Description


Our lives can be crazy, but you can take a break from it all with Wondery’s new series, Even the Rich, where co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams pull back the curtain and chat about someone else’s craziness for a change. They tell stories about some of the greatest family dynasties in history, from the Murdochs to the Royals to the Carters (Jay-Z and Beyoncé, that is). Because as Queen Elizabeth once said, “A good gossip is a wonderful tonic.”

Time to dust off those gavels, Richies. The court of “Rich and Weekly” is now in session. First, we have the latest in the never ending, always-twisting legal saga between “It Ends with Us” stars, Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. He slapped her with a $400 million suit, and is now dragging Blake’s hubby, Ryan Reynolds, into the fray too! While they’re all still battling it out, Prince Harry just scored a legal victory across the pond. And closing things out, “your favorite artist’s favorite artist,” Chappell Roan, sat down for a revealing interview where she talks about how she’s handling her wild rise to fame. All we can say is, “Good Luck, Babe!”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Viola Davis’ childhood was far from ideal. Struggling with poverty and racism, the “Fences” star’s very humble beginnings were tough, but instilled a fire in her that propelled Viola to where she is today. And that is a pretty remarkable place. Not only is she regarded as one of her generation’s greatest actors (hello, EGOT!), she’s also become a role model for Black women everywhere. And for that, she deserves all the flowers.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Happy New Year, Richies! Given that we resolve to start living our best lives this time of year, we thought we’d focus on a star who’s always done that. As an actor in movies like “Coming Home” and “9 to 5,” Jane Fonda has put social justice issues front and center. But it’s her lifelong work as an activist that’s set her apart from Hollywood’s other A-listers...even though she’s taken a lot of heat - and spent some time in the slammer - for it. And now, even in her 80s, this iconoclast is still fighting the good fight and proving she’s still a rebel with a cause.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Happy New Year, Richies! We’re ringing in 2025 the same way we rang out 2024 - with celebrity lawsuits. This time, from Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. They have everything to do with the never-ending “It Ends with Us” drama. (Richies, believe us when we tell you, it’s a SAGA.) After we break that story down, we have all the highs (and lows) from Sunday’s Golden Globes, including what everyone’s saying about first-time host, Nikki Glaser! And finally, we’ll talk about all the blowback Stephen “tWitch” Boss’s widow, Allison Holker, is getting over some very private info she’s sharing about him in her new memoir, “This Far.”And Richies, our hearts go out to everyone who’s being affected by the devastating California wildfires.

With the holiday season in full swing, we’re talking about one of the reigning queens of Christmas, Kelly Clarkson. (Relax, Mariah Carey fans, we said ""one of..."") The road to stardom for the OG “American Idol” hitmaker has not been easy.

Pedro Pascal is a testament to persistence. When he was just a baby, his family fled Chile for America. As a young man, he decided he wanted to be a movie star, and began that journey.

In spite of those challenges and a devastating loss, “The Last of Us” and “Gladiator II” star has not only prevailed, but he's become one of Hollywood’s hottest leading men.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamsss.

Richies, we’ve got a double dose of celeb family news today. First, it looks like Britney Spears and her youngest son Jayden have reunited. But people who claim to be friends of the “Toxic” singer are suspicious about why Jayden is reaching out after not seeing his mom in years. Then, Megan Fox and MGK are having a baby! We’ve got all the details on her very Megan Fox-style pregnancy announcement. And then, we round things out with a “sexy” story courtesy of People magazine. They just named John Krasinski as “Sexiest Man Alive.” Unfortunately, people aren’t loving their choice of the former “The Office” star.

I just wanted to drop a quick note to say how much I’m enjoying ‘Even the Rich’! The way you delve into the lives of iconic figures with such depth and nuance is truly impressive. I love the combination of engaging storytelling and insightful analysis—it's like getting a backstage pass to history. https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/packaging-perfection-5799676/episodes/evolution-of-custom-packaging-218485801

they got a little bit victim-blamey in this episode. "Jen doesn't seem like the kind of person who would stick around if Brad behaved abusively" - a lot of very strong women end up in abusive relationships. this is super well documented. they also said that they think he was only abusive to Angelina, essentially because "she drove him crazy". fyi that's a common argument made by abusers. even if someone makes you super angry, it's never an excuse to be abusive. it's not her fault.

Angelina is not a victim. She's been a hot mess most of her life and no wilted flower. Her bad and cruel choices are a reflection of her lack of empathy. She's tried to ruin Pitt with her revenge lawsuits and actions, yet she's not winning awards for portraying herself as a victim. I'm not buying it, yet sadly, this podcast is. No bueno

It's such bullshit to fire someone for failing a drug test if their performance is not adversely affected... Shouldn't actual work performance count more than a piss stick? What people do outside of work is none of their employer's business... as long as it doesn't affect their work.

I don't know if you girls read the reviews but I will pitch in an idea for future episodes.this might not be your ideal topic , but as a family and personality I think Carol Shelby was quite interesting.the way he became famous was very much with modifying cars but the human side is also quite interesting. maybe you can look into it
