In this week’s episode of Gossip With Celebitchy, we muse over Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin covering Vogue and revealing their relationship problems. We discuss Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson’s surprising romance and wonder what exactly she sees in him. The term shamef-ck is used. We talk about Liam Neeson showing his racist ass twice and needing a crisis manager. We also go in depth with Duchess Meghan’s People Magazine cover story, including her Instagram-friendly life, her friends coming to her defense with personal stories, and the surprising news that she’s religious. We also talk about Jennifer Lawrence’s engagement to an art dealer, with Kaiser’s take that eight months isn’t too soon to get engaged. I’m a little more cynical about it!
The reader questions get us nostalgic for celebrity scandals including Ben Affleck’s nannygate and the Robsten cheating scandal. (I totally forgot that Kristen issued a public apology to Rob and I thought that she was caught cheating in a VW Beatle, but it was a Mini Cooper!) We mention celebrities by name who have hired firms to comment on their behalf (this does happen) and what we think about hardcore fans.
We end with our weekly feature, the comment of the week. (Here’s a link to the honorable mention.)

Remember when Ben Affleck’s nanny wore Tom Brady’s Super Bowl rings and Instagrammed it?

Not sure why Kate would want to get involved, even for a fling, with Pete, who by his own admission has felt very fragile recently. I remember nannygate!
It never occurred to me about some of these celebrities hiring firms to flood comment sections of stories but it makes sense.
I’m suspicious that the Kardashians do this too. I remember when I commented that I thought Kanye West was bipolar (before he talked publicly about it) I got pounced on, like I was the worst.
Can I just say Cooke Maroney sounds like a character in a Dick Tracy comic?

I can’t believe Nannygate was nearly 4 years ago.
Woo-hoo! Hourable mention! I’m the Amy Adams! 😁
Loving the podcast.
The Amy Adams! 😂
Always love listening to your show. It was really fascinating hearing about the paid commentators some celebs hire. I really feel like this is happening with Duchess Kate. I noticed in the fall that there was (and continues) to be a group of commentators that seem to attack Meghan at every opportunity and prop Kate up.
Thank you!! It’s possible but I think that they’re too mean to Meghan to be paid. Also usually the paid commenters say the same thing in different ways.
I’m loving the podcast. Now that it’s on iTunes I’m marathoning the entire thing.
I think my biggest takeaway is how much I appreciate what they do…like this so nice to have those moment of humor and levity and snark to start my day…and it makes me really happy when they get to take joy in their job (like when crazy scandals break)…and it makes me sad when their job ends up being stressful (like getting named in a lawsuit or having crazy fans blowing up the comments).
Thank you for being a part of my daily routine. It means something.
Thank you so much Lila, this was so nice to read!!
Hey ladies, I’m loving the podcast! Thanks for putting this together. I wish it was twice as long!!
