Saying Goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw

This week, Sami fills Aleen and Jordana in on her experience at Charli XCX and Troye Sivan’s Sweat tour at MSG featuring Lorde and Addison Rae, and they get into the differences between the current grunge vs Barbie pop girl aesthetics. Next, Jordana’s been watching a few things that hit Netflix this week, and she has *thoughts*. First up, her review of Ellen Degeneres’ new and final comedy special (who let her believe this was the material to go out on?) Then, they recap of some of the updates in the Diddy case - keep an eye out for a deeper dive coming soon. Speaking of true crime, the new season of Monster hit Netflix this week, with The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, and Jordana gets into whether or not it nailed the tone… Ryan Murphy might need to take a step back from that genre as a whole. And finally, Jordana shares something worthy of a recommendation: the documentary Into The Fire: The Lost Daughter. We’re sending Ryan Murphy to the Caymans for his Menendez misstep, and our Betches of the week are Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, Lorde, and Addison Rae.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami talk about their recent experience playing tennis together, and Sami walks them through the high drama of her HOA. Then, they share their thoughts on the new Sopranos documentary Wise Guy, season 2 of Tell Me Lies, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Onto the headlines, Diddy was arrested this week and is being held without bail, and 50 Cent was quick to roast him on social media (too soon?). J Lo and Ben were spotted *allegedly* getting cozy at brunch, and it’s giving us whiplash. And finally, Kate Middleton has returned to her royal duties after completing her cancer treatment, and Jordana, Sami, and Aleen unpack the eerie video she released last week to announce the good news. Our Betch Of The Week is MomTok’s own Taylor Frankie Paul, and we’re sending Ben and J Lo to the Caymans yet again, because we’ve had enough. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Sami, Aleen, and Jordana catch up on airplane shoe etiquette (on or off in the bathroom?) before diving into last night’s VMAs, from live performances to fashion choices. Taylor swept for Fortnight, but we’re not buying it as the legitimate Song of the Summer. Meanwhile, Taylor and Travis are doing everything in their power to make us forget about that publicity breakup conspiracy document, and honestly… it’s kind of working. In related billionaire news, Selena Gomez officially joined the club this week, with the success of Rare Beauty. We love a self-made woman, and we will be sat for her upcoming film Emilia Perez. Up at TIFF, JLo and Matt Damon were spotted having an intense conversation while holding hands at the after party for Unstoppable, which stars JLo and is produced by Matt and Ben’s production company. What could they have been talking about? And finally, Netflix’s The Perfect Couple dropped this week and we have… critiques (except for Dakota Fanning, who was perfect). Listen for the full rundown on why it didn’t work for us. Our Betch of the Week is Selena, and we’re packing the plane to the Caymans with the writers room of The Perfect Couple.

This week, we kick things off with Jordana’s peak and pit of France, Aleen’s celeb citing at Oh, Mary on Broadway, and Sami’s anniversary gift dilemma. Then, they catch up on their US Open experiences before sharing an exciting announcement: Betches Sports has officially launched on the Betches website! If you’ve ever felt left out by most mainstream sports coverage, Betches Sports is here to change the narrative, starting with The Betchdel Test. Speaking of sports, a (probably fake) document claiming to be Taylor and Travis’ breakup plan leaked on Snapchat this week, and Sami shares a few conspiracy theories of her own. And finally, Jordana is fully obsessed with Chappell Roan and her IDGAF*ckyness. Come back next week for their thoughts on the new season of Tell Me Lies once Aleen catches up. “Emily” from the leaked Tay/Trav Snapchat is simultaneously our Betch of the Week and getting sent to the Caymans, because whoever orchestrated this mess deserves it.

This week, Jordana’s in France, but Sami is back from DC and catches Aleen up on her time at the DNC, including those Beyoncé rumors. Aleen shares news of her upcoming move and a fun interior decorating discovery with her daughter. The much-anticipated 2nd season of Tell Me Lies is dropping next week, but until then, Aleen is loving Industry (aka X-rated Suits). Bethany Frankel had a cringeworthy run-in with Danielle Olivera in the Hamptons and acted like she was too old to know who she was, but Sami and Aleen aren’t convinced. Brittany Cartwright filed for divorce from Jax Taylor this week, which is yet another reason to tune in to season 2 of The Valley. And what is going on with the Kardashian-Jenners and their cryptic posts about tea? Are they launching a new product… or a podcast? Most importantly, it looks like Aleen may have been right about Kylie and Timmy. In other news, Sabrina Carpenter’s new album is on repeat, but are she and Barry Keoghan still together (or were they ever? It’s giving PR relationship). Congrats are in order for Hailey and Justin Bieber’s new baby Jack Blues, and a tentative congrats to Lana Del Rey on her new relationship… do you think they met on one of his alligator tours? Ben Affleck also sparked relationship rumors with Kick Kennedy, which took us all down yet another weird RFK animal horror story. Our Betch of the Week is Lana for being one of the realest in the game, and we’re sending Armie Hammer right back to the Caymans to escape the LA gas prices. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Sami is away at the Bravocon of politics (aka the DNC), so Aleen and Jordana are here to cover this week’s headlines. Aleen kicks things off with her recent online shopping headache, before they dive into celeb news. First up, J Lo has finally filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on the 2nd anniversary of their Georgia wedding, while Ben is in New Haven with the other Jen dropping their daughter off at Yale. Was This Is Me…Now their 2nd Gigli? And how could they not have a prenup? Next, is the “demure” trend over or are we just too old to participate? Either way, we’re happy for Jools Lebron’s viral hit. Speaking of successful women in media, Alex Cooper of Call Her Daddy fame inked a massive deal with SiriusXM. Just don’t call her the female Joe Rogan. And finally, despite rumors to the contrary and those of us (Jordana) who didn’t even know they were together to begin with, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are still very much engaged, if her massive emerald ring is any indication. We’re sending Fashion Bunker to the Caymans to sort out their customer service, and our very demure, very mindful, very cutesy Betch of the Week is Jools Lebron. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Sami, Jordana, and Aleen wish Ben Affleck a very happy 52nd birthday, and share their theories on JLo’s recent public sightings with Ben and Jen Garner’s kids. Then, they dive back in to the continuing drama around It Ends With Us. Who is winning the PR war? Does rude behavior in an interview mean Blake is a true mean girl, or are her jokes just not landing? Next, several people have been arrested in connection with Matthew Perry’s death, including two of his doctors. We’ll be keeping an eye on the case as it develops. In true crime news, Jordana watched Netflix’s new Laci Peterson docuseries, and gives Aleen and Sami a refresher on the case. Our Betch of the Week is Lily Collins, because we can’t wait to get home and watch the new season of Emily in Paris, and we’re sending Blake, Ryan, and Justin to the Caymans to do a team building exercise together.

This week, Sami, Jordana, and Aleen kick things off with two very important discussions: which fast food chicken place is the best, and would you have chosen Big or Aiden in the SATC universe? In other news, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have been all over social media with their respective films’ press tours. Is Blake Lively a “crown straightener,” or was she mean to Leighton Meester in the Gossip Girl days? Speaking of cast feuds, what is going on with Justin Baldoni versus everyone else in It Ends With Us? He’s almost suspiciously emotionally intelligent. Meanwhile, why didn’t Ryan Reynolds acknowledge Matthew Macfadyen in any of his Deadpool & Wolverine posts? And why hasn’t anyone except Aleen noticed? Then, Jordana and Aleen share their thoughts on the House of the Dragon finale (spoiler: Aleen is pissed), and Jordana catches Aleen and Sami up on all the RHONJ finale drama. Our Betch of the Week is Blake, and we’re sending Luis Ruelas to the Caymans for saying he hopes Margaret Joseph’s son suffers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
