Glamorous Trash: A Celebrity Memoir Podcast

Get a glimpse of our bonus content in this newly released ep where Chelsea is joined by Tess Barker and Babs Gray, the brilliant minds behind the podcasts Britney's Gram and Toxic: The Britney Spears Story, to go on a wild ride into Jamie Lynn Spears' memoir, “Things I Should Have Said.” They take a critical look at Jamie Lynn's portrayal of her sister Britney, their tumultuous family life, the impact of Britney's conservatorship, and what happens when your horrid parents tell you that you’re just as good of a singer as your sister Britney Spears, perhaps you’re even better.

With Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Renee Raap, Charlie XCX and Taylor Swift dominating the headlines this summer there's so much to get into. Who is horny for who? What does "sapphic" mean? Why is the media sleeping on Tinashe and Normani? How did Chappell get so big so fast? And are our pop girlies feuding? Not to mention... do we miss feuds? I think we do?? Producer Kristina Lopez and Associate Producer Jerrin Padre join Chelsea for a retrospective, celebrating how queer and empowered our artists are now, and just how much has changed since 2004, when icons like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Mandy Moore and Pink were our reigning divas.

Chelsea and Holly Laurent (Mega podcast co-host) embark on a horny (yet also biblical) journey into the electrifying world of Donna Summer, the ‘70s Disco Queen. They discover the wild backstories behind Donna's legendary hits, from "Love To Love You Baby" to "She Works Hard for the Money," and her infamous recording session with Barbra Streisand for “No More Tears (Enough is Enough).” Chelsea and Holly discuss Donna's religious turn and reflect on their own intense relationships with religion and mysticism. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to Donna Summer's music, buckle the hell up, because it's about to get weird.

Chelsea and Elizabeth Day (How to Fail) take a hard look at two often compared memoirs: Tara Westover’s 2018 memoir Educated, and Jeannette Wall’s 2005 memoir The Glass Castle. The Glass Castle was accepted as a true recounting of a dysfunctional childhood, while Tara Westover was accused of making up or exaggerating her accounts of her family in Educated. Why would one be believed unquestioningly, and one be controversial? Is it the internet’s fault? Backlash to the #MeToo movement in 2018? Or does our culture have a problem with women who cut ties with their families?

Show Notes:

• Jeannette Walls’ The Glass Castle 
• Tara Westover’s Educated
• LaRee Westover’s Educating

Chelsea and Patty Lin (Breaking Bad, Friends) break down the cautionary tale that is Joyce Maynard’s 1998 memoir At Home in the World.

Salinger, to the backlash she faced when she finally told her story, to a truly strange story of adopting two daughters and then dissolving the adoption, this is a meta-look at the effects of telling your story. Plus, Patty Lin talks about her own memoir, End Credits: How I Broke Up With Hollywood.

We’ve rebranded! The content of the podcast is staying the same, but the name is changing!

For 3 years we have recapped and discussed celebrity memoirs.

Chelsea and New Mexico bestie Molly Thornton journey through Minka Kelly’s brand-new memoir Tell Me Everything. From her remarkable survival growing up with her unstable single mom, to high school brawls, to reuniting with her Aerosmith guitarist father (and then getting kicked out of his house), Minka’s story is a stunning revelation.

Chelsea and Danielle Robay (PrettySmart, E!’s While You Were Streaming) wade through Kelly Ripa’s 2022 memoir Live Wire. From Mark Consuelos love stories to cringy LLC names to some masterful Regis shade, Kelly doesn’t dish it all, but we have a good time anyway.

Season 4 of Love Is Blind just ended, and Chelsea’s got some yelling to do about Mean Girls and bullying! In this episode she catches everyone up on the most important moments of this delightfully trashy show, and what they reveal about our culture and discourse.

We're calling these short episodes: Glamorous Trash Talk. There are so many things in this world that are Glamorous Trash:

Going to the library to read People Magazine

Sneaking a flask into the Oscars

Publishing a podcast about celebrity memoirs that ALSO breaks down structural misogyny 

If you like these eps, every once in a while Chelsea will bring you another Glamorous Trash Talk episode - a tangent on a topic that is both high and low, meaningful and fun, glamorous and trashy.

Chelsea believes The Bachelor franchise is a cultural clock on America telling us what time it is - and damn, it's always behind! In this episode she dishes her hot bachelor takes and what she thinks this season with boring-ass Zach can tell us about American politics.
