies, body changes as a dancer, miscarriages, and the balance of building an empire while never missing a moment for her kids. It's a powerful conversation about women giving other women their flowers — something we don't see enough of. We love that they have a new podcast together!We also dive into modern motherhood labels. Does Sharna consider herself a stay-at-home mom? She explains why she feels somewhere in the middle — working from home, juggling brand deals, judging DWTS Australia, acting in films, podcasting, and still being deeply present for her son Zane during these fleeting early years.Sharna gets real about raising boys with intention — teaching boundaries, respect, and empathy — and her mission to raise strong, kind gentlemen who treat women well. She shares how she and Brian Austin Green are raising a blended family, setting clear expectations, and teaching their kids the power of the word “no.”Plus, she reveals exciting family updates:

In this week's episode I sat down with Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart. Daniel is a Deaf actor on stage and screen. He is best known for his starring role as Leo Rossi in CODA, a film that garnered three Oscar Awards, including the top prize of Best Picture. He also starred in Deaf West's productions of Spring Awakening and Green Day's American Idiot and made it to the semifinals of Dancing With The Stars alongside his then dance partner, now wife, Britt Stewart. His ongoing work also includes co-leading acting workshops for Deaf students and interpreting in schools, serving as an acting teacher and coach for Deaf film camps as well as national speaking engagements for colleges and universities. Britt is a professional dancer, choreographer, and creative leader whose career blends artistry, impact and authenticity in the entertainment industry. Best known as a Pro dancer on Dancing With The Stars, she made history as the first Black female professional dancer on the show and has since made an impact with her presence. She uses her platform to inspire balance, self growth and connection. As president of non-profit organization, Share The Movement, she champions access, education and representation in dance.We discuss what Deaf representation looked like for Daniel growing up and why he decided to become an actor, Britt's dance journey that led her to the Dancing With The Star's ballroom, how they are both working to make their respective spaces in the entertainment industry more inclusive, their relationship and how they have made their world and their home more accessible and much, much more.For this conversation we were joined by ASL interpreter Justin Maurer.This episode was edited and produced by Ben Curwin.

This week, I'm sitting down with one of my favorites, Rachel Bilson, for a fun, honest, girl chat. From growing up in L.A. and sneaking into Hollywood clubs as a teenager to getting into trouble, Rachel shares how she somehow managed to stay grounded through it all. She talks about getting the partying out of her system early — long before the job that turned her into an early-2000s icon.We dive into that whole era of fame, including the harder parts: the public relationships, the headlines, and how they've made her censor herself today. Rachel opens up about dating now and what she's genuinely looking for — including whether marriage or more kids are still on the table.We break down co-parenting, her relationship patterns, and the surprising peace that comes from being completely content on your own. Rachel also shares the mindset she wishes she'd had in her 20s (and what she hopes younger women hear today).Plus, Rachel on Broadway, Dancing With the Stars, and the mom conversations we all have: wanting our kids to actually come to us in high school, and why she's holding off on giving her daughter a phone for as long as possible.A word from my sponsors:Armra - Go to armra.com/HONEST or enter HONEST to get 30% off your first subscription order.Bon Charge - Go to boncharge.com/HONEST and use coupon code HONEST to save 15%.Skims - Shop my favorite bras and underwear at http://www.skims.com/honest #skimspartnerRitual - For a limited time, save 40% on your first month at Ritual.com/BEHONEST.Hiya - Receive 50% off your first order.

Pop 3: Ashley Tisdale opened up in The Cut about feeling excluded from her once-close “village of moms,” a group fans quickly linked to Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor after Ashley unfollowed Hilary and Mandy on Instagram. While reps insist the article was not about them, Matthew Koma fueled the discourse with a viral Instagram story. Plus, NYE videos sparked rumors about Alix Earle and Tom Brady, though sources say nothing romantic happened. And reconciliation rumors surrounding Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky were quickly shut down. Deep Dive: the explosive The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City finale, where late-night texts, car confrontations, and razor-sharp reads turned concern into accusation. Meredith feels targeted, Bronwyn accuses her of collecting secrets, and the group struggles to define whether their behavior is rooted in care or projection. From the “Sisters of Salt” dynamic to Heather's increasingly polarizing role with the fandom, the episode exposes the slippery slope between recognizing red flags and projecting personal trauma onto someone else. The core question becomes clear: were these women trying to help Meredith, or pile on her? And the answer isn't the same for everyone. Final Thoughts: The Traitors Season 4 drops tonight with three episodes, and the cast is stacked: Donna Kelce, Mark Ballas, Dorinda, Candiace, Porsha, Lisa Rinna, Caroline, Rob Rausch, Rob Cesternino, Stephen Coletti, Colton Underwood, and more. If you've never watched, it's a psychological game of deception where a few secret Traitors “murder” Faithfuls while everyone scrambles to expose them. *Shop MPT Merch* ► https://shop.hurrdatmedia.com/collections/morgans-pop-talks *Listen to the podcast* ► https://hurrdatmedia.com/network/show/morgans-pop-talks/ *Join my Patreon* for exclusive minisodes each week! ► http://www.patreon.com/morganspoptalks for exclusive minisodes each week! *Subscribe to my weekly newsletter* for reminders, important links, and additional surprises! ► https://www.morganptalks.com/ *About Morgan's Pop Talks* Welcome to Morgan's Pop Talks – your weekly VIP pass into the world of reality TV and pop culture!

#908. This week on Off the Vine, Kaitlyn sits down with radio powerhouse Bobby Bones — and what starts as a conversation about success quickly turns into one of the most raw and unexpected episodes we've ever recorded.Bobby opens up about growing up with very young parents, childhood without money, and realizing early on that he was chasing love through performance. He shares deeply personal stories he hasn't told in years — including why vulnerability didn't feel safe, how success complicated trust, and an unexpected act of kindness that left him emotional for days.And yes… we go there on Dancing With the Stars! Bobby clears the air on the Mirrorball controversy, what was really happening behind the scenes, and reads a never-before-opened DM from Tom Bergeron for the first time on the podcast.We also get into identity, rejection, why Bobby has never had a sip of alcohol, the anxiety that still keeps him up at night, and an embarrassing childhood story that's both traumatic and hilarious.Trust us, you're going to want to hear this one!!If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!
