Spilling the tea on Hollywood's A-listers. Kardashians. I have met every single one. Exposing scandals. 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.

Hot gossip, cold gossip, room temperature gossip, gossip in varying degrees. NT from Hollywood. How are you? Yeah, I'm great. I'm great. Jay-Z, Beyonce purchased the most expensive house in history, I hear.

Out of all houses ever. Well, in California, I think, right? Second most expensive in the United States, I think, ever. And then, yeah, most expensive in California. But, I mean, it's next door to a house that was the most expensive. So, yeah, $200 million they dropped. But they got a deal because it was listed for $295 million. I saw it and I wasn't wowed.

Like, it looked amazingly located by the beach. But it almost looked like a sort of factory or a warehouse rather than a house. The people that actually built the house, they have one of the largest art collections in America, private art collections, and they wanted it built for their art collection. So think of it as like, oh, we want an art museum, and then it could also be a house. But you are correct. And the other thing is that this house, okay, it's in paradise cove in malibu paradise cove used to have basically the nicest beach in all of malibu but over the years over the last just five years there's been so much beach erosion that there's not even a beach really

there anymore it's got a great view but with that erosion that cliff that they're on you never know jay-z and beyonce not factoring in climate change there as well. I know Clifftop Houses here, they're not selling now because we had some issues with flooding houses, slipping down cliffs and all sorts. So, hey, hopefully they've bought a sensible investment. Let's just hope. Antti with us.

He joins us from Hollywood now. I know the Cannes Film Festival's been on over the last week or so and no doubt it's going to get nominated next year. Fast X. Fast and Furious is back. Well, I don't think it is, but again, it just seems to be doing really well around the world with how much money it makes.

These movies just make more and more money. They have to, because the budget all in for this thing is about $500 million. That was to make it and then promote it. $500 million. It might not make $ 500 million. That was to make it and then promote it. 500 million. It might not make $500 million. It opened, I think, this weekend at like 68 million, which puts it kind of in the middle

of the fast franchises or whatever. If the next one costs 600 million to make, are you, at what point do you go, one of these, if it's a bomb, it's going to bankrupt the studio? $500 million, Jay-Z, Beyonce, buy two and a half houses. Two and a half houses for that. Well, that's true.

NT, with us from Hollywood. Did we tell you Jason Momoa is living in New Zealand at the moment? And we're convulsing with excitement. We got to meet him a couple of weeks ago. Gentlemen. Look, okay. Do you guys remember a couple of months ago when he was making that movie there, how excited you guys were.

And then, let's see, I think it was last week, and I was talking to producer Ben. He goes, did you hear? Did you hear? Jason Momoa's in town, and oh my gosh, the whole country's so excited. And now you guys this week, oh my gosh, Jason Momoa's living here. I know, but what would you guys do if, let's say, Tom Hanks moved there? Don't even pitch it.

I'd have to stop working right now, even you just mentioning Tom Hanks. We can't handle it, but it's incredible for New Zealand. And he loves it. He genuinely loves it. Hear my mind? Well, he's saying that, and we're believing him. Yeah. You guys have a beautiful country.

Here's the thing. If any kind of singer or any kind of celebrity who listens to these calls that we have, I'm going to go make New Zealand my first stop. I'm going to go play like Wellington and Auckland and Christchurch and wherever else I can play because the whole country would be like, you know, your biggest fans, they would just go crazy. We tried.

When Harry Styles, Harry Styles made the right move. Right? Yeah, we still got over that. We know we need to play it a little cooler. We can't.

We keep telling ourselves, let's play it cool this time. Anyway, because they had a fast ex-premiere here with him, and boy, oh boy, that

was, I'm going to say probably the greatest day New Zealand's ever had. Ante, come on down. How expensive is it? I've never looked at the spreadsheet, to be honest, but I was thinking, driving in, going,

we spend a long 20 minutes at a time talking to you, and you can catch it on the podcast on iHeartRadio. I'm like, this must be – Bogsy's our CEO. Must be hurting Bogsy in the back pocket. Now, Auntie Kim Kardashian has said that she cries – it's sad, actually very sad. She cries herself to sleep with demands of motherhood, and it shows no matter how much money or how successful you've got, you know, being a parent can be a pretty full-on exercise.

Is she wiping her tears with, like, $100 bills or something? You've got, you know, being a parent can be a pretty full-on exercise. Is she wiping her tears with, like, $100 bills or something? Oh, to be fair to NT, Ben, as you were saying it, you're like, Kim Kardashian cries herself to sleep. Well, that's sad. That's sad. I'm sad. I don't want anyone to cry themselves to sleep,

no matter who that person is, NT. Okay, look, look. Nobody wants anybody to cry themselves to sleep. Yeah, thank you. I cry in the car after work, but that's a different story. Let's all agree no one wants you to cry and just sleep. Correct. Now, with that being said, somebody cooks all of her meals, every single one.

She doesn't have to lift her finger. She doesn't have to do anything. She doesn't have to do any cleaning. None, nothing. Nothing, B. Not at all. She doesn't have to do anything. She doesn't have to do any cleaning. None. Nothing. Nothing. Not at all. Not even a speck of dust.

She's got several nannies. She's got several assistants. Count them on your fingers. She's got everything. I mean, it's just... So, yes, I understand that. Oh, but I think about somebody who is like a single mom who works a full-time job, maybe two jobs to keep everything has to pay most of her income to some kind of, let's say daycare and then have to pay rent, come home, cook. Okay. That's the person who should be crying themselves to sleep

at night. So I, when I hear something like this, it makes me, honestly, if I've read it on my phone, it makes me want to bash the phone into the ground. It's just, it's so performative and it's some kind of attempt to, to make her seem like she's normal and relatable when she's really not. Yeah. Yeah. Ben, she's not down at pack and save made on Getting the bargains on meat week, is she?

That's true. Okay, Johnny Depp, is he back? Because we've seen the Cannes Film Festival. He's over there. He's got a movie there. He got a standing ovation for like seven minutes. I know there's been a bit of controversy about how much love he's received over there, but do you think he's back?

Do you think we'll see him back in Hollywood? Okay, first things first. You guys could take your cell phone take a selfie video of yourselves for three minutes then debut it can and you would get a 10 minute standing i've mentioned before that we have got footage of a one-man love tape featuring Ben boys. Is it worth an entry? I just, you, everybody gets a standing ovation. It's ridiculous. If you got a seven minute standing ovation for your movie that I want to enter, that'd be six

minutes longer than the movie. Hey, NT, great catching up with you, mate. You can catch this whole thing on iHeartRadio on the podcast. You're going to have a great week over there, buddy. Alright, you guys have a great week, too.
