  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Rob Shooter. We bring you naughty but
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: nice celebrity gossip. It is nice, little cheeky, a little
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: bit of a pinch but never a punch, but not
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: mean gosslia. So we're bringing you gossip Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. You're gonna want to stay around
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: for the whole show today because today's ending of the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: show a moment of Rob. Every day we end with
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: something a little bit inspirational. Today it's not about me
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: at all. It's actually a moment of you, So stick
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: around for that. What's that I hear? It's the chimes
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of Big Ben, which means only one thing on this show,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: It's time to spill the tea. In a shocking new interview,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Kanye West is saying Kobe Bryant was the quote basketball
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: version of miya Oh. Let's jump into this. So it's
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a real big, in depth interviewer with g Q magazine
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: that comes out on Friday. He's revealing a lot a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: lot in this interview, including that he is now a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: reborn Christian and this has kept him away from the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Devil's work also too. He considers himself to be one
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of Kobe Bryant's best friends. Kanye said of the NBA
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: legend who passed away in January, he is quote of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the basket ball version of Mia, and I was the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: rap version of him. I don't know about this one,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: so a lot of Kobe's friends probably wouldn't agree. Kobe
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: was a genius but also quite a humble man, which
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: is something that Kanye definitely isn't. Kanye explains that every
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: morning on the way to work, he actually is the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: place the site where Kobe and Kobe's thirteen year old
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: daughter Gear and seven other people died in that helicopter crash.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Passing that site every morning actually inspires Kanye, is what
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: he's revealing. He added that following the tragic crash, there
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: was no way for him not to be as determined
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: as Kobe. Quote, there's no move of that we can't make.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So I love believing in yourself, but there is a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: line between believing in yourself and being arrogant. Ah, I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: fear Kanye has crossed over it. I hit the phones
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: like we do here on the show, spoke to all
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: my sources and they told me that, yes, it is
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: coming across as arrogant, and comparing yourself to one of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the greatest athletes of all time is very grand. However,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Kanye has nothing but love in his heart for Kobe.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: The passing deeply affected Kanye, who vowed that he had
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: never taken another day for granted because now we know
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we saw it. It could literally end like that in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a second. It doesn't matter who you are, how rich
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you are, how powerful you are, it could end very,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: very quickly. What's been very hard for Kanye, my sources
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: are telling me is that Kobe also died with his daughter.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Being a dad has made Kanye a better man every
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: single day. Also in this interview in g Q, Kanye
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: spoke out about his hospitalization. He entered hospital in a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: psychiatric emergency, his revealing that now he is a born
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: again Christian and this has led him on a new path,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: not just in life, but also musically. Now he's trying
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to melt together gospel music and hip hop. He actually
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: does acknowledge that in his past he has been arrogant. Now,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: this is a strange thing to admit about your past.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: In the same interview where your compare herring yourself to Kobe,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: but we'll let it go. He said the following quote.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I think that the arrogance could have come from the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: fact that I wasn't working for God, but I was
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: working for my ego, which is like working for the devil.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: This brings us to a pole of the day. Kanye
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: West says Kobe was the basketball version of me. What
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: do you think Kim Kardashian? That's right? What do you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: think Kim thinks about all this? Do you think she
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: supports him? Or does she just wish he would just
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: shut up? Going vote on our Twitter page at Naughty
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Nice Rob. You can leave a comment on our Facebook

  Speaker 1: on our next show to get your results. The world,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the celebrity world has just exploded because Britney Speers is
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: talking about her breakup with Justin timber Lake. So it
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: looks like Brittany is not crying a river get the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: reference when it comes to her ex Justin timber Lake,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: as she gave him props while making a very rare
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: comment about the legendary love affair, taking to her Instagram
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: account Britty proof she's still got the moves and that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: middery if she looks incredible. She's sharing a video of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: herself dancing to Justin single Filthy, I Love that song.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: While poking fun at her own social media skills, she said, quote,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: this is my version of snapchat or TikTok or whatever
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the cool thing they're supposed to do these days. As
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you can see, I'm not really dancing, folks, I just bored. However,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: she said something then that made her fan base and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: maybe the celebrity world explode. She actually dished about her
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: relationship with Justin quote, I know we had one of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the world's biggest breakups twenty years ago, but hey, the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: man is a genius. Great song JT. That's what she
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: captioned it. My sources tell me that Brittany has tended
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to be very quiet about this relationship with Justin, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: she doesn't really talk about him or the rumor that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: she cheated on him at all. I used to work
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: in a press office where I handled Diddy and Jayla.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: You know the story. Susan, my friend who sat in
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the office next to me, handled Brittany. Susan was like
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: my mate in the office. We went for coffee breaks
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: together lunch together, drinks together, and would always gossip about
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: what happened that day. She told me that questions about
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Justin were strictly discouraged. Brittany did not want to talk
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: about them. However, friends of Brittany do tell me Brittany
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: was just having some firm listening to some of the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: songs that she loves. We shouldn't get too carried away
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: here because the two of them are no longer really
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: in touch at all. So no reunion, no duet, no
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: love story. He's happily married and she's dating someone. Afraid
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this is as most as we're going to get dear
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Brittley dancing to his songs. Gwen Stefani is worried that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: ex Davin ross Dale is letting the kids schooling slip
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: when they're with him. So Gwen is facing problems with
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: homeschooling and her three sons she shares with her ex
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: husband Gavin. So this has been a very stressful time
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: for everybody, and now sources are telling us Weekly Quote
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the boys are used to having a very structured day
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and the coronavirus has made this impossible. Gwen is actually
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: worried that when the children are with Gavin. They're not
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: really focused on their schoolwork as much as they should be.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I called everyone I know and they told me something's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: going on here, a little bit more deep than the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: boys and the schoolwork. Gwen and Gavin do not get along.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It's been very hard for the post divorce. They're trying
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to be played for the sake of the children, but
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: it's not easier. Basically, they're different parenting style. She's actually
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: much stricter than he is. Imagine that Gwen Stefarney been
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a strict mommy. Well apparently she is quite strict, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that isn't the problem here. What it is doing is
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: shining a spotlight on how different these two people are
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: as people and why the marriage ultimately did not work.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Inside his tell me that the wounds are very deep
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: between the two of them and have not really healed.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Now are picking the scab off those wounds. However, Gwen
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: does feel that she's very lucky to have Blake Sheldon's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: shoulder to cry on. He's a great guy. These two
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: are very much in love and finding her soul mate
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: finally is only highlighting what a bad marriage she had
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: out Listen you too, this is difficult for everybody. Let's
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: all take a breath. What really is the status of
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Bruce willis his current relationship, current marriage, now that he's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: self isolating with his ex Demi Moore. So a few
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: episodes ago on this show, we gave you all the details.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: We broke it down why Demi and Bruce were spending
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: time together in isolation. Were the first show to report
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: that Emma, Bruce's wife, was actually not with them, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: now there's been a ton of speculation about the status
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of his current relationship. People Magazine are reporting that everything
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: is fine. They say that Emma and Demi are closed
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and all three of them get along like one big,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: blended family. Quote, there are no issues at all. People
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: also and that Emma needed to stay in l A
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: with the young children. Well, Bruce is with his eggs
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: m However, my sources tell me this is not quite
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: as rosie as it looks. They have been friends for
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a long time dem and Bruce, they were married for
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: over thirteen years, and they do support each other. So
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: for instance, Demi actually attended Bruce's and Emma's vow renewal
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: ceremony last year in March two thousand and nineteen, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: then when Demi had her memoir at Remember That Great
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Book Inside Out in September, Emma and Bruce supported her
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: at the launch of the book. However, this whole blended
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: family thing is something they want to believe and want
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: us to believe. But it is still unclear to friends
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of the couple, of the three and on a threesome,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: but of the three people here involved, it is unclear
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: why Bruce chose to self isolate with his full grown
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: adult children and leave his little ones. He has babies
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: with his wife. I don't have the exact story yet,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: but I promise you I will get it. Jennifer Lopez
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and Alex Rodriguez is desk a nation wedding location has
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: been revealed. That's right, so our friends said us Weekly. Hello,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Mark Lupo. I miss Mark. Mark was a co host
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: every Thursday. He's an editor as Weekly. During what we're
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: going through, though, I've been doing this by myself, so
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: as Weekly, I reported that the couple were set to
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: get married in Italy this summer, but they've had to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: cancel it because of the virus. Sources tell us quote
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: all of this was planned and paid for. They obviously
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: had to postpone it due to the Corona virus, but
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: j Lo wants to marry a Rod shortly after things
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: go back to normal. She wants to marry him and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: celebrate their love in front of their family and close friends. So,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: as you know, Alex pop the question to the superstar
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: in March two thousand and nineteen with a massive, massive,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: massive sparkler on a romantic getaway overseas. Mindside is tell
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: me that both of them are devastated about having to cancel. However,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: they do know this is rich people's problems. Italy is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: in very bad shape. We're sending you all our love,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and Jlo and Alex knows this is not really about them. Fortunately,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: they can afford to get married when they want, where
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: they want, how they want. Insiders tell me now the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: new plans are to be married in the home of Miami,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a much more simple affair. Now is the time for love,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: not over the top weddings. I think I agree. Actually
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it might be even better. We're gonna take a break,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: but we're going to be even better when we return
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: because we've got our results from our pole, and we've

• 12:55
  Speaker 1: blindsided by this comment. Our question was do you think

  Speaker 1: she should respond yes or noah? The results are in
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: A whopping sixty said Noah, she should ignore Demi's comments.

  Speaker 1: So Angelina spoke with California and Surgeon General That's Fancy
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Dr Harris for Time Magazine to discuss the current situation,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and she said, now is a very important time for
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: people to reach out to each other because we really
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: don't know what going on behind the scenes in somebody's life.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Dr Harris stated that all the research shows that the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: single most powerful antidote to the impacts of trauma is nurturing,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: caring relationships with one another. Angelina didn't just talk the talk.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: She donated one million dollars to know Kid Hungry and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: organization that feeds children of low income families. And she
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: is our nicest of the Day, although there's no news
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: yet as to whether or not she's reached out to
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Brad pitt All and now and Naughtiest of the Day,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: designer Michael Costello is calling out celebrity clients who ignored
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: his requests for help. Michael Costello, who you know from
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Projects Runaway, has converted his l A fashion business into
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a mask making factory to help. It's the virus, so
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Michael is doing as much as he can to try
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and make as many masks as possible. L A mayor
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: has said they need five million masks. So Michael is
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: very connected. He knows a lot of celebrities and on
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: his social media he reached out to all of them
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: asking for help and guess what, they didn't come through
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and now he is calling them out. He's not naming names,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: but we do know some of his clients include Kylie Jenner,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Nicki Minaj. So he
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: stressed a lot of celebrities. He's claiming that none of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: them helped him out. So, Michael, you're a good guy.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: You're not the naughtiest. You. Celebrities who didn't help you
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: know who you are. You're and naughtiest of the day.
• 15:46

• 16:04
