Show Notes
This week, Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about being a stranger in her own kitchen following a busy week of book promotion and touring. As Halloween approaches, the Kardashians cleverly seed *THE* halloween costume of 2026. Is it wrong to dress as your own daughter? Especially when you're maybe the world's most beautiful woman and your daughter is at a very delicate age of adolescence? Do the rules even apply to this lot? Plus, Andrew Johnston joins us from Hollywood with news of a GIRLS reunion and a substitute teacher disaster, all because a woman who didn't receive her medication on time 'hates kids and wanted to f*ck around'. (LOL). Also, should a woman with two impressionable young daughters get a nose job? Finally, there's more bad news for Thomas Markle Sr and Meghan REACTS. x Hosted on Acast.
