Bobbie BrownTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Bobbie Brown. Bobbie first gained notoriety as a 'video vixen' in rock music videos on MTV. Appearing in videos for the bands Hurricane, Great White, and Warrant. In this episode, we chat about how she grew up in Baton Rouge, dreaming of being a model, and then moved to Los Angeles to make those dreams come true. We cover her time on Star Search, where she was the winningest contestant in any category, in the history of the show. Then we talk about how she got into performing in music videos and eventually meeting and marrying the lead singer of Warrant, Jani Lane. Along the way, we discuss substance abuse, the music career that never was, her auditions for Scorsese, and Spielberg, and working with Arnold Schwarzenegger, her relationship with Tommy Lee, meeting OJ Simpson, and so much more! Naturally we talk about her autobiography (Dirty Rocker Boys), and the new memoir that she is working on currently. Bobbie was part of the cast of the reality show 'Ex Wives of Rock' which lasted 4 seasons, and we do talk a bit about that as well. More recently, during Covid, Bobbie had her identity stolen, her money stolen, and through all of this led her to have a life changing Holy experience. Of course, we touched on those experiences and how they left her a changed woman. Bobbie is starting to tour the country attending conventions. Catch her at a con near you and tell her you heard her on Fascination Street Podcast.

In this episode, I sit down with singer Bo Bice for a real conversation about life in music, overnight fame, and what it means to grow up and grow wiser without losing your love for the art. Bo walks me through his American Idol journey, from sleeping on the convention center floor at auditions to waking up one day and realizing he could not walk down the street without being recognized. We talk about the grit it takes to survive beyond the television spotlight, the reality of the music business, and all the unglamorous moments that shape you as a working musician.Bo shares stories from his early days playing around Alabama and Muscle Shoals, loading his own PA, sleeping in the back of his vehicle after gigs, and learning from the characters he met along the way. We get into the music that shaped him, from Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers to Prince, the Eagles, and John Prine. We also talk about how digital tools and artificial intelligence have changed the landscape, and why live music still feels like the heartbeat of it all.Later in the conversation, Bo opens up about faith, family, and purpose. He talks about putting God first, the peace he has found in his walk with Christ, and how learning to forgive himself has changed how he experiences his life and career. He also shares his passion for serving veterans through music and through new approaches to healing things like pain, anxiety, and PTSD, and he mentions a new project focused on herbal and cannabinoid therapy launching in 2026. We even touch on his recent appearance on the game show The Floor with Rob Lowe.I also share a bit of my own story, including my time on Star Search as a teenager and my first year of sobriety. We compare notes on growing up in the South, getting older, and trying to keep our side of the street clean while still chasing the things we love. This one is honest, warm, and full of the kind of perspective that only comes from a lot of miles and a lot of music.Music from the Episode:Keep On Rollin' (Bo Bice)Remember Me (Bo Bice)Thank you for listening.

Dana pulls back the curtain on his Biden and Fauci clips that blew up the internet—how he built the voices and the rhythm. Before that, David revisits the mall audition for Star Search he actually got…and turned down, plus why he passed on a Joan Rivers cohost gig that still led to a FOX exec meeting. Then the guys react to clips—Sen. John Kennedy on aliens, “Japan invented the shower,”—and riff on reunion bands. They close by debating whether they'd do stand-up in Saudi Arabia like other comics.

With Paps back, we talk about potentials for the on-going star search as well as the double standards when it come sto cancel culture. Enjoy!

Say hello to the King of Cleveland, the Lord of TV improvisation, and Potentate of the Price is Right game show -- Drew Carey. A regular guy, Drew's enduring and broad appeal has made him a fixture on television since the late 1980s when he competed on Star Search. His Tonight Show debut in 1991 won Johnny Carson's approval and earned Drew the fabled invite to join the guests on the couch. From there Drew became a reliable guest on talk shows and helmed cable specials, then in 1995 launched the Drew Carey Show sitcom, a smash which also featured one of his future improv co-stars Ryan Stiles. Speaking of improv, that was Drew's next conquest, hosting the American version of Whose Line is it Anyway which led to his next star turn, as the replacement for Bob Barker on the Price is Right game show. All the while, Drew has never lost the everyman touch, in whichever medium he chooses! As always find extended clips below and thanks for sharing our shows. Want more Drew?

Here's a nice set of highlights from the show. https://youtu.be/5VN1A5yab5o?si=Ok7fGP_71Ss5Xdza Drew was the host and sometimes participant for the wildly successful improv game show Whose Line is it Anyway?

Despite the astronaut's impressive credentials, Sal's baseball-focused mind, influenced by family history and the WFAN sports radio audience, couldn't quite grasp the celestial connection, leading to a truly out-of-this-world on-air admission and a debate about whether the public thinks baseball or outer space when they hear "Hubble."

She has to deal with an abusive father, and the heartbreak of losing her mom way too soon. But somehow, her grit, determination, and natural humor lands her on a comedy club stage when she's just a teen. After polishing her act on the road, Rosie gains national attention on the 80s TV talent show, “Star Search.” And she's off and running. After stealing scenes in “A League of Their Own,” “Sleepless in Seattle,” and “The Flintstones,” she revolutionizes daytime television with her own feel-good talk show and is dubbed “The Queen of Nice.” But never one afraid to speak her mind, Rosie goes on to voice her opinions on “The View,” which lands her in a very public battle with the current sitting President of the United States. Throughout her life, Rosie's always tried to stick up for what she feels is right, including LGBTQ+ rights.

And ever since then, she’s never stopped working. From Recess to The Last of Us, and now the co-founder of the revolutionary media company Critical Role has started her own nostalgic journey into podcasting. And to think - it all started on Star Search. Old friends reunite on a brand new Pod Meets World.. Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTok!

Netflix hasn't released a premiere date or any casting details yet, but the live format hints at a modern, interactive twist. Star-Studded Original Films on the WayNetflix also announced a major new project called Here Comes the Flood, a high-stakes heist thriller starring Denzel Washington and Robert Pattinson.

Everything's bigger in Texas — including the laughs, confessions, and jaw-dropping stories on this outrageous new episode of Undressed with Pol' and Patrik, recorded live from the Warwick in Dallas with reality royalty LeeAnne Locken! Known for her fiery presence on The Real Housewives of Dallas, LeeAnne wastes no time diving into the drama — and neither do your fabulous hosts, Pol' and Patrik. From her obsession with espresso to her absolute ban on Dallas tap water, LeeAnne makes her diva standards hilariously clear — and throws major shade at Patrik's month-old plastic bottle habit. The water wars quickly turn into a full-blown roast as the trio trades stories about recycled germs, nightstand bottles, and who really drinks what at dinner. But the biggest surprise? LeeAnne reveals her gritty childhood spent traveling with the carnival — yes, the kind with rigged games, sketchy carnies, and duck pond booths. By age 11, she was a business-owning “carny queen” making bank off rigged soda bottle tosses and traveling from city to city with her mom. She shares chilling and hilarious tales of life behind the games, including a near-miss with a rattlesnake, and how cussing saved her life (and finally got her dad's attention). The journey continues from carnival chaos to the glitzy pageant world as LeeAnne shares how she became Miss Arizona USA, nearly competed alongside Shanna Moakler, and even caught the judging eye of Pol' back in the day. She opens up about representing Arizona during the Guy Rex era, training at the famed Robert Black Agency, and crossing over into the modeling world. Reality TV fans get an inside peek at LeeAnne's early reality stints, including She's Got the Look on the Style Network, where she was judged by Beverly Johnson and hosted by Kim Alexis. Her time on Star Search with Ed McMahon is equally juicy — and personal for Pol', who designed winning gowns for that very show. And just when you think it couldn't get any juicier, Pol' performs his signature Armenian coffee reading for LeeAnne — and the revelations are deep. From finally feeling peace in her life to someone from her past re-entering her orbit, LeeAnne reflects on letting go, forgiveness, and what it means to find new purpose. She opens up about her close relationship with her late grandmother, the Bible she keeps beside her bed, and her dreams that still connect them. We also get heartfelt moments about DIFFA (Design Industry Foundation Fighting AIDS), where LeeAnne has been a passionate contributor and advocate. She encourages listeners to support this meaningful cause — and we learn Pol' is designing a custom denim jacket for this year's gala! The episode wraps with tequila toasts, spiritual clarity, and of course, nonstop shade and sass — just the way we like it.
