This is a weekly pop culture podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Les Kelly. I'm Kate Hallowell. And I'm Amelia Weddemeier. And today we're going to talk about Jessica Simpson finally giving birth. Bairn, baby. Celebrate relationship red flags. And then Vanessa Hudgens' full descent into Netflix Christmas movies.

It's very tough. Every time you hear the bell, we have to change topics no matter what. And now let's spill the tea. Okay, first category, as always, is tea time checks in with. Amelia, you to go first. Like we said at the top, Jessica Simpson, she gave birth. Finally. Thank God.

God has spared this woman, finally. It seems like it's been years. It really has. Maybe has. Like an elephant's gestation period where it's like 40 years. Yeah, but really, though. And not only has she gone to the hospital like twice in a month or something for bronchitis, not only has she broken her toilet seat.

This has been a historically bad pregnancy. Not only had she had bloated feet. Not only has she looked like, well, look, does her whole body look bloated? It was horrible. And she looked like she was pregnant with like 12 children, yeah, with a bunch of kids. But the baby that she did give birth to was larger, like larger than the average baby. And I can't talk, I think I was a big baby. Like 10 pounds, right?

10 pounds. That's a big baby. Especially for a girl. It was a girl. So what's her name? You looked it up. Bertie Mae. Bertie Mae, which is cute.

Really cute. And it's good compared to her other children's names. One of them is named Ace Newt. K-N. K-N-U-T-E. Do we know that that's how you pronounce that? I think so. Noot.

It's new. I believe you don't pronounce the K. Although maybe Jessica says it pronounces the K. We don't know. Where did she come up with this? Okay, got it. Ace Newt. So Bernie May in comparison is like,

really cute. She gave her daughter two boy names, Maxwell Drew. I kind of like that. I'm not against that. I'm wondering, does she think of the names together? Is she like, yes? Well, she does because she hashtags them on every Instagram photo. Like we're all searching for pictures of her children.

Yeah, you're right. Which we are. Blessings to the Simpson family. Also, we're checking in. There's a ton of movie and TV trailers released this week. It's going to be an amazing summer. First one is John Wick 3. So congrats to Theringer.com.

Everyone's excited basically about it. So I'll ask Liz if she had seen the first two John Wick movies. I asked him that I was like, of course she fucking hasn't. And so I need her. She watched, I watched her watch this trailer. And I would like you to try to explain what you think the John Wick franchise is about just based on the trailer. There were a lot of. like what?

And a lot of like, facial expressions. So I've seen a lot of action movies. I have two brothers and a dad who love this genre. So I feel like I kind of got it down. The clues I took from it was this. So there's a scene,

this woman with a lot of necklaces on, she goes, tell me what you want. And then John Wick, presumably, goes passage. And then she goes, I can't help you with that. So I'm thinking that John Wick three

is about a man. He has a bounty on his head, $14 million bounty. according to the trailer. It's a lot of money. So he's got a bounty on his head. He's running from some sort of authority or knife-wielding crew of people. And then he gets surgery on his neck, it appears, from the trailer.

There's some weird situation going on in the middle of the trailer. And then there's a lot of gunshots, a lot of, like, knife throwing. And then Hallie Berry comes in with a dog. And then Hallie Barry joins in the knife and the gun shooting. And then he's riding on a horse and shoots people. So here's what I think. He's running from some sort of authority Gets on horseback

Kills the bad guys Escapes once again Wow And then that is pretty much how that movie wraps And then John Wick 4 comes out in like two and a half years Honestly I feel like that's pretty much it I think you nailed it Wow great job

All right other trailer that was released was Stranger Things 3 Do you either of you care about that? I haven't seen any of the Stranger Things Come on I've watched season one and I started season two You guys. I know. I'm sorry.

I just didn't capture my imagination like the first season. It's kind of weird that I even like it, like sci-fi and that genre. No, but it's like intriguing. It's so enjoyable. And Winona Ryder. Yeah. All right. So, Stranger Things Season 3 is coming July 4th.

The new trailer, Millie Bobby Brown's hair is grown out. I did see that. Blue eyes, shout us back. It'll be great music. Everyone's like half grown up all of these kids that started out or now, like in their mid-teens. It's crazy. Yeah. They're also adding Ethan Hawke's daughter, Maya Hawk,

toy in his ice cream shop with Steve Harrington, the hot guy, who's like heartbroken. Ooh. Yeah, I'm excited. Could go anywhere. You guys care. Okay, that's fine. I know you guys care about this one, so I'm going to leave time to talk about it.

Go ahead. Once upon a time in Hollywood. Well, first off, they released. You've been looking forward to this for so well. It seems like years. That's why Jessica Simpson has been pregnant. Okay, so you guys saw the posters that came out. Yeah.

Terrible. Yes, I did. They were horrible. What happened? They spent 30 seconds on it. I took one Photoshop in college. and I could have done that. You could have done it.

One Photoshop class. It was just like them leaning up against the sides of the poster. And like the Hollywood side in the background, you're like, okay, cool, it's in Hollywood. Allison Herman was like, this poster is like no homo in poster form. They're like so awkwardly, like, away from each other. The trailer wasn't good either, though. I hated the trailer. Can I say that?

I'm sorry. I just didn't. I kind of liked it. Why? But it was like, but it was like, what? Yeah. It's going on. I thought this was about the Manson murders.

We saw one shot of Charlie Manson. You wanted more Manson murders? No, I just wanted to be like creepier. Yeah. Oh, okay. That's what I wanted. That's fair. It was a lot of like quippy.

You know? Yeah, it reminded me of the Lolloland trailer where it was a lot of like jazz hands. A lot of movement and like cool like colors. A lot of aesthetics. What is this exactly? Yeah. Yeah. And then I mean, I think I should have known this from like the casting and whatever, whatever.

But it's just like I feel like a lot of it is going to be Brad and Leo on set pretending to be actors acting. And it's just like, cool. but we've seen it before. I don't know. It's like that's every single movie that they've ever been in. Right. Yeah.

That's fair. All right. Last trailer that came out that we're talking about is Toy Story 4. Oh, God. Okay. I can't believe

they're still making this series of movies. I love the first two. I skipped the third. Okay, you say you love the first two when you were looking into this, you were like, is his name Andy? Is it Andy?

I mean, okay. So I, realistically, I watch, okay, to be honest, I watched the first one. I don't know what happens since then. I'm not positive. I watched the second.

But I feel like, Maybe I have. No, the third one ended on like a perfect ending. Right. And now they're like, we're bringing it back because we want some money. Right. And they just open like a Toy Storyland. So it's like coincides with that.

So the premise of this one, there's this spork named Forky. I can't believe we're talking about this. And then Forky and Andy go on some adventure. And then the rest of the toys are like come and save them and some fair. Yeah. The problem that people had on social media mostly was that Andy because it's so many years later. He looks like a completely different human being than like what people. recognized him at first from the first one.

Because animation is so good now. Right. I will probably watch us. It's also coming out in the summer. It'll just be a really good season. This summer, right? Yeah, June 21st. Yeah.

Okay, next category is Tea Time Investigates. This is where we put on our detective hats. It is. All right, you go first. Speaking of exciting movies coming out, they just announced that the movie Hustlers, Cardi B just joined this cast. It's a stripper revenge movie based on a 2016

cut article and it stars Cardi B Jennifer Lopez Constance Wu from Crazy Ridge agents

Lily Reinhard from Riverdale Kiki Pomer from Scream Queens Kila and Julia Stiles Which like What are

bringing it back Comeback is happening I'm willing it into existence Where has she been How old is she I'm going to look that up She's probably

She's in like The Born movies Yeah And Ten Things I Hate About You Well, yeah, but that was... Save the Last Dance. Oh, yeah, that's the last time I saw her.

Oh, yeah, that's the last time I saw her. She's going to be a stripper, and I was like, that's weird casting, but then I remembered Save the Last Dance. Oh, she's 37. She's fine. She's got many years left in Hollywood. Okay. But it's about these former strip club employees who basically, like, turn the tables on, like, these Wall Street clients. And this was a real story?

It's a real story. They, like, drugged them. It's like this whole thing where they, like, scam them. So what we were going to investigate was one of my friends from college, shot out to Lindsay, friend of the pod, was messaging me, like, being, like, who do we think is playing who? Because, like, you can read the article

and read about all these women and what they did. So there are some that I think are obvious. The main character, our theory is that it's going to be Kiki Palmer because she's, like, this sort of younger stripper who, like, enters the business and, like, is smart and, like, has potential and, like, kind of gets pulled in by this older woman described as single mom from the Bronx, the body like Jessica Rabbit. J-Lo, right?

J-Lo, right? Yeah, obviously. Oh, my God. The role she was made. Samantha's in her 30s, quote, ancient by stripper standards, but she'd maintain her supremacy in part by cultivating younger dancers.

So she like a house mom. Yeah. So she like runs this scam, pulls in all these younger people. So I couldn't figure out what like Cardi B is going to be. I'm excited just to see her acting general. She is so theatrical as a human being.

She's so funny. I can see her like ad-libbing. Plus, this is her whole arena. She was this exact profession before she like acting the music. Exactly. She could be like a consultant. She has authority on this subject. Right. Right. And then like there's like Billy Reinhart could be like the like informant, like who like kind of sells them out or like, you know, I don't know about Constance Wu. It's kind of hard to like work her into this.

Sure. I'm just excited that she's a part of this. Exactly. Truly. So yeah, that will be extremely exciting. Yeah. Anything else you're investigating? We are. We there. You know I love figure skating. I do too. We're going to talk about sports for once on this podcast. I foisted this subject upon you. I'm very sorry, but I know this appeals to you. You know I care. You know me better than I know myself. Wait, is this about the Russian girls?

Yeah. No. No. Okay. Although there's always something happening with the Russian girls. I was going to feel like it is. Okay, but it's not. The 15-year-olds who beat the other one in the Olympics, that was crazy.

It is crazy. First of all, figure skating is full of drama. I love it. It's so much. The most recent drama, an American figure skater is accused of intentionally injuring a South Korean rival. Very cheesy. Mariah Bell's 22.

Lim Unsu, I believe you pronounce it, is 16. And apparently Mariah Bell is being accused of cutting Unsu's left calf with her skate blade. There are these pictures of her skating by her. And the younger girls, like, holding herself. And the American girl is just like, getting cut in the calf with an ice skate? Yeah.

So while they were skating? While they were, like, warming up. She apparently, and this is all coming from the Korean girls agency. So like, take it with a grain of salt. But she apparently did not apologize, just kept skating. And then Lim Unsue, which is the girl's name, got bandaged up and went on to beat her anyway. I love it. That's incredible.

Also, they both look like their best. They do look like they're 12. Yeah, so she went on to beat her anyway, even though she cut her up. So, Connie Harding 2.0. Love it. I'm here for it. All right. Last thing we're investigating is mine.

This is, we're investigating Ben Affleck walking around Las Angel. So back in January, Ben Affleck and James... It's deeper than it sounds. It is deeper than it sounds. And actually I ran this by Jackson, the guy running video right now. He was uninterested, but I'm going to try to sell it right now. I'm very interested. I'm always...

Yeah. This is appeals to two times interest. Okay, here's the situation. Back in January, Ben Affleck is photographed literally every single day of his life. Getting coffee. He steps out. Like, he goes, Ben Affleck steps out in Los Angeles every single day. Every day.

Anyway. Hey, that could be the new Twitter. Google your birthday and like Ben Affleck. Yeah. Ben Affleck in January literally walked by James Corden. They almost brushed shoulders. Neither of them acknowledged each other. It was if they didn't exist in the same universe. But they were photographed in the same paparazzi image.

And it's confusing because Ben Affleck has been a guest on James Corden before. They obviously know each other. James Corden holds job is basically to know celebrities. Right. To the fact that James Corden didn't give a little like, you know, not like what's up. I think like at least like an acknowledgement. Where was this? It was in Los Angeles.

It was like on a random sidewalk. Like in Brentwood or something? Shockingly no, but that's where he always is. But the next time this happened was in Brownwood. This was recently, this is this week. Okay. Ben Affleck, once again, stepping out, just walking around Los Angeles. Who knows what he's doing with his time.

Goes shoulder to shoulder with Catherine Schwarzenegger. Again, no acknowledgement. No eye contact. Like, it was as if. these guys were, they're like in different dimensions. They don't exist to each other. They don't acknowledge each other whatsoever. So I get Ben Affleck not knowing Catherine Chorchanager.

Catherine Chorchanager didn't even give a double take to Ben Affleck. She is with a friend, to be fair. She could be distracted. It's Ben Affleck. He's like one of the most recognizable guys in Hollywood. And he looks. And it's Brentwood. He's the queen of Brentwood.

Yes. And he just spends this time trouncing around like doing nothing. Wait, I'm looking at this picture. It looks like he's carrying a portable wine glass. Oh, wow. Oh, he has some issues. It does look like a tumbler. It could be a coffee.

It could be a Starbucks. No. No. I don't know. Well, you haven't ever like just been like, I need to put my coffee in something. You're such a Ben Affling apologist. It's insane. Anyway, this is confusing for many reasons.

Ben Affleck maybe exists in his own universe or is maybe like so removed from society that he like doesn't make eye contact with anybody ever. Maybe that's it. I don't know. I'll keep looking into this. That's all in Ben Affleck. Okay. Next category is. this week in social media.

Amelia Stratis off. Okay, so people have been buzzing. Don't that say? Okay, well, I mean, on the, you know, websites that I've been looking at. Okay, anyway, so they're, Gordon Kardashian, who also launched a new, like, lifestyle website

called Pooch for whatever reason. There are a trillion words in the English language. But seriously, she chose Pooch. P-O-O-S-H. I don't get it. It's horrible. What does it even mean?

No, we don't. No, no, that's the thing. Okay, sorry. But anyway, so she has a photo of her, like, you know, naked, but, like, bubbles are covering it up. She's laying in a bathtub. But anyway, further investigation. This has got to be one of the most Photoshop Kardashian pictures.

Yeah. And that's saying something. Horrible. Horrible. She's got legs coming out of every different part of her body. We were, like, trying to investigate this, but she has a leg, and it's, she's on her side. And so she's like, if you're sleeping on your side, you know, you kind of have your legs curled. But then there's like another leg slash arm coming out of her shin.

And it just, they look like chicken legs. Yeah, it's not how bones work. It's so, yeah. And then she also has a nipple on her wrist. Except Lisa, also where there's original. People, look at the image and look up where there's original candies. That's what's on her wrist. Actually, I'm like convinced.

It really looks like one of the other. It was a complete mistake. The Photoshop guy. It's like copy-pasted something on her arm. And the guy. Her face. The face. It's like, it's so weird.

It's just glassy. There's like nothing real about it. And it's like, is that not her body? We don't know. It's definitely not. It's a very rich text. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Other social media news. Equally as troubling is J.K. Rowling. Just a simultaneous sigh. Yeah. So she has come under fire multiple times. for like basically rewriting

like a lot of the sexual orientation and just a lot of the text basically in like context and world around Harry Potter this week

so this came out this week someone found it this is on the fantastic beast's crime of Grindwell Blu-ray DVD

she was interviewed so sorry for saying that out loud she was talking about Dumbled and Gellert Grindwold she goes

the relationship was incredibly intense it was passionate and it was a love relationship and then she goes on. People on Twitter went as shit as usual. And I want to just highlight

like two tweets. A lot of them were inappropriate and I don't feel comfortable saying them on the mic. Extremely funny. They were really funny. They were like, they were like, they were like, clapping all over J.K. Rowling because they're like, she just says outlandish things about the sexual nature of Harry Potter that are just absolutely not anywhere written down that she could have had the chance to do.

Right, but she never did. Never did. And she's just like, this is convenient. Exactly. Now capitalizing on 2019. Which is just like, okay. Okay, right. Okay, so you know the thing on Twitter where it's like me?

Uh-huh. The name. That's J.K. Rowling. Hagrid has paid for feet picks, which could come out later. And then again, nobody, J.K. Raleigh. Harry's first sexual experience was this is Nimbus 2000. So, again, sorry to all the Harry Potter fans. But yeah, Twitter's like, like, I'm going crazy.

It's going crazy. Like, get it out of your system. You don't want to hear it. Exactly. Or put it in your next book. Except Tumblr doesn't allow porn anymore. Oh, you're right. It's not the place for you.

I'm sure. On the dark web. I don't know. The dark Harry Potter web. Okay. Other social media news, Kate. Twitter trend this week was to look up Florida man plus your birthday and come up with like your wild like Florida man headline.

Everyone had these really funny ones and I was like, oh, this is so fun. Like I wonder what mine's going to be. And then it was like Florida man like a bank shooting. So I was like, but it's about a pipe bombing. Mine is like a Florida man's on Jeopardy. Yeah. See yours was. That's funny.

That's fine. Because it's like the one time. Kaya had the only good one of the group. Oh, hers was the best. Yeah. What was yours? Mine was Florida Man with Florida face tattoo charged with burglary. And then he also had an additional tattoo that said red rum, which is murder spelled backwards.

See, that's the shit I signed up for. That is the stuff. That's not for a five-person bank shoot. You wanted an entertaining Florida headline. Although like four pages in I did get to Florida Man says a 150-pound lizard visitor. Starks his home. Which is also perfect news from Florida. That's incredible.

Florida, just always on brand. Okay, next category is T-Times' biggest relationship news ever. This somehow is all pink, which on the outline is my color. The first one nobody wanted to talk about because they're 15 years old, 16 years old. We shouldn't be. This is absolutely none of our business. We're going to go through it quickly, only because they're very big stars. This is Millie Bobby Brown is apparently dating Romeo Beckham, who is Victoria and David Beckham's child.

They're apparently hanging out, and it's early days, but they make for a very sweet couple. We're going to run through this quickly because, again, this is none of our days. But it's better than her last boyfriend, that Jacob's Sartorias. Isn't he a YouTube star or like a TikTok star or some horrible thing? They've been commenting on each other's Instagrams, her hair is all grown, and like a really cute laugh. We're all for it, and then we're going to leave them alone. Okay, that's good. The other relationship news is juicy to me because I love Evan Peters, and I love Garrett Headland.

And anytime he's in the news Any time any country strong person is in the news It's true. It's been a good time for them lately. I know. The brand is really strong right now. Vandem is mine. I think you did this. I did.

I can talk to this. Also, I'm looking for more country strong fans. Like, if you love the movie, just tweet me. Anyway, Emma Roberts and Evan Peters, who have been in a seven year on and off relationship have called it quits. Oh my God. Yeah, they were engaged.

They were like really in things. She was a rust for domestic violence. She was. Yeah. She was. Sorry. Set up later. We'll skip that.

Get back to Garrett Hadlin. Anyway, now Emma Roberts and Garrett Headland are linked. They're exploring a relationship. It's crazy. I mean, I guess what you just said, Emma Roberts may be like not a domestic-crazing girlfriend. So I'm worried for Garrett-Hedland. Also, Garrett-Hedlin is on the rise.

I need him to be with like maybe a bigger star than Emma Roberts. I thought he was great with Kirsten Dost. I loved that the other, too. I loved that relationship. Although my theory is that Garrett-Hedlin is like the perfect rebound. Like if you're getting out of a seven-year relationship with Evan Peters like date Garrett Headland, that's perfect. Always your brine, never a brine. Great time.

Like he just seems like a great guy. Yeah. It's also interesting because remember Emma, she allegedly was the cause of Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilsen's breakup. Oh. Do you remember that? No? Yes, because they had a movie called Little Italy where they were like pizza makers. Or it was like Romeo and Julia.

Where's his movie I need it in my life? You really don't. You don't. That's all we have. That's all the info. It's very, just on this couple. I know you're like really bursting at the scenes. This last one is almost breaking news.

We just found out of it before the pot. So this is some hasty research on. Go. Lady Gaga might be dating Jeremy Renner. Wow. Take a minute to let that sink in. Jeremy Renner is a budget Bradley Cooper. He's not even that.

Jeremy Renner has his own app. Yeah, he does. Anyone with their own app. What's the app for? It's just being Jeremy Renner. Unless you're like, what? Taylor Swift or something, and hers didn't even work. Even the Kardashians shut down the apps.

Yeah, I see it. And it's like Jeremy Renner? Who is searching for that? Who has the Jeremy Renner app? Wait, what is it? Apparently, maybe. I don't know anything about it. I don't ever want to find out anything about his app.

Okay, sure, yeah. But they're hanging out, apparently. Apparently she's spending time with him and his daughter. Whoa. After her split from Christian Carino. Ugh. And I just, Jeremy Renner, first of all, worst fucking Avenger. He broke both of his arms filming that tag movie and had to have like,

Billions of dollars spent CGIying literal arms on his body. What? He had a horrible haircut. He has a horrible haircut in the nude. He's just like very needy. He says like problematic shit. Yeah, he does.

He's just the worst. Lady Gaga doesn't need Jeremy Runner. Exactly. Jayhara needs Lady Gaga. I love this. It's so random though. It's an age old town. It's so random.

At what point do we accept the Lady Gaga has terrible taste in men? I'm not ready yet. Are we there? I think we're there. I think we're there. Okay. We're doing a mini segment in regards to celebrity relationships. This is in good fun and also not mean-spirited.

These are just red flags that T-time has been noticing and just flagging mentally. There are red flags everywhere in relationships. These are just ones we've noticed in the celebrity world that are like, let's just keep an eye on. Interesting. We're not predicting any breakups or anything like that. We're not wishing ill will. This is just like, hmm, curious. Kate, what's the first one?

Okay, after that very in-depth disclaimer from Liz Kelly. I just don't want to be mean. We're about to be mean to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who we love to be mean to. Okay, so E-News published an Instagram post and said it's International Day of Happiness, but how can we smile when it's been exactly 184 days since we got a new photo of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds? This was yesterday, so now it's 185. Oh, my God. It's counting.

That's an exaggeration. Technically, it hasn't been at 184 days since we've gotten a picture of them. I'm sure they've been picked. It's 184 days since they've been pictured at an event together. So I did some fact-checking on this. The last image that Getty images have of them was from September in a simple favor press event. That was a long time ago. It was a long time ago.

It was a long time. It's actually to do an event together. That is true. Especially for Instagram horror like Ray Reynolds. Yeah, and Twitter because he's big on that one too. Right, right. Now we do know they were both at Taylor Swift's New Year's Eve party. Yeah, you're right.

I forgot about that. Yeah. They weren't in pictures together, but they were like talking, like his fucking gin brand, like, at her party. Yeah. So it could be like grasping a straws for red flag. But my theory is, we just talked about last week, the bromance phenomenon. Ryan Reynolds goes from like guy to guy doing all these overperformative bromances.

And he started doing that with Blake lately. Yeah. Blake lively lately. Thank you. And I think like he's created this weird social media relationship with her that's similar to all of his bromances. You know what? Like she was just in a promo that he did for Detective Pikachu where she was like joking.

about how he was in character and he didn't pick up their kids from school. So that's very much like a campaign for this movie. And they're commenting on each other's Instagrams. Oh, well, see, that's... No, but this is kind of the red flag. Oh, okay, yeah, no, I get that.

Romance way. Right, yeah. She's like... He's using her for clout. For promo, yeah, okay. It was like a picture of he and Salma Hayek like shooting the hitman's bodyguard too and she's like, oh, I can't decide

who I'm more in love with. So then there were like all these headlines where it's like, Plague Lively says she can't decide who's just more in love with between a prime real real new movie. So my theory is that he's lost the ability to convey real

emotional attachment. Yeah, my theory is that they couldn't decide on which plantation to vacation at next. That's spicy. Social media, you just have to keep tabs on with these couples because it's like a bad thing if you're too out there. Like Jesse Jay and Channing Tatum huge flag, they're like so aggressive

with each other in social media. It's like you need one establishing post that you're together and then maybe throw in a couple of comments and like a story, but you don't need to be like that much of it. You don't want to be driving, like driving the social media narrative about you. You want other people to do that. Yes, exactly. You want the people to photograph you and the magazines to write about it. You don't need to like add to it. So that's also a red flag. Yes, agreed. Confusing. Okay, what other red flags do you have? Another red flag would be weeping in public

with each other. Consistently. And holding the Bible. All the time. That is a red flag. Of course we're talking about Haley and Justin Bieber. And also, they've postponed their wedding. In definitely. D-Dict. So, you know. They said they will still have a wedding eventually, but it is not their focus right now. They haven't sent out any new save the dates. They will wait until Justin feels better and is excited about planning their wedding again. This wedding is not happening.

And definitely is, that's the key word. That means never. It's never happening. Also, he clearly is someplace mentally that is just, I feel. He's working through some stuff. Which is fine. I wish he would, you know, just take some time to. Yeah.

Recharge. That's what the celebrities call it. Exactly, yeah. But, you know, they're like, he was weeping. A lot of weeping. She was trying to console him. She does that a lot. She does. A lot.

And she, like, carries around this Bible all the time. Right. We're going to talk about celebrities carrying books. And not that the Bible is comparable to that. The other books will be talking about that. Yeah. It's on track. Oh, God. It's just a lot.

Yeah, it is a lot. Okay. This category is not worth the tea. Who's not worth the tea? You go first, Amelia. Mama June got arrested. Next. That's pretty much all we need on Mama.

Mama June. Thank God. Do people know who Mama June is? Oh, honey boo, boo, rummer. It's her mom. Shake a tail feathery honeybobole. Yeah, you're right. We don't need to talk about this.

She'll last long wait. She's not worth the tea. Okay, Kate, you're up. Vanessa Hudgens, however, is worth the tea a little bit. She, we need, she just needs an intervention. She's decided that Christmas movies is like her thing. I mean, she's getting past. She did, she is.

She did the Christmas switch last year for Netflix, which is one of those, like, classic movies where, like, like the regular The regular baker looks exactly like a princess of a made up country and they I love it. She has an accent. She has an accent. It has a horrible accent. Did I even watch it? Did you watch it? No. It was so bad. I watched it and I regretted it.

So she did that last year for Netflix. Now she's producing a new Christmas movie for Netflix. I believe producing and... And starring it? Starring it? I don't think it's confirmed, but like probably. It's called the Night Before Christmas. That's K-N-I-G-H-T. The K is not pronounced. Just like Ace Newt. We'll see about that.

And the movie follows an English knight who inadvertently gets sent from the medieval era to present day by a sorceress. While in the present, he finds himself falling for a caring high school science teacher who is disillusioned by love. Obviously, this apparently all happens during the Christmas season, because why not? Why not? And it's going to be fucking terrible. And Vanessa Hedgens needs to stop doing this. Perhaps, yeah. Like maybe just consider other avenues.

Oh, my God. Okay, other people not worth the tea. Like, I get it, people. hear myself saying it. I don't want to say it. I'm sick of it. I know you're sick of it. Talking about Pete Davidson and came back and sale. But things just keep happening. People keep talking about it. People force my hand. You know, this is not what I want to do. They were just photographed recently. And like, yeah, people... It's so bad. It's pretty bad. So the status on the relationship, they're going strong. He just met

her parents. She's a full-grown, really full-grown woman. Like, that's a big deal. She has like an 18-year-old child. Yes, she came down. She's like 20 now. Anyway. And then they met on the anniversary, the 40th anniversary of her father's death. Oh my God. Heavy. Okay.

So then that's one thing. And then this picture that everyone's talking about this week, they were leaving the Whiskeyagogo from like a motley crew, like the band and event. Oh, God. I don't know why. Anyway, the whole thing is like she looks absolutely amazing. I'm going to remind you guys. This is the photo. I know you both know.

She looks like tan and like in this black dress and these sky high heels. Yeah. He probably had to be. very long day of traveling and he does have an autoimmune disease and he looks unwell kind of. He looks like nosferatu. He looks like a vampire

mixed with like another vampire. It's so bad. He's wearing like, plus it's not even that. It's the lack of effort. He's in a T-shirt and bought his jeans. What do you want? The distillation of like what a man is expected to look like and what a woman is a special. I'm going to talk about that. The mascot of that is

Adam Sandler. Like he started that like a decade and a half ago. This is not started by Pete Davidson, men are schlubs. Yeah, no, no, no. It's horrible. He looks, argue with that one. He looks so bad. This is not worth the tea, support love people.

The next one, not worth the tea is, one of my favorite things to do is like a Kate Hallow book report where I forced her to talk about things she has no interest in. She's too good for and I'm not, but I want to talk about it anyway. We're going to discuss, I don't know how you pronounce it. Did you look? It's bad baby. It's bad baby. For those who don't know, like I didn't.

Bad Baby is spelled B-H-A-D, B-H-A-B-I-E. Her name is Danielle Bargoli. Baby. Depending on which, how you want to refer to her here. She's the Cash Me Outside Girl, right? She went on Dr. Phil. In 2016, she got really famous. She said, I'm not going to really do it.

She just said, catch me outside. How about that? Not going to do it. Oh, damn. I have surprised. It's like a surprise. It's bad. Yeah.

Okay, so she turns 16 on the 26th, which is mind-blowing to me that she's only 15. Oh, my God. Kill me. That's really horrible. And she got a $42,000 diamond-incrusted Rolex watch. Do you see Amelia close her eyes? Then she's like pained vibes. It is painful.

It really is. It's quite hideous, if you ask me. It's pink and diamonds. But that's her whole thing. This is an insane fact I found on her Wikipedia page. She became the youngest female rapper ever to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her debut single, These Hose and Hose is well. H-E-A-U-X.

Oh, sure it is. So, like the Louisiana version. Is it? Yeah, because they're like... Wrong version? No, no, no, no. That's like a Louisiana thing. Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Okay, so, I guess it's good for Danielle for being tapped into the Louisiana dialect. Yeah, and then she has signed a deal record with Atlanta Records. Okay. I know that's horrible.

I'm also seeing just real quick, she also recently spent $40,000 on porcelain veneers. So, you know, live in her best life. Yep. God bless. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay.

We're wrapping up this episode with our final category, which is T-Times' most unanswerable question of the week. This week I really, really, really deep dived and did a lot of research because I care about these people deeply. I want to know if Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak will ever get back together. So like I said, I did a lot of research on this. Just for everybody, if you're not as invested as I am in the whole office world and like the, their relationship. They met 15 years ago when they were both 24 on the set of the office.

Kelly and Ryan, their two characters, had this, like, very tumultuous, but, like, very passionate, fun, kind of, like, vorty relationship. Like, mirrors. Right. The whole thing was that their relationship mirrored the characters on the show, and, like, all the writers knew that and kind of, like, leaned into that. So they have got a ton of history. They were, like, on and off for many, many, many years. They've said some really questionable things about their relationship that leads me to believe that it's not, over. Like B.J. Novak said he's like, we're never really not dating. We're never really dating.

They call each other soup snakes, which is like an office reference for soulmates, basically. Oh, my God. They said their relationship is eternal and romantically charged. I don't know. I'm not ready to call it quits. And then here's the last wrinkle. So she gave birth to a baby girl in December of 2017. She has been like very quiet about who the father of this child was. And like even on the birth certificate, it just says Mindy Kaling's name. Oh, wow. I think. that Mindy Kaling and BJ Noviq is kind of like this packed kind of you're my eternal friend and lover and partner is the father of this child and she's just keeping that hush hush because you know for the protection of their relationship it's a super weird relationship it's like that Jennifer Aniston movie right yeah where she gets impregnated by her friend I don't know okay anyway sorry sorry yeah we're talking about real people there's some real relationships I'm rooting for okay I will just say that I was watching an interview I think it was Howard Stern and she was saying, like, and I don't know if he made a clear or she made it clear, but it was like, BJ said something like, he just didn't want to date her or something.

And, but she was like, she kept coming back and I, I don't want to see. Yeah. She's written about him in her books, too. Yeah. They even wrote a book together and sold it for like $7 million. Like, they're, the. It's so complicated. It's really complicated.

I know. And they haven't really been linked to anybody else, like, significantly. That's true. Yeah. And they, like, take each other to events and stuff all the time. They clearly hang out all the time. All the time. And they call each other like, yeah, soulmates or whatever.

And best friends and everything. It's just, I feel like she is ready to lock it down. And he's just like, I know. I don't know exactly about B.J. Novick. I'm rooting for her. Yeah. It can't be answered. If you guys have thoughts, tweet us.

Okay, next unanswerable question. This is so stupid. This is a sign to me. And I just want to say that I. Sure. Sure. So Noah Sinsanao, who I'm so fucking over, is in talks to become a he-man in the The Masters of the Universe reboot, which is, I don't know if you guys know E-Man.

His whole thing is he's, like, jacked and doesn't wear a shirt and has, like, a blonde page boy haircut. Nice. Two of those things fit Noah Centennial. The blonde page boy haircut, I'm really having trouble picturing. They can't change that beautiful hair. Dahl's Lundgren played him last time, and I'm like, Noah Cincinnati is like, you're, like, boy next door, like, relatable high school kids still.

He's going to have to bulk up for this. Yeah. I'm like he's not a grown man. I know, but he can't do the whole boy next door forever. He wants to be blockbuster movie star. This feels like just a huge misfire, if you asked me. But I, I mean... So what's the question?

Will he be good? Or what is he doing in the movie? Will he be cast? I guess. I think it's will he be good, which my answer is no, but like also, you know, I love a harness. He man just like doesn't... Timothy Shalman or a harness. Quote that. Someone listening.

I love a harness. And it's just going to be Noah Centeno shirtless walking around in a bad wig, which honestly like technically I don't know about the wig. Technically I support on each individual level. All together, I don't know. So we'll see.

Only time will tell. All right, Amelia, bring it home. What's the last question? Recently, Bella and Gigi Hadid were caught by the paparazzi carrying books. And now apparently, according to like Vogue and like page 6

of the New York Post, they're like, books are in people. Bella and Gigi are making them cool And it's just like I hate this I can't kill us all please But so the books that they were carrying And I guess Bella posted it to her Instagram Is Stephen King's The Outsider

And then Gigi was carrying the stranger by Albert Camas Do you think No No no I don't even have to ask and you guys are like that Although can I just say I'm again extremely biased here. I can't believe I want to mention these two people within 30 seconds of each other.

I just mentioned Timothy Chalame. Harry Stiles did the book thing first. He's been doing it for a long time. He walks around carrying like feminist essays all the time. Jesus Christ do the book thing first? Listen. We're about to wrap up the podcast. What kind of question is that to throw in? Harry Siles is reading these books. Gigi and all aren't. Yes, I want someone to ask them like what happened on, you know, in the Shepard. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There is nothing, like, in celebrity culture, there is nothing, like, cooler and, like, more unattainable than, like, not only being super hot, but, like, super smart, which not going to generalize, but, like, a lot of these people aren't. These girls didn't even, like, graduate Malibu High School.

I don't know what degree that they've followed up on. I think that they think it's, like, really cool, you know, to be reading this kind of stuff. The weekend is obviously whispering to Bella Deere being, like, babe, you got to take this book. And she's like, yeah. Okay, actually, Gigi did graduate, and she went to school. for a semester for criminal psychology. What the, wow. Because I was watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

And her mom was like, Gigi is going to school for criminal psychology. Jesus. That's a whole other question. Thank you. Again, thanks, Kaya. Great timing. Okay, that's the end of this episode.

Thank you for listening. That was an interesting one. Again, thank you for listening. I'm Liz Kelly. I'm Kate Adelalal. And I'm Amelia Weddemeier.
