will you go quietly?
Kinsey Schofield
Certainly.
Rob Shooter
Very quietly. So she once said back in like 2009. Welcome, everyone, to the Nerves inaugural Met Gala livestream. We have some of your favorite troublemakers in house ready to join. Before we get to them, I wanted to make sure you could see our other attendees in effigy. Over to my left, we have one Brian Noem, who is in competition with the lady behind my right shoulder, Lauren Sanchez. For most bodacious rack of the year. We've got Anna in effigy. We've got our Vera Wang skeleton. We've got our Ryan Reynolds, what do you call? Fire extinguisher. Which is apt because Blake just settled, just came in right before we went to air. Lena's back there behind Brian. Don't miss her. She's wearing her finest tent. We've got some funeral reads, some cocktails, some issues of Vogue in a coffin. And a little surprise for Timothy Shyamalan. Ding dong, we know the Kardashians are there. He is yet to be seen. He may be inside. And over to my right are our most special guests and our most special sub Gala. This is our pet Gala. If we could cut over to the pet Gala, Teddy and Trouble, his little brother, Trouble. They're in one of three bespoke looks this evening. I don't know if we can get closer, but they're wearing. Could somebody actually hand me a dog? I can't move. Oh, this is Maureen Keen. Of Keen's canines. If you are in the gorgeous Maureen, if you happen to be on the south shore of Long island and you need a dog trainer, I can speak from experience. She's the best. This is trouble. In his tax the rich AOC bespoke outfit. He's so happy. Teddy's in the matching one as well. And we will be showing you their very special wee wee pads, which have some of our favorite Vogue covers on them. As you know, we, we pads have attractants. So somebody's getting it tonight in the face. It might be Oprah. Just saying. If I may introduce our esteemed panel. Tim. Tim McKay, the celebrity makeup artist joins us this evening. Kinsey Schofield of Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered is in New York City just for us. And Rob Shooter, our newly minted bestselling author is here. And I said to him, rob, how many exclusives have you broken since you got the green room? He was like, three. Here we go, everyone. So we are going to. We will be taking looks at who is coming in and who. Who is now inside. We've been like collecting them since about 6 o'. Clock. But first I wanted to show a couple of Instagram reels from Serena Williams, who is there this evening. Her sister Venus is among the co chairs. Serena, as we know, see, I think as important as who is there, and it's not very many a listers is who is not there and who is not there is one Meghan Markle, who we all know the reported alleged deal is she thought up until about five minutes ago that that that invite was landing in her inbox any freaking minute. Not so. Serena, I think, is shiving our. Our pal Megan. I think Serena is like, realizes this is a liability. She took to Instagram to display her Mother's Day as ever merch by opening a box of chocolates. And the pieces were scattered everywhere. Let's take a look. Let's take a look. Let's take a look. Here we go. Okay, y'.
Kinsey Schofield
All.
Rob Shooter
So I just got this in the mail from my friend Megan. And her penmanship has always been amazing from, like the 100 years I've seemed to have known her.
Maureen Keen
She sent me a beautiful box of
Rob Shooter
chocolates from her brand as ever. You guys should check it out. I debauched it. She's like, so classy and I'm just
Maureen Keen
like, look at this.
Rob Shooter
This is nuts. Anyway, the chocolate was beautiful and it was delicious. I don't like chocolate.
Kinsey Schofield
Okay,
Rob Shooter
well, that is savage. I think that is so that is mean, mean, mean. We love it, though. She deserves it.
Tim McKay
Did that again. She could have refilmed that. You could just close the box. Like, wait. We actually.
Rob Shooter
That was the art. Direct the chocolate. You know, there are such things as, like, food stylists. It's a career.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh.
Tim McKay
I mean, it's a box of chocolates. You can literally just, like. It's not like you have to really dress them up.
Maureen Keen
That's so savage. It's not live. You're right. It's a video. If I sent a friend of mine a book, a celebrity, and make a video of it, and the book arrived all tatty and scratched and ripped. Don't post it. It doesn't help me. That is really sad. And Serena knows better. She's been in this business long enough to know.
Rob Shooter
Serena's been in this business so long. One other cut. One other savage. Just shiv Serena out with the Martianess of Bath. Emma Thin, who is actually has made history as the first black Marchioness of Bath. And she is a star of the most recent reboot of Ladies of London, which just wrapped up and was highly enjoyable. Let's take a look at them out together. Serena, Venus, and Emma. And again, this, to me, seems as if. I don't know if we have it ready to roll. But regardless, it does seem like. Here we go. We're seeing it now. It seems like a real. Like an. Like a dagger aimed at Meghan Markle's. Like, you know, Meghan's looking at that and thinking, that should be me. That should be me.
Kinsey Schofield
Emma has a life, a huge, very successful lifestyle brand. But the difference between Emma and Meghan is Emma wants to celebrate history and tradition, and that's the ultimate objective for her. Where Meghan's is purely commercial. But they did have a relation. They've had a relationship for years. I didn't know that Emma actually allowed them to podcast at her estate about a year ago. Zaria, Serena, and Venus. So they. They do have a genuine friendship. But it is. I mean, I've heard more enthusiasm at a funeral than the chocolate video. I completely agree that. That something's up.
Tim McKay
Why do you want to go anywhere with Meghan Markle? I feel like at this point, the story is just gonna be about her, and everything will be about her, and it won't be great. So I feel like you kind of want to stay away from her.
Rob Shooter
I have to say. I have to say there was a report in the New York Post today that there have been agitators at the Metropolitan Museum of Art leaving Poland Spring. Water bottles filled with urine all over the place. And it's a reference to Jeff Bezos and the draconian, just completely inhuman conditions that Amazon employees are subject to in those warehouses. We're gonna play something a little later in the show that you won't even believe. It shocked me. But before we get to our first look of the evening, our very first look is gonna be amazing. I just want. Everyone has their cocktails. Marlena did a Met Gala drink menu for the Nerve Kinsey. When Marlena came up with this one, she said, do you know what this means? And I said, I do. And I said, but let's keep it a secret and see if Kinsey knows. Cause I think last time we introduced you to felching.
Kinsey Schofield
No, I still don't know what that is.
Rob Shooter
It was teabagging.
Maureen Keen
Tea bagging.
Rob Shooter
Teabagging introduced Kinsey to teabagging.
Kinsey Schofield
You don't want to know what belching is, though.
Tim McKay
No, no, no, no, no.
Rob Shooter
Oh, Dirty Sanchez. Have you heard this?
Kinsey Schofield
Is it a poop mustache?
Maureen Keen
Yeah, Rob, you're pretty close. I. I've heard this, and I'm glad I did not order that drink tonight with cocktail menu. I stayed away from that.
Rob Shooter
It is a sexual practice that could result in fecal matter. Something like that. We thought it was apt for what I think is the. The Met Gala of the end times, bro. Jeff and Lauren Sanchez Bezos, otherwise known as Amazon Prime Whole Food. The Met Gala brought to you by Amazon Prime Whole Foods. A Dirty Sanchez vodka cream and a smear of chocolate liqueur that will land perfectly on the lips best served cold. Truly harness the robust flavor for Lauren. In honor of the nominal head of Vogue, that trip, Chloe Mal, who is behind me. She is a doll. I don't know if you can fully see her. We'll get her in here. She's wearing cerulean blue, and she's got a terrible wig on. It's amazing. Chloe Malbec. Very dry wine with one flavor. Its curator describes this beverage as, quote, fun and enjoys consuming in high volume during a very cold winter. And last but not least, in honor of Brian Noem. If the Met won't invite him, the Nerve will. He's over there behind Rob. The nomenclature Cristal Champagne. As we know, his name in the bimbofication scene is Crystal. It pairs well with a Slippery Nipple. Marlita couldn't love you more. And if I may pass our stirrers for each of our cocktail drinks we've got, you can choose among Anna Wintour, Ryan Reynolds. The psycho arsonist, Stedman Graham. Teddy's hot on the trail over there, Timothy Shyamalan. Ding Dong. He's coming in for it, whether he's there or not. And of course, I think I said Anna, so I'm going. I will choose. How could I go with anyone but Stedman Graham? Him.
Tim McKay
I want to go with the psychopath that is Ryan Reynolds.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, wow.
Rob Shooter
Bold choice.
Tim McKay
Yeah, heat up my drink a little bit.
Kinsey Schofield
I'm going to go with Timothy because I still have a crush on him even though Maureen hates him.
Maureen Keen
Good for you.
Rob Shooter
Oh, I love it, Fred. Okay. Okay, let's take a look at the lady herself. Anna Wintour entering the Met Ball. She is wearing Chanel. I don't know if any of you guys had the chance to see. Here we go.
Tim McKay
Beautiful.
Rob Shooter
You know, I would never say I think she looks beautiful. I think she looks almost like a pelican. Her inner meanness just sort of. See, it's a beautiful look. Like, from the neck down, it's a beautiful look.
Tim McKay
Disney villain. Disney villain vibes is what she was giving. A beautiful Disney villain.
Rob Shooter
Yeah.
Maureen Keen
She pulls it off just so that people listening, watching, know those sunglasses are prescription. Anna can't see, and she doesn't like regular glasses. She doesn't think they're chic, and so that's why she wears the sunglasses. So they're prescription. I was at the theater once, and Anna was sitting. Are behind me. Thank you. And I know. And as the lights went down, the sunglasses went on. She couldn't see the play unless she's wearing those sunglasses. So at dinner tonight at that Met Ball, she'll have those glasses on.
Rob Shooter
Do you think she's heard of transitions, Right.
Maureen Keen
For laser. Laser surgery. Right, right.
Rob Shooter
Black glasses.
Tim McKay
Oh, you want to put blacks on the glasses on.
Maureen Keen
There's. And she arrived with her daughter, Bea. Bea's awesome. Now Bea is in musical theater. That's why we see so many Broadway people there, and that's why Ann goes to the shows.
Rob Shooter
Now, have any of you had the chance to see the Devil Wears Prada, too?
Tim McKay
I saw it.
Rob Shooter
And you saw.
Maureen Keen
Did see it.
Rob Shooter
Insie.
Tim McKay
No.
Rob Shooter
Tim, what did you think?
Tim McKay
I think it was. Thank you for asking.
Maureen Keen
It was.
Tim McKay
Oh, my God. No, it was just. I wanted to love it so badly. I was a huge fan of the first one, which is, you know, a story of a girl that, like, gets sucked up into this lifestyle that she's not used to, and then she has to find herself. Whatever. This story was literally about whether or not Miranda Priestley should, like, retire or not. Like, if she should. Like, I'm like, you're 80 years old, so it's not the end of the world if you retire. Like, they were making it like it was make or break everyone's life. And then, like, the one threat of the movie, which was maybe everyone getting layoffs, that never. That kind of just disappeared, that kind of just went away because Lucy Liu saved the day. So, I don't know. It is nothing, really.
Maureen Keen
Rob, it was really fun to revisit these characters. I love Miranda Priestley. I like Adrian. I just wanted to revisit the characters. It reminded me of the Sex and the City movies, which were not very good, but we still watch them, and I think, yeah, it's comforting to see them. The fashion's extraordinary. Meryl.
Rob Shooter
Bored.
Tim McKay
I got so bored.
Maureen Keen
I was distracted by the music and the fashion. And what's interesting about it, though, is they wouldn't let critics see it.
Rob Shooter
Blocked from seeing it.
Maureen Keen
And so it was all influencers. So at that big premiere they did at Lincoln center, it was just influencers. That's all they wanted. They did not want critics. That's always a bad sign.
Tim McKay
I'm not surprised, though, because a lot of premieres are doing that. I went to the premiere for Dexter, that new Dexter show, when it came out, and it was all just.
Maureen Keen
They want just social media flooded with gorgeous pictures and gorgeous video. You don't want somebody standing there asking, you know, obnoxious questions like, I would. And so they just want just gorgeous. And then by the time the reviews come out, four or five days later, everyone is so overwhelmed. If these beautiful photographs and beautiful videos. It's actually a really smart strategy. If ever we have a red carpet here at the Nerve. I think we should have a lot of influence. Only influencers, no critics.
Kinsey Schofield
Wait, can I have one of your olives?
Rob Shooter
Of course you can. Of course you can.
Kinsey Schofield
It's killing me. I want so bad.
Rob Shooter
I will take it from there. We'll have a little pizza party at the end of this evening off camera. You know, our pens are Ozempic. They are epic needles. I. You know, I actually. I'll talk about it on a later nerve. I actually surprised myself. I quite liked it. I was really surprised by it.
Maureen Keen
It was beguiled by it. Yes, she was pretty.
Rob Shooter
And Justin Theroux is basically playing a Jeff Bezos character. Lucy Liu is like Mackenzie Bezos, and Emily Blunt is like a Lauren Sanchez, but, like, higher class, more elevated.
Maureen Keen
It's so interesting that they snuck Jeff Bezos in it was sort of undercut Anna because it really is quite me that the Jeff Bezos part of the story is really accurate. And so I thought it was fun. They snuck him in. And it was interesting that Anna's cameo didn't make it. She filmed a cameo and they. Yeah. Didn't make it.
Rob Shooter
You know, that. Why, That's.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Rob Shooter
I didn't hear about Sydney Sweeney, but there are so many weird cameos in the movie. Like Kara Swisher. Swisher in a movie about high fashion. Stop be fouling my. I feel like everywhere I go, I see her face go away. Tina Brown has a cameo. Jenna Bush Hager. Yeah. Same thing. Like, give me somebody. Elevate me a Diane Sawyer. Do you know what I'm saying?
Tim McKay
I love Miranda's assistant, whoever played her assistant, Amari. I thought she was hilarious. She actually kept me laughing.
Maureen Keen
I understand why the critics hate it. I understand why the Rotten Tomatoes are terrible. But I sort of sat there with a bucket of popcorn for two hours on a rainy day. It was my vibe. I was in a good mood for it.
Tim McKay
I liked it a bit. I just wish it ended a little.
Rob Shooter
Yeah.
Maureen Keen
If you're looking for a great movie, this is not the movie. But it's funny.
Rob Shooter
It's very enjoyable. But, you know, it's also very interesting in terms of who's not there. Meryl Streep. Not there. She posed on a cover for Vogue, a dedicated cover for Devil Wears Prada. And Anna wanted her there, and Meryl said no, you're reporting also. Oh, wait a minute. Jeff Bezos did not walk the red carpet.
Maureen Keen
That's big.
Rob Shooter
Which is huge. There was a report you had that he was having second thoughts about this whole thing.
Maureen Keen
They're stunned by this backlash. It just shows you how tone deaf they are. You. You'd think that after shooting Gayle King to space in a rocket, they might learn their lesson.
Rob Shooter
They are in the presence of an astronaut right here. Careful.
Maureen Keen
Hey, Mike. A friend of mine, a really cheeky friend of mine from Page Six, saw Gail at an event, and it was when the recent shuttle had taken off. What was the name?
Rob Shooter
Artemis 2.
Maureen Keen
Yes. And she asked Gale a question. If she had any advice for the astronaut.
Rob Shooter
No.
Maureen Keen
Gail, to her credit, did laugh. I gotta give it that. She did chuckle. But yeah. So I don't know. It's. It's. It's. Jeff Bezos is fascinating that he's not. He's not there, though, because he's paying for this. He's buying all that lobster and he's paying for all the villains.
Rob Shooter
The report I read in the New
Maureen Keen
York post, I heard 15. They posted 15 million. 10. 15. 10 to 15 million. It's unclear if he's even there. I would guess he went through the side door. We'll find out later. But Lauren. Lauren was going to. So there was talk about should they go and there should be talk about that. After everything that's happened in the backlash, should they be there and then they just can't happen. There's no way she was not going to go. But Jeff's interesting. He's feeling it.
Rob Shooter
This is very interesting. Go ahead, Katie.
Kinsey Schofield
It reminds me of Harry and Meghan, where he's sacrificing certain things for her wants and her needs. This is about her ego. I really don't think it's about his ego. I mean, he does have a ME haircut.
Rob Shooter
He's not high fashion at all.
Kinsey Schofield
I really don't. But this is. She's worked her way into this space where she would have never been allowed before as a KTLA news anchor.
Rob Shooter
Never.
Maureen Keen
The problem is with it, though, and we've all had this. Maybe not on the level of Lauren Sanchez, but when I've pushed myself into rooms or shows that don't want me, they always resist. So tonight will be interesting. There was a press conference this afternoon, and Lauren looked miserable. Anna looked. They looked miserable.
Rob Shooter
They both looked miserable.
Maureen Keen
They looked miserable. She looked miserable. I've been to the Met Ball twice, and it was not that much fun. The red carpet was delicious. Walking up the stairs was so much fun. But once you get in there, it's a bunch of mean people who are really uncomfortable. They're not wearing comfortable fashion. They're in high heels. There's nothing to eat. And so Lauren, if Jeff's not there, she's gonna just be standing there. Maybe Kris Jenner will help her out.
Tim McKay
And are there allowed photographs inside?
Maureen Keen
Technically not.
Tim McKay
So then they definitely don't want to be there. My photograph taken outside, why would I want to go inside?
Maureen Keen
I saw a lot of celebrities walk in and walk out the back. Like, they take the red car really straight out.
Tim McKay
I'm not surprised.
Rob Shooter
Really.
Maureen Keen
There's a lot of empty seats.
Kinsey Schofield
Well, they take it to the bathroom for their selfies.
Maureen Keen
They do themselves. Remember that really chic club in Chelsea? What was it, Bungalow 8?
Rob Shooter
Yes.
Maureen Keen
And you used to have to fight to get into it. And then when you got in, there was two people standing there. It was like, empty. There's more people in this studio. It Was empty. That's a little bit like the Met Ball. Once you get up that staircase, it's a little bit. And the museum's massive. Like the Temple of Dandor can fit a lot of people. So there's a lot of room there. I had lots of empty seats around me.
Rob Shooter
Well, they're saying this year they struggle to sell. There's still empty seats that they could not sell.
Maureen Keen
These tickets.
Rob Shooter
Once upon a time, you had to not only it wasn't enough. If whether a company or an individual had the 150,000 to the 350,000 to buy a ticket or a table, you still had to have Anna's approvals to get to purchase a table. Every look across Anna's desk. And I do think, you know, there was. There were reports that Lauren was going to defy that and not allow Anna to yay or nay her look. But when I saw how miserable Lauren looked, because you know what she was wearing? It was like a vintage Galliano up to here, like. Like Anna. And Anna was like, we're gonna get a minimized bra for you. Drop it. She looked miserable. Like she was restrained in like a straight jacket.
Maureen Keen
You might have read it. Cause I just posted it on my car drive here.
Rob Shooter
She did.
Maureen Keen
But Chloe, the new editor, had to get her outfit approved by Anna.
Kinsey Schofield
I love it.
Rob Shooter
And let's look at Chloe because I think, I think that Anna is savaging this woman. Okay.
Tim McKay
Oh, let's pair it with a red lip.
Maureen Keen
And it's that.
Rob Shooter
Oh, no. But she's adjusting. Okay. May I say yes? If we. If I had known what she was going to wear. Anna is really shoving suspense. Because you know what that looks like? That looks like. I think Vera Wang did this for Michelle Williams. The year that Heath Ledger was up for the Oscar for Broke Back. And it was a stunning Oscar gown. It was unusual in that. It was this like, unusual yellow mustard.
Maureen Keen
Like mustardy mustardy.
Rob Shooter
And Michelle also, I believe, did a red lip with that. It was a very bold fashion forward look for the red carpet and for the Oscars, which back then was very ball gowny. I think that Anna knew exactly what she was doing with that.
Maureen Keen
Anna, Anna, Anna. And can you imagine? You take over Vogue and my first interview, My first cover has to be Anna. Like Anna and Meryl. Like she's a young cute person who wants to put her own stamp on the magazine. My first cover has to be my old boss. She ain't going.
Rob Shooter
She looks so matronly. She looks so matronly.
Tim McKay
She looks like a teemu Belle from Disney. Belle from Beauty and the Beast. It's like she put on a really cheap bell costume.
Rob Shooter
And behind us, in case you don't know this reference, this is a joint interview that Anna and Chloe did with the New York Times style section upon Chloe's ascension to the role of what Anna had done. And Anna is doing. I mean, she is creating her. Turning away, smirking, laughing at what Chloe said, which was like something serious. Like, this is my vision for the magazine.
Kinsey Schofield
And I was like, cast space.
Rob Shooter
It's already up for a vote for a nerve award. 2026. Let's take a look at the star. One of the stars of the Devil wears Prada 1 and 2, Anne Hathaway. Anne is wearing Michael Kors. I think this look is maybe going to be a bit divisive. It's graphic. It's black and white. The theme is generally the body. I love it. What do we like this?
Maureen Keen
Love it. I think it's so bold and so. I love the hair pulled back like that. I think she looks terrific. My only worry with Anne is that not so long ago, we were all sick of her and she was so overexposed that she became, like, the most hated actress in Hollywood. And I feel she's getting a little close to that again.
Rob Shooter
Doesn't she have, like, five movies out there?
Maureen Keen
Five movies. And this is this endless promotion for the Devil Wears Prada. It's enough. I've got it.
Tim McKay
I feel in the Devil Wears Prada again, I know you loved it, but I thought she was a little bit like sheets or bagels.
Maureen Keen
I don't know exactly what she wants, and I loved her for it. I like that dress, though. I think that's a really beautiful dress. I think the print in it is beautiful. I think she carries it really well.
Tim McKay
What do you think?
Rob Shooter
I think she. It's not. It's nothing I pursues, but she really does pull it off. And it is an edgy look that also manages to be classy, which is in very short supply on this red carpet. When we get to some of the other freak shows. Who rolled up Luke Evans in custom Paloma, Spain, with Christian Louboutin shoes. We're going to take a look at him. And I also want to talk a little bit about Diddy. Who's not there?
Kinsey Schofield
Where's Diddy?
Rob Shooter
Oh, okay. Okay.
Maureen Keen
Village People.
Rob Shooter
Speaking of beauty, this was the first guy I saw rural. The first person I saw. The red carpet this evening or the white carpet? The green. Like, I love how this backdrop, this backdrop Is lush and gorgeous, but it's sort of like. It's very nature themed. And then you've got this guy who looks to me it's like ymca. I'm a sex worker. I'm a hustler at a leather. What was that Al Pacino movie? Oh, it was cool. Leather movie. What was it called?
Maureen Keen
Flirt. What was it? It was one wor. Cruise.
Rob Shooter
It was cruising or cruising or something. It was. It was about, like, gay male sex workers. That's that look. That's what's really going on at the Met.
Kinsey Schofield
Gal nephews that are watching.
Tim McKay
This is an adult show.
Maureen Keen
I saw him a couple of days ago. He must live by me. I saw him walking down the west side Highway. He's a very handsome man. Even on a Sunday afternoon with no hair and makeup or leather, he's still a very handsome man. But I think he looks like Liberace's chauffeur. Don't you think he looks like. Like he could drive Liberace around with the hat and the leather pants. And once again, though, he's on Broadway in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. So that's a bee. Invite Anna's daughter Bea involved in theater.
Rob Shooter
Oh, I thought you said B list.
Maureen Keen
Maybe that too. But when you see a theater person on that carpet, Bea put them on the list. Which is why Serena had the power to get Megan on the list. She did have that power. If Serena said, maureen, if I was invited, I would have the power to say, you've got to invite my mate, Maureen. You'd be there with me.
Rob Shooter
Oh, I love you. I would happily walk up that. That green carpet, whatever, and then sneak out the back. Me too.
Maureen Keen
But at the point, you do have the power. You can get your friends in. Lauren Sanchez can get anyone she wants in tonight. The event.
Rob Shooter
Very true. That guy, though. It looks like rough trade all the way to me. I kind of dig it.
Maureen Keen
It's not a digger.
Rob Shooter
It is how ridiculous this event has become.
Tim McKay
What is it on theme, though? Because it's bodies is the theme, I think.
Rob Shooter
Right? There's never a theme too hard.
Maureen Keen
I went with Jennifer Lopez one year, just bragging here, and I said to Jennifer, like, in the car, I was like, do you know what the theme is? She said, I'm wearing an. Like, I think she wore an orange dress. She's like, the theme is orange dress. Whatever you want to wear, you make the theme fit. They don't give a damn about the theme. They just wear whatever they want.
Rob Shooter
Well, when we get to Lena Dunham's Look, I mean, here in effigy at the Nerve. She is wearing her best orange tent. And when we were making these props come together, I said to Marlena, I want this thing to almost be like the kind of orange like. Like emergency crew side of the road. There's been a five car pile up. Orange. That's what I want to see. Because she is a cultural emergency and she's currently befouling the Met gala.
Tim McKay
Do you know what?
Maureen Keen
Can I just say one quick thing about that? I saw her on Saturday at a little diner in Chelsea.
Rob Shooter
You did.
Maureen Keen
You did say good luck with the book.
Rob Shooter
Leah said that to you?
Maureen Keen
So now I love her. She knew me. I was. And I saw somebody else, but she said, good luck with the books.
Rob Shooter
I think Lena watches the nerve.
Maureen Keen
Where else do I. I don't do anywhere else, Maureen. I've never cheat on you. All those are the shows.
Rob Shooter
I've seen you. Illusion.
Maureen Keen
Illusion.
Rob Shooter
Listen, listen. I love you. I want to let you fly. Okay. I never want to meet you.
Maureen Keen
Never leaving the neck. Never leave it.
Kinsey Schofield
Just look it up. It's costume art is the technically the
Rob Shooter
theme, which means nothing. What does that mean? Anything? That's Costume Institute. Yes. Marlena's in my ear. She goes, do you want to see Lena?
Kinsey Schofield
We do.
Rob Shooter
It's like, miss, let's do it.
Kinsey Schofield
Costume only. That's not a physical.
Rob Shooter
Here she comes. Brace yourselves out there. Oh, oh.
Tim McKay
Like showgirl.
Maureen Keen
It's cruel, though, because she has no neck in it. Like you. You work with the body of your muse, of your actress, of your star.
Rob Shooter
Oh, look at those tattoos.
Maureen Keen
It's not flattering. And it could be flattering. We're not saying everybody has to be a size 0 or 2, but you just work with what you've got. And I think that's such a mean look. Whoever put her in that dress doesn't care about women.
Tim McKay
I'm never a fan of dresses that cover up. Like the whole.
Maureen Keen
Nicole couldn't pull off that dress and she's got a neck like of a giraffe.
Rob Shooter
Like it's just like.
Maureen Keen
It's just gonna make you look like this.
Rob Shooter
Do you know what that designer is doing is Marlena, if you could tell me the designer. I had it earlier. It's almost like he's like, you know what I'd really love to do, Lena? I'd love to get all those, like, feathers just to cover your face. That's what I'd love to do. It's Valentino bruises.
Kinsey Schofield
Valentino. Not the bruises all over her legs.
Rob Shooter
She also said, so when she was on the red carpet, she gave an interview and it was peak. Lena, I'm sorry, Rob, just disavow yourself. This is all me, Lena. Love Rob. Love Rob. He's a lovely guy. She said, you know, my favorite thing to do when I was a small child, like 8 years old, was go to the met every Sunday. Okay, sure. Like every eight year old. I. And you know what my favorite room was? It was like the Renaissance room. High art of the Renaissance. Okay, sure. And then she named some painter I've never heard of that doesn't mean anything. And she said, I sent this as the reference to the designer at Valentino. And he said to me, you know what? I'm going to make you look like blood splatter. I could not make it up. And she told this story as if she's very proud of it. And I'm listening to this and I'm thinking to myself, that designer is fucking with her. Like so much of high fashion, he's fucking with her.
Maureen Keen
A couple of outs. If your designer tells you they're gonna make you look like blood splatter, that's when you stop that relationship. Like, you don't go. You don't go to the next level. Like, stop.
Kinsey Schofield
I want you to look like an episode of Dateline.
Tim McKay
Yeah.
Rob Shooter
Would you like to look like an actor who's been thrown ostensibly off a rooftop on an episode of Law and svu? Let's go for that.
Maureen Keen
After the splash, it's amazing that they keep going through it and they do look in a mirror before they leave their hotel. Like, they do look and they've been. And this isn't something that they just saw that day. This has gone through fittings. They've seen this dress three or four times and nobody along the way. Can you imagine if somebody did that to our Maureen? If Maureen was going to go somewhere really fancy and some designer said, we'll send you. We. One of us would say, Maureen.
Tim McKay
Well, you said what she almost wore.
Rob Shooter
Tim, Kids, Tim, kids.
Tim McKay
I think you look incredible.
Rob Shooter
Thank you. You're very sweet. Tim did the makeup. Tim did the.
Maureen Keen
I like the dots. Did you take them off your J or Maureen's dress?
Tim McKay
A little bit of both. I actually pop them off.
Maureen Keen
There's seven chances.
Rob Shooter
It's very 70s disco queen that we're going for tonight. And. No, but the thing about that, Rob, exactly what I was thinking is, like, these people are surrounded by teams who just say, yes, yes, you look great, you look beautiful, and you can't Those are not people clearly Lena can trust because somebody should have grabbed her by a very somebody part that you can get purchase on and said, listen, sister, this is not the look, and we don't want to see those tattoos. Those tattoos are hideous. Yeah. As I've said on the Nerve, Ben Affleck wins for best best worst male celeb tattoo. And Lena wins for female. And here comes our gorgeous Maureen, mistress of the Pet Gala. Please come in, Maureen. Come all the way in so everyone can see you. Here she is. Come. Come a little closer. There's Maureen. This is. A lot of you have been asking about the puppy. The puppy's doing very, very well. Teddy and trouble are here now. They are wearing. This is. Can I grab these from you? This is their bespoke again, made by Sarah Mullins Design out of Brooklyn. You can find Sarah Mullins on Instagram. She made all three of these costumes for the puppers. This is the Rihanna Pope look with the beast again. These will go in the.
Maureen Keen
The.
Rob Shooter
The nerve wing at the Smithsonian someday. Teddy, can I get that for you? Look at these guys. You guys look incredible. The pet gala shines. Thank you, Lori. Thank you so much. And they are back in their crates with their kiwi pads. I need to show Chloe. Should I just grab her before we get to. Okay, Chloe's. Chloe's struggling as usual. Here's Chloe. We gotta get that hair out of her face, Kim.
Tim McKay
Yeah, there we go.
Rob Shooter
Help me out. Okay. And she's in the cerulean blue.
Kinsey Schofield
We're on so many.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, it's. And her bad shoes. Her bad shoes. Yeah. So here she is.
Maureen Keen
Content director. Content, editorial, beef.
Rob Shooter
Content. Whatever. She's. She can't even stand up straight.
Maureen Keen
You know who mama is.
Kinsey Schofield
Yes.
Rob Shooter
Candice Bergen, who also played a top editor at Vogue on Sex in the City. Another one who's not there tonight. Sarah Jessica Parker. What do we make of this?
Maureen Keen
Is she there? Is mommy there when you take your bath?
Rob Shooter
It's like 80. She's over it, you know, but she
Maureen Keen
does live on Central Park. It's only a hopper skip and a job.
Rob Shooter
Wouldn't you prefer to be in your Central park looking at the Jackie cat?
Maureen Keen
That's right. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. You're right, though, that a lot of people not there. A lot of. A lot of surprising names not there.
Rob Shooter
Yes. And they're saying it's. It's a. It's a rebuke against Jeff Bezos and the billionaire class. But I also think there was a time when Anna Wintour wielded so much power, she could be hosting Satan himself. He would show up.
Maureen Keen
I've got to tell you, in the last five, 10 years, people would have killed to get on Vogue magazine. It was a celebrity dream. It was every young girl's dream. It doesn't mean much anymore. And I think now with the digital covers, it means even less. And so for the AI, we can
Rob Shooter
be on the cloud if you really want to.
Maureen Keen
And so I think now, if you're an advertiser, if you're a brand and you've got half a million dollars to spend, I think you're better off giving that money to an Instagram or a social media person. And you're probably gonna get more bang for your book. This is an absolute testament to how Anna's power is reduced. And it's never gonna get back.
Rob Shooter
And she'll never get it back. We're going to read a little bit from the live chat. The troublemakers in the live chat. Maureen. Maureen, head of the Peck gala. Over here. We've got a troublemaker saying that you do not miss an arm day at the gym. That's right. Is very clear. Maureen is like. She's incredible. The puppies are better dressed than Rihanna. Thank you. I agree. The tiny popes, they're loving the dogs. The gigolo Luke. The. Chloe is killing me that you guys love the props. Thank you. We had so much fun putting them together. We are. SJP got the note. She stayed away. We don't know.
Maureen Keen
You know, Cohen's never been invited. He only goes as her plus one.
Rob Shooter
That is correct. Let's talk about that. A. Let's talk about Andy being Persona non grata in what once was the higher strata of the New York social scene. Yeah.
Maureen Keen
He ran it with Kelly Ripa and with Sarah Jessica and all those friends of his, those high profile friends. When they're not there, he's not invited.
Kinsey Schofield
I love that I should not say that.
Rob Shooter
Can see we like it when you say things.
Kinsey Schofield
I'm going to be with some of
Rob Shooter
his employees later, so he probably said worse after this. Hello.
Tim McKay
Go to the club.
Rob Shooter
What are you doing?
Kinsey Schofield
I'm going to Charleston.
Rob Shooter
Okay, okay. All right. Just don't do any drugs, Kenzie. Not that you would. Okay, okay, let's take a look. We've got a twofer. We've got Nicole Kidman wearing Chanel, and she has dragged her daughter, who is not a model. Okay? The fashion industry can push this girl on us all. We want Nicole and Chanel looking stunning. I want to.
Maureen Keen
That's the shot, too. You get to the top of the stairs, you stand in the center, you ask that man to move out of the way behind her, and you take that shot. That's the shot.
Tim McKay
I think her skin looks beautiful. I want to shout out Clay de Peau because she. I'm a national makeup artist for Clay de Po, and she is the new face of the brand. And so. So it's amazing. I'm dying to do her face. If anyone is listening from Shiseido or Clay to poet, Shiseido is the owner, and then Clay de Poe is the Shiseido. She has a. She has CLE on. She's a bunch of cle. Yes, it is like Shiseido's big sister. Rich big sister.
Maureen Keen
Nice. I think she was beautiful then. No. Her daughter's with her Sunday Rose, who's only 17. And the rule of the Met is you have to be 18. So they made a special.
Kinsey Schofield
She looks cute as hell. I love this. This is an outfit that I would wear.
Maureen Keen
I don't know if I'd want to stick my belly out like that.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Rob Shooter
Two does not have a belly at all. This reminds me of a Balenciaga that that Sarah Pigeon, who played Carolyn Bessette, wore fairly recently. But what I note about that look is that it's a lot. There's a lot going on. The earrings are big. It's meant to distract from the face, which is plain. I am sorry. The fashion industry is trying to. She did. Her first cover was Elle Australia. Right. She's not a model.
Maureen Keen
She's not a model. And it's. I think, in the long run, it's cruel when parents do this.
Rob Shooter
Oh, wow.
Maureen Keen
Because they can get them in. But then you've got to deliver. Just this weekend, I went to see Death of a Salesman, and Kelly Ripa's son is in it. And I thought he would be terrible. Joaquin is. Isn't that great? But that's what you have to be. Your parents can get you in, but then you have to deliver. So Nicole clearly got her in, but I don't know if this is going to deliver. Going to the Met is a big thing. Although, you know, I think rules are rules. If the rule is you've got to be 18 just because your mommy is the host of the gala tonight, she's 17, and she shouldn't be there.
Rob Shooter
It just goes to show you, rules for the. Not for me. Why have rules?
Maureen Keen
If that's the case, then Meghan Markle's friends could have got her in.
Rob Shooter
If there's no 100%. Megan, if you're watching, they just hate you. Like, the Nerve was ahead of the curve. Now that everybody in Hollywood and media and fashion, there's like, we hate this. Okay, I need to deliver a word from our our sponsor, Tupes Company. I get pitched a lot of skincare products and honestly, I do turn most of them down. Before agreeing to talk about Tubes and company, I looked closely at their ingredients because I am very particular about what I use on my skin. Tim can tell you, compared with other clean brands that I have tried, the difference with Tupes was obvious. Many formulas are mostly water fillers and unrecognizable additives. Tubes and company is different, using real nourishing ingredients that support the skin. And as you probably know, I do pay close attention to that. So I started with the Glow Serum. Skeptical at first because past serums either did nothing or raised concerns. But I learned most are water based with minimal actives. Tupes, however, uses cold pressed oils and therapeutic essential oils. No fillers, mystery chemicals or hormone disruptors, just ingredients skin recognizes. So if you have struggled with irritation, breakouts or imbalance, it is worth exploring. Sometimes the issue isn't your skin, but what you're putting on it. This shift changes how we should all look at skin care products. If you are ready to simplify your routine and actually feel good about what you're putting on your skin, head to tupes and co.com nerve. They are offering nerve listeners 25% off your first order with code nerve. That's tubesandco.com nerve. Code nerve for 25 off your first order. The dogs are going for their next costume change. They're doing more than any celebrity on that red carpet, I am telling you.
Kinsey Schofield
Can I do some complaining about Amazon for a second?
Rob Shooter
Please do.
Kinsey Schofield
I just opened my email to a notification that my Audible membership has increased from $16 to $20. They just did the same to Amazon Music, increasing the price by like, I don't know, like, I think it was $5. I hate all of these subscription services. Jeff Bezos has enough money. I am canceling all of them. Every time they increase, I'm like, okay, I'll buy a physical book. I don't need the Audible.
Rob Shooter
Well, they gotta pay for this.
Maureen Keen
That's what I'm thinking. They gotta pay for this show.
Tim McKay
We're all gonna get our Billboard Audible
Rob Shooter
subscriptions and our Amazon prime subs.
Maureen Keen
Imagine being married to someone so wealthy, you can say, honey, will you sponsor a ball so that I can go that's like Cinderella, that's important day. Cinderella, princess, throwing a ball. Will you throw? Will you pay for a ball so I can attend? And he said yes.
Rob Shooter
It feels so vulgar to me what you could do with that kind of money. You know, Mackenzie, Scott Bezos gives her money.
Maureen Keen
Why isn't she there?
Rob Shooter
Oh, she's not. Fashion.
Maureen Keen
She's.
Rob Shooter
I don't think she'd be caught dead there. This is not her scene. These are not her people.
Maureen Keen
Fashion. It's like they just finally discovered this. I think Mark Zuckerberg is rumored to be going tonight.
Rob Shooter
He is. And we would love to show you Mark Zuckerberg looking at Lauren Sanchez Bezos's rack at the inauguration. We have that racked up and ready to show. Do you remember that?
Maureen Keen
I do remember it.
Rob Shooter
Stood there and stared like he couldn't. Like he was like a 12 year old.
Maureen Keen
Even as a gay man, though, I've stared at those boobs. I mean, they are something. And she leaves.
Rob Shooter
There you go. God, he's such a loser. The things I've heard about this guy. He's not a good guy, I don't think. I don't think personally if he doesn't
Maureen Keen
care about fashion, which he clearly doesn't, this is just that he wants to be there tonight with these other rich people. Like this billionaire ball.
Rob Shooter
Yes, but to what end? To what end is my question again. Because if Anna's lost all of her power, if this thing is just what it really always has been, an exercise in vanity. I think you too, Rob, have had an exclusive today that they held crisis meetings at Vogue over the backlash that this gala has been.
Maureen Keen
They were stunned by it. They didn't know it was happening. And it was interesting since it started just weeks ago, days ago, Anna's changed her message points. So I know reporters who have bumped into Anna or seen of Anna on red carpets. And when you ask her about the Met, she normally talks about creativity and fashion and art. The message has changed. And now the first thing out of Anna's mouth is how much money this ball brings into the city.
Rob Shooter
So I noticed that. I noticed that today. I know. And I. And I thought of you and I thought, you know what? That's bullshit.
Maureen Keen
You come to New York for the Statue of Liberty. You come to New York State building
Rob Shooter
museums you don't need.
Maureen Keen
New York's going to be fine at her without your little ball. It existed a long time without out this fall.
Rob Shooter
But that's what a copy show. Studio 1A than the Met Gal, by the way, I Just have to interrupt because a troublemaker in the live chat has alerted Marina. Blake Lively is reportedly there. Can we confirm?
Kinsey Schofield
I feel like.
Rob Shooter
Unless that's somebody. Just. Unless Jack Schlossberg's in the chat trying to. With me. You don't think so?
Maureen Keen
It can't be. I was told too that Ryan was the one that made her settle today.
Rob Shooter
She's there. She's there. I looks like a cupcake. Can we get her. Can we get her up at that point, Guys?
Kinsey Schofield
I thought when I heard that they settled today. I was thinking she settled today so that she could go to the Met gala and she wouldn't be the villain anymore. She could have her moment in five seconds. Unrealistic about a lot of other things. Wait, but did you even notice. Notice that my outfit is dedicated to the Nerve. These are nerve dots. See how. Thank you.
Maureen Keen
I don't know what a nerve dot is.
Kinsey Schofield
See, that's the Nerve logo. It's the black and white. But it's the Nerve logo.
Rob Shooter
It's just the mistake saying Blake is there. Oh, there she is. No, there she is. There she is.
Maureen Keen
She's there.
Tim McKay
Literally the least liked woman in.
Maureen Keen
So she. She has been working. She didn't just decide to go tonight. Working on this.
Rob Shooter
For weeks that's doubted. I doubted it because you. It takes weeks and weeks. A team of stylists and makeup. Yeah.
Maureen Keen
So do you. I think she. I think you're right. I think she decided I'm going to settle today. And then I'm going to go to the.
Kinsey Schofield
I'm going to hero. I'm going to be the cute girl at the Met ball. Everything I love. My. My unicorn
Rob Shooter
hasn't learned a thing either. You. You. You're trying to salvage what is left of Vogue and the one storied Met gala. And you allow like Meghan. Okay. Now at this point I will argue for Meghan Markle. Meghan Markle can't be there. But that piece of shit can be there. She tried to destroy a guy's career.
Maureen Keen
Reporters.
Rob Shooter
She's married to a psycho arsonist. Where is he? Where is he? Do we need to break out the fire? Go on, Rob.
Maureen Keen
No. It's shocking to me that she thought Ryan Reynolds thought this would be a good idea for you to go to a billionaires ball tonight after settling a lawsuit. It just makes. And it makes everything that she's saying look trivial. And she knew it. She had some really serious allegations against him. They were thrown out, but she's believe that. And now she's at The Met Ball. This is her comeback.
Tim McKay
Taking it seriously. I don't think she took any of it seriously the whole time. She just wanted to win. Her husband had a big movie coming out. She wanted to have her big moment and it just didn't work out for. For her. And I, I, I don't think she can come back for. I'm very surprised she's here because no one's cheering for her.
Maureen Keen
No, no one's. It's bad look for Anna. She called my office and said, we want to come to the Nerve tonight. I said, please don't like and why is Anna say yes. You can't just rock up once again,
Kinsey Schofield
this is not a this another person that's buying their way into but again
Rob Shooter
can say yes or no no matter who's got how much money.
Maureen Keen
Diner wants her. I wouldn't want to wear very guys
Rob Shooter
wearing possibly find out who would put
Maureen Keen
that dress on her because they've been
Tim McKay
planning it for weeks, then months.
Maureen Keen
Weeks and months.
Rob Shooter
Yeah. So this is. I'm actually shocked.
Maureen Keen
It's the biggest story of the night.
Rob Shooter
I think this is the biggest story of the night.
Maureen Keen
And that's a great headline. The shameless arrival.
Rob Shooter
And not only that, but it's what she's wearing as well. She. She's wearing pastels and innocent, soft.
Maureen Keen
Well, no, that's.
Rob Shooter
That's her Versace wearing Versace.
Maureen Keen
Remember when she told everyone to get pastels and go and see the movie? She's going back. The movie.
Rob Shooter
The movie about domestic violence where you best pastels and go.
Maureen Keen
And that's delusional. She put on her best pastels and went to a ball.
Rob Shooter
And it's very Rihanna coded to me. Remember that year Rihanna went with the huge cape and it was really stunning. She's taking up, like, you know, the millennial phrase, take up space. She's literally taking up so much space, so much real estate with that. It's a kind of territorial pissing. It's like, I'm here, I'm back. Whether you like it or not, I'm back.
Maureen Keen
And I'm the story of the night. And you can go over there and talk about your little movie and you can talk about your little Devil Wears Prada. I'm the star of that. If I was a celebrity tonight, I'd be so pissed.
Kinsey Schofield
This is Meghan Markle.
Maureen Keen
Right.
Tim McKay
A few years ago, though, she was dressed as the Statue of Liberty, kind of. I loved it. No, I thought it was great. That's when Blake Lively was loved by everyone. And I think it was literally. Was that maybe like 20, 20, 20,
Maureen Keen
21 that they've tried to get there pretty much every year for the last five, 10 years and they still can't get. There's one celebrity that Anna has reached out to every single year to try and get there. Who do you think it is? And a relative of hers was on the red carpet. Her mother in law walked this red carpet and it changed her mother in law's life. It was a big moment. Kate Middleton. Oh, they have asked Kate to come to the Met Ball for the last 10 years. Remember when Diana went, I think it was in 1996. And she wore that choker, the pearl choker.
Rob Shooter
Kate's like he was wearing Galliana. It was lip dress. It was scandalous. She was still divorced.
Maureen Keen
And she walked up that step.
Rob Shooter
She removed.
Maureen Keen
Anna would love Kate changed the story. Kate Middleton went tonight. We wouldn't be talking about Jeff Bezos,
Rob Shooter
but Kate Middleton is extreme, extremely shrewd and I read your item about that and I love the reporting because it was that Kate Middleton sees this for what it is. Or Catherine, Princess of Wales is the would have me say and that she will not allow herself to be used.
Maureen Keen
Yeah. Or Diana's memory.
Rob Shooter
Can you imagine a Catherine next juxtaposed with a Blake Lively? Who's trash. Trash. Do you think Ryan or Lena next to Lena Dunham.
Maureen Keen
You think Ryan said, honey, you go by yourself tonight? I don't want to be there.
Rob Shooter
Absolutely.
Maureen Keen
Yeah, I do too.
Rob Shooter
Do you think she's in her stomach inside?
Maureen Keen
No, I don't think he's there. I had reported him today just after the case was settled that he has been pushing her for months, saying, you've lost your career, you've lost your best friends, you might lose your marriage like this.
Rob Shooter
Like my mid global career isn't gonna keep going up if you keep this up.
Tim McKay
Yeah, he doesn't want to be the star anymore of Deadpool. He wants Deadpool to just be a side character because I think he knows that he can't really be the star anymore.
Maureen Keen
He.
Rob Shooter
Someone told him that maybe the damage
Maureen Keen
that she has done and she's there.
Rob Shooter
I'm stunned by herself.
Tim McKay
I'd be sick to my stomach.
Rob Shooter
So let them eat cake. You know, this is to all of us out here, like decent, you know. Okay, let's look at Gayle King, my fellow astronaut.
Maureen Keen
The astronauts there.
Rob Shooter
Yeah. Let's see. Let's see what she's wearing. I think you guys had it up there. Marlena, would you mind reminding me? Gail is In Christian Siriano. I love Christian. She looks great.
Tim McKay
She does. Wow.
Rob Shooter
It's great.
Tim McKay
It's like a trophy.
Rob Shooter
She's. She. Her wig is great. I think that's a new wig. Allegedly reportedly. No, it's a wig.
Maureen Keen
I remember when they first built it in New York to have Covid discovered was the CBS building and they evacuated and Gail sent her assistant in to save the wigs.
Kinsey Schofield
Wait, wait.
Rob Shooter
Say that again. Okay. The day Manhattan shut down, I didn't get the memo. I was walking around downtown like, wow.
Maureen Keen
It's really.
Rob Shooter
I was like, I was going to look at, like, documents in the Harvey Weinstein case. I got a call like, don't bother. You know. Anyway, she said to her assistant to get the wigs. Get the wigs.
Maureen Keen
We didn't know what Covid was Rat in the building. Like a birdie building.
Rob Shooter
We're going into lockdown.
Maureen Keen
But she needs her weight on that copy. No Oprah.
Rob Shooter
Yes. What does that tell us? That Oprah's not there.
Maureen Keen
Nobody's bringing their plus one. I mean that in a generic way before we get a sewage. But there's no plus ones there. There's no Jeff
Tim McKay
reference.
Maureen Keen
It was a lesbian reference. There's no Jeff Bezos. At least on the carpet. There's no Ryan Reynolds. At least on the carpet. There's no Oprah. At least on the carpet. What's going on?
Tim McKay
Are there not a lot of plus ones?
Maureen Keen
They are. Well, did it.
Kinsey Schofield
Wasn't it Vogue?
Rob Shooter
Zoe Kravitz? No.
Maureen Keen
Harry. No Harry Styles.
Rob Shooter
No Harry Styles. And Harry does love a good dress.
Maureen Keen
Loves a good dress.
Rob Shooter
A good dress. Oh, my God. There's a guy in a dress. Oh, my God. Patrick Schwarzenegger. Can we show him? I know I'm going out of order a little bit It. But Patrick Schwarzenegger showed up and he. What he is wearing is insane. It's like. It's a tuxedo top. Look at this. Look at this.
Kinsey Schofield
You look like a Batman villain.
Maureen Keen
Yes.
Rob Shooter
No.
Tim McKay
He needs a top hat and he'd be a great villain.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, my God. Who wanted mustache ride? Not me. I can tell you that much.
Rob Shooter
David Yurman. That's. I think. No, that can't. That's a jeweler. David.
Maureen Keen
I think he must be. He must be. So. I mean, he thought after White Lotus he was a big star. He thought that was going to change his life. And nothing's really happened.
Rob Shooter
No, nothing really has happened. Nothing's really. And so.
Maureen Keen
And.
Rob Shooter
And so we get a desperate move like this. That's why you're going up like that.
Maureen Keen
That's why you show up.
Rob Shooter
Go ahead, Timmy.
Tim McKay
I was gonna say you're just trying to change his image, I think, because I think he's, like, trying to not be like his father, not be too macho. I'm guessing with this outfit, he's trying to look a little bit more fashion, a little more edgy, but interesting.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, it's interesting. You know what? Because that goes to the reporting that you had that Patrick is extremely jealous of Joseph Baena, who is the child that Arnold had with the Mildred Pierce, and he's a bodybuilder now, and he just won a major competition. And Patrick is jealous not that Arnold is spending more time with Joseph, but that Joseph's career is on fire and Patrick's is not. And I think that that look actually is a statement. It's a statement, and it's a. Joseph
Maureen Keen
couldn't pull that off. It's like, I'm not going to go that way.
Tim McKay
He wants to show. He wants to show that he has a fashion side, too. He can be a little. Because I feel like that's what's in. You know, I feel like that kind of less machiso. Machismo, man, is.
Maureen Keen
It's very. Yeah, sort of. What's the. What's the hockey movie? It's very. I'm like, I see it. I see it.
Rob Shooter
Okay, now, before we get to our fa. One of a couple of our favorite Met Gala materials of years past. The dogs are back with their third look with Maureen. This is inspired by Andre Ted's come to me, Andre 3000. The indelible Andre 3000 here. He showed up to the Met with a piano strapped to his back, a red beret and glasses. Can you believe it? Can you believe. Are these guys. Are you incredible?
Kinsey Schofield
My own priestess.
Rob Shooter
You're so incredible, Ted. You can pull off anything. And so can trouble. There he is, his little brother, these two. They're so green. These look gorgeous. You can put them in their. In their pen and hang out. Have a drink with us. Now, before we get to the other things, I just want to note, Timothy may not be there. He's in New York.
Maureen Keen
It's here in New York. We don't know if he's.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, we've seen him rolling around like a filthy hipster on city bikes and what have you. But in our ode to what the Oscars did to Timmy with the butt paddle. So we've got our own prosthetic butt with this, and we have our Timmy Marty supreme paddles. And we're just going to give him a little bum drum over at the Nerve. Timmy, we were giving it to you whether you showed up or not. Well deserved, you asshole. Okay, now we are going to. These are. These are some of fashion's greatest hits. John Galliano, who we believe Lauren Sanchez wore earlier this morning at the press I love the day of the Met gala. They have a press conference to say the Met gala is happening in six hours. We know, we know. Do you think we pulled this together in five minutes? Like Blake Lively would have you believe. No. This is John Galliano, the rant that got him canceled until Anna made it her mission to bring him back. This is what is colloquially known as the I love Hitler rant. Here we go. Are you blonde? Are you blonde with. No, but I love Hitler. People like you would be dead today. Your mothers, your forefathers, would be cancer. Oh, my God. With you?
Maureen Keen
Yeah, with.
Rob Shooter
With all people. You don't like peace? You don't want peace in the world?
Maureen Keen
Not with people like ugly people.
Rob Shooter
Where are you from, people?
Maureen Keen
Where are you from?
Rob Shooter
Y. Tim, it looks like you've never seen that before. Kinsey. Have you ever seen that before? No, I haven't seen it before. Really?
Kinsey Schofield
Was not a positive.
Rob Shooter
Shocked. You both look truly.
Tim McKay
God, I can't believe that. Well, first I didn't recognize him, but. But then I was like, who's this? That's just Rob.
Maureen Keen
That he is being represented tonight at the Met gala tells you everything you need to know about how rotten that business is.
Rob Shooter
The club in our culture, more right. Could not be more right. He. He. He said, oh, I was drunk. You know, in the same way that Mel Gibson was like, oh, my anti Semitic rant and calling a cop sugar tits and telling my girlfriend I was going to. Gonna beat the out of her if she didn't blow me for, you know, like I was drunk. You know the truth comes out when you're drunk.
Maureen Keen
No, they said it. And then Anna. For Anna to decide. She resurrected his career. That's when she still had power. I don't think Anna has that power anymore.
Rob Shooter
Blaine's gonna toss the lighter at the pet gala. Can we retrieve it? The lighter is over at the pet Gallop.
Maureen Keen
Do you know who Anna did try to bring back to and it didn't work? Marchesa Harvey Weinstein's wife, Georgina. Emma. Georgina.
Rob Shooter
Just before we get to Georgina. This is Diptyque. Speaking of the essence of John Galliano. I couldn't make it up. This is. If you want to know what John Galliano Smells like we're going to light it up, you know, we're going to put it next to our fuck around and find out matches and our perv baby oil. In memory of Sean Diddy Combs, who once owned this thing. If we could show the art that Paul from New Zealand made especially for tonight's live stream of Diddy. It's. It's a riff on. On. There was that year he showed up. Do you guys remember this? He showed up with his date. She wasn't famous. And then he. It was a blue carpet, and he lays out on the carpet, and he was like, this is mine.
Maureen Keen
Look at him.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, there we go. Thank you.
Tim McKay
Oh, my God.
Rob Shooter
You're the most baby oil of the Bible he brought into court every day. Sean, if you are watching from federal prison, long may you rot. Long may you rot. Cheers.
Maureen Keen
And Anna has never said a word about that relationship.
Rob Shooter
Do you know, again, you're so right. She never said a word against Sean Cole.
Kinsey Schofield
Never said anything.
Rob Shooter
Oprah and Gail have never said a word.
Kinsey Schofield
Weinstein. Any. Any. Anything.
Rob Shooter
No.
Kinsey Schofield
Never complain. Never explain when it's convenient to you. Do you guys know that my nickname is Diddy?
Rob Shooter
How so?
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah, my. Because my little brother couldn't say Kinsey, so he called me Diddy. And So now I'm like.in public. Does he get just a little Bowie? Just a little Bowie? I don't know.
Rob Shooter
Wow, we're getting a lot of Paul from New Zealand Shears in the live comments. Oh, this is a great comment. Anna was pushing hard for Andre Leon Talley to lose weight, and she fired
Kinsey Schofield
Andre to go to fat camp. Patricia Altschul went with him. She had a intervention, made him go to a fat camp, and Patricia went with him.
Rob Shooter
Why did Pat go with it? Ms. Pat?
Kinsey Schofield
Because he was so devastated, emotionally heartbroken over it, and she wanted him to have support there. So she went and went and stayed at a facility with him while he tried to lose weight because they had a huge intervention and humiliated him over his weight gain.
Rob Shooter
You know, she. She then fired him, and he made so much of what Vogue was, he and Grace Coddington, and then she basically left him to rot in upstate New York. He died alone because he gained weight, because she was just done with him. He had served her purpose.
Maureen Keen
He was always like a big guy, and she. She embraced it. And then when she decided she didn't want that anymore, he had to. He had to lose weight, and he couldn't do it. He told me, may he rest in peace, that as a bow and he couldn't pay his rent. Like, he. He'd spent all that money. He didn't save any money. And so he. He was struggling. He was worried where he was going to live. And as a bone, she threw him the Vogue podcast and she paid him $500 an episode.
Rob Shooter
Oh, my God. She is evil. She is evil.
Maureen Keen
And do you think it's. It's such a good metaphor? Because it's Vogue. It's the emperor's new clothes. She's naked. There's nothing there. Like, finally, when you realize the emperor's naked.
Rob Shooter
Finally.
Maureen Keen
For a decade, she conned me. I thought this was the most glamorous night in New York society. And it's all lies. It's a real horrible cesspool.
Tim McKay
I was surprised that the movie Devil Wears Prada 2 actually showcased that, like, Runway was dying, which is aka Vogue is dying. And they were very honest about it how, like, everything now is. You know, you used to get four weeks in a different country to do a photo shoot. And I know when Kevin Aucoin was doing makeup back in, like, 2000, like, he would get, like, 10K for a job or 20K for a job. That's unheard of now.
Maureen Keen
In the September issue, that documentary that she made 10 years ago, she killed a photo shoot that cost 300,000 on page 52 because she didn't like it.
Rob Shooter
Which they referenced in Devil Wears Prada. They did this one. They. That elevator scene where Irv is like, devil.
Maureen Keen
Worse. Prada. I get. You know, I get your point. I do get it. It's not as good as the first, but I did like about it. It was almost subversive. They had digs. Like, they went after Jeff Bezos.
Rob Shooter
Yeah.
Maureen Keen
They went after the magazine business. This was not a love letter to Vogue.
Rob Shooter
It was not a love.
Maureen Keen
Let's Anna support it. She should have supported. The first one was nice.
Rob Shooter
Not a love letter to the.
Maureen Keen
They clearly hadn't seen it, or else she wouldn't have turned up at the Oscars with Anne Hathaway and presented an award. This is really not a good movie for Anna.
Rob Shooter
But you know what? It goes to show how desperate Anna is that she would beg Meryl Streep to show up that Anne Hathaway is on that red carpet. As discussed, there were many other actresses above Anne Hathaway who were approached to play Andy, and they refused to take the role because they were terrified of Anna. They would get blackballed from a bow cover. They would never go to another fashion show. They would never go to the Met gala. They would never be dressed like the designers fled in the other direction. They couldn't get clothes for the movie.
Maureen Keen
Another turning point, too, was on Anna's campaign against Melania Trump and how that hasn't worked where a first lady 10 years ago needed Vogue.
Rob Shooter
Very true.
Maureen Keen
They really needed it. And now they don't.
Rob Shooter
No, they don't. They absolutely do not.
Kinsey Schofield
Melania does have Jeff Bezos because that's where the. The Millennium movie dropped.
Maureen Keen
Do you think they talked about that, though? If my friend was paying for a ball of a magazine, would you call him if you were Melania and say, what are you doing?
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, no.
Rob Shooter
I think at that level, they all understand it's business. It's not Melania scene. She doesn't want to be in a room with those people. They don't want to be in a room with her. No harm, no foul. Like it's a wash. Let's play, though. Gwyneth Paltrow. No, she's not there either. But several years ago, she gave an interview to an Australian radio show. It's the Kyle and Jackie O Show. And it was after the. It was the punk theme. And she. She spilled real tea. She said she was never going to go again. It was so awful. And again, this is like maybe seven, 10 years ago. So it's been like this forever.
Kinsey Schofield
She's sober.
Rob Shooter
Gwynethus. Yeah.
Kinsey Schofield
Because it's a morning show.
Rob Shooter
I think she was drinking a martini on the show. What? I do think she was. She. She likes a martini. I think she was. I don't know. That's what I heard. Anyway. Anyway, if we have that, I would love to roll that little piece of audio. You want me to be honest? Yeah, it sucks. It seems like the best thing in the world. Like, you always think, oh, my God, this is gonna be so glamorous and amazing, and you're gonna see all these people. And then you. You get there, and it's so hot. It's so crowded. Everyone's pushing you. Kanye west was playing, and he was furious, and he threw his microphone down. It was all drama.
Kinsey Schofield
It's like she's on a carpet.
Maureen Keen
I love. This is the kind of. I love. Like, this is when I can. I've been. I've been. It sucked. It was not a good night. I was so excited. I didn't sleep the night before. I thought I was Cinderella. And you get there, and the carpet is exciting, walking up those stairs. Then you get in, and it sucks. People are pushing and shoving, and there's this really weird arrival line. When you get to the top of the staircase, there's five and you have to shake the hand and you get 20 seconds like in the first ever West Prada where they can't remember. It's like that. It really happens.
Rob Shooter
Oh, that's incredible.
Maureen Keen
Okay, we're gonna perform tonight. So every year Kanye west, the year I was there, I think it was Hugh Jackman that performed the Rumor in Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter.
Kinsey Schofield
Madonna will not go away. So I would not be surprised.
Rob Shooter
That would not surprise.
Kinsey Schofield
Take that old coochie and okay, there
Rob Shooter
are a few more looks we want to get to. We hear you guys in the live chat. You want to see more actual looks. This is one of my favorites. Tom. Tom Ford showed up tonight with Julianne Moore. It's interesting. I've been thinking about him a lot because he's been very, very quiet. I know he's working on a new film. He's reinvented himself as a director and a quite good one. And he doesn't really do much in the, in the world of fashion publicly anymore that I'm aware of. But he showed up tonight escorting Julianne Moore who is also wearing Tom Ford. They both look incredible. But Julianne Moore, to me she is just ageless. She's stunning. We're going to throw that look up which is coming in a minute.
Maureen Keen
He just bought Jackie O's childhood home in the Hamiltons.
Rob Shooter
He bought that like a year ago. Yeah, she would summer. I think it was her grandparents home and I think he bought it for something like $60 million. Some sort of record breaking.
Maureen Keen
Yes, yes.
Rob Shooter
But you know I, I, I do kind of wonder what's in it for him at an event like this. He doesn't need it.
Maureen Keen
Doesn't need it. But maybe that's what's in it for him. He doesn't, he's not desperate. He can turn up with Julianne Moore. I'm sure they don't look like ridiculous. I'm sure they don't look like people look stunning.
Rob Shooter
They look like they can turn up.
Maureen Keen
Do you know what he did? You know what's in it for him? He can remind us what this night should be. He turns up with a beautiful actress in a beautiful dress who is not trying too hard.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, you know that's a great point.
Maureen Keen
Maybe that's what is in it for him.
Rob Shooter
That's a great point.
Tim McKay
Are the Kardashians here tonight?
Maureen Keen
Yes.
Kinsey Schofield
Kylie left her eyebrows at home.
Maureen Keen
Definitely.
Tim McKay
I always am interested to see what Kim will look like there she's not
Maureen Keen
there yet, but she's in New York. And she's not in New York this weekend to not go.
Rob Shooter
Okay. I mean, this is old, old school Hollywood black.
Maureen Keen
She's holding her neck and her head and that drape around her. He looks great too. Boa.
Tim McKay
What do you call that?
Rob Shooter
Yeah, it's like a feather. It looks like it's a feather wrap. And even look at the way it's almost like it's architectural, the way the dress pulls at her feet. It looks like little lily ponds. Like there's. There's no. She's not wearing any adornment around her neck. Just those. It looks like diamond earrings. She doesn't look like she's trying to look like she's 25. She also doesn't look like she's on Ozempic.
Maureen Keen
Right, Right.
Rob Shooter
She looks like a woman who takes care of herself. And he looks incredible. He looks incredible.
Maureen Keen
And a night where everybody's turning up solo. He shows you how to escort a lady in. Like, you can walk in and be a great host. Be a gentleman. Let her shine. The way that she was positioned on his arm was beautiful. It was just sweet. And nobody else wants to do that. Where's Ryan Reynolds? Why is he not doing that?
Rob Shooter
He's contemplating. He's doing the balance sheet. Is it cheaper to keep her or should he get a divorce and try to save that?
Maureen Keen
Do you think now. Do you think that now she's settled it. Now she's at the Met Ball. She thinks she'll get invited to Taylor Swift's wedding. Is that gonna be.
Rob Shooter
I do think she thinks that. I think she's that delusional. I think so many of these people are just that delusional. The way that Meghan is as delusional to think that she would get an invite to this. You know, Anna is a great monarchist.
Maureen Keen
You know, Dame Anna. She's Dame Anna.
Rob Shooter
She's Dame Anna. I think she's gonna allow. No, no. Okay. I also wanna take a look at Lindsey Vaughn, who showed up tonight looking like, you know, nothing. Nothing is wrong. She almost lost her leg at the Olympics a couple of months ago, you know, and here she is.
Maureen Keen
Wow.
Rob Shooter
Now, I think there's something very wrong with this woman. I think that I've had. I've had, like, knee surgeries that are just like a fraction of what this woman is going through. I couldn't imagine leaving my mom after that, showing up like this. I think she is addicted to fame, to the spotlight. Give her an invitation and she will show up again. What's in it for her? What does she need this for?
Maureen Keen
This? Why would you want to turn up?
Rob Shooter
Is she wearing heels?
Kinsey Schofield
Maybe She's a huge fiance fan.
Maureen Keen
No, last night she went to Anna's house. Anna has a pre party at her home down in the Village.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, all over Instagram.
Maureen Keen
She had her crutches with her last night, so she, you know, you have to walk.
Rob Shooter
So Anna lives in a townhouse in Greenwich Village. I used to live in a much more modest apartment off the street on Sullivan Street. It's well known.
Maureen Keen
Lovely street.
Rob Shooter
It's a nice street, but, you know, you have to step down to get into her townhouse.
Maureen Keen
It's not good if you broke your leg.
Rob Shooter
It's not good if you're on crutches. I wouldn't even attempt it in heels.
Tim McKay
And then before you get photographed, aren't you in a line, like, aren't you standing for a while before you go?
Maureen Keen
It's like the planes at LaGuardia. Like, waiting.
Tim McKay
I can't imagine, with knee surgery. She's over there hobbling. And then, like, I have to look good for this one photograph.
Rob Shooter
Patrick Schwarzenegger has a cane, but I think she needs a cane.
Maureen Keen
Be a gentleman, Patrick. Give it the cane.
Rob Shooter
He doesn't want it. She doesn't want to be seen in it. Okay. I want to look at Naomi Watts, another one who I think just looks incredible. She is wearing Dior. She's another one of these actresses who refuses to stretch her face into unrecognizability. She does not look like she's on Ozempic.
Kinsey Schofield
She's always teaching us about menopause. She's like a huge.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, that is her thing. I agree. You know, but I. I just want to say for the night and what she's wearing. This is stunning. I think it's good. I love it.
Maureen Keen
I love everything about it. And I love from the side you get a pop of color, and from the front, it's probably just black.
Rob Shooter
Yeah.
Maureen Keen
And then she turns around and you see that. I think it's beautiful. I like the flower in her hair. I like the classic Hollywood look. I love the choker, too. I do feel diamond choker. The hair looks good.
Rob Shooter
Great.
Maureen Keen
Perfect.
Rob Shooter
By herself Again by herself. Where's Billy Crudup? Her husband, Star of the morning show on Apple tv, which could be returning soon. Sorry, kins.
Kinsey Schofield
I was just gonna say we will forgive her portrayal of Princess Diana, that unfortunate film.
Rob Shooter
Oh, that was a long time ago.
Maureen Keen
Otherwise, long.
Rob Shooter
Let's go oh, we have to show. Did we show Katy Perry? Who is wearing.
Kinsey Schofield
Is she with Justin Trevor?
Rob Shooter
No. She, too, is stag tonight. He can't go near this. And did no one get wearing Stella McCartney? Okay, okay. Now we know she, too, is an astronaut. She went up in Blue Origin last year, just weeks before my own blonde origin. Space flight. But this, to me, looks like a reference to two things. Three things. The astronaut's helmet. Number one there was Kim K. Recently wore something to an event where her face was completely covered. And she also looks like she could be a member of Daft Punk or fencing.
Tim McKay
I feel like she's not fencing, love.
Rob Shooter
Get that bendy little blade. But this is just. This is an asshole trick to just take headlines, right? Like, that's all this is.
Maureen Keen
That's all it is. It's. You know, she would argue. I don't buy it for a second, but she would argue as she wants the focus to be on the dress. The gown.
Rob Shooter
Oh, not her stunning face. Shines like the sun. And we all can't look at her directly.
Maureen Keen
Some people would argue with everything she's going through with people accusing her of harassing them, of she's hiding her face with Shady and poison. They show up. It is so ballsy and so misguided that to turn up in a pretty dress. They think we're just going to forget what's been said or what's been proven. It's crazy.
Rob Shooter
It's so funny, too, because the sexual assault she's accused of involves, like, her own face and mouth. And I think. And it's an erasure there. And I think that you're absolutely right.
Maureen Keen
There. There's a reference. There's something.
Rob Shooter
And she's all in white.
Maureen Keen
And all in white like an angel. Innocent like an angel.
Rob Shooter
I'm an angel. We did have another costume for the dogs, but I think that they're fine where they are. Teddy is asleep on Oprah. That dog never rests. He's watching her like the guard. Like, don't go anywhere, sister. You're not moving a body tonight, okay? You may not be with Gail, but you're not getting away with a trick. I also want to show one of my favorite archival. I think this is one of the best things the Met Gala ever gave us ever, ever, ever. Do you recall, I don't know where. If you remember where you were when you first heard and saw of a little video that someone at the Standard Hotel or at the Boom Boom Room sold, I think, to tmz, Jay Z getting the shit Beat out of him by his sister in law Solange in an elevator while Beyonce stood in the corner and watched it happen. This was after an after party.
Maureen Keen
Look at her.
Rob Shooter
He is punching him. Something flew off his head. She kissed him. He's just standing there. Oh, he went to cover his groin. She did it again. She did it again.
Maureen Keen
This is the oh, I'm pizza lunge on this. Look at this. And this. Beyonce just minded a business in the
Rob Shooter
middle, like just observing like a referee. Like, oh, what's gonna happen next?
Tim McKay
Hear it? I wish we could hear what she was saying. It's probably hilarious.
Rob Shooter
She goes again. He grabbed her foot.
Maureen Keen
Oh, but then when the doors open, they do. You all walk out like a happy family. Get in the car.
Rob Shooter
He oh my God. The body bodyguard is really bigger than I Rabid dog. The boom boom room is at the top.
Maureen Keen
She got a good kick in.
Rob Shooter
What do you think that fight could have been about?
Kinsey Schofield
Becky with a good hair.
Tim McKay
I'm just surprised. Did she just find out like that? Did they walk by the woman that he was cheating with and one of
Rob Shooter
the women allegedly reported coached him at
Kinsey Schofield
the event and he nice to her, dismiss her. And that's why he.
Tim McKay
So it was something that they all already knew about. But I was like, let's break up here.
Maureen Keen
Yeah, they must have known about it for that to happen in that elevator.
Tim McKay
Yeah.
Maureen Keen
So Solange knew. They knew the rumors on Jay Z were loud for a very long time.
Rob Shooter
Rob, what have you heard? Because I have heard very reliably, allegedly reportedly that that guy has baby mamas all over the tri state.
Maureen Keen
I've heard that Jay Z has a lot of secrets.
Rob Shooter
Secrets. Oh, I think I know where you're going. I think I know exactly where you're going.
Kinsey Schofield
Stuff I think is what they're referring to of secrets. No.
Maureen Keen
But once again they all make these, these deals with the devil.
Rob Shooter
They do.
Maureen Keen
Talking to me. Isn't it like maybe that's how they join the Illuminati.
Tim McKay
They make the deal with the devil.
Maureen Keen
Really. They're a really despicable bunch. Like on the nerve. We really pull that, that, that curtain back, don't we? And let you see who they are.
Rob Shooter
Just I know he's always wanted to be known as Crystal. He's wanted to be out there. He loves the bimbofication scene. I would give it to him over Lauren tonight. I really would. Brian always comes to play. Let's take a look at Sam Smith who is also on the co host committee. And a name like I don't I don't hear of him much anymore. Okay, let's look at this. Look at the head. The head, the head. This, to me, feels like Temu. Alexander McQueen When McQueen was at his height. I. I also think it's. It's a bit sad and a bit desperate. What do you guys think?
Tim McKay
The face and the beard. I don't know why it's reminding me of Munchkin Land. Like, one of the, like, you'll be here story. Like, one of those guys from Munchkin Land. Like. And he's wearing, like, the witch's outfit,
Rob Shooter
though, that Nicole did not get. I mean, that backdrop is stunning. It's stunning.
Kinsey Schofield
You guys are personally offending me, referencing him as a he. He's a they them.
Rob Shooter
Is he still they?
Maureen Keen
That them?
Tim McKay
That's still a thing.
Maureen Keen
No, no details there in that picture. That carpet is hand painted, so it looks like cobblestones. It's not with grass growing. And then, actually, I've never, ever been to an event where they tent the ceiling and hang flowers from it.
Rob Shooter
Even the ceiling, you know, it's stunning.
Maureen Keen
And so, like, yes, Anna can talk about all the money that they bring into the city, but she never wants to talk about how much money this ball costs.
Rob Shooter
This ball. And I'll tell you something. Years ago, I was at a press Preview of Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty mounted by the Costume Institute. And it was early one morning in the days before the Met Gala. And very quietly, I saw, walking around, none other than Anna Wintour. She puts her personal stamp on everything. There's not a detail. So the people you're seeing, the people you're not seeing, it is true. Not a detail gets by Anna. I want to also look at the couple that made probably the most headlines in recent months. Fictional. Paul Anthony Kelly, who played JFK Jr. In Ryan Murphy's Love story, is there this evening. He's wearing Dior. And then I would like to look at Sarah Pigeon, who played Carolyn Bessette. Now, this guy, wow, he looks incredible. He is a stone cold fox in this thing. Okay. He is in Dior. It's a little bit fashion forward. Like, if you look at the length
Maureen Keen
of his jacket, but it's not Sam Smith.
Rob Shooter
Like, it's just traditional Schwarzenegger and not Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Maureen Keen
No, it's not a costume. It's. It's. It is fashion forward.
Rob Shooter
This guy's gonna get a major deal with a major house.
Maureen Keen
Yeah.
Rob Shooter
Don't you think?
Maureen Keen
Yeah. And he's gonna get a fragrance deal. And he's like, look at.
Tim McKay
He's gonna be rugged in the face too. Like I. Yeah.
Kinsey Schofield
Lands End keeps posting old pictures up from his modeling days of him and all the.
Rob Shooter
So far beyond Land's End now. So they can't afford.
Kinsey Schofield
I would. I want to buy a one way ticket to pound town. But he, he loves his wife. He's always posting about he. How much he loves his wife.
Tim McKay
See, you're single.
Rob Shooter
How many, how many episodes of the Nerve do you have to do live before, you know, Felching?
Kinsey Schofield
I gotta Google it. I'm going to google it.
Rob Shooter
But you know, the other thing before we get to Sarah Pigeon that I want to say about this guy is I was reading, you know, it was weeks before they were due to start shooting Love Story and they hadn't cast their JFK Jr yet. And the casting director said, said we're not making guys like this anymore. Meaning tall and broad and masculine and not like. You know what I mean?
Maureen Keen
Yeah. A friend of mine went in like four times for this and he was really.
Kinsey Schofield
He.
Maureen Keen
He got. Yeah. And he was a model who had limited act and appearance experience. But Ryan was like, I can get a performance out. And they were, you're right. They couldn't find guys like this. They couldn't find guys that could pull this off. And I think too, they wanted them to, to be gorgeous and have the spirit of him, but they didn't want it to be like a carbon copy.
Rob Shooter
Yes.
Maureen Keen
I think it was great.
Rob Shooter
He kept great. I thought he did a great job.
Maureen Keen
The whole series was on his shoulders. You couldn't have a bad.
Rob Shooter
You know, it was, I think, really hard about playing a guy like that. There was no there, there. There's nothing inside. So there's nothing to latch onto. It's a really hard performance. Yeah. Yeah. I loved it. Okay.
Maureen Keen
Pulled it off.
Rob Shooter
Pulled it off. Sarah Pigeon in lo. I don't. I hate this for her. I hate this for her. Oh, Sarah. You got to get a really trusted stylist on your payroll. This is not. It looks bad.
Tim McKay
It looks like it's supposed to tie or something behind her. It fell forward.
Rob Shooter
Dang, Tim.
Maureen Keen
It must have a back on it. Do you think?
Tim McKay
I wonder what the back looks like. Cuz it looks like it's supposed to tie.
Maureen Keen
But I mean, I see it might be the illusion that it's just holding there and there's a fake back on it.
Rob Shooter
I'm sure there's a fake back on it. But as a woman, I have to say I would worry that the weight of the Fabric on the side.
Maureen Keen
Yes. We'll pull that. One person walking past you and one pole, and it's all like. Yeah.
Tim McKay
I will say I love her with the blonde hair. I didn't love her as much when she had her brown hair. Dark brunette. She had black hair in then. They did a wonderful job with her.
Maureen Keen
No, you see these beautiful beaut. I mean, she's a beautiful person. And then they put on things like that, like chartreuse.
Kinsey Schofield
Spring break 2002.
Tim McKay
Neon chartreuse.
Rob Shooter
It's awful. Okay, we have a little bit of time, so let's look at. I'm going to ask for Amy Griffin. Amy Griffin, who wrote is married to a billionaire who does not seem to be with her tonight either, and who wrote a book called the Tell, in which I believe she falsely claimed that she was raped as a child brutally, and stole another woman's story. She is now being sued by that other woman. We have covered her exclusively on the Nerve. Among her best friends are none other than that dark force herself, Oprah fucking Winfrey. And here comes this woman. You want to talk shame? I think Rob Shame is dead. She can't. She showed up early. She was one of the first arrivals to make sure she got photographed on that red carpet.
Maureen Keen
Do get a time slot, though. All the guests get a time slot that they have to turn up in.
Rob Shooter
I did not know that.
Maureen Keen
They stagger them. The very early ones are the people that are on the committee. So you get the big ones at the top of the show. And so that's why Nicole Kidman's there on time. Although we have not seen Beyonce yet, and she is on the committee. She should be standing at the top of the staircase shaking hands. When you sign up to be a co host of the Method, it comes with certain rules. I went one year with Jennifer Lopez, and Jennifer was a co host and she had to get there early and she had to shake hands.
Rob Shooter
How early did she have to get there?
Maureen Keen
Like three hours before.
Rob Shooter
Three hours before. In full.
Maureen Keen
Full drag. She was like, in that outfit for.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, that's. That's not easy. I mean, it's not like, you know,
Maureen Keen
that's why it's such a miserable night for them. But, yeah, they stagger it. They do that, too, at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.
Rob Shooter
Oh, really?
Maureen Keen
Get a staggered time throughout the night, so.
Rob Shooter
But what's interesting to me is again, that she was invited at all. At all.
Kinsey Schofield
Could that be money?
Rob Shooter
Of course it is. She's married to a billionaire and she's purchased all of her friends but, like, there's. There's nothing you can do that. Okay, so this is what I want to get to thank you, Marlena, for reminding me the moral depravity of this evening. So I read this the other day, and then I went and pulled the 911 call. Call. We were talking at the top of the show of our livestream about agitators placing bottles filled with urine all throughout the Met. There are signs all over New York City about boycotting the Met gala. There are empty water bottles outside the Met as a form of protest. An Amazon worker in April dropped dead in Oregon. He was at a loading dock. And the reports were from other workers inside that same warehouse that they were told, and I quote, just turn around and not look. Let's get back to work. We have the 911 call, and we're going to play it. Here we go.
Kinsey Schofield
911. What is the address of the emergency?
Rob Shooter
I'm not sure the actual address.
Maureen Keen
This is Amazon PDX9.
Rob Shooter
We have a associate here I believe is probably dead. Now, there's one other part of that phone call. The operator says, how do you know that? Can you perform cpr? And keep in mind, again, these employees were told, get back to work. Why are you tending to some guy who's on the ground? He's collateral. We've got boxes to pack. Here we go. This person does have extensive blood coming from their head. It looks like they fell.
Tim McKay
They are very blue looking.
Rob Shooter
Their head is very blue looking. No pulse. Okay. Yes. He. There's. There's. There's fluid coming out his. No. Okay. What? I felt like it was important as we begin to wrap up the show, to close with that, because, you know, we are making fun of the vulgarity of a Lauren Sanchez, and the billionaires
Kinsey Schofield
on display is the perfect example of that. What you're talking about.
Rob Shooter
Want to show the audience Beyonce at. Has she shown up?
Kinsey Schofield
This is. This picture is from 47 minutes ago. But you're talking about just people. Not, you know, they can't afford to live, they can't afford to eat job
Rob Shooter
at an Amazon warehouse. Everybody's supposed to keep walking.
Maureen Keen
And, you know, it's not a supervisor making that call. That's somebody who doesn't know the address of where they're working 100%. Just somebody on the production line that's had the decency to call. Where's the management? Where's that? Like, there's no call from anybody else.
Rob Shooter
Well, we know from reports inside Amazon that, like, they time bathroom breaks, and you only are allowed a certain number of bathroom breaks. And if you need more than one, you're in trouble or whatever you're allotted number. You know what I mean? And so I just think it's important to acknowledge that it is on a night like this when you know, people are truly struggling. And people like Anna Wintour and Lauren Sanchez, they've all got their values just screwed completely up. And like we were saying earlier, like with the Devil Wears Prada too, and Lucy Liu plays the Mackenzie Bezos Scott character, or she goes by Mackenzie Scott, you know, she would never, ever show her face there. She would never have a thing to do with this. It feels very decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
Maureen Keen
That's what it does. Yeah. But it does feel as if we're at a tipping point. I would not be surprised if in the next five years that this doesn't exist anymore.
Rob Shooter
I couldn't agree with you more. I think you're absolutely right. I don't think this thing is much
Maureen Keen
has much like it's last leg first.
Rob Shooter
It does care.
Maureen Keen
They could move it into a smaller venue and something like that. But what we're seeing tonight isn't gonna be there for much longer. This is the dinosaurs. This is the people. This is Marie Antoinette. This is people dancing when the Rome is burning. This is Titanic. This is coming to an end.
Rob Shooter
It's coming to an end. Tim, what are your thoughts about that?
Tim McKay
I was gonna agree. I mean, just like. I mean, like, I bring it up again. Devil Wears Prada 2 kind of showed that fashion is just not clutching everyone by the throat like it used to. And this whole industry there is now,
Maureen Keen
because of social media, that everybody can have their own fashion. I don't need Anna to tell me what to wear anymore. I can look online. I can shop. I've got choices. So there are some positives to it, but this ridiculous display of this one empress, this one boss, telling us all what to do.
Rob Shooter
If you wouldn't mind, come over to me a little bit so that the troublemakers can see our Anna back there.
Maureen Keen
And I'll predict that Anna won't even be at Vogue in the next five to 10 years. In fact, I'm not even sure there'll be a Vogue.
Kinsey Schofield
I predict that Liam, Meghan Markle's spokesperson, will give us in the next 48 hours a statement about how Meghan didn't want to go anyway.
Maureen Keen
Meghan will post a video of Lilibet
Rob Shooter
with the chickens in the next 20 seconds, maybe profile. We're getting very close to seeing we'll get.
Maureen Keen
Had Charles been here two more days, we would have seen the face.
Rob Shooter
Oh, we definitely would have seen the faces.
Tim McKay
The Met might close in five years, like you're saying. But I just hope that, like, all glamour. Sorry.
Maureen Keen
Yeah.
Tim McKay
The event might close. I just hope we don't lose all glamour as we're moving through with time and as people stop caring about stuff and as people stop, like, you know, I just feel like I hope we don't lose everything to AI in a.
Rob Shooter
I don't think that will happen. Is the Nerf. We care about glamour.
Tim McKay
Let's keep glamour alive.
Maureen Keen
Look.
Rob Shooter
Who are you wearing? I'm wearing Roland Marais. Thank you. Thank you. It weighs, like, 80 pounds.
Maureen Keen
And who are you wearing? Is this a.
Kinsey Schofield
You have no idea.
Maureen Keen
Beautiful.
Kinsey Schofield
Thank you.
Rob Shooter
Everyone looks incredible. I love your velvet, your bow tie, the lapel.
Tim McKay
Very cute.
Rob Shooter
Love. Oh, well, now that we're a bestselling author, I Saint Laurent. But as we wrap, I want to show this final. Oh, Stedman. Stedman's an effigy. Thank you, Alyssa Stedman. We will never stop looking. Yeah. Where is Stedman? Tonight, we want to show. I found this clip of Tim Gunn telling some real truth about Anna Wintour, and it's so good. And it's just. It's just like the perfect palate cleanser for tonight's livestream. Listen to Tim tell Meredith Vieira about an atrocity he witnessed at a fashion show in New York City involving one Anna Wintour and the heated calls he got from her office at Vogue in the aftermath.
Tim McKay
What is the most unforgettable moment you've ever seen in fashion?
Rob Shooter
Very matter of fact. I had a very matter of fact
Tim McKay
response, and it was watching Anna Wintour being carried down five flights of stairs from a fashion show, period. And her office called my office the
Rob Shooter
next day and demanded a retraction. And I said, but it's true. It happened. I mean, I didn't make this up. Right.
Tim McKay
And they still demanded a retraction.
Maureen Keen
And I said, no.
Rob Shooter
Oh, my goodness. How great is that?
Maureen Keen
Right? It's great. And he was never, ever invited to the ball ever again.
Rob Shooter
He was never. And you know what? He doesn't need it either. And I just have to bring back in once more the gorgeous Maureen Keen of Keens Canines on Long island, who has been taking care of Teddy for a very long time. And now, trouble. She is an extremely accomplished dog trainer. We just had a session yesterday, which is why these two are so well behaved.
Maureen Keen
What are they learning at the moment? What's their new.
Rob Shooter
What would you say they're learning at the moment? What are they learning? Yeah. Trouble is learning to leave Teddy alone. Oh, about that. She's so right about that.
Maureen Keen
Teddy's been a good older brother. He's amazing.
Rob Shooter
He's very, very tolerant. He is very tall. He is. All right, that does it for our inaugural Met Gala and Pet Gala live. We will see you all back here on Wednesday for the Nerve at night and then again Friday at the Nerve, where you will never guess what we're about to say next.
Kinsey Schofield
That's true. We in trouble after this.
Tim McKay
Now at McDonald's, a McDouble is 250.
Maureen Keen
So you can get your gym gains on or just get lunch for only 250. Get more value on the under three dollar menu.
Tim McKay
Limited time only.
Rob Shooter
Prices and participation may vary.
Maureen Keen
Prices may be higher for delivery.
Rob Shooter
Why have we asked our contractor we found on Angie.com to be our kids legal guardian?
Kinsey Schofield
Because he took such good care when redoing our basement that we knew we could trust him to care for our kids.
Rob Shooter
We only met a month ago.
Maureen Keen
Angie, the one you trust to find the ones you trust.

Original Air Date: May 5, 2026
Host: Maureen Keen (MK Media)
Panel: Kinsey Schofield, Tim McKay, Rob Shooter
Theme: A scathing, hilarious, and unfiltered look at the 2026 Met Gala—its politics, fashion, notable absences, and what the event says about celebrity, privilege, and the fading power of Vogue.
The Nerve’s inaugural Met Gala Livestream brings together Maureen Keen, pop culture watchdogs Kinsey Schofield, Tim McKay, and Rob Shooter for a real-time, tell-all, and mercilessly witty celebration and evisceration of the 2026 Met Gala. This “sub-Gala” features both human and canine fashion critiques (courtesy of the Pet Gala), dishy takes on attendee politics, red carpet looks, industry hypocrisy, and biting commentary on the indelible connections between the event, the fashion elite, and billionaire patronage.
The Nerve eviscerates the Met Gala not just as a spectacle of fashion but as evidence of ethical bankruptcy, waning glamor, and generational change. The hosts’ sharp wit and industry knowledge strip away the mystique, rendering the event as both farce and cautionary tale about image, wealth, and the irrelevance of former empires—fashion or otherwise.
Panel’s Final Words:
Razor-sharp, merciless, and riotously entertaining. Even if you haven’t watched the Met Gala, you’ll feel like you were there, champagne in one hand, jaw on the floor.
