It's time for a quickie. Podcast one presents the Lady Gang, the Hollywood girl posse with Lady Gang Quickie. Here's Kelty Knight, Becca Tobin and Jack Vanek. Let's make this quick. Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Lady Gang Quickie. I am back here with Jack and Kelty and two special guest stars. We are so excited this week on Lady Gang.

We're handing the mic to two of the Internet's absolute favorites, the unapologetic, unfiltered and always iconic hosts of Pop Apologist, Lauren and Chan. They have built a cult following for their shop pop culture commentary, bold opinions, and banter that feels chaotic and deeply healing. If you love a good PR theory, a DeLulu take, and a brutally honest breakdown of everything from Hollywood to Housewives, you are in the right place. They are going to be helping us with allegedly what's happening,

and the rule is you say allegedly first so you cannot get sued. They're stepping in as guest hosts today, and trust us, they understand the assignment. Let's go. All right. Hi, ladies. Hi. welcome to the pod so excited to be here we're so excited to come to you with a very busy week

of celebrity pop culture so let's get right in it first of all Halle Berry admitted that she got proposed to Van Hunt asked her to marry him but she has not responded yet wow now that is a secure woman I just think if you look as good as Halle Berry does with such short hair you know if you if you can pull off short hair you don't you can leave them on red you know with the proposal yeah what did she say did she make a statement to the media that she hasn't responded no she was on the today show actually and they were asking do you ever think you'll get married and she said i don't know that i feel the need to get married again okay and then she said we'll probably get married someday soon but then she let it rip that like he had already asked her and she was kind of like

well i think it's like the jig is up at a certain point at a certain age at a certain maturity level where you've already had children it's like i i think it's okay to like he came to the table with a proposition and she's like i need a moment to sign this contract like it's like very mature i also with all due respect kelty because you're a married and not wanting children childless wonder i don't know why people get married that don't have children or don't want children yeah like especially when you're older and it's like a second marriage well it's like you're so trapped and like you want to plan another wedding yeah like it's like you could just have it be really chill you know you just be like life partners yeah traveling around what

if you divorced chris kelty and you're like i just want to be boyfriend girlfriend again i think that'd be so chic that is so chic my boyfriend of forever okay um speaking of boyfriend or ex-boyfriends tom sandoval was on america's got talent uh did you guys watch it i i have not tuned in we didn't catch that episode when we ran into you guys this morning we were watching it on becca's phone was he judging or was no he's on with his band he's He's on with the most bad ones. No, that's good. Most extras.

The most extras. And he basically sings Take On Me. Yeah. He has a little eye glitter. And he sounds, how would you guys describe it? I thought he sounded good. He's good. I mean, he's not like, you know, Freddie Mercury.

No. But he's like, he's decent. Yeah. Was there auto-tune? Maybe a little bit. But like, he was hitting the notes. Yeah. Shockingly so, because I thought he had a bad voice.

He's got some rizz on stage. You know, he's a very attractive man. Is he attractive? Yeah, that's a good question. I think he's circled back. He went from being that cute model boy back in Vanderpump early days to weird, very creepy looking, slightly androgynous. Too much Botox.

Yeah, but now he's kind of, guys, he's kind of come into this kind of hot man. Is a man, though, who goes on America's Got Talent hot? That's a great question. We were talking about this this morning, and we're like, it's kind of, there's something about him that's kind of endearing. Yes. Like, he's very eager, and he's very just, he's like, this is me, I'm doing this thing. Chasing my dreams.

He's chasing his dreams, and, like, to go on America's Got Talent, it's like, you're kind of, like, humbling yourself. Yeah. So the fact that, like, he's even willing to do that, I think is, I think is endearing. He is, he can be very endearing, I will say. Yeah. Did you watch him on Traders? No, I'm not tuned into Traders.

Is it so good? What? oh i can't no you have to really for your guys's podcast i know we probably have to cover it yeah we need to we need to cover with donna obviously coming on next season yes that was my next topic okay so the traders uh cast of season four is revealed notable names include donna kelsey lisa rena dorinda is back now if you watched last season she got kicked off really early last season and we were like hold on we missed the boat of like the greatest show of all time like we need more dorinda but you know what i thought that was karma because allegedly lindsey hubbard was

supposed to be on the traders and she was pregnant and you're not supposed to be pregnant like on the show doing all this because she was like trying to hide this is allegedly she's trying to hide it and i guess dorinda called her out and told production and got her like kicked off oh wow so the fact that she got kicked off first it's like a little bit of karma but now she's back but now she's back all the way um candace dillard bassett from potomac colton underwood steven coletti from laguna hills which is wow and monet exchange from rupaul's drag race that's wild okay this cast i'm gonna be tuning in because this is the this is star studded yeah no you have to like it's just so crazy like these casting directors like who what list is steven

coletti on i know that i can't get on traders i literally work for nbc you guys are dicks and need be so good and like they're like no you know who we need hmm steven coletti how do you get in touch with steven coletti he doesn't have an agent anymore he's a normie right did you guys watch love island not this season i've watched so rob from love islands on it too and maura higgins okay so it's so good what is the conceit of traitors like what are they doing aren't they like trying to play the game mafia yeah yeah it's like that okay so there's like three they pick three people to be a traitor and then the everybody else is the faithfuls and then in the whole game is just you're trying to decide you're trying to vote off who the traitor is so everybody's like saving each

other and it holds your attention it's so good well it's very campy everybody dresses up it's like this castle in scotland the host alan cummings is like has the best fashion and he's always wearing a kilt and like a hat um it's so good it's very dramatic and like theatrical okay what do you think happens in the kelsey households now that they're all so famous I don't know. Do you think Mama Donna has to be like, hey, boys, or does she just do whatever the F she wants? No, Donna's doing that thing where, like, your friends who, like, hadn't been on social media for a while and then they're a bit old-aged and then they decide to go on Instagram finally and then they text you about all their questions about Instagram. Like, she's probably texting Taylor being like, do you think this is going to perform better if I do a reel or a carousel?

Oh, my God. Or do you like this caption? How many emojis? I swear that's what they're working with right now. I just want to know, like, did they have to get approval from Taylor's team for Donna to go on Traders? That's what I'm saying. For sure. Like, where does the approval end?

Right. And also, Taylor, you're cool for saying yes. I know. I would say no. I would be like, no. Yeah. But she must really love that man if she's like, get that bag. If she agreed to that.

But Lauren and I also said this. Like, does this mean that some wealth is not trickling down because she needs to go on Traders? Maybe she wants to go on Traders for the experience. No, she wants to for the fame. No, I think she's like, loves it. which is weird is the show i think donna loves the fame yeah oh yeah she's always on the today show she's always on the red carpet she's like a guest correspondent she's always there and i'm like what is she hawking and they're like nothing she's just there or like she's like it's wild i'm

like at least lindsey lohan's mom hat was selling wares you know what i mean i love donna i love the whole family i think it's amazing i i don't love donna i do like the whole family but i talk a lot of shit about donna on our podcast she has a shitty personality well she's been very sheepish and like tepid about taylor swift yeah for someone as thirsty as her i'm sorry you should be like spilling the tea spilling the tea or just be more gleeful about it but she's been so lukewarm why is she on traitors yeah she's scared because which is a bitch they're they're out and like i understand in the beginning where it's like what do i say they're out everywhere like very all over each other madly in love like at this point she can be like we're so happy like yeah wow this is

incredible yeah no no i think okay sure i think what happened is there was a conversation of like mom you're gonna get asked about this downplay it like just be cool about it mom and this is how she thinks she's being cool is by being like yeah i don't really know what's going on with them um okay megan fox uh and mgk's baby has a name saga blade everyone let's just do our first top of the head thoughts on saga baby saga i think that this relationship has been a saga so maybe it's a no to that it's over right they're no longer together um broken couples make bad decisions is didn't they make a decision broken a broken broken couple they would make bad decisions on baby names you like saga

it's not Sega it's Saga it's not Sega Genesis it has like a negative connotation to it yes it does so why okay also let me say

why does it sound like a BDSM thing yeah like Blade is the middle name right well and there's this old video that I saw of them that popped up

when they were like they're doing some press thing and they're like baby names this is before she was even pregnant and they like threw it around

they're like dagger like it was like all these like crazy things but they threw Blade in so they like They kept it since the Cosmo

Get to Know You quiz? That's literally what I think it was. Oh! Give your kid a fighting chance at being normal. Exactly. I did see... I mean, Blue Ivy is crushing, so I don't know. She's crushing, but she's not named after a weapon.

And that could be why. I actually don't mind Blade. I think Saga is the problem. Saga's the problem. So weird. Because, like, it sounds gross. Like, I'm whatever ocean name your kid whatever you want to name it but like saga is weird they explained it i didn't see this quote their daughter okay they named baby okay this is why they named it my their daughter's journey the five years of her culmination of coming disappearing coming back again disappearing

maybe she had this sounds like she has miscarriages coming back again she's an epic story and that's what saga means i'm also that machine gun kelly said this i'm also of norwegian heritage so i think that's a nordic goddess of storytelling i think and i think she put i think i'm like okay thank god see this is kelty's oh i'm also of nordic heritage and so that's a nordic goddess of storytelling and i think she has a storytelling future ahead of her yeah with your parents she's gonna have a podcast girl it's gonna blow us all out of the water oh that makes a little bit more what's the nickname there sag i i just know her her memoir it's gonna be titled saga and we're gonna hear all about this shit i love that you can't say saga saga but isn't it a

saga no it's a saga oh it's a saga that is the correct pronunciation yeah really it's like pasta and pasta it has to be saga my mom says canadian say pasta okay well you want pasta for dinner what if it comes back around they're like it's pronounced love and light to saga blade love and i kind of like now that it's a girl i like and i don't actually after hearing the like explanation of it i don't hate it as much either no i think it's saga blade i mean calling a girl blade is kind of dope i'm into it unless she like wears like you know row flats and like you know pearl necklaces yeah i would not want to be a i'm not going to be a saga i'm not going to rename myself saga saga yes yes we're so proud of you we're so proud of you

the lady gang okay um dolly parton reportedly passed when she was asked to appear on megan markle's netflix show saying past you know what you have said that a few times on this trip about dolly parton passing and like every time i think i'm like did she die and i didn't hear she passed on lady gang she passed on pop apologists and she passed on megan markle i mean good riddance honestly well she knew that was a sinking ship because the podcast is like on on hiatus no i think for the netflix show oh she didn't want to make the jam she would have been amazing on it she would have been great i think that there are some celebrities who really have said we do not want to because what if you go on megan's show you're cutting ties with the monarchs you're

cutting ties with the windsors they don't want to they won't with you you're right yeah so taylor swift was also invited to be on her first podcast i believe and said no when she got a handwritten note from megan it was a no through her people so for sure it's keeping up that relationship i have an unpopular opinion well kelty and i share it like we did enjoy watching the show we love no the show's amazing that's not unpopular a lot of people loved it and this flowers print goes sold out again before i could get my hands on it i just there's everything is so serious everything is hard even watching like if you watch love island or you watch traders like you got to keep people are like avoiding a spoiler on the internet is so difficult like i'm a drag

race girl like i can't even if i don't watch drag race on friday night i can't go on the internet all weekend because i'll see a spoiler so there's something nice about it just being like i'm just gonna look at you shaking the sugar over a pound cake and i'm gonna feel nothing i appreciate what she's giving us like when people show us clips of her being insufferable on podcasts i am delighted are you guys delighted it is entertaining that's for sure i thought the show was like background tv like it's nice it's soothing you're right so many things are so heavy and serious it is background tv it doesn't spike my blood pressure like or my cortisol like work that that is very true i just find her musings during it to be so in like oh yeah where she's like it's love

is all about the details like it's just like who talks like she talks like she's also like she's reading an audible version of chicken soup for the soul yeah everything is a lesson moral story you know archie picked out the eggs from the farmhouse and her children the way her children talk ostensibly and she recounts it i find it to be a little bit i'm a little incredulous oh yeah i certainly don't want to be for someone who can't pronounce saga thank you so much what is incredulous me it just means like I doubt it like I you know yeah no I'm not buying anything I know it's like that under the veil is 1000 from my assumption a monster yes and I think the reason she talks like that is because she's imitating what a nice

charming person would say and sound like and yeah that means I love watching it I'll be tuning in for season two absolutely well and I'll come on what was the podcast that she did with that other lady that was like it was the most or no the one she was the girl from it cosmetics oh is that who it was and they're yeah that's the name of the podcast no she just conversation there was

a moment where they were like I haven't done it the power of the word yet you can't you can't reach that shelf yet I'm like what is happening I love it I was not like I was taking mushrooms no literally okay Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise have publicly reunited for the first time

in 24 years. They have not been seen together in public talking to each other since 1994's Interview with a Vampire movie premieres. So hot. The hottest. Brad Pitt's facelift is...

I think it looks creepy. What? Oh, so creepy. He looks great. Oh, no. Oh, no. What do you think, guys? I just feel like I'd like to see him reunite with his kids before Tom Cruise. You know? Damn! oh you want to see

Brad Pitt reunite yeah I also want Tom to reunite both of them but especially Brad Pitt he had a family of six children

and has not been pictured with one of them in basically a decade didn't they all like kind of disown him yes I think he just you're an armchair

expert person did you listen I didn't listen to the Brad one yet but I I think he just talked about like that he got sober

and he's trying to put his life back together I believe that but yeah but like he doesn't both of those guys like nobody ever acknowledges that fact

that they're dads and also not something crazy though is that nicole kidman and tom cruise's kids like they're they're two kids i think i believe that they adopted have all stayed with tom cruise and stayed in scientology they do not have a relationship with nicole kidman as far as i know interesting yeah i didn't know that yeah the two kids that they adopted when they were together are scientologists now probably just got like yeah not by their own totally right right yeah oh my gosh when i met tom cruise and i thought i was gonna be his wife yeah okay how did that go what happened in person he just had good eye contact okay he has the secret like i think they

teach it in scientology i have no idea but he has the secret of like he walked up to me i was doing an interview i was in rome for mission impossible and he walked up and he goes great boots and then he just looked at me and he was answering the questions but he was like it was just sucking you in he saw my soul yeah yeah yeah wow i mean i'm arrested also i will say him doing his own stunts is very impressive to me oh it's it's hot it's hot and i don't find him hot but like that's hot i don't i don't think he's doing them oh you think it's a lot i don't think he's doing as many as they're saying because i don't think they could be insured i don't think that production could be insured knowing that tom cruise is jumping out of a helicopter like without anything i don't buy

this you make a great point there's no way there there's no way he probably is bending the truth the way that i bend the truth about pretty much everything but like you know making something sound more exciting than it is is the story of my life but that is what they're doing with his stunts. Yeah.

Interesting. There's no way. They can't afford him dying. Right. Right. I mean honestly it would be great for the movie. It would have been better

for the movie actually. I think if he did die during the stunts more people would go to the movies. Yeah. They're not watching this movie.

But then there wouldn't be another final final destination. No this is the last Mission Impossible. Oh it is? Oh then that would be a good one to die on.

Do we believe that he's dating Anna de Armas or whatever? I don't think it's real. She is the hottest person I think she's the most beautiful human ever on planet Earth. She is absolutely stunning, and she is no stranger to a relationship for PR. She knows what she's doing.

For sure. And it's working. We're talking about her. Okay, speaking of PR relationship, our last topic of the day, Bianca Sensori. She wore edible lingerie while out with Kanye West. She stepped out in a fully edible candy bra and underwear set while going out with Kanye to a studio in New York City. Did you guys see it? Was it this studio?

it was not this for this interview she sat on this very couch in her edible underwear to our knowledge when's the last time you guys thought you know what would

really spice up my marriage is an edible because I think it was the it was like the candy one yeah have you ever put on an edible underwear in your life

never and I wouldn't happen Becca has for sure no no I have for sure no you have wow

I just know I'd be complaining about how cold I was the whole time also then there's like chafing they're eating it and there's like spit ew

you know it's crumb sticky sticky yeah she's also an example of i still what's her name i don't know her name i know like you've done all of these things and you're with kanye west like how you've played it all wrong you are not on a darmus like you're doing how is it possible she's done all these crazy things and i still don't know her name like i need her to hear me and know that this is not the way this is not helping you with your next um venture with your next instagram influencing career no it's not it's not like we need we need a white label skincare line from her or something, maybe an underwear line,

an invisible underwear line, I don't know. Maybe a vagina serum. Yeah, literally. Beautiful. Literally like an ingrown hair serum. Oh, that'd be good. Very on brand. Hear us, Bianca. Is that her name? Oh my god. Okay, I have one more. Paris Hilton bought Mark Wahlberg's former mansion for $63 million.

Whoa! Who just has $63 million? I guess Paris does. It's 30,000 square feet, which sounds like a disaster to me. That's insane. Six acre lot. It has a five hole golf course, driving range sports court skate park grotto style pool with waterfalls and slides a home theater a fitness center a library a wine cellar and a cigar cellar how did mark walberg have 63 million dollars well i guess it's probably appreciate have you never heard good vibrations

at a sports i just didn't think he'd be worth that much money is that him yes that's marky mark i did not know that i didn't know that i didn't either i did not know that he i don't know about mark i didn't know that marky mark was mark walbert you guys are so young i feel like marky mark and the funky bunch oh my god that house sounds like a nightmare i completely agree way too much dust you just know there's like in that grotto pool you just know like it needs to be cleaned it maybe needs to just be renovated like no my roman empire is rich people like paris hilton like we saw in our documentary they live in these monster monstrous houses that look like a cheesecake factory inside it's always so poorly done it's always tuscan

brown granite and it's just like let's have a more diminutive structure that's well done on the interior i think i have a theory though on like the moment in time it's kind of like when people get famous they get stunted in that age it's the same with their interior design so the moment that like britney came into all that money it was the era of tuscan you know like it's and so that's why it looks like the Olive Garden in her lobby. And same with Mark Wahlberg. They stop at where they were famous. It's like, it's how are

Kylie Jenner's in 20 years when, like, this vibe is not it anymore. They'll be sherpa everywhere. They don't ever evolve. Yeah, that's true. But his house, I did see it featured in his docu-series that he did during the pandemic.

Was it nice? It was a beautiful home. Okay. Good for us. Still too big. Good for you. Well, on that note, We weren't here for a long time. We were here for a good time. Social support from Kali Kulera. Editing from Jared Monaco. Producing from Steve Delameter.
