Glamorous Trash: A Celebrity Memoir Podcast

Tina Knowles, mother of Beyoncé and Solange, founder of House of Deréon, and Destiny’s Child stylist, spills some Tina Tea! Chelsea is joined by writers Matt Whitaker (“The Four Seasons”) and Maria Randazzo (The List) to unpack Tina’s unreal legacy. They dive into how she became a surrogate parent to Kelly Rowland, her beauty salon ingenuity, and the wisdom embedded in every rhinestoned Destiny’s Child costume. Plus: her marriage to disastrous dad-ager Mathew Knowles, her divorce-era glow-up, and why we’re begging her for a multi-cam sitcom.  Join the cookie community: Become a member of the Patreon Follow Chelsea: Instagram @chelseadevantez Show Notes: Griffin Dunne’s Memoir The Friday Afternoon Club (with Maria Randazzo) Tina Knowles interview with Oprah Winfrey about her Memoir (Video) Tina Knowles’ Corny Joke Time Beyoncé, Cowboy Carter, and Unpacking Country Music History (With Sam Sanders) Will Taylor Swift, Beyoncé & Barbie change everything??
