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.

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.

1This 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.

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.

This week, Sami, Aleen, and Jordana kick things off with their favorite Olympics moments so far, including the US Women’s gymnastics team’s incredible win and Simone Biles having the last laugh over MyKayla Skinner. Next, we dive into the world of Ballerina Farm, the viral Times article, and trad wife culture in general. Are they that different from any other lifestyle influencer? Onto celeb news, Ben Affleck bought a $20 million mansion while the $60 million one he shares with JLo still languishes on the market. Can they just announce their separation already so we can all move on? In the world of Bravo, Carl Radke announced his new non-alcoholic venue Soft Bar + Cafe, and we have some constructive criticism on the name. Jax Taylor is reportedly getting some help with his mental health, and we’ll be tuning in when season 2 of The Valley comes back to see how he and Brittany are handling their separation. And finally, Bill Maher has a lot of opinions about Taylor and Travis that he shared with none other than the Hawk Tuah girl. Our Betch of the Week is the entire US women’s gymnastics team, and we’re sending the Times journalist for her mean-spirited article.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami jump right into it with the latest Bennifer updates. JLo’s in the Hamptons celebrating her 55th bday with an extravagant Bridgerton-themed bash, while Ben Affleck is on the other side of the country inspiring less-than-flattering headlines about how he might be coping with their alleged separation. In global news, the CrowdStrike outage resulted in mass disruptions for airlines and hospitals, which is a good reminder for Aleen and Sami to get back to work on their bunkers. Next up, the royal family caused a stir with a report that Prince William earned over $30 million last year… no wonder he got such good Taylor Swift seats. And while we’re over in the UK, Matthew Macfayden (aka Tom Wambsgans) did an interview claiming he wasn’t “dishy enough” to play Mr. Darcy, and respectfully, we beg to differ. The Paris Olympics opening ceremony is tomorrow night, and we’ll be tuning in to Celine Dion and Lady Gaga’s La Vie En Rose duet. And finally, Aleen and Jordana share their thoughts on the Presumed Innocent finale. Our Betch of the Week is Matthew Macfayden for being enough for us, and we’re sending the CrowdStrike CEO to the Caymans, but he’s gonna have to suffer through a few canceled flights on his way there.

This week, we’re kicking things off with a huge congrats to Sami for reaching number two on the NYT Best Seller list with Democracy In Retrograde! This week also marks the release of The Tummy Ache Issue on Betches.com, and Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share some of their embarrassing gastric stories. Onto the celeb headlines: Mauricio Umansky was spotted in Mykonos kissing a mystery blonde… Do you think they went to Nammos? And are any of the remaining RHBOH couples actually real? Speaking of Bravo, Tom Sandoval filed a new lawsuit against Ariana, in a mission to keep his Most Hated Man In America title. In other legal news, Alec Baldwin’s criminal trial has been dismissed, which is great news for the TLC show. Across the pond, Kate Middleton made a rare public appearance at Wimbledon, looking gorgeous in purple. Aleen’s determined to attend next year, and Jordana’s taking lessons so she’s practically tournament ready. And randomly, Ozzy Osbourne has had quite enough of Britney Spears’ dancing videos, not that she cares… although low key we did have to unfollow. Finally, we wrap with a segment called You Deserve A Treat, brought to you by Hill’s Pet Nutrition, to go over some self care goals for the coming week. We’re sending Tom Sandoval to the Caymans yet again, because, in Jordana’s words, that guy stinks. Our Betch of the Week is the Princess of Wales for her much deserved standing O at “the” Wimbeldon.

This week, Aleen is back from Greece with a hot take about Mykonos, and an even hotter sunscreen conspiracy theory that she needs Sami and Jordana to weigh in on. Sami’s new book, Democracy In Retrograde, is in high demand in stores *and* at the library (ever heard of it?). In celeb news, Lindsay Hubbard is pregnant and made the announcement in true Lindsay fashion: via a sponsored post. Did Dorinda really spill the news to The Traitors’ producers and get her axed from the show? Speaking of pregnancies, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is expecting a baby with her boyfriend Ken, and we would totally watch their TLC show. Jordana is finally caught up on the Hawk Tuah girl…the American Dream has truly evolved so much in our lifetimes. We’re excited for the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, and a little frustrated by House of the Dragon season 2 (someone please get Jordana a character guide ASAP). And is Ellen DeGeneres actually leaving fame behind after her Netflix special drops? Finally, we wrap with a segment called You Deserve A Treat, brought to you by Hill’s Pet Nutrition, to go over some self care goals for the coming week. We’re sending Nammos Mykonos to the Caymans for bamboozling Aleen, and our Betch of the Week is the Hawk Tuah girl for signing with UTA.

This week, Aleen may be in Greece, but Jordana is looking tan, which according to her dermatologist is *not* a compliment. Sami reveals her meteorology skepticism (climate change is real, but weather apps are fake). Jordana and Sami share their thoughts on Celine Dion’s new documentary… JLo’s doc is feeling more insignificant by the day. Speaking of JLo, a new update suggests she and Ben have actually been separated since March, and Ben has been looking to Jennifer Garner for advice on the situation. Listen to find out what we think that advice actually is. Then, Sami explains Charli XCX and her new album Brat to Jordana, and they discuss their Summer House season 9 predictions. Finally, they wrap with a segment called You Deserve A Treat, brought to you by Hill’s Pet Nutrition, to go over some self care goals for the coming week. Our Betch of the Week is, of course, Celine. And we’re sending Ben Affleck’s publicist to the Caymans to figure out how to make him look less miserable in the tabloids.

Sami’s in LA for VidCon, so Jordana and Aleen are here to discuss all the stories of the week. Jordana kicks things off with a recap of her failed attempt at procuring Eras Tour tix in London. Taylor, if you’re listening, Vivid Seats seriously needs to get their act together. Aleen’s heading to Greece next week for her 5 year wedding anniversary (and 10 year dating anniversary!), and reflects on how long term relationships shape you as a person. Speaking of vacations, JLo was papped flying commercial, which raises the question: how tight *is* money right now in the Bennifer household? If you could have insider info on any celeb’s finances, who would you choose? We’re sending a huge congrats to Mindy Kaling, who surprised everyone with an announcement that her 3rd child was born back in February. How many pre-planned IG posts must she have taken to keep that under wraps? In other celebrity offspring news, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s daughter Suri has dropped her dad’s last name, not long after Shiloh Jolie-Pitt announced plans to do the same. The family drama there might be even more fascinating than JLo’s tax return. Next up, despite his fears about the world tour being ruined, Justin played Madison Square Garden this week to an audience that somehow included Martin Scorsese. And notorious hater Hugh Grant tweeted his love of Taylor Swift after her show at Wembley, where Prince William was also spotting shaking it off - was everyone there except Jordana? Finally, filming has commenced on Freaky Friday 2, and we can’t wait to see it in 2025. Our Silver Star of The Week, brought to you by Heineken, is Prince William for letting loose at the show. And Vivid Seats is getting a one way ticket to the Caymans for their terrible customer service.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami are coming to you from the Spotify studio at Cannes Lions! They kick off the episode with some highlights from the festival, before unpacking Part 2 of the Summer House reunion and the continued Carl and Lindsay drama. In other news, Justin Timberlake has been arrested in the Hamptons for a DWI… This is really going to ruin the world tour. Cayman’s poster boy Armie Hammer is attempting a comeback by reminding everyone he was accused of cannibalism. Maybe he can stay there for a while longer. Joe Alwyn makes a rare public statement about his former relationship with Taylor, and we’re actually not mad at it. Finally, Scooter Braun is officially a manager no more. What is he trying to get ahead of? Listen to hear our theories. Our Silver Star of The Week, brought to you by Heineken, is Joe Alwyn for keeping it so classy. And Justin is getting a time out in the Caymans until he can figure out how to call an Uber.

The Betches are getting ready to head to Cannes next week! They’re ready for a week at Spotify Beach, where Jordana and Jared are going to be on a panel - they’re even on the same flier as John Legend. Helloooooo, legendary. We also hear the Kelce brothers are scheduled to attend too-- will the Betches end up in the presence of Taylor? We’ll report back. Speaking of Taylor, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived aka Matty Healy is engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel, and we have a lot of thoughts, including a niche theory. From one troubling couple to the next– JLO and Ben Affleck are selling their $60 million dollar mansion. Is a divorce imminent? Why couldn’t they have bought a simple $15 million dollar cottage like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?! Has Jen Garner been secretly planting these press stories? Listen for our thoughts. Finally, they wrap up with a Summer House debrief including the Carl/ Lindsay and Amanda/Kyle of it all. Our Silver Star of The Week, brought to you by Heineken is Ciara, because she showed up, looked ethereal, and had Kyle crying. West is taking a time out or maybe an uncomfortable coffee with Ben and JLO.

All 3 betches are together IRL, and we have a lot to discuss today. So much news, so little time. JLO canceled her tour and tbh, we’re not distraught at all over it. Will this save her marriage? Good luck to her PR team. The Baldwins are coming to TLC – yes, you read that correctly. Mark your calendars for 2025. The three give their hot takes on the Traitors cast announcement, and of course we have to talk about the Summer House finale, and the Cheez Its VS Goldfish of it all. Betch of the Week goes to the casting department for Traitors. TLC was closing in as a second Betch of the Week. We’ll have to see how The Baldwins actually is first. Maybe the network will have a renaissance from this.
