[Lauren LaRosa]

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything and every body know. She don't lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot. Hey, y'. All, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. All right, y', all, checking in behind the scenes of the grind. It is the top of the week. We are kicking off on Monday. Feeling really good. I don't know where you guys are located, where you live in, but in New York City, girl. Okay, this week is. The weather is giving. Go sit by some water. Go sit somewhere and have a drink and just enjoy the facts. I don't know that it's Monday. That is. Whatever, okay? It's just you. When the weather changes, I feel like it.

[Stephanie Young]

You.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You realize how much it changes. Just everything. Your attitude, you're wanting to get up, get out, go do things. I don't. I've been cleaning all Sunday and just. I mean, that's what normal. I feel like Sunday is always a cleaning day, but when the weather is good, it's just. I don't know, it's just a different feeling. So as the grind and all the moving around is happening, good weather always makes it feel better. So I'm excited for that. So, I mean, let's get into, like, some fun things this episode since it's, like, such a perky. Because we only got this good weather for about three days over here, y', all. So you know what I'm saying, Little Uzi. We've only been here for, like, three days, so let's get on in to the latest because the people are outside, child. The weather is getting better. People outside acting up, kissing, and more things. Let's talk about it. So Damson, Idris and Lori Harvey. Lori Harvey is the youngest daughter of Steve and Marjorie Harvey. And I feel like her dating life has always been the thing that people just. They don't mind their business about it. They don't. She is, you know, one of those people who. And I don't know her personally, but just from watching her be young and. And navigate the dating scene. She's 28 years old. She's one of those people who. I mean, she's not. It doesn't seem like she's staying anywhere that isn't working out for her, but.

[Dr. J. Barnett]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Baby girl is back in a relationship with Damson Idris who has risen to the top of actors on the Hollywood scene in Leeds and, you know, big studio like. And I say big. I mean, the, the movies that are making the coin. Okay. Dale St. Eatris recently starred in Formula one, which was a movie about a NASCAR driver who was like, in it. So he started alongside Brad Pitt. Let me not, you know, omit that. So he started alongside Brad Pitt. And the movie is all about the NASCAR world. So in this movie, Damson plays a rookie NASCAR driver who is trying to win and try to get the team to where they need to be. But in order for him to do that and adjust his attitude and do all the things he needs to do, OG NASCAR driver played by Brad Pitt is brought in to kind of like break him down, to build him back up. And the movie did amazing. This is Dimson Idris's year when it comes to, well, last two years, when it comes to his break in Hollywood. I mean, you know him from snowfall, you know him from so many things. But I think especially as a black male lead actor, being, you know, within the first three on a cross sheet is important. But also being within movies that are actually on record, making money at the box office is important not only because about, because it changes the way people talk about you, because you can bring people out to the theater, but. But it also ups the amount of money that you make in the following films that you're in. And he's back in love. So Dancing Idris and Lori Harvey have been on and off again since about like 2022. So it's been some years for the couple. And at one point they were off. So they were dating. You know, they made it Instagram official. Back in 2022 in LA, we started seeing them out together. I remember they were out at Catch One at one point and people were going crazy because she had, you know, broken up and moved on from Michael B. Jordan, also very well known male lead actor on the scene. So it was a big deal. I mean, she went, she's high profile herself, but you're dating, you know, one of the biggest names in Hollywood, actor wise, and then you begin dating Damson Idris. When I say the people were in her business like never before, locked in, but we didn't really know what was happening. We saw them, you know, popping out a little bit, but we didn't really know what was happening, how serious it was. And then on her birthday, Damson Idris posted a photo. And this is just background for you guys so y' all can understand why the People are going so crazy right now to see them kissing on the balcony in Paris like a couple does. Okay, so they're out having a good time, 2022, they then decide to let the world know that they've broken up in 2023. But then they start popping out again. We see them sometime after in Mexico. So September 2025, they did a trip to Mexico and there was PDA in these photos. They were in Puerto Vallarta. They're all in the water, just having a good time. It's giving couple. But again, both really big names in Hollywood. They're not two people that are going to ever confirm or deny too much of anything. But we've seen them in pictures at parties together since the breakup. And it's. There's no way that they're not together. And, and if you did not know, a recent video that surfaced definitely confirmed it. So Damson Idris and Lori Harvey are over at Paris Fashion Week because all the people are over there right now. I want to get over there. That is like a goal of mine. And they're at a Paris Fashion Week event. And granted they left this event separately, like in two separate cars, which is like the old Hollywood thing. Like you come separate, you leave separate. And to be honest with you guys, I don't even know why they did that because like I said, this is not the first time where we've seen them together interacting like we know they together. But look, I'm mad at him for trying to keep some sense of privacy. It's just not working. So they're on this balcony. Lori Harvey has. It's definitely a wine glass in her hand. I don't know if there's water in the glass, but baby, she is wooed by the vibes and the feeling. You see them having like a flirty conversation as such at some point. And then mid conversation, Lori Harvey grabs Dan and Idris by the back of his necks and gives him this passionate kiss. And I'm just like, girl, you better go off. Okay, that is a leading box office man. You were to address him and teach him and kiss him as such. It looks like something from a movie scene though. Like even if you knew they were dating, even if you've seen other photos of them before, this video and this visual picked up because number one, they just look so damn good together. Lori Harvey is gorgeous and she's in this like sleek fitting black dress and there's wine in hand and he's in this T shirt. He looks amazing in the T shirt. She's grabbing him by the back of his head. The kiss is so passionate, the wine glass never slips. And then he just like whisk off back into the event and she's there and then she heads out and then again. I told you they left the event separately, so they are still trying to keep it on the low. But baby, we didn't see. No, we needed to see. And I'm not mad at them, okay? I think it's so fire when especially a young couple that is as known and recognizable as the two of them are separately and now together gives you nothing of what you want to know, but everything you need to see. Live by those rules, okay? Give you nothing of what you want to know, but enough, okay? Everything you need to see.

[Dr. J. Barnett]

What's up, everyone? My name is Dr. J. Barnett and I am the host of just heal with Dr. J podcast. Listen. One thing that I remember about my childhood is being able to remember my phone number. Because it was like the theme at that time. You got to remember your phone number in case you get somewhere and you can't get in touch with anybody, you need to be able to remember your phone number. Did you know that 2026 will mark the 150th anniversary first ever phone call. It took place March 10, 1876. And from the call that sparked it all to the first long distance phone lines, the first line across America, the first line across the Atlantic, the first round the world call, the first commercial cell service, the first 911 system. AT&T has been connecting people for 150 years in so many different ways. So when I think about ATT and their 150 years, I think about the lives that have been saved. I think about the joy that has been shared. Because nothing says connection like AT&T.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Connecting changes everything. AT&T.

and speaking of dancing, Idris just wanted to mention again because for those of you guys who don't know and who haven't been following, I feel like Formula one was so big, but at the same time there wasn't as much praise around what he did in that movie as far as like box office stuff. Like, so the movie made $630 million at the box office and it became the most successful sports movie of all time. And he is one of the leads of the movie to the point where last week it was announced that he became a global ambassador of Formula one. And his job in that he bridges the world of Formula one and NASCAR with like culture and entertainment. And he's, I mean at this point he's kind of like living the role of the character in real life because he gets to attend like Grand Prix Grand Prix events and just support F1 and all the different things and content and partnerships that they're going to be doing and promotional activities across the landscape. Especially now because this movie and his work alongside Brad Pitt and so many others in this movie put the Formula one conversation in a different space in entertainment and fashion and culture. And I think whenever anything attaches to culture, especially if you sprinkle us on up in there, it just, I don't know, it surpluses the audience, the reach and the impact. And I think watching him from, you know, snowfall to any of the other places that we've ever seen him to then hitting a major box office seller and being successful in it at the box office is such a big deal. And I know he has Miles Davis coming up. He's going to be playing Miles Davis in the new Miles and Juliet, which is a conversation about Miles Davis and Juliet Greco and, like, their romance story. So he has that coming as well, too. But I mean, at this point, honey, this is his year. He got the girl, he got. He got the. The gold when it comes to the box office. So congratulations to Lori Harvey and Damson Idrisson. Y' all keep being beautiful out there in Paris, okay? Because the way that the weather is given over here right now, I wish I was on somebody's balcony with my man, okay? When I saw that, I was like, yes, period.

[Lauren LaRosa]

so as we wrap and before we get out of here, I do want to give you guys a quick update. If you check out our previous episode, we did an interview with Gina Monterosso who works in the conservatorship expert space and she talked about to us about Britney Spears and Britney Spears being pulled over and arrested on suspicion of a dui. And we went deep into the conversation of like what should happen now for Britney. And we kind of touched some uncharted waters because people hate to ever say that Britney Spears should be back in a conservative conservatorship of sorts. But there has been so many things since she's been freed all of these years, since 2021, you know, reportedly, but also confirmed happening within her household that now a dui, there was a suspicion of it because again, we don't have, you know, her actual reporting of the testing that she did. All we know is that there was a field sobriety of some sort, but then she was taken right to the hospital, which I do plan on having a conversation with the California Highway Patrol. One of the lieutenants over there has been the one that I've been seeing giving a lot of the statements to outlets that. And so I plan to give them a call. And so I'll be back with that update here or the Breakfast Club, wherever you listen to me. But I want to have a conversation with them because in all of the reporting, it's like field sobriety, they call someone to do field sobriety. There's no reports of exactly what that looked like and if it happened and then it's like they took it right to the hospital. And normally when that happens it's because someone refuses to do a breathalyzer on the scene. But there's a new report that basically makes it very clear that Britney Spears did not take anybody on a high speed chase. You there has been a conversation about Britney previously in, in, you know, car chases, not car chases, but just erratic driving. And they're basically making it clear that that did not happen. So according to the report, there's some dispatch audio and in the dispatch audio there's a, there's a first call that comes in about Britney's car and that's about, around about like 8:13pm and she was pulled over an hour later. Now the lieutenant that is speaking out, he explained to a few outlets, including tmz, which is where I got the report from, that there were other drivers that could have also saw her car weaving on the road and they also called the cops. But that doesn't mean that an officer was just like waiting around or was in the area. So eventually an officer was in the area, spotted her and was able to stop her. And he confirms that Britney pulled over immediately and there was no chase that happened. So they're clearing that up. But there are just still a lot of questions here, so we'll be following this as well, too, as things progress. And, you know, as the latest comes in, I got y'. All, so thank you guys for tuning in. I tell you, every single episode, you guys could be anywhere with anybody, but y' all choose to be right here with me. Lauren the Rosa. This is another episode of the Latest with Lauren LaRosa and my lowriders. I appreciate you guys for tuning in. If y' all can't tell, I'm ready to go enjoy this weather. Like, I just.

[iHeart Podcast Awards Announcer]

Ugh.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I love New York when the weather breaks, so hopefully we get a few more days of this. I'll catch you guys in my next episode. See you soon. This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
