Bonus: “Waiting for Britney Spears” and Jeff Weiss' Surrealistic Account of Pop Stardom (Allegedly)

Music journalist Jeff Weiss recently wrote a book titled Waiting for Britney Spears, documenting the pop stars rise and fall from the public eye. But the book isn’t a historical account, it’s an “allegedly true” story that blurs fact and fiction, putting Weiss himself in the middle of the action. His writing takes a playful tabloid-style tone — a commentary on the tabloid-style news that moved her story along and his own experience working in that industry. KEXP’s Martin Douglas talked with Weiss about how Britney Spears not only influenced modern music, but also symbolized a collective loss of innocence among millennials. “I wanted to tell the story of the death of the millennial American dream,” Weiss says in the interview. “Who more symbolic than Britney Spears? She was such a martyr for our cultural sins in so many respects. All the themes that Britney Spears embodies, we’re still grappling with in the eye of pop culture today."

Justin Bieber's Mallorca Escape: Silencing Rumors, Shaping Narratives, and Navigating Stardom's Chaos

Justin Bieber - Audio Biography

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's last few days have been a collision of personal revelations, public speculation, and a determined effort to shape his own narrative. Amid swirling divorce rumors, the pop superstar and his wife Hailey put on a united front, jetting off to Mallorca for a private getaway in one of the island's most exclusive villas. Spanish outlet El Diario de Mallorca details their stay at a $30000-a-week mansion in Port d'Andratx, complete with panoramic sea views, an infinity pool, and enough amenities to make reality melt away. Justin marked the escape with an Instagram post hailing Hailey as “my forever and n always,” silencing the rumor mill, at least for now, despite acute fan scrutiny over whether it is actually Hailey in the recent photos or just another case of the couple outfoxing their critics, as Marca quickly picked up on. Theories aside, Hailey's recent ringless public outings fueled further claims of trouble, even as she reassured Vogue her marriage is strong.These public gestures come on the heels of Bieber's candid Instagram confession last month, where he admitted to battling “anger issues” and feeling “broken,” candidly asking, “Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?” RadarOnline and Reality Tea report that sources close to him describe a man in “panic mode,” fearing his struggles may be pushing Hailey away. His social media activity is nothing short of frenetic—multiple posts a day, including a batch of “detox” selfies this week that sparked concern among fans, with responses ranging from support to outright worry about his well-being.Despite the chaos, moments of calm peek through. People magazine shared a heartwarming video of Bieber playing outside with his ten-month-old son, Jack Blues, capturing glimpses of a devoted dad enjoying rare normalcy. Both Justin and Hailey have been chronicling family moments online, from poolside playtime to matching lunches with baby Jack, presenting a counter-narrative to all the tabloid noise.On the business front, Bieber's performance machine grinds on. He dropped a major announcement on Instagram about an upcoming show in Brazil, stoking excitement among fans globally. Meanwhile, his massive $200 million catalog sale to Hipgnosis Song Management continues to reverberate in the industry, marking one of the biggest deals for an artist of his generation. And through it all, the world watches as Bieber's every post, outing, and update becomes instant headline fodder, reminding everyone that in the age of social media, the line between reality and speculation is blurrier than ever.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

On today’s show, we’re covering the verdict in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial. The hip-hop mogul was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, while being acquitted of more severe charges like sex trafficking and racketeering. Plus, Jennette McCurdy’s bestselling memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died is being adapted into a new series with Jennifer Aniston set to play the role of her controlling mother. McCurdy herself is co-writing and producing the series, which promises to delve deep into the dark side of child stardom. And speaking of child stars, we’re taking a deep dive into the world of young fame, exploring the journeys of those who navigated the spotlight successfully and those who faced significant challenges. From the pressures of early fame to the support systems (or lack thereof) that can make or break a young actor, we’ll discuss the factors that influence these trajectories.

We're back for another episode of Wrestling Omakase, and this time around John is joined by three recent guests for the return of an old favorite: the Mid-Year Awards! We present our picks for the best & worst of Japanese wrestling so far in 2025 in a ton of Wrestling Observer-style year end awards, along with some analysis on how likely these winners are to stand as full year award contenders by the time 2025 comes to an end. John's guests include: Paul Volsch from the Emerald FlowShow (@EmeraldFlowShow on Twitter & Bsky), Velkej Bracha from the ActWres Stage podcast (here's their most recent episode on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqIHVjqO6_8), and Arametha! Together the four seasoned Japanese wrestling watchers break down the best and worst of the year of Japanese wrestling. But before they get into the actual awards, as a bonus we provide some breaking news audio on the major title change that happened earlier today (being purposefully vague in case anyone is trying to avoid spoilers on that very weirdly aired show!) as well as the news that Syuri is taking a hiatus from STARDOM and what that might mean for the upcoming 5STAR GP, among other things.Then it's awards time, and here's a full list of all the categories we covered in the order they appeared on the episode:-Best Rookie-Best Tag Team-Best Feud-Most Improved-Most Overrated/Overpushed-Most Underrated/Underpushed-Best Unit-Worst Unit-Best Major Show-Worst Major Show-Most Outstanding Wrestler (in ring only)-Best Promotion-Worst Promotion-Match of the (Half) Year-Worst Match of the (Half Year)-Flair/Thesz Award (in ring + drawing, basically MVP)For most of the best categories we each give a top 3, while we only give one pick each for the worst....mostly so we don't have to stew in negativity for very long, haha. So come hear all of our picks for the best & worst of Japanese wrestling halfway through 2025, as we discuss all the major promotions- NJPW, STARDOM, NOAH, AJPW, DDT, Dragongate, Marigold, Sendai Girls, and of course since Velkej is here we discuss Actwres Girlz as well!

From high atop his director crane, Cecile B. DeMille spotted her carrying a lamb and jumped down to write her a larger role as “Rachel the Slave Girl,” a part that brought her face to face with Charlton Heston as he parted The Red Sea!  At age 20, she was whisked from her UCLA sorority house to a sitcom set when she landed the role of big-sister “Cissy Davis” in one of CBS's first color shows, Family Affair!Kathy tells us how her mother employed Streaks N' Tips to match her dark locks to those of her TV siblings. The resulting greenish hue did not detract Ed Hartmann  from casting the perfect sibling for Buffy and Jody.Kathy shares her thoughts on why her younger co-stars struggled to adjust into their adult lives. She credits her smooth transition to her supportive family and spending her high school years in San Bernardino, away from the judgement of Hollywood.In IMDB Roulette, Kathy talks about sharing credits with Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Kurt Russell, Chuck Connors, Patty Duke, Julie Andrews and Andy Griffith.Kathy has amassed an impressive body of voice work, which includes playing Firestar in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.

Returning guest Velkej Bracha (@Velkej_Bracha on X), host of the ActWres Stage podcast (here's their most recent episode on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqIHVjqO6_8) joins them and starts by breaking down their recent trip to Japan, as he gives the live perspective on All Star Grand Queendom, Tetsuya Naito's final night in NJPW at Dontaku and more! Plus the two of them generally bullshit about Japan travel for a good long while because, to be honest, nobody wanted to talk about Dominion. But talk about Dominion they must, so they give a full review of a very, very bad show full of absolutely horrible and baffling booking decisions, and fair warning: John gets more than a little fired up about a few of them in particular. May wanna turn your headphones down for that part. They also discuss the quite bad looking G1 lineup and bury New Japan again for being completely unwilling to do anything fun or interesting these days.But once the badness is over, we head back to the wonderful world of the World Wonder Ring, STARDOM, for a full preview of their upcoming 6/21 show from Yoyogi, The Conversion! John & Velkej talk all about recent storylines and developments as they break down the entire card in full, so if you've heard some of the recent hype for the promotion and want a good jumping in point you might want to listen to our preview here and check out the show! Finally, they wrap up the episode by heading back to another joshi promotion, Marigold, as John gives abbreviated thoughts on some of the matches from the 6/15 & 6/16 weekend shows in Osaka & Shizuoka (including the debut of another impressive looking rookie!), before they then give a full review of the 6/17 Korakuen show, including the big Marigold vs. Marvelous interpromotional main event.

Former NFL star Darren Waller joins The Zac Clark Show to share his raw, unfiltered story of recovery. From overdosing on opiates in a grocery store parking lot just miles from the Ravens facility to becoming one of the league's top tight ends with the Raiders and Giants, Darren opens up about the real battle—his addiction, the search for identity, and the haunting realization that no amount of money, fame, or success can fill the hole inside.He walks us through the peaks and valleys—stocking shelves at Sprouts during a 14-month suspension, making the Pro Bowl just two years later, and ultimately walking away from a $32 million contract to honor his true self and a healthier, more peaceful path. We talk about the layers beneath addiction—childhood, shame, performance, perfectionism—and the ongoing work of healing through recovery, therapy, and faith.The dream is so often built around achievement, recognition, and external validation—but Darren's story is a powerful reminder that inner peace is worth more than any prize, paycheck, or stadium of screaming fans, and that real self-love can only come from within.Today, Darren is making music, sharing his truth through lyrics, and helping others find freedom through his non-profit, The Darren Waller Foundation. Since 2020, the foundation has helped fund recovery treatment for individuals struggling with addiction and has reached thousands through Wall Talks across the country.For information about The Darren Waller Foundation, please click here: https://darrenwaller.org/Connect with Zachttps://www.instagram.com/zwclark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclarkhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553https://twitter.com/zacwclarkIf you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release:(914) 588-6564releaserecovery.com@releaserecovery

"When you went through what I went through, there's nothing to celebrate about that…I look back at all of it, there's nothing cool about it, I'm hurt from all of it. I have real trauma and pain inside of me from all of that.” Dejounte Murray  In this powerful episode of The Pivot Podcast, NBA guard Dejounte Murray sits down with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder for a raw, emotional, and reflective conversation on how as a young man he defied odds making it off the Seattle streets to becoming a basketball star to choosing an unlikely life path that forever changed him. Dejounte reveals what it was like growing up in a tough environment, detailing experiences with violence, homelessness, and parental incarceration as he shared how these hardships fueled his determination to succeed and provided the foundation for his resilience on and off the court. With pain and hurt in his voice, Dejounte find the words to share with the guys on the healing process of what he did in his early life, what he witnessed and how survivor's remorse eats at him, saying how everyone he knew from home is either in jail or deceased, and he starts most of his mornings by emailing his friends and relatives who are in prison. Overcoming the unimaginable as he explains how he went from catching a criminal case at 11 years old, to juvenile detention to playing one year of college basketball before being drafted in the first round by the San Antonio Spurs. Discussing his NBA journey and reflecting on lessons learned, Dejounte shares how instrumental his time was with the Spurs, specifically Coach Popovich, who was more than a coach and served as his first real father-figure guiding him through the ups and downs of life. He talked about the pressure of being a young player in a storied franchise, the complexities of team dynamics, transitioning to the Atlanta Hawks, dealing with injuries, setbacks and now trying to navigate life and basketball playing with the New Orleans Pelicans, his latest NBA home. Ryan gets into the growth and maturity sides of life, as Dejounte is unique in he doesn't drink, do drugs, party and very rarely seen outside in a public setting. Committed to his family, being a father and the game he loves so much, Dejounte isn't willing to risk any outside factor messing up this gift of life outside what he used to know and doesn't want anything to interfere with his healing. A heart-wrenching conversation at times, but one definitely worth listening to as Dejounte's courage to open up on overcoming life-changing obstacles, and the pivotal moments that shaped his path to success, will impact you in ways you never thought possible.

In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha sits down with Akansha Ranjan Kapoor for a candid, funny, and deeply relatable conversation about life in the spotlight — and everything it isn’t.Akansha opens up about growing up in a film family, why she still had to hustle hard to make her mark, and how formal training at Whistling Woods gave her the confidence to pursue acting seriously. From juggling PR jobs while auditioning to landing her breakthrough in Guilty, her journey is filled with unexpected turns — and plenty of self-deprecating humor.They talk about the unexpected creative freedom she found working with TVF, and how roles like Gram Panchayat challenged her to step out of her comfort zone. Along the way, the conversation spirals into relatable chaos: the decline of social drinking, generational shifts in social media behavior, and why some parents just shouldn’t comment on their kids’ reels.This episode is about more than acting — it’s about identity, adaptability, and growing up in public.

Susie went to a Micky Dolenz of the Monkees concert, and the next day a stranger stopped her at the grocery store to make a comment about something Susie did at the show. We learn why medical professionals and workers at senior facilities are being trained to stop using "elderspeak" with their patients. They say that the baby talk and cutesy language infantilizes older folks and causes greater resistance to care and more anti-psychotic prescriptions. We discuss the Carter family documentary and hear how the stardom of their sons Aaron and Nick contributed to strife, addiction, and death in the family. We talk about a man who intentionally injected himself with snake venom and willingly let snakes bite him hundreds of times with the hope of becoming immune to their poison, and somehow, someway, he actually did it. And he might end up being responsible for creating a universal anti-venom. We debate whether the Pulitzer prize-winning photo of the Vietnam War victim "Napalm Girl," who is running naked after being burned, should be allowed on social media or if it's pornographic.LIVE TRIVIA NIGHT: MAY 22nd 8PM - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/LiveListen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comBCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:For 20% off your order, head to https://www.harvesthosts.com and use code BRAINCANDY.Use code BRAINCANDY at https://cozyearth.com for 40% off best-selling sheets, pajamas, and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
