Also I am only getting hints of...

Which celebrity relationships fall into cliche romance book tropes?

Enemies to lovers? Falling in love with your bodyguard? A fake romance? Smut books are taking off more and more each year, so I had on Torr

Enemies to lovers? Falling in love with your bodyguard? A fake romance?

The History of Horniness

Take a drink every time I say 'horned up' this episode.

In a vast pivot from last week's episode, today we are talking about all things HORNY! I was researching women's libido and the differences in it from men's libido which led to an entire episode about the history of our narratives around sex. We tend to view sex as shameful and dangerous...but did we always? What factors led to us t...

Julia Fox out as a lesbian? as well as a discussion around celebrity celibacy and late in life coming out

Hey everyone! Julia Fox came out this week as a lesbian in a TikTok stitch (although as you know from our Jojo episode on Monday...it takes 2 public coming outs for a celebrity to be "verified" lol) so I wanted to dive into Julia, her anti-male-gaze lifestyle, her remarks on how she's been celibate, and then a discussion around celibacy, other celebrities who have been celibate, and other stori...

Q&A for....the Enty Episode

This week's episode will be the long awaited Enty episode! I'm putting together a doc this week of kind of a timeline of my experience with blind items, when I first "met" Enty, the work we did together, who I thought Enty was (and my theory on who does and doesn't write the blind items on CDAN), and the big drama bomb/reveal of his identity that ended up happening.

I wanted to throw a s...

Sabrina Carpenter and Her Bad Boy Barry Keoghan

Episode discussion here! Apologies, I've forgotten to do this for the previous Monday episodes. But I definitely want to hear your thoughts on this topic....I was shocked Barry had such a dastardly reputation online!

Their mom has weighed in! 😭

Tell me why when I made the video, I thought the conspiracy theory was a joke - but now that Finneas AND his mom have commented on this I now believe it’s true??? Those kids are 60 AT LEAST!!

Oh jk he hated it

Hahaha as I said at the end of the episode, FINNEAS commented on my conspiracy video saying that he was 17 when he was in glee, and when I asked if he is 45 now he replied with this lol so I take it back I don’t think he thought it was funny lol RIP
