Tori Spelling Abruptly Abandons ‘90210’ Rewatch Podcast: Why?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Recently, Tori Spelling has been a podcast girlie before anything else.

With her long-awaited divorce and a lot of debt, you’d also think that she needs to keep active in anything that she can.

However, Tori has abruptly vanished from her Beverly Hills, 90210 rewatch podcast with former co-star Jennie Garth.

What happened?

After 6 years, it’s over

On Thursday, July 30, Tori took to an Instagram Live to announce her abrupt exit from 90210MG.

She and Jennie launched their rewatch podcast in 2020.

We can all think about how much has happened in that time and how much Tori’s life, in particular, has evolved as they walked down memory lane.

Tori offered only the vague explanation that she plans to pursue other projects.

She did, however, encourage fans to continue to listen to Jennie’s now-solo takes on Beverly Hills, 90210 episodes.

Us Weekly confirmed that Tori “has not participated on the podcast in recent weeks.”

However, that same report immediately stressed that Jennie “is passionately excited to continue to rewatch.”

Yes, we would imagine so.

“She plans to rewatch it to the end,” the report assured.

“And, the report then teased, Jennie will “include special guests and guests co-hosts from the series.”

They stopped on Season 8 … out of 10

Tori and Jennie were on Season 8 of the series.

Considering that this 10-season series ran from 1990 until 2000 — a very impressive run with few parallels — that’s an odd place to stop.

If your podcast isn’t popping off, you might call it quits in Season 3.

If you’ve had a great run, you stop at the series finale.

Stopping at Season 8, when you’re so close to the end, isn’t about the podcast. It means that there’s either something external to do … or a piece of personal friction.

However, Tori encouraging people to keep watching Jennie’s recaps seems like an effort to quash interpersonal conflict rumors.

There may be evidence that Tori is jumping ship because she wants to work with a different former co-star.

Some of her recent posts have featured Brian Austin Green. Are they working on a collab?

Fans of the podcast, meanwhile, have voiced their frustration on social media, wondering why Tori and Jennie alike seem to be keeping people in the dark.

Is it their business? Yes. But if they expect people to follow along with their projects, some transparency is not unreasonable.

Nicki Minaj Wants Dr. Fauci to Feel ‘Pain’ Over COVID-19 Response, Triples …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This week, members of the Senate staged a would-be show trial of Dr. Anthony Fauci, putting on a performance for the cameras of asking him “tough” questions.

Dr. Fauci’s name in the news apparently had Nicki Minaj thinking back to her own famously unhinged vaccine skepticism in 2021.

At the time. the head of the US COVID-19 pandemic response had gently cautioned her against promoting vaccine hesitancy.

Five years later, the Trump collaborator is openly posting a fantasy about him suffering, while blaming him for … what, exactly? Let’s take a look.

‘The collective pain & long term ramifications …’

In a tweet on Thursday, July 30, Minaj took aim at Dr. Fauci alongside a hideous slop portrayal of him as a ’90s teen.

“Feeding tubes will be his portion,” she fantasized. “He will lose the ability to speak.”

Minaj continued: “& then & only then will he feel the collective pain & long term ramifications he caused to [newborns], young children who are still trying to become acclimated into society & schools.”

Her list went on: “Traumatized pregnant women who couldn’t even have family in the delivery rooms & visits, the elderly who died alone & afraid, young ppl still struggling w/mental health, suicide, people turned away from hospitals at their most vulnerable moments.”

Shifting into rambling mode, Minaj wrote: “the trust that is now gone from innocent people toward their governments forever.”

On July 30, 2026, Nicki Minaj seemed to blame Dr. Anthony Fauci for a lot of things that seem like they were beyond his, perhaps anyone’s, control in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. (Image Credit: twitter)

She complained about “billions of stolen money from hard working tax payers via con artists.”

Minaj alleged: “I’ve been struggling to find the humor in any of this.”

Her tweet concluded: “God bless everyone who made it to the other side. You’re stronger than you thought. God is in control.”

Some of Minaj’s tweet is a little difficult to parse.

However, it appears that she is saying that COVID restrictions during the final year of Trump’s first term were more destructive than the deadly virus that, even with restrictions, killed over 9 million people and disabled countless more.

Attempting to refer to constructing an Ark, as if to escape a mythical flood, Nicki Minaj suggests vaccine hesitancy regarding booster shots. Great. (Image Credit: twitter)

She meant to write ‘Nicki’s Ark’

In a follow-up tweet, Minaj once again expressed her vaccine hesitancy, this time by misspelling the work “ark” repeatedly.

“Once they started telling yall to get a new booster shot every 5 to 10 business days like it was the new Jordans droppin?!?!!!!!!! That’s when I knew,” she wrote.

“I went in my backyard & started building the Arc. Nicki’s Arc,” Minaj wrote. “I know the Lord won’t send another flood but still.”

Most people are aware a virus that is allowed to mutate uncontrollably will require additional vaccines to help the immune system recognize and target the virus more quickly. Old antibodies might not immediately target a new version of the virus.

Minaj, who once claimed that the COVID-19 vaccine had caused a man’s testicles to swell to extreme size and thus canceled his wedding (an investigation by the government found that no such event took place), does not seem to understand the concept.

So, what’s going on with her?

Some people believe that Minaj has cynically sold her soul to the Trump regime, endorsing fascism and coddling white supremacy in exchange for various political favors.

Others believe that she simply feels entitled to government responsiveness, blaming California Governor Gavin Newsom for not doing enough to halt harassment, including SWATting, that targeted her home, setting her down a weird downward spiral into conservatism.

There is also the theory that it simply began with her weird reaction to COVID. There are definitely some people who disconnected from reality over pandemic fears and had kneejerk contrarian reactions to the idea that they should bear any inconvenience for the safety and protection of others.

But, as Matt Bernstein and his guests suggest in the video above, perhaps the most likely explanation is that Minaj was, deep down, always like this. That she spent years semi-pretending to be halfway decent on the surface, and has dropped the facade.

Farrah Abraham Doubles Down on (Revised) Political Run, Even If Nobody’s Sure If …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Early this year, Farrah Abraham announced a political run in the wrong year.

She panicked and pivoted to running for a new political position. In the right year, this time!

Now, the oft-ridiculed Teen Mom alum is doubling down on her campaign.

But she’s also taking a break to skewer her mom as a “sociopath.”

Yes, she’s still running

In January of this year, Farrah proclaimed her candidacy to be mayor of Austin, running in this year’s election.

She was live on TMZ when she learned that the next mayoral race will not be until 2028.

Farrah course-corrected, as one might charitably phrase it, to be running for Austin City Council in District 5.

She’ll be facing off against Ryan Alter, who is Harvard-educated and the incumbent.

Technically, Farrah also took some Harvard courses. You may recall how she ended up burning her Harvard sweatshirt and freaking out when, the clues suggest, a professor gently tried to speak with her about her wildly incoherent writing. She doesn’t take criticism well.

The good folks at The Ashley captured Farrah Abraham’s Instagram Story where she’s doubling down on her Austin City Council run. (Image Credit: Instagram)

On Tuesday, July 28, Farrah doubled down on her farcical run for office by displaying her merch and declaring that she’s “officially on the ballot for November.”

(We said farcical, not impossible. Undeserving monsters whose only qualifications are being reality TV bigots can and do win elections, to the world’s everlasting regret, even if Spencer Pratt did lose recently.)

Ominously, Farrah thanked the people who live in District 5 “in advance” for supporting her.

There are big questions about whether Farrah meets eligibility requirements for City Council. But Farrah insists that she meets the requirements, even if she’s not disclosing her actual place of residency to the public.

We can only hope that the good people of Austin will not allow Farrah to launch a political career. Please.

Let’s not forget the woman whose fault this is

Speaking of people whose names we all long to forget, Debra Danielsen has made multiple appearances on the podcast of Catelynn Lowell’s brother, Nick.

That is so tangential but was enough to set off Farrah, who griped about it on the Legally Goff Podcast.

First and foremost, Farrah blasted anyone related to Catelynn as “a family who goes out of their way to insert themselves into my life and hate on me.”

She added that her doctors and her “success team” (no, we do not know what that means) agree with her.

Farrah claimed that these people are “mind-boggled as to why my mom continues to act like a sociopath.”

Farrah did talk about learning to mentally disentangle herself from her mother. Who, to be fair, Teen Mom fans generally agree could not have been a good parent or a good person.

“Just having the education and the words now, to know, like, ‘Hey, if you’re acting like a sociopath, then that is what you are,’” she said.

“‘You’re no longer my mom,” Farrah expressed. “That has taken you over and I really hope that you get some help for that.”

She suggested: “Go find your own identity outside of your daughters’ and people hating your daughter and [you’re] joining in that. And I will never do that to my own child.”

Gosh, we sure hope that that’s true. For Sophia’s sake.

Emily Willis: Adult Film Star Still Unable to Speak Following Coma, Mom Says

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Back in 2023, adult film star Emily Willis went into cardiac arrest while being treated for ketamine addiction at a rehab facility in Malibu.

This week, her family was awarded a $3 million settlement against the facility, but for Emily, life will never be the same.

Following news of the settlement, Emily’s mother told TMZ that her daughter is still unable to speak and communicates only with her eyes and by shaking her head.

Emily went 30 to 40 minutes without oxygen during her cardiac arrest, and she still undergoes daily therapy with the goal of one day regaining the ability to speak.

According to TMZ, “Emily is still learning to walk again and needs help being fed,” but she is finally able to sleep without being monitored.

Her family reports that she is able to watch and understand her favorite movies and TV shows, and her mother estimates that Emily is able to comprehend “about 80 percent” of what is happening around her.

After undergoing 10 surgeries, Emily is currently living in Mexico, where she works with a team of “top-tier therapists.”

Emily’s mother says the family is hoping to travel to Spain, so that she can undergo a new procedure that’s designed to “stimulate the systems that control speech, communication, and movement.”

And while the family was just awarded a massive settlement, $3 million is really just a drop in the bucket, considering the fact that Emily will likely require lifelong care.

The settlement reflects a new trend — one that we previously saw following Matthew Perry’s death — in which parties responsible for an addict’s recovery are being held civilly and criminally liable for failing to live up to provide adequate care.

Prior to her two-month coma, Willis was one of the biggest stars in the world of adult film. In 2023, she transitioned to mainstream film with a role in the sci-fi film Divinity.

We wish Emily and her family all the best as they continue on their long road to recovery.

Amanda Batula & Kyle Cooke: Here’s Why We Didn’t Bone While Married!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

One of the many, many messy pieces of the Summer House fallout was a wild detail.

In their four years of marriage, Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke never had sex.

Why did that happen? Well, they’re now explaining that there were several factors.

One of them was that Cooke tried to have her read a book about dating an entrepreneur.

‘There were no dates’

At the Summer House reunion, both Cooke and Batula revealed that they had never actually consummated their marriage.

On July 28, during Part 2 of the In The City reunion, Batula explained that “part of it” was an issue with her mental health.

“Depression will do that,” she said simply.

Even before they married in 2021, their sex life was a topic in therapy.

“I wasn’t getting courted. There were no dates,” Batula explained. “He would work all day, work all night, then come to bed, tell me an email, and then try to have sex with me.”

“It felt like there was no foreplay. There was no emotional intimacy. There was no conversation,” Batula lamented.

She summarized: “There was nothing else happening in the relationship.”

“I felt like I was just an object at that point,” Batula expressed, understandably.

“Then the depression hit also, and then it was just an unfortunate storm,” she characterized.

Batula noted: “Then he would still go out. He would still do these things. We get into big fights –”

‘Your solution was for me to read a book on how to date an entrepreneur’

This is when Cooke interrupted.

“Can you imagine?” he asked, seemingly seeking sympathy.

“Like this is not like a guy-girl thing,” he characterized.

“But like we get married, Cooke described, “and there’s just, like, we never have sex.”

They did clarify that the never was hyperbolic. Batula and Cooke confirmed that they had sex three times in their four-year marriage.

“Every date we ever went on, trip, getaway, I’m putting in the hours now or then, so we can provide for a family later,” Cooke explained. Which is to say that his unhinged grind mindset (grindset) was a factor.

“It takes a toll on our romantic and intimate relationship,” Batula explained. “Your solution was for me to read a book on how to date an entrepreneur.”

She continued: “So like you’re literally saying exactly what I’m saying is that you worked really hard for our future, but it did have an effect on our marriage and our relationship.”

You know that moment in A Muppet’s Christmas Carol when young Scrooge and his would-be wife sing about how their love is gone because he’s too fixated on building a career and fortune and forgot to nurture their relationship?

It sounds like that, but way more modern and way more cringe.

Many people are entrepreneurs. Guys who use that specific identity as a label are often waving a red flag, however.

Glen Hansard Cause of Death: ‘Once’ Star, The Frames Singer Was 56

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We have tragic news to report from the world of music today.

Glen Hansard — the Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame with his role in the acclaimed 2007 film Once — has passed away.

He was just 56 years old.

According to a report from the Associated Press, Hansard died early Wednesday morning in a single-vehicle motorcycle crash in Lucan, on the outskirts of Dublin.

Emergency responders treated him at the scene, but he was pronounced dead shortly afterward. His family later said they were “deeply shocked and heartbroken” by the sudden loss.

For music fans around the world, Hansard will forever be remembered as the soulful voice behind the band the Frames and the folk duo the Swell Season.

But it was his role in Once — and the film’s Oscar-winning song, “Falling Slowly,” which he sang with Markéta Irglová — that brought him his greatest international fame.

Long before Oscar recognition, Hansard had established himself as one of Ireland’s most respected musicians.

He fronted the Frames for decades, helping shape the country’s modern rock scene, while his work with the Swell Season and as a solo artist showcased a deeply personal style that resonated with listeners worldwide.

His 2015 solo album Didn’t He Ramble earned a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album, further cementing his reputation as one of Ireland’s premier singer-songwriters.

Away from the spotlight, Hansard was widely admired for his charitable work. For years, he organized an annual Christmas Eve busking event outside Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre to raise money for the Dublin Simon Community, which supports people experiencing homelessness.

He also delivered a memorable performance of “Fairytale of New York” at the 2023 funeral of Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan, a tribute that became one of the ceremony’s most unforgettable moments.

Tributes quickly poured in following news of Hansard’s death.

Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin described him as “a talented musician and actor who made a significant contribution to Ireland’s cultural landscape over many years,” while others praised not only his artistic gifts but also his generosity and commitment to helping others.

Hansard is survived by his partner, poet Maire Saaritsa, and their child.

Our thoughts go out to his loved ones during this enormously difficult time.

Tony Romo Fumbles Field Sobriety Test In New Arrest Video

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last week, we reported on the news that Tony Romo had been arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) in Wisconsin.

Now, the arrest is receiving renewed attention after newly released body camera footage showed the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback struggling through field sobriety testing following his July 23 traffic stop.

The video, obtained by Page Six, shows the retired NFL star being instructed through a series of standardized sobriety tests after officers said they observed signs of impairment, including red, glassy eyes and the odor of alcohol.

According to the footage, Romo asked if he could stretch before beginning the exercises, explaining that previous back issues were bothering him.

During the tests, he repeatedly said he did not understand the instructions and asked officers to repeat them.

At one point, Romo asked, “Did I pass?” before continuing with the evaluation. Officers ultimately determined he had not successfully completed the tests.

Earlier footage from the traffic stop shows Romo telling a deputy he was leaving a golf course and heading to visit his grandparents. When asked how much he had consumed to drink, the longtime CBS Sports analyst replied, “Zero.”

Police pulled Romo over after alleging he made an unsafe pass while driving on Interstate 43 in Milwaukee. When officers requested that he exit the vehicle, he initially asked to contact his attorney before eventually complying.

After being transported for additional testing, Romo declined to take a preliminary breath test, reportedly telling officers he had been advised by attorneys never to submit to one. Authorities subsequently informed him they would seek a warrant for further testing.

Court records also indicate Romo received a citation for allegedly refusing to take an intoxication test after his arrest.

He was booked into the Milwaukee County Jail before being released later that evening. His initial court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 21.

Under Wisconsin law, a first-offense operating while intoxicated (OWI) case is generally treated as a civil matter rather than a criminal offense and typically carries a financial penalty if the driver is convicted.

Neither Romo nor CBS Sports had publicly commented on the newly released footage as of Wednesday morning.

Social media is split after seeing the footage, with some noting that Romo seemed a bit out of it and others claiming the officers had no cause to arrest him.
