Podcast appearances and mentions of Miranda Lambert

Nikki Glaser kicks off the show with a birthday message for Rizz, which is probably the classiest thing that happens for the next 43 minutes. Because immediately after that, this comedy podcast gets back to the story everybody has questions about: the San Francisco 49ers owner getting busted in an alleged prostitution sting at a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.At 9:30 in the morning. On a Sunday.The crew tries to reverse-engineer exactly how somebody with hundreds of millions of dollars winds up in this situation. Was this the final stop of an all-night bender? Did he wake up Sunday morning ready to make terrible choices? How fast does an online prostitution appointment work? Apparently it's like checking into urgent care, except your insurance company has significantly more questions.That leads to an even more important investigation: how does a police department decide who goes undercover as the prostitute? Is getting picked flattering? Is not getting picked insulting? Somehow Miss Congeniality, ugly-character casting, Marla Hooch, Home Alone, Cry-Baby, Jonah Hill, Rebel Wilson and Johnny Depp all get dragged into the conversation.Then it's time to discuss the upcoming iPhone and whether spending around $1,200 on another rectangle that looks suspiciously like your current rectangle is still exciting. The show heads Back in the Day for anniversaries involving The Wizard of Oz, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Boston's legendary debut album, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah and more.Then Crap on Celebrities brings the pop-culture buffet nobody asked us to curate.ZZ Top plays its first show following the death of drummer Frank Beard, the crew attempts to demonstrate its vast knowledge of Quando Rondo, Ella Langley continues her monster chart run with “Choosing Texas,” and Miranda Lambert enters the conversation thanks to a songwriting story involving a kangaroo. Because sure.There's also a Wendy Williams documentary on the way, which naturally leads to revisiting her infamous Statue of Liberty fainting incident and several other moments from daytime television history. We get TV cancellations, Harry Potter casting talk, massive movie box-office numbers, and news that Paramount is developing a sequel to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.The Terminator 2 cast reunion also gets reviewed with all the tact and restraint you've come to expect from this comedy podcast. Edward Furlong gets some love, everybody realizes he was only 13 while filming the movie, and Rafe delivers the completely unnecessary observation that the reunion photo looks like “the future they were trying to prevent.”Then we meet celebrities who somehow function without smartphones. Christopher Walken doesn't have a cell phone or use email. Christopher Nolan prefers a landline. Elton John goes without a phone. Michael Cera uses an actual camera. Meanwhile, most of us get nervous if our battery drops below 30%.Birthdays follow, complete with Alexander Skarsgård, Jodi Messina, Claudia Schiffer, Tim Burton, Rob Halford, Gene Simmons, Tom Skerritt and a detour into the days when watching a really long movie required two VHS tapes. Children, ask your grandparents.And then Rafe's arm enters the chat.After roughly 30 weeks of allergy shots because he is apparently allergic to the entire planet, Rafe reveals that his weekly appointment came with a new threat: The Smelly Waiting Room Guy.This man's body odor was so aggressive that Rafe abandoned the waiting room and sat in the hallway despite being required to stick around after his shots. What follows is a full workplace-level investigation into human stink etiquette.When are you obligated to tell someone they smell? How does a manager have that conversation? Do you blame their shoes first? Can coworkers become “smell blind” to one another? What happens when you put perfume on top of funk and accidentally create an entirely new biological weapon?This comedy podcast finally reaches the conclusion society has apparently been afraid to admit: sometimes somebody just needs to tell you that you stink.No heroes. No lessons. Just onions.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Summer is basically over, the kids are back in school, and some of them returned home looking like they'd just completed a six-month combat deployment instead of one day of algebra. Naturally, that sends The Rizzuto Show down memory lane to discuss suspiciously easy senior-year schedules, bowling classes, walking classes, movie classes, and the beautiful teenage realization that maybe calculus simply isn't going to be part of your personal journey.NFL chaos with the story of 49ers owner Jed York and an alleged prostitution sting in East Palestine, Ohio. The crew tries to understand how a man connected to billions of dollars somehow ends up at the center of a $140 Sunday-morning situation in a mobile home community.A workplace prank involving heavy machinery that ended in tragedy. That leads into a rundown of some of the deadliest jobs in America, including logging, commercial fishing, roofing, steel work, trash collection, aviation, mining, construction, and landscaping. Suddenly sitting in a radio studio complaining about the air conditioning doesn't seem quite as heroic.And because The Rizzuto Show can never stay on one subject for more than the medically recommended amount of time, Fujifilm sends everybody tumbling into a conversation about words that instantly reveal your age. “Videotape.” “Pocketbook.” “Slacks.” “Icebox.” “Billfold.” “Filling station.” “Supper.” Welcome to the portion of the show where everyone discovers they're approximately 900 years old.Then it's time to discuss the upcoming iPhone and whether spending around $1,200 on another rectangle that looks suspiciously like your current rectangle is still exciting. The show heads Back in the Day for anniversaries involving The Wizard of Oz, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Boston's legendary debut album, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah and more.ZZ Top plays its first show following the death of drummer Frank Beard, the crew attempts to demonstrate its vast knowledge of Quando Rondo, Ella Langley continues her monster chart run with “Choosing Texas,” and Miranda Lambert enters the conversation thanks to a songwriting story involving a kangaroo.

Edward Furlong gets some love, everybody realizes he was only 13 while filming the movie, and Rafe delivers the completely unnecessary observation that the reunion photo looks like “the future they were trying to prevent.”Then the show turns to a frightening story out of Columbia, Missouri, where a 21-year-old former Mizzou student suffered severe injuries after falling from the rooftop area at Harpo's. The crew talks about what was known about the accident, the young man's condition, and their own experiences with Columbia's downtown, the Blue Note, Shakespeare's, old venues, King Scott's favorite Wal Mart and the college-town scene. It's a genuinely awful situation, and everybody's hoping the kid pulls through.And then Simpleton Trivia arrives to destroy everybody's self-esteem.The premise sounds insultingly easy: answer 10 common-knowledge questions in 45 seconds. Get one wrong and you're immediately done. Callers can either take the challenge themselves for two pairs of tickets or put their faith in somebody from The Rizzuto Show and bet on—or against—them.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.49ers owner Jed York pleads no contest to two misdemeanor charges in OhioMan crushed coworker's head while 'f---ing around' with tree-trimming machineryOne seemingly ordinary job has gotten much more deadly over the past 10 years, federal data showsFrench visitor dies in Death Valley National Park after becoming stranded on remote roadMount Fuji hiker leaves tired son, 7, behind to reach iconic summit: ‘Wait here'Former Chillicothe football player in critical condition after fall from Harpo's rooftop barSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us Fan MailIntro: The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert (#91)Album 20: Invented by Jimmy Eat World (2010)Song 1: My Best TheorySong 2: StopSong 3: LittlethingAlbum 19: The Hazards of Love by The Decemberists (2009)Song 1: The Hazards of Love 2Song 2: Annan WaterSong 3: The Hazards of Love 4How I Got This List:Recap: In 2007, I decided to make a list of my favorite 20 albums that year. The list included albums that I discovered that year and loved (whether they were new albums that were released that year or were older albums that were new discoveries for me). The list of my favorite albums that year became like a musical journal for me of what I spent that year listening to the most. The list that I made in 2007 inspired me to create lists for 1990-1999 and also 2000-2006 (to the best of my recollection). I have also made a list every year since then. I have previously counted down my 20 favorite albums from 1990-1999 (March 2024), 2000-2006 (April 2024), 2007 (Nov 2024), 2008 (Nov 2025), and 2009 (Feb 2026) - so go check those out if interested. I have featured some of these albums previously on my podcast, especially during my favorite Albums Countdown series that I did in 2021. 8 of the 20 albums on this list showed up on my Album Countdown; for comparison: my first list had 17, my second list had 13, my third list had 12, my fourth list had 14, and my fifth list had 15. 3 of the 15 albums on this 2010 list were in my Top 50 of my Albums ranking. Even though I have featured several of these albums previously on my podcast, I will not repeat any songs that have been played previously, so you will be getting fresh songs! Also, for this series, I am not going to consult any websites to talk about these albums, so no “research”. I'm just going to share what I remember about the album from that time and also maybe how I feel about it now. A quick word about my Album rankings: My original Top 250 Albums list was made at the beginning of 2021 (and counting down that list was the main reason I launched this podcast in March 2021). However, I did a complete overhaul of my rankings at the tail end of 2023. So I will mention both rankings at times. Also before we start, I want to briefly describe my process for preparing these episodes: For each album, I would listen to the songs again, narrowing them down to my three “current” favorites. Then I would listen to my three favorites again, jotting down anything that struck me.

In 2010 country singer Miranda Lambert recorded and released a song written by Tom Douglas and Allen Shamblin entitled “The House that Built Me”. It was a clever song as well as a moving one, playing on the notion that we build houses; houses do not build us. The point of the song, however, was that the house the singer once lived in did build her— i.e. it was responsible for the kind of girl she became. In the song, the singer confessed, “You leave home, you move on, and you do the best you can. I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am.”

Somehow this episode starts with Point Fest excitement and ends with Edward Furlong becoming a Japanese pop star… and honestly? That tracks for this show.The gang gears up for Point Fest with ticket giveaways, meet-and-greet plans, and what may become the worst idea in festival history: Rafe conducting porta potty interviews by sliding microphones under stall doors like a sewer goblin with broadcasting credentials. If you're attending Point Fest, congratulations — your bathroom anxiety just became part of the entertainment package.Then the crew dives headfirst into A&E's newest chaotic masterpiece: Squatters. Meet Flash Shelton — a real-life “professional squatter remover” who reclaims homes by becoming even more annoying than the people illegally living there. We're talking pet snakes, buckets of crickets, couch invasions, and psychological warfare that somehow got turned into prestige television. Honestly, this funny podcast may have found its spiritual successor.The show also breaks down St. Louis' giant July 4th celebration featuring Ludacris, Miranda Lambert, Zedd, Stephen Marley, and the one true king of soundtrack glory: Kenny freakin' Loggins. The crew debates whether Ludacris should censor his songs for families, whether America deserves a four-day weekend for turning 250, and why Moon is probably already camping out for Loggins.In music news, Lern unleashes opinions on the new Foo Fighters Tiny Desk performance, MGK's latest attempt at musical identity discovery, and Gene Simmons' massive Las Vegas rock expo that sounds like Comic-Con for dads with leather vests and tinnitus.And then… things get weird.Rafe introduces the room to a long-lost relic from the early '90s: Edward Furlong's Japanese pop music career. Yes, John Connor from Terminator 2 recorded an actual album. Yes, there's a music video. Yes, it's horrifying.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show somehow starts with Point Fest prep and immediately spirals into backyard snake warfare, accidental public humiliation, mysterious old-person injuries, and one of the most aggressively cursed philosophical questions we've ever discussed on this daily comedy show.Lern nearly sacrificed herself to save her indoor cat from a giant backyard snake while fully committed to the “reading Vogue magazines outside with no clothes on” lifestyle. The result? Her chest now looks like Freddy Krueger signed it after a rough night in Ellisville. Meanwhile, Rizz debates whether friendship includes letting people sleep at your house during Point Fest weekend, and honestly… the answer may legally classify him as emotionally unavailable.We also uncover what may be the dumbest Internet trend in human history: “ball maxing.” Yes, apparently some dudes are injecting saline into their anatomy to achieve “grapefruit aesthetics.” Because therapy was simply too obvious. The gang dives deep into body dysmorphia, masculinity, medical horror stories, and why nobody — literally nobody — is spending as much time thinking about your balls as you are.Rafe contributes nightmare fuel with stories about phantom testicular pain, forgotten Q-tips in public, and somehow manages to make all of us afraid of our own nervous systems. King Scott attempts solutions involving decorative ball coverings, which somehow only makes the conversation worse. Honestly, this episode should probably be studied by scientists trying to understand societal collapse.Then things somehow get philosophical.The crew tackles “The Red Button vs Blue Button Dilemma,” where humanity must secretly choose between saving everyone or guaranteeing their own survival. Turns out trust issues may be the defining feature of modern civilization. Some of us chose hope. Some chose survival. Some chose chaos. And one of us may absolutely be the reason civilization collapses.The gang gears up for Point Fest with ticket giveaways, meet-and-greet plans, and what may become the worst idea in festival history: Rafe conducting porta potty interviews by sliding microphones under stall doors like a sewer goblin with broadcasting credentials.

Matt and Michael return from two very different deserts. Vegas and Big Bend. One all lights and noise, the other all silence and heat. Matt shares what it meant to scatter his father's ashes in West Texas. Michael talks about the solitude of crowds. And somewhere around the forty minute mark, the conversation turns into something else entirely. What is AI actually for? What gets lost when we outsource struggle? Why do we need to be broken to become whole? And what happens to a culture that forgets the purpose of things? They land on teleology, the study of purpose itself. A knife only makes sense if you know it's meant to cut. So what are we meant for? And what happens when we stop asking? Cheers y'all

335 Tage ohne Sex: harte Zeiten (oder eben nicht?) für Kacey Musgraves, wie sie jüngst auf «Dry Spell», der ersten Single ihres siebten Albums, verrät. Die neue Platte ist eine Kurskorrektur: weg vom Pop, zurück Richtung Country – mit Gästen wie Miranda Lambert und Willie Nelson. Einziger Wermutstropfen: Ausser Lambert sind die Gäste – u. a. auch Gregory Alan Isakov oder Billy Strings – so tief im Mix oder so dezent eingesetzt, dass man sie kaum wahrnimmt. «Middle of Nowhere» ist das neue Sounds! Album der Woche. Vinyl? CDs? Haben wir beides! Gibt's zu gewinnen für euch – exklusiv, ein Mal pro Abend in unserer Livesendung.

Following a trip back to her Texas hometown, Musgraves imbued her new album with a traditional country sound, plus features from Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert and more.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

May-cember is here and we are all super busy! Knoxville is getting a professional softball team, and the team needs a name and mascots.

DL works through the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, reviewing four albums and four songs from entries #477–481 — and handing out scores along the way.Albums covered: Miranda Lambert's The Weight of These Wings (2016) gets an 8.7/10 — a genuine surprise, with DL arguing it's more Orville Peck than generic Nashville country. Selena's Amor Prohibido (1994) gets a 7/10, with praise for Los Dinos and the vocal performances but honest limits on Tejano expertise. Something Else by The Kinks (1967) gets a thoughtful take on a band that was the real rock stars of the '60s — even when they were chasing the Beatles. Howlin' Wolf's Moanin' in the Moonlight earns a 10/10 and a full Delta Blues sermon, with a side argument that it deserves to be ranked way higher than #487.Songs covered: "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie, "Oye Como Va" by Santana, "Back That Azz Up" by Juvenile, and "Our Lips Are Sealed" by the Go-Gos.Plus: the Radiohead solo episode series explained, listener questions on which Radiohead album to give Evil and Rachel as a gateway, and DL's current ranking with Howlin' Wolf sitting at #2 behind Arcade Fire's Funeral.Part of Verse Chorus Verse's ongoing Rolling Stone 500 album-by-album coverage.Rolling Stone 500,Miranda Lambert,Howlin Wolf,The Kinks,Selena,Biz Markie,Santana,album review,Delta Blues,country music,music podcast,Radiohead

Join Here:⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠Analytic Dreamz dives deep into Ella Langley's sophomore major-label album Dandelion, released April 10, 2026. This 18-track project arrives as the most talked-about country album of 2026 so far, debuting at #1 on iTunes as the most-downloaded release of the day and positioning itself as a strong contender for the Billboard 200. The album builds directly on the historic success of lead single “Choosin' Texas,” which spent 6+ non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100—surpassing Taylor Swift's record for the longest-running #1 by a female country artist—and 19-20 consecutive weeks atop Hot Country Songs. It became the first country song by a woman to simultaneously lead Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay, while also driving streaming dominance with 7 weeks at #1 on Streaming Songs and 26.6 million U.S. streams in one week alone. “Be Her” added to the momentum, jumping to #2 on Streaming Songs with 14.8 million weekly streams and helping Langley become the first female artist to hold #1 and #2 simultaneously on that chart with country songs. Dandelion blends traditional country nostalgia with modern songwriting clarity, drawing influences from Neil Young, Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson, Chris Stapleton, Patsy Cline, and more. Key collaborators include Miranda Lambert as co-writer on “Choosin' Texas,” co-producer of the album, and featured artist on “Butterfly Season.” The full tracklist features standout cuts like the title track, “We Know Us,” “Low Lights,” “Loving Life Again,” the Kitty Wells cover “It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels,” and bookend intros/outros of “Froggy Went A Courtin'.” Early critical reception highlights the album's emotional honesty, timeless storytelling, and peak Shania Twain-level vocal versatility, with reviewers calling Langley a nostalgist focused on songs built to last. The project signals a broader shift for women in country music, amid rising commercial and critical momentum for artists like Langley, Megan Moroney, and Lainey Wilson. Analytic Dreamz breaks down every segment of Dandelion, its record-breaking chart impact, musical style, and what this moment means for Ella Langley's career as a multi-genre force. Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Guitarist Andy Reiss joins me on the show today, the last full episode of Season 9! When I first moved to Nashville, I started going to see the Time Jumpers. They are an incredible band that plays western swing and classic country every Monday at 3rd & Lindsley. For quite a few years there, the band included Vince Gill, Paul Franklin, Ranger Doug, 3 incredible fiddle players, Dawn Sears on vocals, and Andy Reiss was always there, just calmly tackling every song, no matter how fast and crazy or slow and soulful. Usually playing elegant jazz/blues/bop licks on a Les Paul, or sometimes a 335. And while it was mind-bending to see everyone doing what they do, Andy was always a high point of any show for me. He's still doing that gig, as he has for over 20 years now. Andy started out in San Francisco, and made his way to Nashville around 1980, where he got to watch and work with a number of the original Nashville A-Team. Folks like Pete Drake, Harold Bradley, Bob Moore, Ray Edenton, and Pig Robbins. People that I know of as legends - Andy was around them from day 1 after moving here. He spent a good deal of time on the road with artists like Reba McIntyre and Slim Whitman, and has played on hundreds of records for artists like Miranda Lambert, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers and Leon Russell. He is truly one of the great guitar players in town, and has a deep knowledge of music, guitars and history. I also get to enjoy him up close and personal, since he now plays in my band The Volcano Brothers as well! Be sure to go and see Andy any time you're in Nashville.Enjoy my conversation with Andy Reiss.This season is brought to you by our main sponsors Larivée Guitars, Audeze, Izotope, FabFilter, and Chase Bliss.

Welcome to your daily comedy podcast, where absolutely nothing makes sense and we like it that way.Today's show kicks off with a story that nobody asked for but everyone will remember forever: a 73-year-old former born-again Christian reinventing herself as an escort named Busty Granny. She spent decades in prayer and celibacy, then hit 57, downloaded the internet, and said “oh… THIS is what we've been missing.” Now she's got clients young enough to still have homework and zero interest in OnlyFans because, quote, that sounds boring. Inspirational? Traumatizing? Both.Then we get into the most depressing career math of all time: a woman casually sings seven words into her phone for a Dr Pepper jingle and walks away with $2 million, while the rest of us are out here working full-time jobs and eating gas-station sandwiches. Naturally, this leads to the crew trying to invent jingles for every brand that will absolutely never call back.Somehow that spirals into one of the most fun debates we've had in a while — the biggest debut albums of all time. We're talking massive numbers, MTV miracles, and how one 4am spin turned a “failed” album into a 50-million-copy monster. Along the way we argue, forget basic facts, remember them loudly, and realize radio used to be way more powerful than TikTok will ever admit.Movies get dragged (respectfully… mostly), Brendan Fraser gets the comeback love he deserves, and we debate whether seeing a movie in a theater automatically adds two letter grades just because popcorn exists.In Crap on Celebrities, we hit everything from band lawsuits and surprise documentaries to tour dropouts, concert ticket chaos, and some genuinely heartbreaking but honest conversations about aging, memory, and how terrifying it is to not know what's happening inside your own brain.We also celebrate birthdays, overshare existential dread, and somehow end the show discussing a literal geyser of poop water blasting into the Potomac River — because if we're going to spiral, we're doing it together.It's another daily comedy podcast episode packed with weird news, pop culture, dark laughs, and moments where we all pause and go, “Wait… are we okay?”Spoiler: probably not. But at least we're funny.MUSICMotley Crue has officially won its heated legal battle against former guitarist Mick Mars. Lainey Wilson sure has kept herself busy. It was just announced that Netflix has officially acquired the new documentary "Lainey Wilson: Keepin' Country Cool". It drops on April 22nd. Two more artists have dropped out of the 2026 Rock the Country Festival. Morgan Wade and Carter Faith are no longer part of the lineup. And neither artist has shared an official reason for stepping away. Their exit comes just days after Ludacris also dropped out. His team called his original booking a "mix-up." The festival is headlined by Kid Rock and will feature Jason Aldean, Jelly Roll, Miranda Lambert, and more.In other Kid Rock News – he went to Congress to confront an issue we're all united on: How much Ticketmaster and Live Nation charge for shows. Quick Hits:Post Malone, Andrew Watt, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, and Slash will perform a special tribute to Ozzy Osbourne during the Grammys on Sunday night.Jack White posted a video showing off the next Third Man Vault package, Jimi Hendrix's Valley of the Jams 1969-1970. Check it out on Instagram.Tom Morello and Rise Against will headline A Concert of Solidarity & Resistance to Defend Minnesota Friday at noon at First Avenue in Minneapolis. TVThe fourth season of Ted Lasso is set to debut this summer. Stephen Colbert announced on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" that the final episode of "The Late Show" will air on Thursday, May 21. MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS:Matthew Lillard recently caught a stray from Quentin Tarantino when he said he didn't care for him. But that resulted in an outpouring of love that made Matthew feel like he was living through his own wake. Actress and producer Patricia Schneider has filed for divorce from Rob Schneider, describing their 15-year marriage as "irretrievably broken" with no chance of reconciliation. Bill Cosby has admitted under oath that he obtained prescriptions for Quaaludes specifically to give to women. Bruce Willis' wife, Emma says Bruce is unaware of his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis.AND FINALLYHere are five of the BEST:1. Jack Black: "I was begging my boss for an extra shift, he overheard and tipped me $100 on a $20ish tab. From then on, he never left me less than a $50 tip and would always check in with me when it was the end of the month to make sure I had rent cash."2. Harrison Ford: "My uncle said that he's incredibly nice and took the whole crew out for lunch to thank them for working on his helicopter."3. Justin Bieber: "He was by himself at a mall, and he wasn't trying to be incognito . . . He drew me in with a big hug and chatted me up. He was lovely."4. John Travolta: "The guy is totally down to earth . . . He is also someone who asks a lot of questions and is actually interested in what you have to say."5. Dolly Parton: "Can confirm that she's just as great as you'd assume. She was just so nice to everyone. She was a lot smaller than I expected."Here are five of the WORST:1. Jennifer Lopez: "She was super rude and dismissive . . . and had this attitude that she was better than you."2. Jenna Fischer from "The Office": "[She] was really difficult to work with. Just really demanding."3. Jared Leto: "[He's] a narcissistic [A-hole]. He complains about every single thing and really enjoys being difficult. I think he does it for fun."4. Diana Ross: "[She] cut in front of me at the airport check-in counter once . . . I was flabbergasted by this lady who had the guts to sweep in front of us AND touch the gate agent's computer."5. John Cusack: "Outside of a restaurant: 'Hey, Mr. Cusack, I like your movies.' . . . 'I don't care.'"AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!
