I'm Liz Kelly. I'm Kate Hallowell. And I'm Amelia Wadamire.

And today we're going to talk about the Grammys, the week in celebrity print journalism, and the 10-year anniversary of he's just not that into you. Crime Media is not dead. Every time you hear the bell, we have to change topics. no matter what. And now, let's spill the tea. Okay, first category, apologies to everyone. Every time we talk about this person, we say it'll be the last, but she keeps doing stuff.

She is. She's really in the zeit guys. For hopefully one of the last times, we're checking in with Ariana Grande, because she just released her new album. Yes. It's Thank You Next, and she just dropped Sweetener like yesterday. Yeah. But she's back with another one.

What do we think? I mean, I haven't listened to all the songs, but I like Seven Rings. and the thank you next. I don't know. That's it? I know. I've just been busy. Did you listen to those two songs and that's it?

Is that what you're saying? Yeah. To be fair, it was released yesterday. Yeah, we can't keep up with her. What does she expect? I know, it's true. It's pretty good. It's like, it's what you would expect.

Like, they're all like pretty catchy. Right, of course. A lot about Mac Miller. I was going to say, didn't she, she wrote a song where she like kind of apologized to Pete for still being in love with. Yep. It was her song, Ghostin, and her lyrics. are, I know you hear me when I cry.

I try to hold an it at night when you're sleeping next to me, basically saying she's weeping over the fact that she's actually in love with Mac Miller and Pete Davidson is sleeping right next to her. Yeah. Can't be easy to listen to that. But honestly, it feels like he's so over her, which is unfortunate. I mean, he's out with Pete Beck and so. Seriously, yeah, he's doing great.

Totally fine. Yeah, she also released a new video for Breakup with Your Girlfriend. I'm bored. Incredible songs. Yeah. And first, I was seeing a lot of, like, controversy about this because people were like, oh, she's just like making out with this girl. Oh, sure. Like, so the guy can watch, whatever.

Basically, the video is she and Charles Mountain from Riverdale. Super hot. So hot. Very handsome, yes. And then an actress who looks like her is like styled to look like her. And it turns out that throughout the whole video, she's like seducing the guy, seducing the girl, like going back and forth. But I saw online that the reason the girl is styled like her is because it's like she's falling in love with herself. Oh, so it's like the self-love continues.

Yes. Yeah. So honestly, I'm, like, pretty into it. Yeah. Love the casting of Charles Paulton. Yeah. Put him in anything anytime ever, please. She wears, like, three different wigs in the video, as anyone would expect from Mary on a Grande video.

Like, checks that box. Right. It's fun. It's a good time. Yeah. Listen to it, Amelia. Okay, I will. I will.

I mean, yeah, because I'm not going to be watching the Grammys. True. That's the next thing that we're checking in with is the Grammys. Are we going to watch? No. Right off the bat. No. I just know. I don't have any interest.

Sorry. I mean, that's what YouTube was made for. Like the next day Click on one of those like best performances lists Watch the ones that are worth your time Yeah I might watch just because I'm like so online Yeah

I like have to be aware of like what You gotta send out those tweets I gotta do the tweets I gotta know what the memes are Right yeah And there are a couple highlights Gaga's gonna perform I really wanted to sing something from a Star is born

But I don't want her to sing shallow Because we're about to see that at the Oscars Yeah She doesn't really have any new songs right Other than a Starzborn Why you both are looking at me? I'm not looking at it I'm not looking for it.

That's not a highlight for me personally. Yes, as we know. Well, she could sing the one, the song she sings at the end of that movie. Yeah, she could sing that one. She could do the ass song. What's I love if she would do the ass song? You saw a Star is born where it's like... So like, why do you have to do that to me and those jeans, right?

Isn't that? I think those are two different songs, right? Oh, is that her in the pop phase of her life? See, this is what proves we need more of not shallow. I can tell you every lyric is shallow, but we need the depth. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

Right. So she's going to perform. Right. Also released was a couple of photos of the seating turrets, which I love looking at these, too. And it made me really think about who I would want to be seated next to you. And I figured that you don't want to be next to a person who has like crazy facial expressions or is really like out there because the camera will constantly panties. And you can't drink, you can't like look bored. Yeah, exactly. You don't want to be next to someone who's on camera all the time. Right. So for example, a couple sitting arrangements. It's Mark Gronson is sitting in between Katie Perry and Lady

Gaga. Oh, wow. Fine. Ricky Martin is on the other side of Katie Perry, so lucky him. I would definitely want to be sitting next to Dolly Parton. Yes. Okay, this was my take as well. She's with BTS. Yes. Oh, my gosh. That's incredible. Right. Just so confusing, yet so like happy and joyful no matter what's happening. Oh, my God. I want to be in that group. And on her other side is Chris Stapleton, who I believe is a country artist who we do not respect that genre here. But I would definitely want to be sitting next year. Is that one dating Lauren from the bachelor? I think he's. He's married and has like seven kids. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Never mind, no mind. And then J-Lo's next to Cardi B. Anna Kendrick will be there, also a bad person to sit next to her because she doesn't have like. She has like really snarky, dumb, not funny commentary. And she'd want to be made into a jip. You know that she wants the internet thing. Yeah, she'd have like the reaction faces down. I can't picture my mind.

I'm curious about J-Lo and Cardi B. I feel like that's either like they're going to like really turn up or like they're both going to like leave early. Well, I feel like J-Lo is very even keel at these things. She doesn't really fuck with the whole like. huge reactions or like, do you think she'll bring Alex Rodriguez? I would say probably. Yeah, for sure.

They're tight enough by now to like, yeah. Right. And I mean, yeah, please tell me your opinion on post-blown. Okay, I would not want to sit by him because he would probably smell bad. And I just don't, I don't really want him winning anything. No. None of the big four, you know? No.

Just like I. Yeah, he's also performing with the red hot chili peppers. Of course he is. Which is just a cursive. I hate every word in that sense. So disgusting. That's going to be like. your bathroom break. Absolutely. All right. Moving on. This week in social media, Amelia,

you go first. Okay, so Richard E. Grant, who is in the movie, Can You Ever Forgive Me? And he's dominated for an Oscar, I think, for Best Supporting Actor. I didn't see the movie, but I heard he was great in it. And he's just living my best life on Twitter. I'm just going to put it out there. He is tweeting these selfies with all these famous people, like Gaga, Bradley, Timothy, Glenn, everyone. And he's just enjoying it. He's soaking. He's. up the celebrity. He's just having a great time. And I'm so happy for him because he seems like a delightful person. Truly delightful. Okay, real quick, if you had to pick Richard E. Grant out of a lineup, Liz Kelly, would you be able to do it? Absolutely not. I've seen, my eyes just like went

blank. As soon as she brought that up, I'm just going to sit this one out. I just had to check. But have you seen Spice World? Yes. He plays the manager. Oh, I know exactly who that is. Oh, great. That's all you need. Thank you. Yeah. Okay, we're good now. We're back to. Yeah, I love someone who, like, is just really enjoying, like, their Oscar nomination. Yeah, totally. This is the peak of my career so far, and I'm going to enjoy every single second. Exactly. Yeah, good for him.

Yeah. Other social media happenings, Andy Cohen almost broke the internet with his baby announcement. Did he? Yeah, to me, in my version of the internet, he broke it. He just has this newborn son, Benjamin Allen Cohen via surrogate. The Instagram account comments by celebs did God's work and compiled everyone who wished him well. Basically, if you have a verified Instagram account, you congratulated him with some hard emoji and be like, you're going to be such good dad. It's like Anna Farris, Gabrielle Union, Bethany Franklin.

There's like three lines of notes. I have the Backstead Boys came out, Dan Von Furstenberg, Navajo. Wow. He covers all the bases of celebrity culture. That's true. Yeah, so there are 100. So congrats. That's all I have to say.

Wait, but your favorite person was at the shower. John Mayer. Oh, him. Yeah. Yeah, he was. I just, it's so weird that they're friends. I mean, good for them, but. Right.

Also, he made like, he got him an amazing. amazing baby gift. I feel like John Mayer's that cool uncle, you know, that will just shower this baby with luxurious gifts. Also, great name. What did you say Benjamin Allen Cohen? Benjamin Alan Cohen. That's a family name. It's a really cute. Yeah. Good job. One more thing, Liz. Yes. That's what I'm excited about. Zach Efron has officially followed Selena Gomez on Instagram as of this week. And I put insert eye emoji here because everybody's got to be keeping one eye out on this, you know, budding relationship. Yeah, potential relationship. It makes, Yeah, exactly.

I think something's going to happen. I really do. Oh, my God. Have they ever met? Have they ever hung out? They must have. Yes. The Disney circles.

Yeah, yeah. The Disney circles overlap. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Wow, that's interesting. I actually, like, they seem too logical a couple to, like, even happen almost. And I don't ever see them, like, going out in public and, like, eating at no boom, getting paparazzied. But I think something could happen.

When celebrities follow each other on Instagram. It's meaningful. Yes, it's meaningful because they know all of their fans are watching their every movie. And they want. And they want it to be. Demilovato's good at this too back in the day. Yes. Oh, my God.

She would purposely comment and follow people and then post a really hot photo of herself. Oh my God. She did that with Henry Cavill. That was amazing. That was exactly it. Did you see that came? It was utterly amazing.

So sending up a prayer for Zach Efron and Selena Gomez. Can't wait for that. Okay. Speaking of relationships or lack thereof, this is T-Times' biggest relationship news ever. Amelia, you go first. Okay, so Jennifer Lawrence

has been staying out of the spotlight. But she recently got engaged to Cook Maroney, who is a gallerist at a gallery called Gladstone Gallery. And he loves art because he went to NYU to study art history. And I just want to say that if she decides to change her name, she could go by Jenna Maroney, like from 30 Rock. Oh, incredible. Yeah. I saw that in the outline and I was like, I don't know who that is. But it's in all caps, so it must be important.

I assume that was a character and little woman. And I was like, okay, yeah. Sure, sure, sure. Yeah. Ciparoni, first of all, incredible name. Yeah. Sounds like a soap opera character or like an old-timey, I don't even know, like an old-timey cop. Yeah.

Like Sheriff Moroni or something. This is my favorite pairing. I always love when A-listers end up with entertainment adjacent or other high-profile individuals. This is the right move for her. Also, she's done so many interviews where she's so serious about marriage. She takes this stuff. Like, she's not just going to get married willy-nilly. Right.

It was a quick relationship, though, right? Yeah, it was like six months. Well, you know, maybe they're in love. It's fine. Good for them. Best of luck. Okay. Other relationship news?

Kate, this is one you, I know you don't know anything about, but I'm going to make you announce it. Are Kylie and Travis already married? I'm going to assume this is Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott. It sounds like a foreign language I're saying. Are they already married? No. I don't think so. They did post something or she posted a picture of them together and what did she say, baby two?

Baby number two question of bar? Oh, right. I saw that actually. Which is like what you predicted. Oh, yes. This was a Liz Kelly official tea time, 2019 prediction. It's very early on. It is only February.

But yes, I think we are on track to make this happen. So what was the official prediction that they have a family? No, they're going to have another baby, baby number two. And you said, yeah, like a family and they would kind of like settle into Hidden Hills or something. Yes, yes, which is happening. Which is literally happening. Yeah. They're madly in love.

The rumor that she got married is because she's got so many diamond rings on her, all of her fingers at any one time. including on her ring finger that people are led to believe that they're married. I don't think it is. I think they're going to have some big blowout when it eventually happens. So they're not married, but they're extremely happy together. Good for them. Yeah. Great.

Also, Kardashian Relationship News. Kendall Jenner was spotted out with Ben Simmons, who she's been kind of dating on and off since last May. This is important because she's so secretive about her relationships that the fact that they are photographed publicly doesn't happen super often. She's photographed at every one of his basketball games, basically, courtside. They went to Cypriani in New York City, which is, again, just like paparazzi bait. They wanted to be seen. She actually sat courtside with his mom last month. So I feel like this is becoming more and more serious.

Yeah, that's pretty official. Yeah, she also went on Ellen and Ellen asked her, which brings me to a question, like, why is Kendall Jenner so bad at interviewing? Yes. Yes, right? She has no personality. I know. Anyway, Ellen asked her to confirm. She basically just sat there with a smile on her face

And then she goes, okay, how long have you been dating him? She sits there with a smile on her face And she goes, I'm a bit now And that was it. Also like, Alan is like just so under, obviously like under the heel of like the celebrity guest But like if she says something, it's been agreed upon by every single person That's ever worked for Kendall Jenner. So like you know it's coming.

Like you should not be surprised. Yeah, you've probably sat with Alan and practiced this question. Seriously. This is really what you end up on. That's true. And also, there's no reason to be that coy. Like, I get not wanting to publicly speak. Right.

But it's just a bit now. And then she just smiles. That's not an answer. You're on television. Yeah, that was painful. Get some words out. For real. Get it together.

Okay. Next category is Tea Time's Obsession Corner. Again, apologies. This is a name that's been circulating tea time far too much. Kate, go ahead. There is no such thing. Okay, I was going to rein myself in and not talk about this this week. I was getting multiple tweets.

asking me to comment on the recent Timothy Shalmay news. What a flex. I wasn't even going to do anything because I didn't want to put my co-stars. Verified Twitter account user. Yeah, the people just demanded this of you. Listen, I give the people what they want. Okay, so here's the story. This girl was on a plane with Timothy Shalmay.

And as you do these days, she tweeted her entire experience of sitting next to him on this flight. It was a three-hour flight. Her name is Aluncruza Giridar, I believe. That was totally off-the-cuff pronunciation, so apologies that that was wrong. So basically she tweeted this whole experience. She sat down next to him. She wasn't sure it was him. She was, like, texting her friends about how it was him.

She, like, secretly listened to the call me by your name soundtrack to, like, see if he would say anything. He didn't say anything. So she, like, took some time before she approached him. She was like, you look like Timothy Shalame. He was like, ha, ha. And then, like, a couple, like, an hour later, she was like, are you actually him? And he was like, yes. So I think she did a very, like, considerate.

job of kind of leaving him alone as someone who clearly is like a fan. Right. If you're going to sit on an economy class and a domestic flight and you're Timothy's Jolome, you have to expect this.

And also this is kind of best case scenario. I know she got a lot of flack you were telling me. She was respectful. So respectful. He's got to imagine that this is going to happen to. Right. And like she even said like in the thread, like you can tell that she was only

continuing the conversation because he was so nice to her. Yeah. And like this is not being great PR for him. So like it's fine. But she did ask him. some fun questions. One, why are you saying an economy class? Liz, what was the next one? Have you met Beyonce? Which is important

to ask, but unfortunately he has not. And then the last one is how is Steve Krell, which is 100% what I would ask. That's incredible. And he said he's amazing and offered to FaceTime him. That is so awesome. He's just such a good guy. He comes off as great. Right, but we were talking about like, what would you ask Timothy Shalame if you're next year on a plane?

What is Madonna like? That's a good one. That feels like something you would actually ask. Yeah, yeah. He's like, huh. Donna, yeah. I want to ask him about his hair products. Oh, my God.

He's got a conditioner and shampoo, I know for sure. But I want to know what comes after. Does he brush it? His hair is so beautiful. It's perfectly quaffed. It's great. So I thought a lot about this. I saw you write down, what would you say if you were sitting next on a plane?

100% my honest answer is I would not say a word to him. Are you kidding? Kate Hallowell. 100%. There is no doubt in my mind. If I sat down next to Timothy Chalman on a flight, I would make no moves whatsoever. I would not talk to him and I would not let him know that I knew who he was.

I don't believe this for a second. I promise you, that is 100% of what happened. Would you take an incognito photo though? Don't do that. I would be like internally freaking out for three hours, but I would like, I would not want him to know that I knew who he was. Or I was obsessed with him.

I would be very self-conscious about my fandom. I was going to say 90% of your Twitter timeline is about him. How could you possibly pass up that opportunity? That's why I wouldn't say anything. Because I would just feel so self-conscious. about like how freaked out he would be if he knew how weird I was about him that I would just sit there. He does. Yeah, that wouldn't matter. I've thought about it

a lot, you guys. I definitely wouldn't say anything. Fine, fine. But I would live vicariously through this girl. It was great. The other thing we're obsessed with Kate? It's rom-com season. Yes, it is. Hell yeah. A lot of great magazines this week. We're going to talk about that in a minute. But Entertainment Weekly just put out their reunion issue. On the cover. It's so good. On the cover was the cast of my best friend's wedding. Julie Roberts,

Dermott Moroni. Impossible name. Sorry. It's hard. Truly impossible. Cameron Diaz, 27 dresses, 500 days of summer were also included. Yep. First of all, does anyone have, like, obsessed with any of these movies?

No, but I enjoyed them. I enjoyed them. Kind of how I felt, too. I like my best friend's wedding, but I'm, like, kind of out on 500 days of summer. What? Because it's kind of sad? It's like, eh. Wow.

Okay. Joseph Gordon Levin is like, eh, to me. Oh, wow, that's a mistake. Yeah, I was going to say. He's incredible. Apologies. Yeah, I'm obsessed with the genre as a whole. You're right.

Like, does 27 dresses scream out to me in the night? No. But, like, I like all those movies enough where, like, I can be obsessed with the cover of the magazine and the idea of this. Right. And they all looked great. Deer Roberts, Cameron Diaz. On that cover.

Dermal-Oroney still looks fabulous. The gray hair is just impeccable. He's really aged into the whole, like, silver fox thing. It looks great. Right. And I'm really liking this new era of, like, people rebecoming obsessed with. the rom-com genre. Yes.

Any press for my man, Liam has a new movie, isn't it romantic, which is also a rom-com, is good press. So I'm in favor of people talking about it and wanting to see it. Yeah, we've got that one.

Billy Eichner's doing on with Judd-Aptow that was just announced. Oh, yes. We're in a good, like, area for rom-coms, right? Oh, yeah, well, that Taraji P. one is coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaking of rom-coms, it was recently the 10-year anniversary

of the iconic movie he's just not that into you. Yes. Because this was a Bill Simmons request, we are ripping off the rewatchables and doing a mini, many, many, mini version of it. We're going to hit on a few different things about this movie. Off the top of, like, please go watch it. It's so good. We all... It holds up.

It does hold up. It does hold up in a really weird way. We're, like, watching it now is a completely different experience than it was watching it when it came out. Sure. Right. Yeah, it holds up and then it doesn't hold up in certain parts. First of all, the cast absolutely iconic. Yes.

Okay. It's incredible. Drew Barrymore. Garletcher Hansen, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Goodwin, Jennifer Connolly, Justin Long, Ben Affleck, Braddock, Kevin Connolly. Like, I could, oh, Chris, Chris Hofferson, shout out to my mom who loves that guy. And then Busy Phillips is randomly in it. Natasha Legerro is randomly in it. It's really, really stacked.

It's extremely stacked, yeah. And, like, not even, like, they're the A-Lister's, and then there are the people who were about to become A-List. And then there's, like, Justin Long and Jennifer Goodwin. But, like, mostly it's, like, it's a really, like, peak era for a lot of them as well. And I feel like a lot of movies. And I feel like a lot of movies in the last five or so years tried to do it like Valentine's Day. Yes. New Year's Eve.

Yes, that one. They tried to do the same thing and it doesn't do it as well. No, right. Okay. Cast power rankings? Who wants to attempt this one? I mean, right now, like obviously Bradley Cooper is huge. Jennifer Aniston has kind of gone downhill in recent years, career-wise.

Oh, sure. She was great in the Aveno commercials that I've seen recently. Smartwater killed it. Exactly. I love her in those. I feel like at what, when the. this was made, it was like Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Aniston. Yeah. I feel like now it, and you were probably to disagree with me, but be happy

with who's number two. It goes, Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper, Ben Affleck, Scarlet Johansson, busy Phillips is up there now. She's up there, yeah, yeah, I guess so. Drew Barrymore and like everybody else and then Justin Long. Yeah. In 2019, Sandy. Poor Justin Long. What happened to him? I saw him at that sushi stop place a couple months back. That's not helpful. Okay, I'm sorry. Well, he seemed to be enjoying food, so yeah. So he's okay. He's making up money to enjoy food. Okay.

Yeah. Jennifer Goodman is on like a TV show. Oh, and she was in Zootopia, but I mean, animated. Right, right, right, right. Yeah, no. Not a star is born. I feel like Bradley Cooper is at the top of this list. I don't think Jennifer Aniston is about Bradley Cush.

Except now with his appearance on Oprah where he was like, I'm embarrassed to not get nominated. Yeah, maybe he actually wins an Oscar. Okay, enough about Bradley Cooper. Okay. Who won this movie? Like, in terms of. Oh, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston. No, like, which couple?

Which storyline? Yeah. It's them. It's for sure. It is them. It is them. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

It is offensively charming in this movie. Oh, my God. And he is so handsome. He is extremely. I know. Amelia Lever's. I love him. I love seeing Bradley Cooper's original hairline.

I was like so cute to see that after all these years. I was like, that is real. Yeah. You kind of get the appeal when you watch that. You're like, oh, right. He was like that. Right. That's definitely age.

So what's age the best and what's age the worst? Ben Afflegan and Bradley Cooper have aged the worst since this movie. Yes. Okay. Also, the whole idea of a man, Justin Long, basically preaching to Jennifer Goodwin. That whole storyline is like mansplaining the movie. Right. And then like there's like a whole gaslighting thing.

I'm like, okay, this isn't. Well, and if we've learned anything in recent months with Ashley I from The Bachelor and Haley Bieber, do not take no for an answer, ladies. you can will relationships into existence. And Chrissy Teigen, too, because she was like, I told John we were not bringing home. The women in this movie are portrayed so helpless and so lost, like, they need a man to guide them through, like, how men think. Which is not true. In 2019, this movie, we were talking about this.

2019, all the rom-coms were, like, one woman in the forefront. And then there's this, like, man on the side that, like, comes along for this funny, zany ride. Yeah. This is basically a man telling a woman, like, how men think and how men think. to navigate romance? No. Not a... Don't take the advice.

Right. Who is the least garbage man in this movie? This was not a rewatchables category. This is a me question? Yeah. Because I think it's Ben Affle. Oh, 100%. I still can't get over how good he looks in this movie.

I'm anti Ben Affleck, largely. He's great in this movie. He's so charming. I'm speechless. Yeah. He's just like peak athlete. He's on a sailboat. He's got the smile where he like smiles out of the side of his mouth and like talks out of the side of his mouth.

Don't do that to me. Oh, like, that's why people like to. He's like the perfect amount of tan. He looks great. Oh, God. It was hard to re-contextualize that, that afflick, with the one that we have now. That's true. Okay, I actually don't mind the one now.

The whole, back tattoo and all? Yeah, I'm fine with it. Honestly. Interesting. Okay, next category. Tea Time celebrates print media. Okay. What a week.

I know. This was a lot. The first one that we've got to talk about that I'm going to really try. I'm going to try not to quote, like, the entire feature. This was Justin Bieber and Haley Bieber, aka Haley Baldwin, on the cover of Vogue. And they talked a lot about their relationship. Yeah. Okay, again, just a few quotes I want to pull out for you guys.

One day, Justin walked into Hillsong and was like, hey, you got older. And I was like, yeah, what's up? This happened to me in the eighth grade, actually, after I got my braces off, a guy came up and was like, yeah. And then that was like a connection. We knew that, like, now it was in the running. We were like game on. So you're saying like their emotional maturity is about like an eighth grade level.

Yeah, it's like when you know someone. when you're young and then you grow up a little bit and you like look hotter, better, you feel good. And then you're like, hey, what's up? That was that exact moment for those two. Wow. This is really important to me because I don't say a lot. I say a lot of weird shit on this podcast, but a lot of my conspiracy theories I keep close

to the vest because, you know, I don't know. I'm not really, I shouldn't be commenting on these things, but I don't know. But I freaking called that Justin Bieber was a born-again virgin, and the reason why they rushed to the altar was because they wanted to have sex. I called this. She called it so hard. You called it on the podcast and also like multiple times in Slack and like in person. You were tied to this theory.

We kind of just like humored you. Right. No one believed me. And yet I was right. Basically he said he was, Justin was more than a year into a self-imposed tenure of celibacy. He had a legitimate problem with sex. Blah, blah,

blah, blah, blah. He did it to become closer to God and wanted to feel better about himself. Basically, confirm what I knew, which was that he needed to take a break, born again virgin, found Haley Baldwin slash Beaver and then was like, let's freaking go.

Let's get married. Let's do it. I wish she could see the slack messages when Liz read this and slacked me about how she was right. It's all caps. There are a lot of just like nonsense like smashing her fingers on the keyboard

and then she said, wow, wow, where are all my haters? I didn't know you were going to bring that up. So listen, just congrats. Thank you. Seriously. This is a win for you. Thank you, yes.

Yeah, take a W. you. Next print media news. Which one of you wants to take this? It's all Amelia. Okay. So Chris and Kylie on the cover of Architectural Digest and love it. Honestly, I'm wearing a Kylie Jenner branded shirt today. It's true. She is. Why not? If you've got it, flaunt it. Yeah, I agree. I love this cover and I love them and I won't apologize. Yeah. And I think for the first time in my life, I want to go out to Barnes & Noble and buy Architectural Digest just for this. That's the goal. Congrats Architectural Digit. You did it. This is interesting.

So tell me, as someone who doesn't really know, tell me what you learned about their houses from this. Like, what are your takeaways? First of all, I know there was a picture shared where Kylie Jenner has like framed giant condoms on her wall. Yes. Was that the general vibe or was that an outlier? How do we feel about her taste?

No, it's a general vibe. It was, yeah. She had a lot of help. It's a lot of pop art. Yeah, a lot of pop art. But again, not bad. You know, she... It's fun.

It's her personality. Exactly. And also, she's going to move houses every 18 months for the rest of it. of her life. You might as well just throw shit on the wall and see what sticks. You know what I mean? Like she can experiment in this way because she is drowning in money. Exactly. So go for it. She's a billionaire. Do your billionaire thing. Have fun. Yeah. And I just, I love how she has like a room and they're like vintage pictures of Chris Jenner on the wall. It's just everything I could have ever imagined has been played out into this photo shoot. Yes. And it's incredible. And also I feel like she's the

only sister that actually has any fun with their house. If you look at Courtney and, um, Kenner They're all like extremely gothic. It's like very intense, dark, cavernous. Kim Kardashian doesn't have a single piece of art in her house. It's just giant white walls like they're in some concrete igloo. Exactly. Anyway, Kylie Jenner is the only person that will have any fun. Yeah, she has like a personality.

Yeah, exactly. I enjoy. And Kendall looks horrible on the cover of a lore. And that's that in this category. Okay, this next category is not worth the tea. We're going to burn through this, you guys. Yes, quick, Amelia. Yeah.

So, okay, Chris Pratt, he, well, apparently according to, I think, to the Daily Mail or something, he was celebrating his engagement at a London strip club. As you do. As you do, obviously. And I think he, like, fake proposed to one of the strippers. That's what they said in the Daily Mail. So, I don't know. Whatever.

That feels right for him. Yeah. And then he also appeared on Colbert, and he talked about his sheep farm. And you got to go. faster. I hate Christmary. Okay, sorry. And also, I just want to say that I want to make it clear that I don't have a problem with Christianity. I have a problem with him supporting a church that has been really problematic with being anti-LGBQ. Right. And Ellen Page just called him out for that. Yeah. The gay Ellen that we deserve in this time. Exactly. Basically, yeah, he went on Colbert to talk about like Hill Song, which is his church. Which is the church. And stuff like that a lot of celebrities go to. And she just called him out and was like, how about you talk about the anti-gay policies that? Right. Because he was like, oh, my cool pastor, like, I was inspired to do this Daniel fast by him and like, yay, whatever, whatever. And it's like, you're just going to gloss over a horrible history. Okay, cool.

It's bad. Okay, also bad. I've decided. Some other magazines that we didn't get to. One of them was good. One of them was bad. Cardi B was good. She's on the cover of Harper's Bazaar.

It looked fabulous. She was like princess. She was like running away from a castle and like a dress. Yeah, it was great. I'm out on Army Hammer. That's what I decided. That's my new take. He was on the cover of British Dicue, and he's been in my face for two years, and I'm tired of him.

I'm going to say it's too soon to be out on Army Hammer. I feel like he is going to claw his way. Like, if it kills him. I'm not like he's canceled. I'm just tired of seeing his face. But even in his, like, track suit? See, especially that. I'm like, we were doing the tracksuit thing literally a year ago when he didn't get nominated for an Oscar.

How are we still here? Because he's still hurt. He's still hurting. That's a lifelong time apart. Yeah, you're right. Get over it. You're a grown man. All right, those things are not worth the tea.

Not with the tea. All right, last category of the episode is T-Times' most unanswerable question of the week. These are things that have been stumping us. I've thought a lot about a lot of these things this week. Number one, big question. Why is Dina Lohan still in the zeit guys? And why is her boyfriend? Like, what is her boyfriend?

Why is her boyfriend are the two sub-questions that I have. So she revealed on Celebrity Big Brother that she has been talking to someone. in quotes for five years and is going to marry him. And then, you know, the cast, understandably, was asking her questions. She's never met him. Never seen him. They haven't even FaceTime because he, quote, doesn't have an iPhone. And then the rest of the cast was like,

that's a red flag. That's a red flag. My grandma who's 71 has an iPhone. That's what they said to her. All of her castmates told her that she was being catfished, which is 100% true. Yeah. So I have just a lot of questions about her existence. What is she doing?

Why is her voice like, I'd Steena Lohan? It's crazy. How does that happen? Five years. It's 2019 Catfish. The actual TV show has been around for so long. Seriously. You've got to be smarter these days. Yeah, that's like aggressively stupid. Yeah.

It's dumb. No, it's so dumb. This is why it's an unanswerable question. Okay. Next unanswerable question is. This one's niche. Why did Katie Perry throw away Orlando Bloom's beloved, So that's the big question. And the context is she was on the cover of paper magazine.

She was interviewed about their relationship and like their quiet life at home. She said this was in their decluttering the home phase that they went through. She is I guess like really adamant about throwing away lots of different shit. She threw away his beloved toiletry bag, which he said has traveled around the world with him for the last 10 years. Wow. And then he kept it in a small drawer on the side. I wasn't even bothering anybody. And then she goes, he goes, this has been around the world for 10 years, and he wanted to keep it in a drawer.

And I was like, the moment you leave is the moment this thing is going in the trash. Kitty Perry, why? She said that in the interview? Yeah. Just like went after his beloved toiletry bag? Yeah, and then she tossed it out. Wow. Well, maybe if the singing career doesn't work out, she can be like a Marie condo.

The new Marie Conno. Yeah, that's her own Netflix show. What are the toiletry bag due to you? Also, it's kind of a beloved position. I'm sure it went on all of his tour. all of it, like, you know, press tours, whatever, around the world. Yeah, when he was doing, like, Lord of the Rings, probably some good memories. Wow. So when they break up, we're going to point back at this and be like it all started

with the toiletry bag. Oh, God. That's, again, toiletry bag. Wow. That's, okay, those are my two-unquote questions. No, yeah. Amy, yeah, what's your question? Okay, so my question is why?

Hillary Duff. I'm going to go on another mini true crime rant. Please. So she's in this new movie called The Haunting of Sharon Tate, and the trailer came out a few days ago, and it is highly offensive. It's bad. There's a lot of screaming in it. It's over sensationalized.

They add like a supernatural factor that obviously never happened in the original murders. And it's like the tape recorder that's being haunted and playing like stuff. And it's just like, obviously this is done for the over-the-top factor

to gain more traction. And it's just, it's offensive. It's offensive to the murder victims and their real story. And it's just, I don't, why, why? Is it because she's, like, threatened by Margot Robbie playing the same role? Probably. For Quentin Tarantino. Yeah, Hillary Duff has got to stick to younger, that amazing show, but it's like really frilly.

This was a choice. Hillary, you have money. You don't need this. And it's just, you know, I mean, she's super weird, right? Is she? Yeah, I think she is. Why? Oh, the silence was definitely.

Okay, maybe off mic we'll talk about more conspiracy theories about why Hillary Duff is weird. But yeah, I agree. Also, Hillary Duff, not the time to like jump into drama attaching yourself to a project like that. Yeah, this is what you start with. Yeah. Yeah, that's not great. And there's like a difference between, you know, telling someone's story and presenting the facts and what I hope the Quentin Tarantino movie is going to be about.

And then like embellishing on a story and then heightening it to only fit your agenda, which is to freak people out and get money for movie tickets. It's just disgusting. Terrible. Hillary Duff, stop. Yeah, bye. Do less. And on that note, Hillary Duff, hear us loud and clear.

This has been Tea Time. I'm Liz Kelly. I'm Kate Hallow. And I'm Amelia Wademeyer.
