Episode 10: How stars buy fake friends

Nearly two weeks after I first revealed that LeAnn Rimes probably bought 100,000 new friends on Twitter, you kids are still all a-scandalized. And a-curious about exactly what 100,000 fake Twitter friends can do for a girl these days.

No problem! In my latest podcast, I wrangled a special guest: Lisa Jenkins, an expert on celebrities and social media. I made her sit in a chair and drink champagne and answer your follow-up questions on this very topic. 

Jenkins also co-hosts her own podcast, The Nerd Out, about all things dweebgirl. It’s a must-listen. Not that you’re going anywhere right now, because my new podcast needs your immediate attention. Otherwise you’ll miss still more occult Hollywood knowledge dished up just for you—including answers on why Famke Janssen sounds like Katharine Hepburn all of a sudden, and why you just may be richer than your favorite video game heroine.

Plus, we deliver an epic cage match lorded over by the dark prince of celebrity stalking: Longtime listener Clint!

Episode 9: Cloak & digital—the secret world of 'aesthetic enhancement'

It’s finally here—an episode that was a month in the making! After much cloak-and-dagger intrigue, I am thrilled to bring you the ninth installment of The Fame Fatale, featuring a brand-new, top-secret source we shall call... Deep Pixel
Deep Pixel’s job is so hush-hush, so sensitive, that Hollywood’s elite would really, really rather he not speak to me. But he did anyway. And you’ll be glad he did.

Also in this week’s show: What’s next for St. Angelina of Jolie; why Mad Men and Breaking Bad are better shows than Community, you know, empirically speaking; and the return of the infamous Cage Match, in which Baby Vegas tries to sell me on the importance of That Dude From The Mindy Project...and fails.

You won’t want to miss that. Or, at least, you won’t want to miss Deep Pixel. The Cage Match thing is a little subjective.

Episode 8: Blake Shelton, shill of beans

This week’s episode of The Fame Fatale has nothing to do with Angelina Jolie or her brave decision to share her recent medical journey. But, ha, made you look.

Oh wow: You’re scowling. Don’t get all mad, girl. Why so cold, baby? I brought a present for you, shorty. No, actually, three: Behold, my latest installment, featuring three solid answers to three of your questions about the inner machinations of entertainment and celebrity, including:
  • Why Blake Shelton suddenly became the John the Baptist of lattés 
  • Why Jennifer Lawrence gets to stay at a resort even when she’s working 
  • Whether you need to see Gatsby or not

Plus! I impart one terribly sad blind item that also has nothing to do with Angelina Jolie... and Baby Vegas makes a big, big mistake by comparing himself to a film legend. To my face. Humiliation ensues.

Episode 7: Nerd rage over Star Trek

Just how much truth can I pack into a single, half-hour-and-change podcast episode? Let’s see here: In this brand-new dispatch, I tackle questions from you—yes! you!—about:
  • The next Star Trek picture, and why Bulgaria and Malaysia get to see Alice Eve in her underwear before you do. 
  • Lindsay Lohan, and why we allegedly have to allege so many allegations every time we talk about her. 
  • M. Night Shyamalan, undying zombie director! Why does he keep getting work? Would you believe it may have something to do with the French.
Plus! This week’s very, very special co-host is none other than comedian Guy Branum, a writer for Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell...and the face of No More Mr. Nice Gay. Only Guy can brave a run-in with both The Leggy Kardashian and The Baldwin Who Loves Jesus, and live to tell about it. Which he does. Right here. On my show.
