LA Gossip Roundup
🕑 Added 2024-04-04 23:54:42 +0000 UTCHi floozies! This week's episode is a bit different from the usual - during my week spent in LA I heard so much gossip from so many people (valet folks, other podcasters, my uber drivers, etc.) that I kept notes of it all and decided to turn it into an episode haha. Next week we'll be back with our regularly scheduled and researched episodes but I hope you enjoy this one! From Diddy gossip from my Uber driver (who personally knew two girls he paid off) to podcaster gossip about Alex Cooper and Meghan Markle, and more!

While I'm not surprised about Trixie... I am actively choosing to live in denial and will pretend I didn't hear that 🙉🤪
Madeline Grace O'Neill
def halsey
Hannah
Ur the hot celebrity that I watch that I think I can be friends with 🫶🏻
Jillian Woj
my guess for one-named female mother singer is halsey. also, i'm devastated to say this, but regarding the "im broke" allegedly cheating male podcaster... my reluctant guess is RB. i love him and his pod a lot, but as you were describing the gossip about him, it just sounded applicable, and then i checked for the apology video in my feed and couldn't find it, supporting your theory about deleting it after he saw that you subscribed to his patreon.
Kirsty Merrett
My guess is fergie…. Shes a mum, she has one name… i cant remember the other clues!
Kirsty Merrett
I got fed up of how much she complained about influencers and then constantly asked for people to follow her on Instagram… ‘girl! You’re an Influencer too!!!! You just think you are better than the rest of us!’ Ps. Full disclosure; I’m an influencer too I guess!
Aida Santos
Not Trixie 😭

we need a skims competitor— there’s no one giving them a run for their money

Noratia
So Tana’s podcat Uncancelled- they have crazy fans. Like the weirdest parasocial fan girls like dave portnoys
holly

Valerie Lopez
Shannon people who are on the wrong side of history i hear you questioning your psyche your good. I think people who fall down this rabbit hole theories dont do nearly as much research you do nor do they question themselves. Please sleep well your making my time go faster at my 9-5.
Camille
That’s what I think, too
Savannah Bertram
Loooong time listener, first time commenter: I was thinking about your thoughts on conspiracy theory deterring from its original meaning. I’ve also been thinking about this a lot recently!! I think it is tied to the word theory, people are throwing that word around like it means nothing. Maybe it’s because I’m currently in grad school and spend my days reading actual peer reviewed theories, but they word theory has lost it’s meaning online. Think of the fashion trends, ‘pop of red theory,’ ‘wrong shoe theory,’ and more. Just because a person puts red somewhere you wouldn’t expect red or puts on tennis shoes with a dress doesn’t make it a theory. People are placing the word theory with the word ‘thought’ or ‘idea.’ Like….imagine how much less freaky the situation would be with you and the reporter if people were presenting their silly masked singer, bangs, and BBLs as ideas or thoughts instead. lol I know it’s not that deep, but it is also deep at the same time because understanding the words people are using ties to common societal literacy as a whole.
taylorslikeumwife
Cheated on his girlfriend or something
grace
& they were literally suing each other!!
Madeira
I feel like I missed something… what did enty do?
Meghan O'Hara
In the new episode of quiet on set drakes says something like 'I know what it feels like to have the internet attack you over nothing' with an emphasis on the 'nothing.' It made me feel uncomfortable. I wonder what the details were that he feels okay to be so dismissive of it all.
Niki
Amanda Montell was a bit annoying dkm😭 I listed to her podcast then read her book & stopped listened bc of how much she talked about herself
Miranda 🤍
The artist has to be Halsey, right?
Emily
it’s pronounced naaz :)
Melissa E
Could you talk about the eclipse that’s happening and how there’s conspiracy’s, and coincidences like testing of the CERN particle accelerator. I think it’d be fun!
Grem Boa
Lmfao Dana White being the best tipper was not what I’d ever expect from him.
MJ
I’ve been working in private aviation for 9 years now.. if you want me to answer any questions, i have them! Plus I’ve done flights for almost every celebrity and politician! And flight for Taylor and Karlie lol
Alex
also keep in mind sounds like a cult did an episode bashing gaylor
Violet
Only the bagel has the sauce at McDonalds. I love the sauce 🥲
Meg
I think people are guessing Halsey!
Morgan
Came here to see if anyone had guessed the one named radio singer yet but I’m SOL
Morgan
^^^ sometimes I forget we aren’t friends
Alex
thanks to you and christy literally all i can think of when i hear about dave portnoy is “pile driving”😭
Alex
Enty-taining
RJ
Lol it sounds like christys place is giving rich auntie vibes!
Ami Trivedi
You would like cancelled, it gives the 2 hot friends vibe
Briana
Is it Morgan?
Kat S
Yes!! Echoing the comments here that you ARE our hot online podcast friend Shannon!🩷
smasch
Shannon you the real MVP - our hot online friend that we’d actually want to be friends with IRL because you’re funny, beautiful, and into all the shit we all love. Also you build/hype up your friends & colleagues in the (podcast) industry.
Cori Bogle
Love this format of episode! Also, a kind clarification - Nas is pronounced like “Nos” if that makes sense! 🫶🏼
Jacqueline
We definitely all came to the same conclusion about Halsey btw! Thats interesting.
Annie
Genuinely asking- can you not tell the wired reporter that you are no longer willing to be quoted in the article? Like put that into writing so that including you would maybe feel like it could be more trouble than it’s worth? ETA- I don’t think you’re crazy, but given what “conspiracy” now evokes, a rebrand may not be a bad idea. I don’t know about “myth” or “legend,” the government ones are interesting and important to look at (given what has proven to be true). Or maybe have myths/legends for mermaids and such then another word for the prince andrew-esque episodes??
Jacqueline
Thank you for the underwear review 😊 I have one comfortable pair and at this point thought I would have to start making my own. Im so desperate and hate the idea of giving money to Kim K but Im desperate.
Jacqueline
I would also flake on people for Charlize
JMC
lol!!! Yes, breakfast is expensive here!!
Traumachica
a little tea on charlize theron, she on and off dates this guy she knows from s.africa who is seriously nothing special, and he will date women around LA like for months at a time, and then abandon them when charlize calls him to go w her to like paris fashion week and stuff. LMAO i love living in LA
karisma calhoun
omggg love this episode but I have a little tea about Kanye. I work at a restaurant and our chef used to work at an expensive restaurant in Vegas and said Kanye came in and demanded something off menu, he literally walked away and didn’t pay his tab. His manager or assistant had to come back and pay it hours later, didn’t tip.
Bridget Bauer
That reporter takes himself a little too seriously lol
L
P. diddy was also the founder/ceo of bad boy records he signed Biggie aka Notorious BIG which was really started his whole career/wealth

Valia
Can you do a food network blind items episode? All those chefs are friends & it would be fun to see what’s going on behind the scenes
Polly Vargatoth
I LOVE this episode! Feels you're catching me up over drinks 🥂
Amy Magnus
Who is the sleazy podcaster?!?!?
Giuliette
Love this gossip session 🤩 honestly the best podcaster is you ! I could listen to your eps all day lmao
Tiresi Kirbae
That’s who I thought as well 😂😭
Gretchen Piening
Related but I just saw your TikTok of “gossip we all just accept.” May I add to the mix of Nashville knowns about a certain A+ artist at the moment with an STD he spreads like wildfire…
✨Riley✨
im rlly blowin up the comments tonight 🫣🫣
✨Riley✨
omg Shannon u r so pretty!! remember YOU ARE the hot girl!! YOU wouldn’t be friends with Alex Cooper, you are the hawt girlie!! 😍🥰🫶🏻🫶🏻😙
✨Riley✨

✨Riley✨

✨Riley✨
elon musk and ryan seacrest are dating????!!???
Lily
This episode was fantastic, Shannon! It felt like having a gossip session with a friend. There totally should be an Enty snark page because that would be so entertaining.
Lily
Right?! Manifesting is suddenly a conspiracy theory?! This book sounds terrible.
Michelle
Halsey ❤️
Lydia Egan
Imo a book contesting the entire idea of a conspiracy theory could be fascinating but not when it feels like there’s not even a grounded definition of ‘conspiracy theory’, it feels like rn the word itself is a charged word!
Savannah Martin
i of course love your deep dive & researched episodes but i also love ones like this, it feels like shooting the shit with my friend 😎
Alex N
I also think Halsey. Her song strange love maybe references this a little bit?
Averie
PS I don’t think you’re crazy, think a lot of liberals get off on virtue signaling & academically belittling people (I am liberal but like to understand the other side). It’s ignorant not to consider a grain of truth that inspired the crazy conspiracy theories, and the root of most is (rightful) mistrust of people in power
Averie
Sad that the Fluently Forward x Sounds Like a Cult collab seems to have been bumpy, but have to agree she has little nuance about real conspiracies or pop psychology. I love her podcast but it’s kinda academic pick me. You’re Wrong About is another pod whose take about human trafficking I highly disagree with - they focus on it only being “abduction” stories & basically debunk it as a hoax despite countless cases of it being true especially in Hollywood???
MarsLander
LOVED Megan & Liz- what a fantastic episode! The three of you had great energy. Hope you have them back some day. My guess is that the blind item chanteuse is none other than Halsey. Which, if I guessed correctly, rings completely true to me.
xknowsall
FUCKING CRYINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! Let’s get you a partnership with California closets!!!!!
xknowsall
Clarification bc I remember the convo - Audrina is nice but a typical white republican woman who was prob storming the capital on Jan 6 🤪
Kayla R
HALSEY?!
Kathryn
Guessing Halsey lol she gives me major 2016 vibes
Savannah Walker
This checks out.. I used to see so many people posting call her daddy on their story and now I only know one person that actively listens to her
Pump Pumptini
I was THIRSTY as hell waiting for a new drop
