Chaotic Celebrity Breakups

Chaotic Celebrity Breakups

Author: Pop Culture Junkie March 28, 2024 Duration: 52:42
This week, Shauna tells the Junkies about the series Shogun, and that she’s been to Japan twice, not that she’s bragging. Olivia gives us all the horrifying details from the Nickelodeon and Dan Schneider expose series Quiet on the Set (and here’s a trigger warning because it includes sexual violence against children), and Nicole goes up to bat with a review of The Hill, a baseball movie starring Dennis Quaid. Then it’s time to dish on each Junkie’s pick for the most chaotic celebrity breakup in recent memory. Shauna chose the on-again/off-again setside romance of Twilight’s Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and she’s Team Bella all the way. Nicole reaches way back to the early days of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to tell of the Kris and Caitlyn Jenner divorce, which leads to a game of ‘Who is Khloe’s Dad?’ Finally, Olivia pulls at the red strings of her conspiracy board to connect the players involved in the messy end of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s relationship.
