Pope Francis came out recently & said: "Sins of the flesh are not the most serious,”... A motto that 'Just-say-yes Nancy' Reagan once subscribed to allegedly as the former 1st lady's prowess as an elite Hollywood fellatio specialist made headlines this week. It all started when Ben Shapiro's sister posted a tweet comparing Reagan to famed pop singer Madonna in an attempt to slut shame the singer for posting provocative photos to Instagram.

Oprah Winfrey is a media icon, self-made multibillionaire and one of the most honorable divas of our time. She seized authority and power in a white straight male dominated world through her own hard work and talent, without needing the approval of white straight men. Obviously this is a recipe for nasty criticism and diva accusations... and obviously we stan. Accompanied by writer and pop culture expert Mariah Smith, we talk about Oprah's incredible career, her best diva moments, and what everyone fails to understand about the queen of media. We also dissect Kitty Kelley's controversial book about Ms. Winfrey. Follow Mariah at @mriah on Twitter and @mariahmariahmariah on Instagram. Hosted by Molly Mulshine.

"FRANKENANCY," the comedy audio by Loose Bruce Kerr, about Frank Sinatra & Nancy Reagan, was inspired by Kitty Kelley's book about Nancy Reagan in 1991. It tells the story of the rumored romance between those 2, using snippets of Frank Sinatra recordings to tell the story via a mock interview format. At the time, the montage received airplay on several major networks and nationally affiliated radio programs like the Dr. Demento Show and Jim Bohannon Show. Bruce received a nice thank you card note from Kitty Kelley (see picture). Loose Bruce Kerr is a songwriter, performer, and music producer living in Northern California. A native of Waukesha, Wisconsin, Bruce took 20 years off from his legal career to tour the country and the Caribbean, performing as a solo, in a duo with Steve Hoeft, or in his band in New England, "Spud City." Following that 20 year span, Bruce resumed his legal career and now is a lawyer working for Oracle in Silicon Valley. His songs & videos can be heard & viewed on youtube and here on loosebrucekerr.com. His latest original audio recordings are available only on iTunes & cdbaby.com. Back in the day, Bruce opened for "Weird Al" Yankovic. He is an irregular performer on the Dr. Demento Show on the internet, and Jim Bohannon Show on nationally syndicated AM radio. email: BKerrLaw@aol.com  

What a fun interview this was! What is it about the Kennedy's that still intrigues the world? Was it their presidency, their, lineage, the drama, the 1960's, the world at the time? What was it? What is it? Kitty Kelley's good friend and photographer Stanley Tretick captured it all. He shot many of the most memorable private photos of the Kennedy's and their children. Such as the one of little John John peering out from beneath his father's desk. Or the one of Caroline wearing sunglasses and holding up a photo of her daddy. Kitty shares all the behind the scenes stories of the classic photos contained in this book, 200 in total.

When she emerged triumphant in a legal battle with the Texas beef industry, Oprah Winfrey took to the steps of the Amarillo court house and declared: “Free speech rocks!” She was likely a little less enthusiastic about the First Amendment following the publication of Kitty Kelley‘s unauthorized book Oprah: A Biography, which is now out in paperback. The match-up of the daytime television queen and the unauthorized biographer, Kitty Kelley, is one for the ages. The author of eight books– five of them New York Times number one bestsellers, all of them about living people and none of them authorized– Kelley has spent thirty years writing unflinchingly candid accounts of the most influential celebrities of our age. Even the New Yorker allowed that “A Kitty Kelley biography of Oprah Winfrey is one of those King Kong vs. Godzilla events in celebrity culture.” With the help of over 800 interviews and four years of research, she provides an insightful analysis of Winfrey's cultural significance, as an African-American woman and a survivor of sexual abuse. But, perhaps the biggest contribution of Oprah: A Biography is that it picks away at the seemingly impenetrable persona Winfrey has presented and paints a nuanced portrait of a woman far more complicated, ambitious and interesting than the one seen on TV.
