Spilling the tea on Hollywood's A-listers. Kardashians. I have met every single one. Exposing scandals. Because she's not a good person, but either is he. Digging the dirt. Is she a diva? Yes.

And finding out what's going on behind the scenes. Yelling at cast members. Yes. It was a script. No. His identity is a secret. But his stories have been proven right time and time again. This is NT.

We call him the ice cream man around here, don't we? Because he's got the scoop on Hollywood NT. Welcome. How are you? You know, I'm great. That was some really bad timing last week by calling me the Dalai Lama of drama. Oh, yes. Because he had some drama that we don't even want to.

Yeah, anyway. So, look, because I did read an article because we're away. It was Easter time, but he had a meeting with a boy, and he said to the boy, suck my tongue or something. There was some kissing. Yeah, it was meant to be playful, but I think, yeah, anyway. I don't know.

Supposedly it's a Tibetan tradition or something, but if it had been, I don't know. Now, NTDAU. How much would you say, how much do I pay you to suck my tongue, Ben? I don't know. Now, NT, you... How much would you say? How much do I pay you to suck my tongue, Ben? We're talking millions. Actually, to be honest, my rates are very low. Now, NT, your Instagram has been blowing up recently,

and TikTok as well. You've been sort of revealing again some of what you call blinds. That's when you kind of have some information about a celebrity and then all of a sudden you name that celebrity. And it has been blowing up. How nerve-wracking is it when you name a celebrity? Because I imagine you can say, oh, there's rumors about such and such, but not naming someone.

But when you actually put a name to something, I mean, how nervous do you get? I generally don't get nervous at all. Wow, really? He's not you, Ben. Because if they're true, then you're not nervous about it. I mean, you learn over the years. Like, okay, if I have a reveal about Mariah Carey, no matter how minor it is, her lawyer just sends me a letter, right?

What's the craziest thing you've heard about Mariah Carey? Oh, gosh. I want to say that she was in Europe, and in Europe you can't get Diet Coke, right? You can only get Coke Zero. And I think she had a private jet slide in. They weren't banging on about the carbon footprints back then, were they?

No, they weren't. And this was a while ago. Now, Benny, she played at Coachella, and I look at Coachella and I'm thinking, it's a giant pill-fuelled Gen Z mess in the middle of the desert. It looks epic, right? Does it? I mean, you've been to Coachella before? What's it like?

Okay. It depends on the year. So, first of all, it used to only be one weekend. Now it's two weekends, right? And then in the desert, it's not only two weekends at Coachella, but in the next weekend, a stagecoach, which is the largest country music thing. So anyway, it can be well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. So you're talking like 40 Celsius, 45 sometimes. And this was not one of those years. It was very, very pleasant and stuff. I think the Gen Z thing is true to some extent. However,

they need people who are willing and able to pay the $2,000 for a VIP package or $26 for a drink. And so they brought in like Blondie this year. Bjork was playing. Even like somebody like Blink-182. They're not a Gen Z crowd. That's more of a millennial thing. So they brought those in. It is hot.

It is dusty. And then you can get the occasional great performance. And then you can have a really bad one like Frank Ocean to close it out. And last minute, he goes, you can't like stream me on YouTube. I mean, everybody is streamed live on YouTube from Coachella, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, doesn't matter how big you are, you get streamed for people who aren't there. And he said, no, no streaming. I want this to be an intimate kind of thing. And because there was no streaming, that means the fans had to get there early. And some of them had to wait like 12 hours so they could be able to see him. And the whole lead up to this was that he had Coachella build a ice skating rink on the stage.

And he had a bunch of semi-professional hockey players that had practiced for weeks and weeks and weeks to do this routine on the ice. And then last minute yesterday, a few hours before the show, he goes, I don't want to do it. What? And so the Coachella people had to melt the entire rink. And then these hockey players that had practiced and practiced, instead of skating, then they were now walking around him. And the hockey players would have been like,

we're in our hockey gear, it's the desert, there's an ice skating rink and you want to end it? That is, that's wild. Here's our Hollywood insider. We don't even know his real name, but he dishes the dirt on celebrities. We're going to talk to him about Brad Pitt as well, but there's other big Hollywood news

that we've just been reading about. Yeah, Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey could be brothers. They've just gone on a talk show. Well, Woody Harrelson has to talk about it. Well, I'll just say there is some veracity to that thought because we talked to Momac, Matthew's legitimate mother, and she let us know one time. I wonder if he's a legitimate mother.

We were actually... I mean, this is... It's crazy. We were in Greece. We were watching the, you know, the US team win the World Cup. Okay, he's banging on. But basically, long story short,

they talked to Matthew McConnell's mum. Stephen Colby didn't wrap him up, mate. Yeah, no, I'm just thinking, Colby should have wrapped him up. It's like, get to it, mate. I don't care what football game you're watching. And so long story short, it sounds like Matthew McConaughey's mum might have hooked up with Woody Harrelson's father.

And NT is with us from the land of fame and fake body parts in Hollywood. Is this true, NT? I think it's all for PR. I mean, because they're promoting something, right? And I just, okay, it's possible. Matthew McConaughey says he doesn't want to take a DNA test because he doesn't want to have the same father as Woody Harrelson. Woody Harrelson's father went to jail for shooting a federal judge,

the only time a federal judge in the United States has ever been assassinated, and it was Woody Harrelson's dad. And the crazy thing is, is Woody Harrelson's dad was paid, I think, like $250,000, maybe a little bit more, to do the hit. He was a hit man for the mafia or something, wasn't he? Yeah, yeah. So he is in a lot of conspiracy theories. Matthew McConaughey doesn't, he looks like the type of person

who's never experienced a sliver of stress. You know, and he would just be, all right, all right, all right. And you'd be like, mate, it would wind me up that he wasn't stressing out about stuff. I think that's true, that even going back to college, he was pretty much just, hey, I'm good looking and I'm not going to worry about it. And something will happen that'll all work out. And I've talked to people, you know, who knew him in college. And then when he started acting and he was just, he never like, oh, I got to book this job. Oh, I got to book this job.

Oh, I hope they call me. It's just like, I don't really care. I'm still just good looking and I'll find something else. Not a great way to be. Wouldn't it be nice to be like that? Oh, wouldn't it? Hey, Israel Adesanya, who's based out of New Zealand, he's probably our most famous athlete.

I said that yesterday. Probably him and Stephen Adams maybe in the NBA. Is he a big deal over there? Because he's obviously a UFC champion. Is the UFC huge or is it a case of America being such a big country, you have a small percentage who are mega fans and that's who he's known to? Anybody who watches UFC obviously knows him. I mean he's a really great fighter. See him hanging out with Drake you know like the Rock followers I mean so

many celebrities seem to know him want to hang out with him. Yeah. I mean, I, MMA is extremely popular in the United States. I mean, there's the big deal, you know, Dana White always is talking about Israel saying, oh, you know, he always wants to fight. He always wants the next fight, the next fight, the next fight. I think that he says he's going to fight again in June, maybe. And that's one thing about MMA is that they fight a lot more frequently. And I think that that also, this never-ending fighting, though, might be the reason why so many MMA guys end up in bad shape and so many concussions and all this kind of stuff. And I don't think anybody's really looked at that.

And I think that Dana White and the powers that be over UFC, I think that they think of them as just kind of disposable. Let's make as much money off them as we can. And you have huge stars like, say, Conor McGregor or whatever. And they go, you know what? I'm not making enough here. I'll be better off using my fame to do like these crazy one-off fights with like Floyd Mayweather or something. And I think that you could see Israel doing something like that, too.

Once you get a certain level of fame, there's only so much Dana White is going to pay you. You know, you got to move on and do something else. And I would argue that the greatest New Zealand athlete is probably, it's not Steven Adams, although I think that everybody in the world knows the All Blacks, right? I mean, isn't that, I mean, I know it's not one individual athlete, but the entire world knows who the All Blacks are. Yeah, well, that's, hey, I don't know. I just said some stuff.

But you're probably right. I was thinking, like, the NBA, huge, obviously, but maybe not as huge internationally as UFC. But then, I don't know. I have no expertise. I'm just making stuff up. But the All Blacks has a brand here. Yeah, probably.

Quickly before we go, Brad Pitt, wonderful story, heartwarming story. He had an elderly man live in one of his houses rent-free until the day he died. That is just must warm the cockles of your heart it normally would warm the cockles of my heart however you guys know there's always a always a what or a however we just read the first sentence of an article we think that's amazing but you know the howevers okay so brad pitt bought this house back in the day. And then there was another, he started building properties around, like buying the other ones. And there was one in

a 90 something year old man lived there. And Brad Pitt said, of course you can stay in your house until you pass away. And he did. He lived to be 105. Sounds like a great story. So this story comes out two days, two days, like it came out of nowhere. Like all the interviews that Brad Pitt's ever done in his whole life over the last 20 years, because this was not recent. It just all of a sudden comes out. That's because two days later, there's a story about his New Orleans charity had promised to spend $20 million to build these people's homes. And it turns out that the charity didn't have any money. And he knew this story was coming out. It's this huge expose so he got people talking about

the 105 year old guy that lived there rent-free including spreading the news all the way to new zealand where you guys read that and you don't read about the horrible things that his charity did or the horrible things he did in jolena jolie or anything like that because brad pitt has a free path for life to be honest if i'm brad pitt and i bought a house and i wanted to do some development and i say to a 90 year old, you can live here till you die, and he kicks on to 105. He probably wasn't expecting that, you're right.

I'm sure, you know, four to five years max, but anyway. NT, this has been really fun, mate. You go and have a great week and look after yourself. Alright, we'll talk to you guys next week.
