This week, Tommy is joined by actress Tiffani Thiessen, who you know and love as Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell and Valerie Malone on Beverly Hills, 90210. Now, she’s channeling her inner witch in Coven Academy. In this episode, Tiffani opens up about what she wishes she’d known early in her career, the moment she realized Saved by the Bell was becoming a massive hit, and why she was drawn to playing Valerie after years as Kelly. She reflects on growing up as a working actress, the role she didn’t get that broke her heart, and how she’s learned to handle rejection. She also shares how Coven Academy challenged her, whether she’d want her kids to become actors, how she turned her love of cooking into a business, how fame has changed since the ’90s, why you should always eat the bread, and so much more. And don’t miss Tiffani's mini rapid-fire “Hot Takes & Hangouts” interview, our part 2 to this conversation where she’s answering burning fan questions, dropping Thursday, October 1!

On this episode of The Roundtable, we're examining the devastating fallout left in the wake of major celebrity scandals, exploring what we call the blast radius of fame, and asking a much larger question about modern media: when high-stakes public controversies erupt, why are the publicists, partners, and children caught in a star's orbit always the ones who absorb the most destructive blow?We begin with the shocking aftermath of the legal war surrounding the film It Ends with Us, where Blake Lively officially severed ties with her powerhouse publicist of more than two decades, Leslie Sloane. Following Justin Baldoni's retaliatory four-hundred-million-dollar defamation countersuit against Lively and Sloane's firm, both sides ultimately walked away with an out-of-court settlement of just four hundred thousand dollars—despite burning through an estimated sixty million dollars in combined legal fees. We dissect the brutal mechanics of corporate litigation in Hollywood, exploring why elite crisis PR firms operate under attorney-client privilege and why even foundational twenty-year professional relationships are treated as expendable casualties when an A-list brand requires corporate restructuring.Then we examine the bizarre financial wreckage of early reality television following revelations from The Real Housewives of New York City newcomer Hailey Glassman, who revealed she personally lent eighty-eight thousand dollars to Jon Gosselin to cover his court-mandated child support during his bitter divorce from Kate Gosselin. We look back at the origins of Jon & Kate Plus 8, unpacking the severe liquidity crises that happen when marital assets are frozen in family court while production networks continue to broadcast private dysfunction. We analyze the calculated timing behind Glassman resurrecting a seventeen-year-old loan to boost her television relevancy, exploring how reality personalities weaponize past entanglements as currency for current storylines.From there, we turn to the deepest human cost of that docuseries boom, looking at Collin Gosselin's forthcoming memoir, In the Shadow of Eight, and his harrowing claims regarding his childhood and institutionalization. We break down the historic lack of legal protections for reality television children—who were denied the financial trust safeguards and strict labor caps provided to scripted child actors under the Coogan Act—illustrating how networks and parents built empires on the backs of toddlers while leaving the kids to absorb the lifelong psychological fallout once the cameras stopped rolling.Finally, we dive into the deeply sobering updates regarding Perez Hilton, who recently reunited with his three children for supervised visits while receiving residential psychiatric care following his live-streamed crisis. We examine the stark reality of the modern influencer economy, analyzing the fundraiser launched by family friends to support his mother and children, and confronting the financial precarity of digital creators whose livelihoods rely entirely on daily algorithmic relevance without the union safety nets, syndication residuals, or pensions of traditional entertainment.Throughout the episode, one compelling question connects every part of these disparate stories: as an audience culturally conditioned to fixate solely on the celebrity at the center of the explosion, why do we consistently look away from the innocent people left standing in the shrapnel zone?Pull up a chair… the conversation about celebrity fallout, financial attrition, collateral damage, and what really happens behind the headlines starts now.Disclosure: This episode of the 'Roundtable' series incorporates AI-assisted technology in its creation and production.Executive Produced by Georgio Takounakis and 711 Media Hosted on Acast.

Join hosts Stacy, Scott, D, and special guest comedian Blaq Ron (2018 HBO ABFF Comedy Wings Grand Champion and writer for MTV's Wild 'N Out) for an insightful, hilarious deep dive into 90s music, films, and pop culture.   In this episode, the crew kicks off with the origin story behind Stacy's iconic "Witty Hutton" T-shirt before diving into 90s cinema and gender dynamics. Blaq Ron breaks down the concept of "epigenesis," re-evaluates Michael Beach's infamous character roles in Waiting to Exhale and Soul Food, and compares modern "Passport Bros" to How Stella Got Her Groove Back.   The conversation then shifts to the bootleg CD era, remembering Napster, burned CDs, and how underground classics like Cell's "It's Goin' Down" moved culture without traditional sales figures. Later in the show, the crew reacts to Jay-Z's commentary on the Tupac and Biggie feud in his HBO documentary series with Rick Rubin, addresses the critiques surrounding Nia Long's Hollywood Walk of Fame star, unpacks Joe Jackson's hidden daughter Joh'Vonnie Jackson, and reflects on the rise, industry pressure, and legacy of Boyz II Men.  Chapters 0:00 Stacy's "Witty Hutton" T-Shirt Origin Story 2:30 Comedian Blaq Ron Explains "Epigenesis" & Language 8:23 Gender Dynamics in 90s Cinema: Michael Beach & Waiting to Exhale 15:24 Passport Bros vs. How Stella Got Her Groove Back 24:02 The Bootleg Era: Napster, Barbershop CDs & Cell's "It's Goin' Down" 29:27 Jay-Z's HBO Doc: Unpacking the Tupac & Biggie Feud Narrative 41:12 90s Nostalgic TV: Mama's Family, MASH* & Cultural Shifts 46:04 Michael J.

The summer of covers was supposed to be over, so of course our first song of the fall is a cover. This time we brought along Jake Behrens from Fair Weather Enemy to join us to talk about Arson and Tom Petty as we cover the song "Won't Back Down" from the 2009 album Fame, Fortune, and Fornication.

This is Episode 3 of a special six-part Jane Austen series, sponsored throughout by Strictly Jane Austen. When we picture Jane Austen's world, most of us aren't actually picturing Hampshire in 1810 — we're picturing a television program. Colin Firth striding out of a lake. Keira Knightley on a windswept crag. A proposal in the pouring rain in front of a domed temple. The great screen adaptations gave Austen's imagined places real addresses, and this episode maps them out house by house. Jonathan Thomas is joined by Dr. Gabrielle Malcolm — author, leading expert on Austen fan culture and literary tourism, and creative director at Strictly Jane Austen — who has interviewed the people who actually made the 1995 Pride and Prejudice and knows exactly which door is which. They cover why 1995 changed everything (before it, every adaptation was studio-bound), Simon Langton's instruction to "throw open the drawing room doors," and the hierarchy of houses the production had to find: Luckington Court as Longbourn, Edgcote House as Netherfield, Lyme Park and Sudbury Hall as Pemberley, and the village of Lacock as Meryton. Along the way: the message Susannah Harker sent Gabrielle about the summer of 1994; the choreographer who poured Coca-Cola on Edgcote's polished floors so the cast wouldn't slip; the truth about who actually dived into that lake, and where the underwater shots were really filmed; why Chatsworth is arguably too grand even for Mr. Darcy; the Wilton Diptych and how Wilton House saved it; Stourhead's Arcadian fantasy gardens; and Barton Cottage on the Flete Estate in South Devon, with a five-bedroom "cottage," only two servants, and a Ferrars family named after a nearby Devon village. Most usefully of all, Gabrielle explains which of these places you can actually get into, which ones you can only nose around on an estate agent's website, and how to string the best of them together into one Wiltshire trip.

JANA Partners is pushing Six Flags to explore a sale again, according to The Wall Street Journal. It's JANA's second push this year, but this time there's no public letter and no statement from Six Flags. JANA pointed to disappointing second-quarter results, and Philip thinks interest rates explain the timing. About $1.48 billion of Six Flags' roughly $5 billion in debt has a variable rate, so the Fed's September hike adds about $4 million a year in interest, and each bond that comes due will likely be refinanced at a higher rate. That debt also makes a sale harder, because any buyer is mostly buying the debt.Meanwhile, three more riders have sued Six Flags Magic Mountain over brain injuries they say they suffered on X2, and their law firm says more than 100 others have hired it. The complaints allege fraudulent concealment, claiming the park kept running the ride after learning of injuries. None of it has been proven, but the story keeps getting worse for Six Flags.Enchanted Parks is running Halloween at all six of its parks, including its first season at the parks it bought from Six Flags. Every park has a daytime family event, four add haunted houses at night for an extra fee, and all of them offer allergy-safe trick-or-treating. Running both formats in a transition year lets the new owner see which one pays.Finally, five Six Flags parks made the top 10 of a Stasher study of America's most overrated attractions, with Great Adventure at number two. The Hollywood Walk of Fame ranked first and Plymouth Rock third, so take the list with a grain of salt.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Alex Stewart is back with me for a very unserious-serious conversation about fame, attention, impact, personal branding, and why the language you use can completely change how people perceive your work. We get into: * fame vs. attention and why the words we use change people's perception * how to make your personal brand more commercially appealing without watering down what makes it interesting * Mormonism, creativity, achievement, and why Utah produces so many artists and performers * pop culture, celebrity conspiracy theories, and my truly concerning lack of movie knowledge * Lucille Ball, *I Love Lucy*, creative innovation, and betting on your own ideas when gatekeepers say no If you're ready to become the next big thing and want to work with me directly to become a Self-Made Celebrity, apply [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe79UrAQVDKQgnNAR6S816zwmGeKRBMeioAXWzwGNO0ZlUE5g/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=105479472736730256395).

Luke Storey on loneliness, recovery, integrity, and writing A Horse Named Lonesome Luke Storey joins Graham Dunlop and Darren Grimes for a wide-ranging conversation about his new book, A Horse Named Lonesome, and the deeper themes behind it: relational loneliness, addiction recovery, spirituality, and what it means to live with integrity. The discussion also turns into a practical and philosophical look at how modern life, social media, and public identity can either deepen or dilute real human connection.   This episode matters because it connects personal healing to a broader cultural problem. Luke, Graham, and Darren each bring their own experience with sobriety, transformation, and public-facing work, making this more than a book chat—it becomes a candid conversation about connection, attention, and staying aligned in a noisy world.   Key topics Luke explains that A Horse Named Lonesomeis about relational loneliness and existential separation, and that the book is built as a memoir-based transformational guide. He shares how the book came from a spiritual realization that his original motives were too self-serving, and how a deeper desire to help people made the writing process click. The conversation digs into why books still matter in an age of transient digital media—as a permanent record, a slower form of wisdom, and a medium people return to repeatedly. Luke describes how his own story runs through the book, including birth trauma, isolation, addiction, and the practices and teachings he derived from those experiences. Graham relates his own struggle to turn a recovery story into a book, moving from a vague "program" idea toward a memoir structure, and feeling stuck in the editing and motivation stages. Darren contrasts his own nonfiction-style books with memoir writing, noting that a focused information book is easier than writing about your own life. Luke opens up about addiction beyond alcohol, including nicotine, coca leaf, and ambil, and how dependency can show up in many forms, from substances to habits and spending. A major theme is the challenge of public life: Luke talks about the loneliness of being seen, the weirdness of being recognized, and how fame can make it hard to know who is sincere. The group explores how the modern world creates a fake version of connection through phones and social media, while genuine intimacy requires physical presence, discernment, and effort. The conversation moves into integrity, "selling out," and why Luke refuses deals or promotions that would damage his self-respect, even if they offered short-term gain. Luke and the hosts connect loneliness to the current cultural moment, including polarization, post-COVID social distrust, and the feeling that many people are less willing to face uncomfortable truths. The episode closes on a spiritual note: Luke frames loneliness and separation as a case of mistaken identity, arguing that we are not just bodies or personas but expressions of something larger.

“Stop acting so proud and haughty! Don’t speak with such arrogance! For the Lord is a God who knows what you have done; he will judge your actions.” (1 Samuel 2:3 NLT) Long ago, when prognosticators and science fiction writers envisioned life in the twenty-first century, few anticipated the outsize role that a culture-wide sense of entitlement would play. And by “a sense of entitlement,” I mean the idea that you don’t have to work hard and that everything should be given to you because you’re so wonderful. I was born in the generation known as the Baby Boomers. My generation thought the problem with the world was low self-esteem. As a result, a lot of emphasis was given to, and a lot of money was spent on, the self-esteem movement. That started the snowball effect. The downhill slope has led to our current influencer culture, where self-esteem has curdled into narcissism. Millions of people now believe that even their most trivial thoughts and actions are worthy of being documented on video and shared with the world. Exposure, fame, and social media clout have become currency. People who have those things celebrate their “wealth” with jaw-dropping displays of entitlement. Because their social reach is so enormous, this sense of entitlement has become normalized in younger generations—and among older generations as well. People expect to be rewarded, celebrated, and admired regardless of their performance. This trend doesn’t bode well for the future. God’s Word makes it clear that a sense of entitlement has no place in our relationship with the Lord. First Samuel 2:3 says, “Stop acting so proud and haughty! Don’t speak with such arrogance! For the Lord is a God who knows what you have done; he will judge your actions” (NLT). The apostle Paul wrote, “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too” (Philippians 2:3–4 NLT). He also wrote, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2 NLT). And therein lies the key to “disentitling” ourselves. Our number one goal must be to know God and then to find His plan and purpose for our lives. This is the only foundation strong enough for our future. Fame is fleeting. The public’s attitude is fickle. Entitlement is an illusion. Only God’s plan and purpose will last. They must be our priority. The good news is that God will work His plan and purpose in the life of anyone who asks Him to. All we have to do is humbly approach Him, admit that our efforts aren’t enough, and ask Him to guide us. He offers a 24/7 helpline through prayer and His Word. We have nothing to lose but our uncertainty and entitlement by aligning our goals with God and entrusting our future to Him.

“No one teaches you how to be famous.”Xavi Simons  From being a young football sensation in the spotlight to navigating family, fame, setbacks and the weight of expectations, Xavi Simons joins The Pivot for an honest conversation about the journey behind the player. Xavi opens up about growing up with the world watching, finding his identity beyond the hype, and the family and people who helped shape him along the way.

He takes us inside the difficult decision to leave Barcelona's academy at just 16, walking away from the club where he grew up and beginning a new chapter that would ultimately shape his career.

Fame came early. The setbacks came too. Now Xavi Simons is writing the next chapter of his story. Full Episode streaming now on Netflix. Learn more about your ad choices.
