Ringo Starr, Bradley Cooper, and a whole lot of true crime—this edition of Celebrity Sleaze is stacked.

• True Crime Overload – Leslie’s drowning in murder docs. She’s juggling the Manson special on Netflix and Last Take: The Rust on Hulu, which breaks down the Alec Baldwin tragedy. Barnes can’t do grainy ‘60s footage—too old-school.
• Big Bang Theory Launching a Podcast – A little late to the game, but Chuck Lorre is behind it. No Kaley Cuoco? Suspicious.
• Conan O’Brien’s Travel Show Is Thriving – Already renewed for season three before season two even airs. 
• Don Johnson Warned Dakota Against Acting – He cut her off financially after high school, but she booked The Social Network three months later. Oops.
• Chris Martin & Dakota Johnson’s Low-Key Getaway – Barnes spills on their Four Seasons Naviva retreat in Mexico, complete with paparazzi lurking in boats. They handled it like pros.
• Bradley Cooper Joins Righteous Gemstones – Danny McBride just casually asks for Cooper, and somehow, he says yes.
• Leslie’s Big CBS Moment – Turns out, Leslie was behind Ringo Starr: A Lifetime of Peace and Love, the all-star tribute that aired Monday. She booked Jack White, Sheryl Crow, and a long list of heavy hitters.
