Well Richies - our national nightmare is over. For now. We finally have a verdict in the Diddy trial. And it’s not quite the result the prosecution was hoping for. A lot of people think Diddy is getting off easy. But speaking of people who are not getting off easy - is it diva down with Kelly Clarkson? Rumors have been swirling about the well-being of the “Stronger” singer for months. And now there’s speculation that “Miss Independent’s” bad way could be affecting her Vegas residency. Wrapping up, we also have the latest on all the Denise Richards divorce drama. When the drama’s alliterative, that’s when you know it’s good.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Richies, this month we’ll be celebrating actors who you’ll see in this summer’s biggest movies. We’re kicking off our ""Even the Rich: Summer Blockbuster Month"" with ""Jurassic World Rebirth"" star, Scarlett Johansson! With critical praise for much of her work - including 2003's “Lost in Translation” and “Girl with a Pearl Earring ” - she's been on a roll for decades. But her enormous success hasn’t been without its share of pitfalls. Sure, the “Black Widow"" actor is one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars, but she’s also one of its most controversial. But - like it or not - Scarlett always sticks to her guns. And her beliefs. All while making her way to the top of the Hollywood food chain...on her own terms.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Raised in a house that is nothing like the TV sitcom families she loves, Rosie O’Donnell has to grow up fast. She has to deal with an abusive father, and the heartbreak of losing her mom way too soon. But somehow, her grit, determination, and natural humor lands her on a comedy club stage when she’s just a teen. After polishing her act on the road, Rosie gains national attention on the 80s TV talent show, “Star Search.” And she’s off and running. After stealing scenes in “A League of Their Own,” “Sleepless in Seattle,” and “The Flintstones,” she revolutionizes daytime television with her own feel-good talk show and is dubbed “The Queen of Nice.” But never one afraid to speak her mind, Rosie goes on to voice her opinions on “The View,” which lands her in a very public battle with the current sitting President of the United States. Throughout her life, Rosie’s always tried to stick up for what she feels is right, including LGBTQ+ rights. Which is why she’s getting her flowers from us during Pride Month!You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Listen to Liberty Lost: In Evangelical homes across the United States, sex outside of marriage is a sin against God. So, when Abbi becomes pregnant at 16, her devout parents hide her away at the Liberty Godparent Home, a little-known facility for pregnant teens on the campus of Liberty University. The Home says it helps girls decide what comes next – whether that’s parenting their babies or placing them for adoption. But inside the facility, the girls hear a different message: God wants their babies to go to more “deserving” Christian couples. Some girls will find the strength to fight back. Others will have no choice but to give in. And some, like Abbi, will turn their grief into resistance – and take a stand against the system before more mothers lose their children to adoptions they never wanted.  From Wondery, host and reporter T. J. Raphael tells a startling true story of young love, coercion, and defiance – and the dangerous resurgence of maternity homes in post-Roe America.Listen to Liberty Lost: Wondery.fm/LibertyLost_See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Continuing our celebration of Pride Month, today we’ve got another fabulous queer icon for you. Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page has crammed a whole lot of life into his 38 years. After gaining traction in Canada as an accomplished child actor, Elliot makes the leap into the American mainstream with critically acclaimed performances in movies like “Hard Candy,” “Juno,” and “Inception.” But behind all that splashy Hollywood success, Elliot is hiding a big secret. One that could potentially derail his career. But eventually, he makes a huge, brave leap and comes out as a trans. Even though this bold announcement of his identity is not met with open arms everywhere - he does becomes a hero and advocate for the trans community. Oh, and he’s still one hell of an actor.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Richies, we didn’t see this coming. Blake Lively just scored a huge court win. She and her former “It Ends with Us” director/co-star Justin Baldoni have been in a bitter legal battle since January. But just this week, a judge dismissed Justin’s multi-million dollar suit against Blake, husband Ryan Reynolds, and the New York Times. After we break down that legal decision, we’re filling you in on the (maybe one-sided) feud between Broadway icons Audra McDonald and Patti LuPone…and how that beef maybe got some airtime on Sunday’s Tony Awards. And speaking of feuds, we have the latest on the bad blood that’s allegedly boiling between members of the Beckham Bunch.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
