VI Shooters.

Welcome to the naughtyven I sham your host Rush Shooter, and it's Wednesday, which means our dear friend Donny Meacham joins us. Hey, Donnie, are you there?

All level level level level? Ow if you thought you were rid of me, because those last few weeks of December wasn't here, it was the holidays. We guess we're I'm back twenty twenty, twenty twenty five.

We never want to see the end of view. We don't want to get rid of you. We love you.

Originally I was the ridge of the ogre.

If people don't realize this. Before I got the podcast, I had a radio show, the Subscription Show, and Donnie was the producer who was assigned to the show. He didn't really want to do it, but they forced him to do it, and then he fell in love Shooter.

Well, well, like would be a good thing. Also not tease. I believe in the power of manifestation. That's what we're going to do this year, in twenty twenty five. We're going to positivity and speaking words. So I am up for a I can't say much about a campaign like a commercial, and it's a pretty big commercial with a pretty big deal, so I and we'll find out either later this week or early next week. So everybody out there, just yeah, good vibes, good vibe.

Goode, Oh Donnie, that makes me so happy. I cheer for my friends. If you have people around you who don't cheer for you, they're not your friend.

Get rid of them, Get get get rid of them.

For a long time, Johno, we both had people in our lives who didn't really want us to succeed. They were a friend as long as we were a little less than them. But once we spread our wing, so to speak, they weren't quite as friendly and anymore. And we both got rid of that person, and I think we're better off for it. Okay, let's jump into the show. What time is it, my friends? It is big story at the top of the shows have finally Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have been spotted together holding hands in Santa Monico. And so we told you about this couple first. We were the first to break this news. I knew about it from my theater insiders. They met on the Music Man, they fell in love. Then he got divorced from his wife of over twenty years. She's now divorced. She's in La doing Once Upon a Mattress, which is a musical. She's doing it at the Armuson Theater in La. He was spotted there in the audience, but not with her. Well now, just a few days later we have spotted them together. It was a date night. They look really, really happy. It's the first public display of affection that we've seen from these two. They've been together for about two months now. Eyewitnesses said that they both were really happy. They were walking hand in hand, and they didn't appear to realize that the paparazzi in the photograhgraphers took their picture. Beautiful pictures out there. You can google them, you can see these pictures. I like these two as a couple. I don't like how it began. It's always complicated, and I'm sure we'll be looking at this timeline carefully. It's like Arianna Grande and Ethan, her boyfriend. They got together on a movie they made at work, but they both were married. Brad and Angelina the same. It's a messy beginning to a relationship, Donnie, but it doesn't mean the relationship itself has to be messy. What do you think about these two, what about them getting together? What do you think about their exes? Just a lot here.

Yeah, So they were in Santa Monica, which is a beautiful city by the beach here in California. And the picture is they look genuinely happy. I'm not gonna lie like when I saw the picture, they were smiling. I smiled because I was like, whoa, these two actually look happy. And it's also it's interesting to see a Hollywood couple. You know, he's fifty six, she's forty nine. They're actually close in age. That's strange. But you know all the rumors about Hugh. Maybe I'll go sit outside the armis in theater and just open up the old Grinder and see what happens.

Grinder is a day dating app for the listeners that there's lots of rumors about you being gay for a long time. And that was because he married a woman older than him. If a man had done that, nobody would notice. But the fact his wife, deb was ten years older, everyone was like, oh my goodness, he's gay. She's the beard. Debbie has to get really annoyed about this. They used to live quite close to me. They don't live there anymore. I think deb still does. And I'd bump into them on the west side walking their dogg Is they looked like they were a couple. I didn't believe he was gay. He's not, and now we know that because of certain foster. So how do you feel, though, Donnie, about a relationship starting before a previous relationship actually ends.

So here's the thing, and it kind of goes back to the whole area on a grande thing is that so he was married for twenty seven years to Deborah and you just don't know the workings of a relationship because people can still be together on paper, They can still be together like physically because they're living in the same house. But that relationship could have been over for years. And the thing is, we just don't know that because neither of them have kind of really come out and talked more about it. I think he would be smart to tend to not talk about it because they will always be these rumors and stuff about him. But you know, mentally wise and emotionally wise, this relationship could have been over for a while. But the problem is, though, is it could have been over on one side more than the other. I'm assuming his side more than hers, because he's the one already in a new relationship. The only thing I just wish is that he didn't blindside her with this relationship. He was open and honest about, Hey, I'm out there seeing other people.

Yeah, she was at the Music Man a lot. I was lucky enough to be invited to the opening nights. I sat just behind Ryan Reynolds lower and Deb was there. But the vibe I got was very much she was his manager, not his wife. She was his publicist, she was his cheering rumors, and so there was lots of rumors for a long time. Mindside has telling me that they didn't want to fall in love, that Sutton and Hugh just had this spark and they kept it at bay for as long as possible. And Mindsiders who were friends with you, So you have to remember that A saying that he did talk to Deb about this. She did know that they were not getting along, that there was trouble in the relationship, that Sutton had come along, and that Sutton was very happy to walk away from this. She was married too at the time, but there was something that pulled them together. And now, even though it started in a really messy messy way. It doesn't have to be messy in I do like that these two are not hiding anymore. It's a new Year's resolution to be out there, to be proud about the love they've found, if not really proud about how they've found it. But life is really messy, which brings us to our pole question of the day. We finally spotted to you Jackman and Sudden Foster holding hands in public together in Santa Monica. Oh it's nice there. It's a really fancy, beautiful, beautiful rich Do you support this relationship? Are you into it? Yes? Or no? Go vote on our Twitter page at Naughty Nice rob a Facebook page which is Naughty Gossip, and be sure to check back to my ra will hate you your results. Hey Donnie, what are you working on?

Also, it's uh so yesterday and today here in California, we have been experiencing crazy, crazy winds, and so for me, I'm kind of like have this. It's so weird because they're like thirty five mile an hour guys, they are life threatening wins. And it's it's scary because all these buildings here they're old. It's like my apartment is built in the nineteen forties. We have these very tiny windows, and so it feels like the entire apartment's shaking. So while I'm you know, doing the show right now, I'm just kind of.

Like, oh, oh no, Donnie, don't fly off until twenty minutes. I'll be furious if you leave halfway through the show. Hold out of that window talkfest like Dorothy and the Wisdom of ours Hell.

Look, Megan Marco, yes, and she is trying. She is out there. She might as well go down to the Walk of Fame and pedal her products one by one on the She is her lifestyle brand, Riviera or Jared American Riviera Orchard which don't forget she couldn't find a CEO forever, so what did she do? Made herself CEEO.

She's gonna be.

Selling her products directly to viewers via Netflix. So she has a new lifestyle show with Love Megan. It's gonna debut on January fifteenth. I'm not gonna lie. I'm probably gonna skip it, but you know, whatever, I enjoy you. I implore you to watch it. Very smart though, because it's almost like a home shopping network with QBC, which people might forget that they're around they make billions of dollars a year selling. Only thing I am interested to see how it works is if they do some sort of QR code that you can scan on your phone. Because the problem with me, though is when I met home and I'm scrolling through my phone is Apple pay has been the worst thing to ever happen to a person.

Who shaps and you don't know you spend your money?

Do you just click on it and then you hit Apple Pay and then it's just boom boom, boom boom.

I know those ubers because it always gets charged to your credit card. If you remember of a private club, there's private clubs in New York and they don't accept money. They just bill you each month. Well really, they just take it off your credit card and you can get very very dangerous. I think this is a good idea. Now people are going to look down upon this because they're going to be, oh, Megan selling out, Yes she is. She's gonna make money, that's what she's doing now. They want to make a lot of money. And if she has successful products, there's nothing like fragrances and products to make you a ton of money. You know. Ryan Reynolds had a tequila brand, So did George Clooney. Lots of people do this. I'm not a snob about it. Does it feel a little qv cee Yes, But there's nothing wrong with that either. Big stars now go on QVC to sell their products. I think this is smart and I think she didn't do it, it'd be a wasted opportunity. And if Netflix are going to be okay with this, and they've done it in the past, there's been other examples when their style, yes, exactly, sell products, endorsement deals and Netflix. Netflix is probably taking a percentage out of this. They might take five attempence I know.

So that's them money.

That will make them money too, And they've got to make back that hundred million that they gave her. This is just all a way to make more money. Welcome to America. That's what the game is here. And so if you're a snob about this, if you're looking down you know, is that this, then I think you're a little bit out of perspective. Here, girl, make that money. I think she's trying to do it in a in a sort of classy way. She wants this to be a lifestyle show. It ain't. It's q the see. She might as well stand there with those pots of jam and sell them, don't.

I If I had a product other than myself, I would sell it to you every week here on the ninety but nine show. I mean you could just venmo me. I don't care. I'm selling myself. I'm the product. If we had a product, we would sell it to you.

We've got to get a product. Should we do? Should ourselves? Honey? Not selling ourselves? Toney, I'm not walking fee picks. It's out rageous. Let's move you lounged Donny Meachum. Oh, Dennie Moore's Golden Globes speech, It's really exposed a really ugly side of Hollywood. So Demi had a beautiful speech saying that she was told once by a producer that she was a popcorn actress, putting her down and saying basically that she could make a lot of money and she could be in summer blockbusters, but she was never gonna wouldn't win any awards, she was never gonna have a prestigious career. Well, now she's proving them wrong. However, friends are now telling pay six that this is what Hollywood is. After Demi took a long break. It was really hard for her to get back into the business. And if you look at her IMDb, you will see that there's this huge gap and then after the gap, just tiny little rolls, little cameos. It took her a long time to fight back, and I think it's about agism too, particularly with female actresses in Hollywood. They can be really, really brutal, really really cruel. Demi. I love that you get in the last slav here. I think it's so inspiring. You're such a talented actress that has often been undervalued because you're just so pretty. Like you never think of being pretty as a bad thing. It's not. It's a great thing. But sometimes when you're as beautiful as Demi, you were sort of devalued a little bit. You thought it was just that pretty dumb girl, and that's absolutely not the case. I love that she's she's back, and she's arguably bigger than she's ever been before. Donning Yes.

I mean, here's the thing. One of my favorite movies of all time is Gi Jane with Jimmy Moore, is where she went to the army and she did her She's a very talented actress, and here is the reality of Hollywood is a lot of actresses and actors out there. They are popcorn actresses. They're meant for summer blockbusters. They're not meant to win Oscars and not meant to do that, and they're okay with that. The problem is is there are Hollywood execs out there and they have the audacity and the nerve to tell you these things to your face. And it's like, what do you get out of telling me this. You're purposely putting me down while cashing my paycheck that I'm earning for you. It's really insulting. And Demmy's speech was beautiful. And also, let's not forget she spent a lot of time taking care of Bruce. She has a really good relationship with her ex husband Bruce Willis and their kids, and she Bruce's Bruce is dying.

Let's be honest with you.

Bruce is going through a really hard time and she takes care of him along with his new current partner. And Demmy had the last laugh. And if Demi was to never work again after this, I think emotionally she would feel on top. And I think that is what matters.

Absolutely. Donnie just said that, you know, before we do our final story before the break. I think of you as much more than a popcorn podcast host, much more. I see webbies, I see lots of woods, and I see a big commercial that we are all visualizing. We want it, we want it, we want it, okay quickly before we get a break. A sad story, Aubrey Plaster is finally speaking out about the tragic death of her husband.

What does she have to say so her film like her husband Jeff Baina died at forty seven years old, and he died by suicide, And she said, it is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy at the time, a very short statement, she says, I could not imagine living with somebody, being married to somebody and then one day them committing suicide. The pain and the guilt this woman must be going through of wondering could she have done more? Could she have helped him more? It has to be just as she says, unimaginable. And so I think the best we can all do is give her a minute.

Let's go to breathe. Yeah, Donnie, let's listen to our own words. YT's give us some grace here. We're not going to talk about Aubrey until she wants to talk to us again and do publicity and be back out there. And so we're definitely going to give her grace on this show. And I hope other shows are the podcasts of the TV shows. I hope they do too. Okay, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Welcome back to the Naughty but nic Sham your hisstor of shoot with their dear friend Donnie Meecham. Hey, Donnie, let's get to the polls. Yesterday we confirmed that Jen and Ben Benny for Part two is officially over. They finalized their divorce. A checky question, do you think they'll get back together again? Because we didn't think the second time? Could then a third time. Let's have a look. Eighty percent said no, No, this is not happening again. I think I'm with you, but you never know in Hollywood, you never never, never know, and so I think I'm with you. Naughty's don't forget to vote on today's poll. Go to our Twitter page at Naughty Nice Rob at facebook page is Naughty Gossip, and be sure to check back to Mara Walter, hear your results and now it's time for an nisiest of the day. Well.

Also in true Ben and Gin fashion, Jen was at Ben's house the morning divorce was fine.

Let's so betten in that any here?

So the nicest of the day Taylor Swift. She was sunbathing in a bikini with her backup singers and a rare behind the scenes snap. So she was taking a break from her record breaking eras tour and her crew and all them. They were just on the beach and she looked sunny and beautiful. And it's only rare because we never really see pictures of Taylor Swift like this. I don't know if she has one of those. It's got to be a rule in her contract. If you work with me, give me your phone, if we go anywhere, you're not allowed to take pictures of me. There's got to be something, because we never really see pictures of Taylor Swift.

Mmm, you know she's in a bikini? Yeah, yeah, I mean I do love that she's aware this picture has been taken. It was posted by one of her longtime backup singers. They've been friends for a long time. Mind Side has tell me their friends. Taylor approved this. Nobody's posting pictures of her without her permission, so it's all kosher. It's nice to see them off stage, and it's also nice to real that they hang out. I've worked with a lot of pop stars who don't talk to anybody in their crew. They don't even know the name of the people in the band. I always laugh in these concerts when they're like, please give the band a random applause. They're my best friends. I love my backups that you don't name the names name but barely barely know them. That's not true with Taylor. They hang out as equals as possibly they can, considering she's got a billion a billion dollars and they don't. But she's very generous to them, and not just generous with her money, with her time. I think they've developed really beautiful friendships and it makes me happy and nicest. Of the day now and he's the day, naughty, naughty MS and not he's of the day Meredith the Era from the Today Show. She's lost her husband, Richard Cohen, who died at seventy six years old after fighting a fifty year MS battle. So Meredith and her husband have been together for a long, long, long, long, long long time. Now they're friends and Savannah have shared the heartbreaking news on the Today Show that Richard passed away surrounded by family and love. They have three children together. I know Meredith a little bit, and she's such a cool, smart, kind person, and Richard was always the center of her life. Despite this enormous TV career, all this success, Richard was the heartbeat of that family. He has been battling MS for fifty years five zero, so this became a way of life for Meredith and her husband. It wasn't just a few short years at the end of his life, the majority of his life. When he was twenty six, he was diagnosed with their mess, so he's had this a really long time. Rest in peace, Meredith, We are sending you our love. Okay, let's end with a moment of rab Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding on the twentieth. You got to keep trying, won't give up. That's all that success is. If people ask me my definition of success, it's the willingness to try and try again and try again. After that, I could fail nineteen times on the twentieth I will succeed and I promise the same is true for you. Keep going. You just need one yes. Hey, that is it for today.
