This week, we have a pair of women trailblazers, as well as two often-requested subjects. First up, Stacie has the marriage and divorce of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and her now ex-husband, Todd Palin. We’re not sure why they split, but we take a second look at some of how she was treated and check in on the troubled adulthoods of some of the next generation of Palins. Then, Alicia has the incredible-but-true story of entertainment legend Josephine Baker, a woman who did every famous person cliche first, while also spending World War II as a spy coordinating activities for the French Resistance.

Ready for a glimpse at Hollywood, old and new? First up, Alicia has a story so trashy that it erased a two-time Academy Award winner from Hollywood history: Gloria Grahame. At one point, she was married to her ex-son-in-law which meant that one of her four ex-husbands was her father-in-law. Yeah, it’s like that.Then, Stacie has the much requested youthful marriage and divorce of certified Hollywood beautiful people Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe.

This week, we’re taking a couple of heroes and… well, you’ll see. First up: Stacie has the trashy side of physics genius and icon Albert Einstein, who married twice but never let a thing like matrimony hold him back. Then, Alicia has screen legend Charlie Chaplin. His four marriages typify the line from Dazed and Confused, “I get older, they stay the same age.”Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

You asked, and we are powerless to resist your wishes: It’s the Kardashians! Alicia lays the groundwork with the story of matriarch Kris’s marriage to Robert Kardashian, their trashy divorce, and her subsequent marriage to, and divorce from, Caitlyn Jenner. Alicia also covers the eldest Kardashian child, Kourtney.Then, Stacie rounds out the back half with the story of Kim’s sex tape, three marriages, and two divorces, Khloe’s love for very tall men, and Rob’s trashy co-parenting relationship with his ex-fiance, Blac Chyna.We hope you enjoy our 30,000-foot survey of Kardtrashistan.Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

We’re going a little off-brand this week with a few not-trashy divorces, plus one that kind of was. First up, Alicia has the three marriages and divorces of Jane Fonda. It was her 1973 split from filmmaker Roger Vadim that had a lot of trash, but after closing things out with third husband Ted Turner, she decided she was ready for a few decades of me-time.Then, Stacie has the story of America’s coolest blended family: Lisa Bonet, her ex-husband Lenny Kravitz, and her husband Jason Momoa. While the Bonet-Kravitz marriage only lasted a few years, their post-divorce affection for each other continues to inspire. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, our intrepid podcasters decided to take a little break to celebrate Stacie’s birthday.

Sometimes a Trashy Divorce story is just a gateway to something much more delightfully awful! This week, Stacie has the trashy marriage and divorce (and on and on) of actress and model Pamela Anderson and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. But also: there’s a heist, some yak fur, a sex tape, and biker gangs terrorizing the porn industry! Seriously, this one goes places.Then, Alicia has the four loves and losses of Lisa Marie Presley. After a quickie divorce from her first marriage so she could wed Michael Jackson, and then a quickie marriage to Nicolas Cage, her first ex-husband is still one of her closest friends, and even played best man in her fourth wedding.

This week, we get up close and personal with Henry VIII’s sister, and deep dive into a very trashy listener request! Alicia has the three marriages of Margaret Tudor: daughter of Henry VII, one-time Queen of Scotland, legitimate Catholic divorcee, and mother of Scotland’s James V. Margaret’s story scandalized Christendom, at least until her brother lost his freaking mind.Speaking of dudes losing their minds, Stacie has the very not-funny story of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. Their brief marriage ended in 2016 in a flurry of monstrous abuse allegations against Johnny Depp, and their continuing legal feud has only made the story uglier. Honestly, we’re a little worried about everyone in this story. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we’re putting a philandering British Prime Minister and a scion of Hollywood royalty under the Trashy Divorces microscope. Stacie has all the deets on Boris Johnson, a man who won’t say how many children he’s fathered, but has certainly mastered the art of failing upwards. Then, Alicia takes us back to the Golden Age of Hollywood for the first marriage and divorce of diva and screen legend Joan Crawford, to Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we’re taking a look at a couple of American originals. Tennis legend Billie Jean King married her best friend Larry when they were a couple of lovestruck kids bonding over a tennis net. Alicia has the decidedly not trashy story of how Billie Jean came to terms with her sexuality, and how Larry supported her every step of the way. Though divorced, the pair remain permanent friends.Then Stacie hops on the Trashy Divorces time machine to take us back to the 19th century with the bonzo story of Victoria Woodhull, America’s first female presidential candidate. Was she the most successful con artist of her day, or a medium and social reformer driven by her strong ideals? Honestly, we don’t have any idea.Related: Here’s the Henry Ward Beecher story on Patreon (paywall-free) that first got Stacie onto Victoria Woodhull. Learn more about your ad choices.

As the musical Cabaret says, “What good is sitting alone in your room? Come to the Cabaret!” This week, we have the stories of two people inhabiting a role: Luann de Lesseps, the Countess of Real Housewives of New York, and legendary actor and all around dapper fella Cary Grant. Stacie has the trashy Housewives tale of a young American who married into, and then divorced out of, European nobility, while Alicia spills some tea about Archibald Leach, who left England to reinvent himself in New York, and then conquered Hollywood as Cary Grant.Music, sources, and more at trashydivorces.com.Stacie’s Receipts ‘Real Housewife’ De Lesseps Will Soon Be a Wife No Longer (NYT profile) Royal breakup for ‘Real’ Housewife LuAnn de Lesseps in Royal Divorce ‘Shocker’ – Slideshow – Daily Intel Count ‘Housewife’ Couple Out ‘Real Housewives’ LuAnn de Lesseps: ‘SVU’ role is part of her ‘second chance’ at life All the Photos From RHONY’s Luann de Lesseps and Tom D’Agostino Jr.’s Wedding Luann Details The Full Story Behind Her Arrest On RHONY ‘Real Housewives of New York’ star Luann de Lesseps strikes plea dealAlicia’s ReceiptsCary Grant’s Best Moments in Arsenic and Old LaceCary Grant Was Gay/Bi, says friend Orry-KellyUncovering Orry Kelly – Gillian ArmstrongDyan Cannon Talks About Cary GrantA different side of Cary Grant Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s listener request time! This week, Stacie covers filmmaker James Cameron, who spent much of his adult life engaging in something like serial monogamy and abusing the heck out of his subordinates. When he wasn’t making actors pee in wetsuits, he was marrying and divorcing in quick succession, most notably to Terminator actress Linda Hamilton. Then, Alicia puts some realism into the man, the myth, the legend, John Lennon. Turns out that the voice of a generation was pretty awful in his first marital go-round.Music, sources, and more at trashydivorces.com.Stacie’s ReceiptsJames Cameron: Interviews (Conversations with Filmmakers Series), edited by Brent Dunham.

This week, we take a look at two pretty singular individuals who might have been better off staying single. First up, Alicia has the shockingly trashy story of American architectural master Frank Lloyd Wright. This one really has everything: tons of dirtbag behavior, horrific true crime, and another one of those “great men” whose personal lives are garbage.In a similar vein, Stacie remembers the 2009 cheating scandal that temporarily swamped golf legend-in-his-own-time Tiger Woods. No, he wasn’t cheating at golf. He was cheating on his wife, with basically every woman he’d ever met. Once the news broke, wife Elin Nordegren may or may not have taken out her rage with a golf club to their Cadillac Escalade.Music, sources, and more at trashydivorces.com.

We’re off this week, but wanted to check in with thanks, trashcandy, and some ideas that might help you disconnect from all the anxiety.Check out our catalog of Patreon stories pulled from the paywall, for your listening enjoyment: bit.ly/trashcandyquarantineStacie recommends Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague, by Geraldine Brooks. It’s based on the true story of an English village that, back in 1666, way before anyone understood viruses, self-quarantined after plague broke out in the community. Fair warning, this is not light reading, so use your judgment.Alicia, much more wisely, recommends Unlocking Us, the new podcast by OG shero Brene Brown. This is probably a more soothing option than Stacie’s weird book recommendation.Then, we drop a few hints about Season 6, which begins next Sunday, April 5. Thanks so much for being part of the Trashy Divorces community. Stay safe, keep it trashy, and we’ll talk next week! Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the end of Season 5 and another host’s choice edition of Trashy Divorces!

It’s all Judy Garland, all the time! This week, Stacie kicks us off with the mysterious and incredibly brief marriage between actress Renee Zellweger (who just won Best Actress for Judy) and country star Kenny Chesney. They tied the knot after knowing each other just five months, and when Renee filed to annul the marriage for “fraud” four months later, the media turned an ugly eye to Kenny.Then, Alicia has the heartbreaking story of Trashy Divorces All-Star Judy Garland, whose five marriages and four divorces were probably a predictable outcome of the horrifying ways she was mistreated as a child.Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

The Mia Farrow-Frank Sinatra marriage and divorce is a story with surprising right-now resonance. Alicia shares the tale of how a very young Mia Farrow met and fell in love with Frank, who was expecting a very different kind of wife than he got. There’s also a cat.Then, Stacie brings us the story of another Trashy Divorces All-Star, Larry King, whose seven wives, eight marriages, and, now, eight divorces make him a real contender for some kind of themed prize we’re planning on inventing at some point.Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

This week in our Ocean’s Eleven season, we take a look at the two Tess Oceans. In 1960, the Rat Pack – plus Angie Dickinson – starred in a heist flick called Ocean’s 11. In 2001, a more modern set of actors, including Julia Roberts, built a new Ocean’s franchise. Both women portrayed mastermind Danny Ocean’s estranged or former wife.Alicia has all the Rat Pack details of screen legend Angie Dickinson’s marriage to and divorce from musician and songwriter Burt Bacharach. Stacie has Julia Roberts’s early forays into love, including her short marriage to musician and actor Lyle Lovett.Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

You can’t talk Sinatra without eventually talking about some Kennedy trash, so in week four of Ocean's Eleven: 12 Degrees of Frank Sinatra, Alicia brings us the first ever Kennedy divorce. Patricia Kennedy Lawford, sister to JFK, RFK, and Ted, married Hollywood heartthrob Peter Lawford and probably expected he'd settle down. He did not, and after years of putting up with his addictions and affairs, she divorced him in 1966.Then, Stacie has Kennedy Divorces: The Next Generation, with the extremely trashy behavior of bodybuilder, actor, and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, before and during his 25-year-long marriage to Maria Shriver, niece of JFK, RFK, Ted, and Patricia. Did you stock up on soap? You may want to run to the store, because you're going to feel dirty after this one.Can't get enough #trashcandy?

Alicia’s been tangling the web, but you may not be ready for the trashy affair, marriage, affairs, and divorce of Frank Sinatra and his second wife, movie legend Ava Gardner. It’s our third installment of Ocean’s 11: Twelve Degrees of Frank Sinatra, and this one’s got all the #trashcandy.Then, it’s Dolly Parton’s birthday today, and to honor the queen of our hearts, we get into the start of her career, when country superstar Porter Wagoner plucked her from obscurity to be his “Girl Singer.” Seven years later, her split from him drove him off the stage and into a courtroom, but Dolly would always love him anyway.Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

For our second dive into the Ocean's Eleven: 12 Degrees of Frank Sinatra season, Stacie has the Rat Pack-adjacent comedian and original King of Late Night, Johnny Carson. He was a private person who was possibly America's most beloved and public figure for three decades. His three divorces – and final, apparently happy marriage, reveal the split-screen that was his life.Then, Alicia has the tragic early years of Ava Gardner: her rural North Carolina upbringing, her discovery by the MGM star machine, and her first marriages, to Mickey Rooney and Artie Shaw. It's all prelude to her final, tumultuous marriage to Sinatra, which is coming up later this season.Can't get enough #trashcandy?

It’s the #trashpack, y'all! For our fifth season launch, Alicia is deep-diving into Frank Sinatra’s trashy life and loves. This week we kick off with Ol’ Blue Eyes’s first marriage and divorce to Nancy Barbato; Nancy Senior, if you will. Are you ready for "Ocean’s 11: 12 Degrees of Frank Sinatra?"Then, Stacie has the surprisingly trashy tale of Charles Dickens's public abandonment of his wife of 22 years and the secret, 13-year-long affair that he conducted with a young actress throughout the rest of his life. Turns out that so-called "Great Men" only hold up if their followers are willing to keep their secrets.Receipts:The Invisible Woman: The Story of Charles Dickens and Nelly Ternan, by Claire TomalinThe film version of The Invisible Woman, starring Felicity Jones and Ralph FiennesAdvertise with Hemlock CreativesWe are growing our show offerings!

We’re hopping into our time machine and heading back to merry olde England, circa 1560, to take a look at the original Staircase Murder. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, Bess held the affection of many men, but pony boy Robert Dudley found his feelings reciprocated. Until his wife Amy Robsart was found dead at the foot of a staircase, that is. An innocent accident, or something much darker? Alicia has all the deets.Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

The genius of professional wrestling in the Vince McMahon era is likely the creation of near mythological characters whose real lives are often rolled up into the unreal world in which they work.Hulk Hogan was one of the most famous people in America in the 1980s and 1990s, a wholesome brute of a character who admonished his “Hulkamaniac” fans to train, say their prayers, and take their vitamins. The reality was different. His vitamins were anabolic steroids, and his wife Linda believed that he was frequently unfaithful to her. Stacie has all the salacious details of their divorce, his sex tape scandal, and the ongoing legal drama that seems to be a permanent fixture for the former couple.As comically bad as that was, Alicia has a sadder story still: the real life love between Randy “Macho Man” Savage and Miss Elizabeth, the First Lady of Professional Wrestling.Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

Happy Halloween, Samhain, Day of the Dead, or whatever you find yourself celebrating this week!

They say that if you don’t laugh, you’ll have to cry, and that seems very true of our subjects this week. Comedian Richard Pryor revolutionized the art form when he stormed onto the scene in the 1960s. By the end of the decade, he was one of the edgiest and most successful voices in comedy. Alicia documents his five wives, six divorces, and seven marriages – as well as the profoundly difficult childhood he survived but never quite outran.Then, Stacie has the strange life and career of pathbreaking comedienne Roseanne Barr, whose quick rise from the comedy clubs of Denver to the bright lights of Hollywood inspired a generation to take a stab at stand-up. Her early ’90s romance with comedian Tom Arnold was seemingly designed for the tabloids. Her story is complicated, baffling, and in many ways, sad.Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

A while back, we covered the tumultuous relationship between John McEnroe and Tatum O’Neal and learned something funny: TV legend and record shattering film director Penny Marshall and Hollywood royalty/Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher threw each other a birthday party every year.This week, we have the not-that-trashy divorces of lifelong best friends Penny Marshall and Carrie Fisher. Stacie has Penny, who was married twice, first to the father of her daughter, and next to fellow TV legend and later film director Rob Reiner. The first lasted three years, the second ten, but it seems that Penny maintained warm ties to both.Alicia has Carrie, who was in a long relationship with musician Paul Simon that included a brief marriage in the middle. Simon’s song Hearts and Bones documents the end of the relationship, but it sure seems like their love never really died.Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

This week, we have just one story, but it’s kind of a story with everything. Alicia brings us the life and loves of Pablo Picasso, the legendary artist and Certified Problematic Person.

This divorce is one of the ways that Stacie learned to love divorce stories.Then Alicia has a reality television couple who were plus eight, until they were minus each other: Kate and Jon Gosselin.

What’s in your wallet? Well, if you’re one of our subjects this week, the answer is piles and piles of money! First up, Alicia has the dirt on a towering figure of the 20th century, Howard Hughes. Hughes was a titan of industry, a Hollywood mogul, an engineer and inventor, a pilot and aircraft designer, and one of the richest people in the world during his flamboyant but ultimately tragic life.Next, Stacie has the dish on a modern version of the same type of mind: Jeff Bezos, whose 25-year-long marriage to novelist MacKenzie Bezos ended this year. They split a $137 billion fortune and fended off an extortion plot allegedly masterminded by Saudi Arabia. It’s quite the tale.Can’t get enough #trashcandy?

We love going a little bit sideways with our season finale episodes! Stacie has the scoop on a weird historical moment we’re in: For the first time ever, an American political party has fielded a presidential primary contest featuring only divorced people. Seriously, this has never happened before and would have been unthinkable until very recently. Now, we’re the only people even mentioning it (it’s kind of our brand). Come meet your 2020 Republican primary field and get the scoop on all their trashbaggery! Let’s give it up for Donald Trump, Bill Weld, Joe Walsh, and Mark Sanford!Then, Alicia ends her string of podcast no-tears with the story of soothing 1970s crooner and trashbag (it turns out), John Denver. He had two marriages that ended in divorce, and both experiences revealed some disturbing things about the man.We’re off next week, but we’re asking for your divorce stories!
