Hoda Kotb and Joel Schiffman proved co-parenting can be merry and bright as they reunited to celebrate Christmas with their daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope, 5.

Vie for sure, and welcome to the Naughty Burdyn Shall I'm your host, Rob Shooter. It's Friday, the holiday week. I hope you had a lovely time. Highlight of my holiday was talking with you Naughty's every day. I love getting up doing this show, so thank you for listening. The co hosts were all off this week, with the exception of mister don't forget that. She's amazing. She's just amazing. So Misty, thank you and all the other co hosts. I hope you're having a lovely time with your families. And I've actually sort of in a strange way, and this is not a put down to the co host I love doing the show with them. I've enjoyed this week just you naughtys and me and all the delicious gossip. Let's jump right into it right now. What time is it, my friends? It is tea time. Big story at the top of the show, A nice story. At the top of the show. We've got a Christmas miracle, my friends. Britney Spears has reunited with her son Jaden for quote the best Christmas ever. There were tears of joy. Let me explain. So Britney Spears ended a very troublesome year on a high note with a heartwarming Christmas reunion that had her fans just celebrating and cheering. The pop icon, who is now forty three, spent the holidays with her eighteen year old son Jaden, marking their first Christmas together in almost two years following their estrangement. So taken to Instagram, Britney let us know all about this. She shared a video with Jaden that left her followers very emotional. She wrote the following quote, best Christmas of my life. I haven't seen my boys in two years. Tears of joy and literally in shock every day, so so crazy, so in love, so blessed. She gushed this in the caption. The clip shows Brittany and Jaden standing outside what appears to be a restaurant, beaming with happiness. Jaden says a quick hello to his mom's fans before the duo wish everybody a happy Christmas. So it was a very tender moment, and then Brittany planted a kiss of beautiful kiss on her son's head that radiated joy through the screen. For Brittany and Jaden, this Christmas clearly wasn't just about gifts and card. It was about healing, connection and starting a new and as Brittany put it herself, quote, thank you Jesus, this story gives me so much joy. Britney has struggled, we all know that, and the relationship with her sons, or the lack of relationship has really really hurt. Britney spears she loved these little boys, but she struggled. She still struggles with her own mental health issues. That doesn't mean for one second that she doesn't stop loving them. Oh, absolutely not. She loves these boys. All my Britney sources tell me the boys love her too. It was just really difficult having a mom who struggled so deeply, so profoundly, also having a mom who was such a big star. It was something that they were just not prepared to handle. So the sons are taking some responsibility here. Now. What made me nervous is Jaden has been very very vocal about not enjoying his mother's social media accounts. He doesn't enjoy seeing his mom naked on social media. Who would He doesn't see enjoy seeing his mom really having some quiet emotional moments on social media. That's very hurtful, and he doesn't want to be on social media himself. From the day he was born. He has been chased by photographers, by the press. Now, Brittany Britney wanted to be famous, or maybe her family did, that's another question. But Brittany made the decision. You could argue the kids didn't and they resented it. They were really angry with their mom, with the press, with fame. They wanted privacy, and they have said so over and over and over and over again. So I was a bit nervous when Brittany posted this. I was like, oh gosh, Jaden's going to hate this. However, there is a moment in the clip where the two of them, the two of them look into the camera and say hello and Merry Christmas, so he's aware that he's being recorded. I hit the phones. It's difficult to get to Britney's sauses, particularly over the holiday. Her inner cirtle now is very, very small. But I spoke to someone who knows Brittany very well and they said she wouldn't have posted it. She just wouldn't have posted this video without Jaden's permission. That spending time with Jaden is the priority, and if she thought for one second she was going to blow that up by being vocal about it, by posting a picture. Then she wouldn't have done it. I love this. I love that not only did they spend Christmas together, but also to Jaden has softened. She is Britney Spears. She's always going to be Britney Spears. Now truthfully, she's also always going to be his mom. But the two things are not mutually exclusive. She give be both. She cann be Britney Spears and his mom if they figure out a way a compromise, an agreement about how to deal with her fame with his constant desire for privacy moving forward. So, Britney, thank you for letting us into this really special moment. If you know Brittany, you know how big this moment was. It was huge. Thank you for sharing it with us. I guess we would have found out about it by people in the restaurant, by sources, but we wouldn't have found about it this quickly. But the fact that she posted it is a good sign. I was terrified at first, like you laudies, I was like, Oh, Brittany, what are you doing. He's gonna hate this. No, she got permission. He even said hello to his mom's fans, who he's had a very difficult relationship and wished everybody a merry Christmas. They're really trying to start over. I hear Jaden, who currently lives in Hawaii with his brother and his dad and his stepmom. Jaden's moved back to LA. Now it's unclear if he's moved in with his mom. I don't think that would be a good idea, but I think he's going to get an apartment in LA and start a life there. And guess who's there too, his mommy, Britney Spears, which brings us to our pole question of the day. Britney Spears has reunited with her son Jayden for quote the best Christmas ever? Oh doesn't that sound good? Our question is quite simple. Should she have posted the meeting on it? Should have this been kept private? Know in the history, know in his desire, his passion for privacy. Should this have been kept a secret? What do you think? Go vote on our Twitter page at Naughty nine Rama or our Facebook page which is Nordy Gonzim, and be sure to check back on Monday to hear your results. Okay, moving along, Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift these two are in love, even if it's a mad moment might be from afar. So Travis played on Christmas Day. He had a football game on Christmas Day and Taylor was not there, but she's still found a way to celebrate her boyfriend's historic achievement. The pop star liked a Chiefs Instagram posts commemorating Travis's seventy seventh Wow touchdown, which suppressed Tony Gonzalez, who had the previous record of seventy six. So congratulation to Travis. He broke a record on Christmas Day. Taylor wasn't mad to see it, but she did support him by liking the video the post on social media. The post features are highlight reel of all Travis's moments of glory, and it was captioned quote, if you can't find Travis, chances are he's in the end zone. Congrats. Oh I love this. It was a hysteric day. He's an amazing football player. I think that we think of him what I think of him as Taylor Swift's boyfriend. I do because she's such a superstar, and I'm so much more into music and pop culture than i am football. However, my friends who do like football, and I have maybe one or maybe two, maybe one. They tell me Travis is a superstar. He's absolutely at the top of his game in the same way that Taylor's at the top of her game in the music business. So these two are a really good match because they're both the best at what they do and they can support each other. So we don't know why Taylor wasn't at Arrowhead Stadium for the game, but her quiet gesture, just the simple like on an Instagram account, tells her fans everything. It just speaks volumes about them. Now fans have been buzzing saying quote, even when she's not there, Taylor's support is unmatched, the true m the peak girlfriend. These two are the real deal. They support each other. They try really hard with their schedules to be around each other, not necessarily when they're working. It's a job. Do you take your husband, your wife, your partner, your boyfriend, your girlfriend to work, No, you go to work. I don't take Bruce to work when I go to the office when I'm working on stories. No. But we spend our private life together. And I'm told that's what Travis and Taylor are doing. That's their priority. Not showing up when the cameras are on so we can all see them together, but spending those quiet moments together. There's moments when the cameras are not around, when people are not taking photographs, when you're not on display. Those are the moments that really really count. Sometimes it makes me laugh. People often ask me why Bruce is not more on my social media feeds, and I said, because I live with him. I don't need to put him on my social media media feeds because I'm lucky enough to have him sitting next to me every single day, and so often what you see is just the tip of the icebergs. So don't get nervous. There's some rumors today that she didn't go and they've broken up, and this is a disaster, Absolutely nonsense. These two are together and spend really the most important time together, which is private time. Okay, Moving along, Jaylo is bringing the holiday magic to Aspen with her family amid her divorce from Ben Affleck. So Jennifer Lopez is embracing the holiday spirit in the snowy wonderland of Aspen, Colorado, which is a favorite place of Mariah Carey, is some quite Jennifer's there because Jalo and Mariah don't really get along. But Jennifer posted some really lovely, heartwarming snaps of a Chrismas celebration with her sixteen year old child Emmy, and her rarely seen niece Lucy, who is sixteen years old, and her younger sister Linda Lopez. We never get to see Linda Lopez, so Jennifer and Linda grew up together. I know Linda. She was a TV reporter and entertainment reporter here in New York. First, I think for WPIX and then Access Hollywood have maybe Entertainment Tonight, and it's tricky. Linda's talented and beautiful, but she's not Jennifer Lopez, and so Jayla was always the center of attention. Jayla's the center of this family. So it's lovely to see that whatever tension they might have had, it is now settled. I loved seeing pictures of them together in fur lined jackets, sipping hot coffee while seated outdoors in Aspen. I love the image of Emmy and Lucy wearing matching plaid pajama unwrapping presents from under the Christmas tree. And also too, I loved the photograph of Jennifer's younger sister Linda, sporting the same pajamas as every They all look so cute together. So, despite the ongoing divorce from Ben Affleck, the Lopez Is show no sign of letting this dim their holiday season. I'm told my sources tell me that Jennifer's really really relied on her family during this difficult time. She's heartbroken about Ben. She's still friendly with Ben. She's still trying to get along with Ben. She's still trying to co parent with Ben. But it's her fairy tale but exploded. It didn't work out and this is not the ending she thought or anybody thought would happen. And so now she's relying on her family. And if there's a silver lining to this, it's that Jennifer is closer to her family than ever, including her sister Linda Lopez. Expect to see more of Linda in j Lo's life moving forward. Can we talk about Beyonce's show stopping NFL halftime performance in her hometown of Houston. Well, guess who I spotted in that performance? Sort of tucked away, she was obvious, but not too obvious, her daughter Blue Ivy. So Beyonce delivered a dazzling halftime show. I don't know if you've seen it yet, but it was amazing. The Baltimore Ravens versus the Houston Texans on Christmas to Day. My goodness, I'm getting so good at football. I didn't know what any of this meant six months ago, and so, with a surprise appearance from her daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce made it an affair to remember. The Queen of pop took the stage performing hits from her new album, which is a country album, Cowboy Carter. It's a great album. I wasn't the biggest country fan. I love Dolly Parton. I like Taylor Swift a lot. You know, I love Taylor Swift, but country genre it's not something that I really listened to. I bought this album. I haven't been able to stop playing it's so good. So the show started with a jaw dropping entrance as Beyonce a road onto the field, of course, she did on a white horse while performing her chart topping single sixteen Carriages Clever. Dressed in a crystal studied white bodysuit, she had a matching cowboy hat on and she looks like she was wearing chaps too. She put on a fabulous show. Look at it today on YouTube and they're standing next to her. Halfway through the performance, Blue Ivy is twelve now joined a mob on stage to perform the fan favorite texas Hold Them. It was really, really good and it's beautiful to see these two together. Just lovely. Now there is some backlash, that always is. Some fans are angry with a hand gesture during that performance. So while wrapping up her set after singing Texas Hold Them, the singer was lifted above the field on a platform and made a finger gun gesture with her left hand. At the same time, a banner reading bang was released under the platform. Now, the NFL bands any gun gestures and this can result in a fifteen yard penalty for any offending player. Well, clearly Beyonce was on the field, but she wasn't a player. But some people are saying, wow, if that rule exists for the players, it should also exist for the performers. Something to think about. Okay, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Welcome back to the Naughty but Night Sham your host Rob She would a Hey, naughties, Let's get to the poll that the dull. Yesterday we talked about the Royal kids, Charlotte, George, little Louis. You know he's my favorite, stealing hearts at the Royal Christmas Service. Our question was quite simple, Oh, Harry and Meghan's kids missing gut. When you see a family together like this, you wonder, oh my goodness, I wonder if they are are missing our on this. Let's remember it was Harry and Meghan's decision to leave the family, not Lily Bit, not Arching. And when they look back and see their cousins and their relatives, and their uncles and their aunties and their grandfather, when they see them all together on Christmas stage, you think they'll feel like they are missing out. Let's have a look. What do you think Are Harry and Meghan's kids missing gout? Eighty five percent said yes, they are. I get it. When families get split up, and we've all been there, We've all had ins and outs. It's complicated. You wonder about all those lost moments, and they're not worth it. They're just not worth it. These images of these Royal children together on Christmas, they're so beautiful. I wish I wish Harry and Meghan and their children were part of this too in some way in their way, but at the moment we know that is pretty much impossible. Okay, don't forget to vote on today's Paul will go to act with a page and nornly knows Robborough Facebook which is naughty gossip. And be sure to check back on Monday to hear your results. And now it's time for the nicest of the day. Hold a copy and ex fiancee Joel Schiftman reunited for a festive family holiday Christmas in match in pajamas. So Hoda and Joel, who roved very very clearly, let me add that co parenting can be merrier and bright as they reunited for a Christmas with their daughters, Hayley who's now seven, and Hope, who is five. They adopted these daughters together and they have been co parents. And although we see a lot of pictures, hold a post with her kids, I'm told Joel also is with the children a lot. He doesn't post as much as Hoder. He's not big on social media, but he's very much there and he takes his role as dad really really seriously. Now the couple the former couple ended their engagement in twenty twenty one, but that did not stop them from spending the whole days together in matching pajamas and reindeer sheds. They're just so adorable, these two, and they're little ones. I asked, is there any chance that these two could get back together? And my sources say no, And that's not a bad thing. I want them to get back together. They don't. Neither does Joel. Neither does holder. They know that they're better friends. They will always love each other. They're very special and supportive to one another, and they love their children. They're just not a good fit as husband and wife, and so they've acknowledged that. So I think we have to stop pushing our desires onto other people because they don't want them. They have figured out a solution that works for these two and the children, and that's all that matters. Are nicest of the day. And now I noticed the day Norty, Norty. This breaks my heart. There's no video of Wendy Williams. So we saw her looking really well just a few days ago at her son, Kevin Junior's graduation college graduation. But now we have video of a heated confrontation between Wendy and her caretakers. Celebration evening for her son has taken a rather dramatic turn. After they form a talk show, Queen clashed with their caretakers over what appears to be her mobility scooter. So Wendy was on her scooter Turst. They were looking for the car, and Wendy got very, very angry. It's all on video. She claims they got the wrong car. There was a mix up with the cars, and then they left her scooter in the middle of the street. And the scooter is very, very expensive, and she's furious about that, and she said, if you get a work for me, then you suppose to be doing this and they make money from me, So quote get the goddamn car now. Although the interaction is very ugly, it's not something that I enjoyed seeing. What I did like is that Wendy's dementia appears to not be quite as severe as what we feared. She seems pretty with it in this video. And even though I love Wendy, you know that there's a side of Wendy that I don't love. I've seen Wendy be really cruel to people. I've seen her chew out staff I've seen her chew out people that worked with her on her talk show. This is part of Wendy. There's a cruelness that Wendy has in her. And to see that cruelness, even though I did not enjoy it, tells me that there's still a spark there, that maybe there's a hope that our Wendy still ease with us. Okay, let's end with a moment of Rob. You get a Rob, you get a Rob, You get a Rob. By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. Be prepared, Naughties. I do a lot of prep each day for the podcast, for stuff I'm working on, even for my life. I decided this weekend Bruce and I were going to have a date night, so I got prepared.
