So that's one of two sponsors and let's go to page six. Let's go check out. This has been all over my feed. Ladies and Bravo stars swoon over Glenn Powell mid buzz that he and Sydney Sweeney are dating. So I am someone who reported here that there was no question. I think there was. I. Well I'm always. I'm not one to say there's no question she's broken up but they were not seen together in months and years or something. She was dating some guy who was just businessman. He never had a job. Actor Glenn Powell's new line of condiments is making. Did you ever think that would be a sentence? This is the thing I was told the minute you start making money in the this entertainment thing, you will not believe where the money comes from. That was what I was told. I was told that by someone who was pretty successful, is pretty successful and makes a lot of money. And this is one of those where like Glenn Powell is probably sitting there and he's like wait, condiments? Yeah, I could get into condiments. And they're like yeah, we're going to give you a piece of the company. Just go out there and hawk some ketchup and you're going to make millions. And that's what he's doing. Actor Glenn Powell's new line of condiments is making some ladies feed saucy. It seems. At an event to celebrate the launch of his smash kitchen range, one googly eyed admirer told the hidden figure star. I love the taste of your mustard in my mouth. Wow. Who was that? Because I saw like pictures from every angle from this event. Every influencer and their mother was invited. And there's a picture of him with Carl Radke and Luke Goldbrinson. I don't know Luke. I know Carl. I guess there car. I mean Glenn's got his eyes closed in this picture. I mean Glenn came ready to throw some condiments out there. The actor hit the town in New York City on Tuesday night amid the hoopla caused by reports that he and his anyone but you co star Sydney Sweeney are an item they're not for a launch party on the Lower east side. That's the thing. Sydney Sweeney gets know, breaks up with her fiance, and then here's this guy going, I, I, I don't know. There's got to be a horseshoe up Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney's ass because this non relationship keeps making them money during, you know, everyone, oh, they're cheating on, they're cheating on their spouses while promoting a movie, gets a free promotion for the movie. Then the day his condiment line. I can't even say believe I'm saying that his it comes out. Oh, Cindy Swede gets breaks. It's like they like coerced. To me, it's as if they have stock in each other. Like this is like insider trading to have the same day she breaks up. Oh, guess who's here. Glen Powell. What? Bravo stars Gia Gid Giadichi G is the one that's the daughter of who started a podcast. And every time a TikTok comes up from it, I want to throw myself into a pack of wolves and have them eat me. Okay, Carl Radke. Let's see. Wood and Luke Gabrinson were also angling for his attention. In Radke's case, it was a direct order from his mom to get a photo with the Top Gun maverick star. Carl's job is now basically to just be at these events. I think Carl just needs to be around a camera to do whatever he can. He said. An insider told Page Six, uh, the BO duo bonded over their love of their moms. Hey, you know, I heard you love your mom, Glenn. Me too. I love my mom. Glenn Powell. Who, who did Listen, I, I if for those J Train podcast fans that are listening right now, Glenn Powell was voted the J Train sexiest man of the year award. So he is J Train approved. We, we hear he that by our movie ombudsman. Our movie the baby voted him every year. We're gonna have a sexiest man on this on this on this podcast. And the baby named Glenn Powell our sexiest man. So we hear he called it a night early because of his Today show appearance this morning where he played coy about the Sweeney dating rumors. This guy is making so much money off of this not relationship. His pals and mom, however, are a bit more forthcoming on the matter. They are not dating, just good friends. A source told Page Six. Yeah, they're Good friends who are making each other loads of cash by not talking about this. Rumors of them being romantically involved hit fever pitch this week after they were spotted together in Texas celebrating the wedding of his younger sister Leslie. His mom Cindy dismissed chatter as silly, telling the Daily Mail, they're definitely not together. There's nothing going on behind closed doors. The mom, I mean, my God, it is amazing how it's weird for the mom to not just be like, I don't know what my kid do. Like, my mom would be like, who knows what Jared does. Meanwhile, it's all about flavored mustard and ketchup for Powell. The brand exclusively hit shelves at Walmart today. Oh, so he's in a Walmart. This guy's going to make a killing. And and we hear his he plans to launch keep his launch party going with an invite only barbecue in LA on Friday. We hear. Yeah, you heard from him and his PR people. Let's. Oh, I like this one. This one is a Live with Kelly and Mark will debut a new Hudson Square set on April 14, but we'll shoot from cafeteria until then. Cause they're just like us. Kelly and Mark. Just two regular Jims and Joes and Jessica's. Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos big move to ABC and Disney's new swanky new Hudson Square headquarters is a bit delayed. It seems the husband and wife co host of the morning show will officially broadcast from their new set on April 14th before but we're told they'll have to film near the buffet until then. They're basically going to be doing it from the cafeteria lobby because they don't have a studio. This will be Kelly playing. Oh, this is just like my kitchen. Kelly is a tough watch for me because I just don't buy it. I think you know, Kelly is a is what I would call a like, like a CEO type. Like this woman will get what she wants and crush anyone that's in her way. And the idea that, oh, we're just by the cafeteria. Oh my God, what are we gonna get? Sloppy Joes? Another insider described the location as a gorgeous, open, sprawling space near the cafeteria. I like that person. I like that person who tried to sell this is the person that sold it to Kelly. No. Isn't that the cafeteria? No, no, no. It's a gorgeous, open, sprawling space that happens to be close to the cafeteria. But you'll be close to all the good snacks. It's amazing. They insisted they're just putting the final touches on the studio but everyone is thrilled to be in this new Disney building. They said Disney has previously hosted movie premieres and events in the temporary space. A production source confirmed we'll be broadcasting our show live next week from the beautiful 10th floor in our new building while we put the final touches on our studio. Okay, so this whole cafeteria thing, it sounds like someone said cafeteria and everyone is trying to distance themselves from said cafeteria. Nonsense. Ripa and Consuelos taped their final show from 7 Lincoln Square, the show studio for 37 years, on Tuesday. Sources describe the farewell as bittersweet. Yeah, you're going to a brand new, beautiful place. Ripa, who joined the show in 2001 as co host to Regis Philbin, reminisce about their kids growing up in the building, which is now somewhat decrepit. Okay, the show aired, I mean, the show aired a rerun from November. On Wednesday after the big move, we hear they'll return to live shows Monday. The couple and their new and their TV crew join ABC News, abc, Disney shows like the View and Tamron Hall. Everyone is excited. The production source says the this has to be a consolidation. This has to be them saying, we're only doing so many shows now, bring it all to one building. And they're trying to put, I would say a little bit of a bow on a little turd because this is, it's not network tv, you know, I know. I, I've done some reading on the subject. Kelly and Mark have the highest ratings, but it's because all these other shows are going away. We hear the next week's guests will include Elizabeth Moss, Jay Shetty, who will also be joining yours truly on the U UP podcast. Bradley Whitford. Oh, I love Bradley Woodford. Walton Goggins, that guy is huge right now. Tracy Ellis Ross and other people. So there we go. New studio. Must be a slow news day. Whoa. So this was something that came up. Kelly Clarkson, she has a daytime show and there were these guest hosts that were basically saying, like simu Lou was the guest host and he was like, I found out five minutes ago. People were like, is Kelly okay? Here's the title. Kelly Clarkson wants to quit her talk show and leave nyc. But NBC is desperate to keep her happy. Why are they desperate? Do you think that is, is, is that show, like, necessary? Kelly Clarkson is looking to leave her afternoon talk show when the contract expires next year. And NBC execs are searching for ways to keep her on the network multiple it must do. Well, the chart topping singer turned host of the Kelly Clarkson show was off the air for almost two weeks last month for what was described as a personal matter. Now, sources tell us that the since you be gone singer wants to step down from the show that she has been helming since 2019 to spend more time with her daughter River Rose and son Remy. She's got a 10 and an 8 year old she wants. I, I can understand that. That's a daily show. Kelly's number one priorities are children. Well, this is, this is her PR people. Yeah, her number one priority is her children. Who. What, what about, what about her show that airs at 3pm and talks about nonsense like of course and they always will be. Well, I, I get so annoyed at quotes that are just use the shields. But what about the kids? It's like, yeah, no one is saying that Kelly Clarkson's number one priority isn't the being a mom. And this quote, kelly, Kelly's number one priority is her children and they always will be. Really? Who's against that? No one in the history of humans, says one industry insider of the star. Yeah, her, her PR person said that. Who originally hails from Texas. The show is grueling. It's a lot of work. And I hear that Kelly would like to spend more time down south. Well, let me, let me say it here on the J Train PODC on Pop Culture Thursday. This is a job I would love. I would love to talk to celebrities about stupid gossip and nonsense and laugh at their stupid jokes and tell them that they're amazing and then look all sad and, and, and, and, and caring when they talk about their stupid fucking charities. That's what I would love to do. I, it seems like the job of the guest hosts included in including, you know, so they all guest host. So this is no new information. This is her team being like, how do we get out of this shit? Let them know we're not happy. The star, who went through a stressful divorce from her ex husband, Brandon Blackstock, quickly assured her audience that it's okay. We're gonna be okay and reminded them of the community they have created as she thanked them for lending and finding comfort in one another. Clarkson has in the past shared that her divorce was a lot more difficult than she originally let on. Well, that's sad to hear. Just to be brutally honest, I did not handle the divorce well. The stronger singer told Zane Lowe during a 2023 interview on Apple Music. What does not well mean? Like, I don't think anyone handles a divorce well. The star was paid in the range of 10 million per season as a Coach on the NBC void. The Voice, we're told, wow, 10 million a season. Is rumored to get more for hosting her show in a deal that was brokered by Blackstock, who was formerly her manager. Oh, that's gotta be frustrating. So I can. Now that's the story. Kelly Clarkson works on a show where her former manager and ex husband makes a killing. So he's getting 10% of 10 million, living large and doing nothing. Because he's probably not at the show anymore. As the manager, he'd probably have to be there every day and listen to her complaints and, you know, and then he's probably a producer. This is how this all works. When you have a show like this. Kelly Clarkson, if you go to the credits, you can see she is both on air talent and producer. So her ex husband. And that would be difficult. Imagine you're divorcing someone and they make money off a show with your name on it. It's a just emotionally, it doesn't matter how much you want them to have nothing. You want them to have less than nothing. This guy's off in Malibu on Tinder while she's going, you know, you know, going, you know, going to the mine, you know, every day to go to work. She's going to be on the Daily show. And he's just chilling. I now I've gone from. I don't know if I didn't feel bad for her, but I feel. I think this is way more annoying than this article is even describing. Despite this, another TV source notes that the show is expensive to produce and does not make a huge profit. It's a tough job and profit margins are low, says the source. Ooi when season seven was announced to take her, take her up to the end of 2026, Deadline reported that the. For the 2024, 2025 season, the Kelly Clarkson show averages 1.2 million viewers a day, an increase from fall 2023. Again, because these shows are disappearing, it's consistently ranks as one of the nation's top syndicated talk shows. So. But they said it doesn't make. I read it out or they're not making a lot of money. I mean, I don't care how much you get paid. 10 million. Listen, I'm willing to do it for half of what Kelly is getting paid. 22 daytime Emmys, including multiple wins for outstanding daytime talk series. Yeah, these are all awards that he is winning, too. Her ex. However, an industry insider told Page Six that the report does not make any sense. If she wants to spend more time with her kids. She certainly wouldn't get that at Today and she's never even co hosted Today with Jenna. Oh, they're saying this is a play to get on Jenna and Friends, the insider told us, while another source pointed out that it's possibly more grueling than her current gig. Is that the play? This week? Sources strenuously denied a report that Clarkson would be joining Jenna Bush hager on the 10am hour the today show replacing Hoda Copy. I don't know if that's a good match, her and Jenna Bush. Well, lot of stories coming to fruition here. I lot of lot of weeks be of these stories. Let's do an ad. Let's get the last ad out of the way.

Okay, I like this one. Michelle Obama, who is hot on the podcast scene, doesn't hold back when asked about dating someone who isn't financially sound. I married one. She's all the tea being spilled. Michelle Obama reflected on dating her now husband, Barack Obama, before he started his career and found financial success. During Wednesday's episode of her IMO Apology IMO podcast, in my opinion, the former first lady and her brother slash co host Craig Robinson chatted about money and relationships. Would you be attracted to a guy who's not financially sound when you met him? When you when you meet him? Robinson question to which Michelle responded, I married one. Look at this podcast, I'm sure. I mean, they show them sitting with Jay Shetty. Jay Shetty goes on everything. He's on our show, he's on this show, he's going on the on Kelly Ripa I left my corporate firm when I met Barack, she later explained. I had somebody who was like, I got your back. The risk, the risks you think you're taking, they aren't that crazy and I'm here to help you. And that, that's when I said I would rather have that in a partner than a higher income. I I gotta, you know what? She's kinda not including his potential. I would rather have somebody who is ready to do some hard things with me. But that meant I had to be ready for some hard things with him. Robinson claimed that women in general aren't like Michelle when she met Barack, 63, at a law at a law firm in 1989, in her mid-20s, saying many are looking for a good catch. I I this is this conversation is fraudulent. While Michelle argued that they shouldn't generalize all women, she agreed that some aren't looking deep enough. Instead, look at superficial traits when dating. I I I'm sorry, Michelle. I I'm sorry to the former first lady or to the I don't know, miss I don't know what you call the former first lady. Michelle was 25 and Barack was 28 when they met at Sydney Austin LLP law firm in Chicago, according to Business Insider. She makes it sound like he was the janitor. This guy went to Harvard, he is at a law firm. He's going to do well. Like the what they're leaving out is the idea of dating someone on their potential and their drive and their goals and that they have a sound plan to get to those goals. I don't think he was sitting there being like, well, you know, maybe I'll like move home or I don't think this is, this is the I this is a fraudulent interpretation of what makes someone fall in love with someone when they're starting their career. Within a month of meeting, the former president asked Michelle on a date and two who got engaged in 1991. They tied the knot the following year, welcomed their first daughter. The family's life in the Limelight started in 2004 when he was elected. States that. So. I don't know. I just don't buy the idea that she was with this poor loser. No, he was. He's at a law firm. What does this say? I. I don't know. The lesson. You ladies gotta stop being superficial. What? You, You, You. They. They. This. This article or this podcast. This description of the podcast makes it sound like, you know, he's Kelly Clarkson and went on an American Idol and became president that way. I'm sorry, Michelle. Mrs. Obama. I'm sorry. Okay, now, Meghan Markle is just reported on every single minute of every single day. Meghan Markle lets food writer into her real kitchen. So I guess the. The thing that. The feedback Meghan Markle is getting from her Netflix show is like, hey, you're doing this all from a stage kitchen. You don't really do these things that you're trying. You're trying to teach us how to be a better party thrower, better host. But, like, we don't believe that you've ever hosted a party. Meghan Markle lets food writer into her real kitchen at $14 million Montecito home under one strict condition. I can take off your shoes. This. I'm just imagining the article written about my mom. Kim Freed allows reporter to come see her real kitchen as long as they take off her shoes. And don't touch anything and don't eat any of the food. And watch out, you know, use the right bathroom. And one condition is. One strict condition is not a lot in this house. Meghan Markle had a strict rule for a reporter entering her and Prince Harry's $14.65 million Montecito, California mansion. No photos, please. Okay. New York Times food writer Jewel Julia Moskin revealed that Markle's photo free order after interviewing the Duchess of Sussex in her kitchen last week. I was allowed in on one condition. That no photographs were taken. Or. Or of the house. Were taken in or of the house. I don't know what Meghan Markle's doing. Listen, I find her completely fascinating because of what she does to people. The discussions she creates are more fascinating than she is. Okay. And I do think she knows she's profiting off of these discussions. I mean, the idea. Why wouldn't you let someone take a picture of your home? She doesn't want to fucking hear it. She. She saw the minute everything she puts up she knows is looked at with a fine tooth comb. But when you say, yeah, come over, see my kitchen. I do hosting stuff all the time, but no pictures. Please do not show the public how I live. And it's like you have a living show you are trying to. I don't know, listen, I don't know if Martha Stewart's home was shown on the show or if it was a staged kitchen. Moskin noted that she was the first journalist to be invited into Marco's home. The former Suits actress, 43, welcomed the foodie to promote her new lifestyle brand. See, this is the thing. You have a light. And the people who defend Marco, they go quickly to you're being racist. Which is like, I just don't buy that as like we are looking at the Sussex. The whatever, whatever Sussex. She is royalty. She is royalty. And when you. And then you're trying to hawk us tchotchkas, you're trying to get us in your lifestyle brand and you won't admit to what your lifestyle is. No pictures of my lifestyle. But come in here so I can get an interview to sell you my lifestyle. I don't, I just don't understand how you find how you get to the other end of that's not annoying. The former Suits actress, 43, welcomed the foodie to promote her new lifestyle brand as ever and Netflix series With Love. Meghan Markle notably filmed the show at an $8 million farmhouse rather than her own residence, which is just two miles away. Moskin wrote that the that that watching the retired actress cook in her own kitchen proves she has a real knack for homemaking. Last week's visit showed that she is a passionate home cook who knows her way around a vinegarette, is quick with a lemon zester and deft with a knife. She shared in Wednesday's profile. Marco's show was immediately met with a mix of criticism and praise. See, this is she. There's no nuanced conversation about this person. Upon its premiere last month, one review dubbed her queasy and exhausting, while others said she was not relatable. She lives in a 14 million dollar home and she's telling you how to, how to get people. But listen, if the show was admittedly like here's how rich people do parties. And it showed like a staff of people helping her. You know, if she just like said, oh, and in through this room while the staff of chefs and hired waitresses and bartenders did the party, I would go, okay, this is like a real party. You would throw Markle hit back at the claim that she presents an unattainable life, reminding Moskin she has not always been married to a prince. Right, right, right. I I this. Yeah, you were, you were in the attic while your evil stepsisters went to the ball and a fairy godmother came and said, get you put on your glass slippers. Don't they know my life hasn't always been like this? Yes, we know. Same with a lot of people. She said, gesturing to the sweeping views of her lavish property. I can't help but laugh. It is so unaware. Or it's so aware of being unaware. That's what I don't know. I think she knows what she's doing. To look at a reporter. Don't they know my life hasn't always been like this? And then gesture to the sweeping views of your lavish property like, it's just, I don't know. The Duchess has also explained her need to have a job despite marrying into the Royal family in 2018. Uh, I need to work and I love to work, she told the newspaper, noting that she has held jobs since she was 13 years old. There's a way I can connect my home life and my work. It is different, she said of her lifestyle endeavors. Being a mom to her and Harry's two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Marco was apparently humble while preparing fresh banana pudding, with the reporter admitting she is no expert in the field of cuisine. There are professionals who do that better than I ever will. Yeah, we, yeah, we know. We. Markle and Harry. I, I think, I think she is really great at riling people up. I'm watching, you know, the idea that you have to work. So the way I'm going to work is, you know, you could have a nonprofit. You could start your lifestyle brand and be behind the scenes. I mean, I don't know. I guess. The Kardashians are on their show. They have kept their living quarters quite private from the public, though they have shown glimpses of the pricey pad over the years. The property features nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a pool, a tennis court, a tea house, a rose garden, olive trees, a two bed guest house and a children's cottage. The children have their own home. How about this one? Malcolm in the Middle, child actor photographed for the first time in 18 years after revival News. Wow. It's the little kid. Eric Pur Sullivan was photographed in public for the first time in years. How does that happen? How do you go two decades without being photographed? Did no one care? I guess no one's following this guy around. He does look like he works as an accountant and he's on a weekend trip. He's in a sweater with the collar that looks like a vagina and he is carrying bags from like Whole Foods. The Malcolm in the Middle actor who played Dewey. Yeah, he was Dewey. He was the little kid. He was a cute little kid with any and now you look at him, you go, oh, that's Dewey. On the sitcom from 2000 to 2006 was snapped Wednesday in Boston. Running errands. The former child star, now 33, looked cozy yet professional in a gray sweater or top of collared shirt, which he paired with dark slacks and brown boots. I'm looking at him. He is anybody in Boston. Purr Sullivan, who carried two grocery bags as he descended some steps. Oh, he's got a weird hat on. He's wearing a hat that can only be described as weird. It is like sweater material. It looks like he's going on a pheasant hunt. He's got to be tall. He was later seen more bundled adding a brown coat and gray newsboy cap. I don't know if that's a newsboy cap as he carried a to go cup and a to go coffee cup in his hand. After Malcolm ended, Pursuivan starred in the 2007 dramedy Mo. In February of that year, he attended Boston's Oscar Night America, which marked his last public sighting. What did he do all those years? The then 15 year old with longish wispy hair stepped out for the event in a classic black tuxedo, which he accessorized. Okay. His final acting role before taking a step back from Hollywood was in 202010 teen drama 12 per Sullivan's on his name is Purr Sullivan. Purr Sullivan's onscreen mother and Malcolm Jane Kazmarick gush last year that he was doing very, very well, noting that he simply wasn't interested in acting at all after the beloved series wrap. That's the way to go. We did Malcolm for seven years, Kizmeric, 69, said an interview at the Paris Manga and sci FI show by TGS in 2024. He started age 7, ended at 14. That's a good run. Yeah, he was like the face of the show. She added that Pur Sullivan was attending a very, very prestigious American university that he's worked that he's asked his former castmates to be quiet about. He loves Charles Dickens. He's doing graduate work in Victorian literature. That's the person who should be doing Victoria literature. Like you know, you have a kid that's from like, that's like I'm going to, you know, let me take out some loans to do a Victorian literature, you know, degree. You go, ah, why don't you do, you know, math or whatever. This kid should do it. Let's do, we'll do one more story. And they do all these ads and okay, this headline, I mean, has to be from Justin Baldoni. It has to be. This is a Blake Lively. It's gotta be from Justin Baldoni's people. Blake Lively reveals it was her idea to touch co star Henry Golding's privates while filming A Simple Favor and then they show she's grabbing his privates. Blake Lively admits it was her idea to touch co star Henry Golding's private parts while filming a scene together for A Simple favor in resurfaced commentary. Yeah, this is to me, this is the PR war that she's still involved with Justin Baldoni because in reservice commentary about the movie after it wrapped, the 37 year old actress discussed the scene with director Paul Feig and costar Anna Kendrick, per a video shared on TikTok and X. This is one of my favorite additions that you came up with, Feig, 62. He doesn't sound great either, tells Lively, showing approval for the improvisation despite it not originally being part of the script. The filmmaker then laughs off how the Gossip Girl alumni grabbed Golding's nuts and added, anyway, you anyway, you really went for it too. This is a bad clip for her. The filmmaker then laughs off how the Gossip Girl alum grabbed Golding's nuts and added, anyway, you really went for it too. Oh man, Lively responds. That's always awkward when you're like, hey, hi, nice to meet you. Can I grab your nuts really hard? It's not because I want to, because I feel like she, my character would. I, I, I don't, I don't know if this works the other way. My character would grab your titties. Feig then says he asked the Age of Adeline star to do it harder. I mean, all of this, this is the worst. If this isn't Justin Baldoni's people, then they should pay these people who put out this story because this is out of nowhere. Fig then says he asked the Age of Adeline started Do It Harder, which Lively details that she obliged as homage to Baby Jane Hudson, a 1962 film character played by Bette Davis or Bette Davis who transformed a spoiled child star to a faded actress who descends into alcoholism and madness. What a what a what a stretch. Page Six has contacted Golding's reps for comment, but did not immediately hear back. Yeah, Henry's like, leave me the out of this. However, he filmed again with Lively, Fig and Kendrick for another Simple Favor, released last month. When asked at the south by Southwest premiere of the sequel how it was reuniting the ladies, Golding, 38, responding, responded, I mean, it's the best. Paul Feig, the Ladies. What could go wrong? So I guess there's a this is a sequel to a movie I've never heard of. Amid her ongoing legal battle with her and ends with US co star Justin Baldoni, Lively has been very outspoken that she is very much in favor of an intimacy coordinator being present while filming. Man, that story. That's crazy. We'll do we'll do one more. Why not? We're here. Let's do this one Ariana Dubose or dubois dubose Turns on co Star Rachel Zegler with Narcissism Post immediately backtracks Ariana Dubose appeared to turn on her west side Story co star Rachel Zegler, but by sharing a shady post about the embattled actress's narcissism, only to immediately take it back. The I mean, this Snow White thing is a mess. The Academy Award winner her had her fans had a winner had fans speculating how she really felt about the Snow White star after reposting a quote on her Instagram feed Tuesday that read, narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged. The since deleted upload was a direct quote by the Jonah Platt, the son of Snow White producer Mark Platt, slamming Zegler's narcissism to post the quote of the guy who's yeah, that's pretty damning. Dubose, 34, quickly took down the post and took to her Instagram stories to express her regret. I post quotes all the time and thought this one was meaningful. Well, you're in the movie with the person they're talking about. Of course, we'll fully cop to the fact that I did not do any research on where this quote came from, nor did I know the connection until it was pointed out to me. She wrote Tuesday evening, notably without offering an apology to Zegler23 that is I I, I. What's she supposed to say? You know, like I I'm. I'm with her. This is your way out. I I'm with you. Ariana debose Dubois I think it's the Bows. Handle this exactly how I would have Oops. Oh you're talking about her. Really? She's in the news. Oh. This quote is from the son of the producer who hates her. Who. This guy also hates her. Oh. And I was in a movie with her. Really? Oh. Didn't even see it. Ah, my bad. Okay. My bad. I. She wrote, I have no intention of inserting myself into a news cycle. She continued. This is not the first time I've posted about dealing with narcissism. Probably won't be the last. But next time I'll be sure to clarify its origins first. I. Yeah. So she's. This girl is tough to. Zegler's tough to work with. That's what we can take away. That is my opinion, based on everything that we're seeing, that this person is in love with themselves and doesn't really get it. And maybe she doesn't have to because she's in the biggest. She was in west side Story and Snow White, okay? Those are two major vehicles where she got paid tons and tons of money. So everyone's going to agree with her to her face so they can keep making money off her. Well, Pop Culture Thursday, back next week. Boom.
