Trashy Divorces

Check out of the noise of the world with a podcast covering people who've already checked out - but had their own brushes with fame before they went. Dead and Kind of Famous is a delightful new podcast from Courtney Blomquist (not famous) and Marissa Rivera (kind of famous) that examines the lives of the people who reside at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. But these aren't the interred A-listers like Judy Garland and Burt Reynolds. These are the other people, the ones who pressed up against fame but never quite got their feet on it, and whose stories are certainly as interesting as their better known brethren.Subscribe to Dead and Kind of Famous on your podcast app, and subscribe to the newsletter on Substack!

And we're back from the half-time break with our third quarter musical champion, Paul McCartney! Sir Paul's second marriage - and first divorce - to Heather Mills was public, trashy, and extremely expensive, just the way we like them.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

In the second quarter of our Game Day Trashy Divorces Encore Plus series, Alicia heads back to her April 2020 story that 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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

As you may know, there's a big football game coinciding with our regular Sunday releases, so we thought we'd indulge some trashy champions of our own: The Fab Four. In this Beatles-themed Game Day spectacular, we begin with Alicia's Season One story of the terribly trashy love triangle between Beatle George Harrison, his wife, model Pattie Boyd, and guitar legend Eric Clapton.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

We know you love a good Dumpster Dive (our analytics make that very clear!), so we're back with another rundown of all the celebrity news that fits. In the dumpster this week: A case from the UK where a 25-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to "cyber-farting" messages to her boyfriend's ex as a form of harassment. Melissa Gilbert took some strays from washed up emotional vampire Megyn Kelly over a Little House on the Prairie reboot and let's just say that America's Sweetheart was having none of it. Actress Isla Fisher ended 2024 with a note of gratitude as she navigates her post-divorce life from comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Biana Censori, partner or wife of antisemitic rapper Ye, let it all hang out at the Grammys the other night, before police escorted both of them away from the event. Is Jennifer Garner's boyfriend trying to bail? Page Six has an odd piece about a supposed "insider" complaining on businessman boyfriend John Miller's behalf about how much time Jen is spending with her ex-husband Ben Affleck. Something to watch?

In this Encore Plus episode, Alicia’s got the intense story of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, which we first aired back in September of 2019. Whitney, of course, was an incredible talent whose path was in many ways set by the agendas of those around her. Her 14-year-long marriage to Bobby Brown was ultimately catastrophic, and her untimely death was tragic beyond words.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

In a world gone mad, celebrities continue to make terrible decisions! This week we're (mostly) leaning into the trashy rather than the divorces for a Dumpster Dive! Up first, Alicia has a Baldwin Corner, where we discuss Alec and Hilaria's new reality show, and the strong doses of something that appear to be driving Billy Baldwin and Chynna Phillips back into each other's arms. Jessica Simpson is single again. Stacie gets into the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni lawsuit war and is eager for some under-oath testimony, because both of these things cannot be true. And Alicia has an article that upends a lot of the usual takes about how men and women experience relationships and breakups.

We’ve covered the Kennedy family in some detail during the show’s run, but like any sprawling dynasty, there’s always more to explore! This week, Alicia brings us the backstory of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of slain Attorney General and presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy. Let’s just say that Bobby experienced a troubled youth, which was certainly not helped by the high profile murders his family was subjected to, or his family’s effectively unlimited money and prestige.After peering into RFK Jr's broken youth, Alicia brings us right up to the present day (at least, to the start of 2023) in the life of the notable womanizer and vaccine skeptic. With three marriages under his belt, he’s experienced disappointment and tragedy in love – but it’s never stopped him from continuing to try!Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

You know actress Annie Potts from basically everything - as the sardonic but unflappable receptionist in Ghostbusters, a newly divorced working mom in Designing Women, the voice of Bo Peep in the Toy Story series, and of course, as MeeMaw to Young Sheldon. But while she's built a career with marvelous staying power, for a long time, it seemed that she'd never have that experience in the love department. Until her fourth husband (yes, really) showed up 35 years ago or so. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Together, they made some of the 20th century's most memorable music, but their personal rivalry, animosity, and pettiness was every bit as memorable. If you're like us, you love the music of Simon and Garfunkel. And if you're like us, you'll get some hearty laughs when you hear how stupid and truly petty it all became between these two.

Back in the 1990s, two of Hollywood's most beautiful people met, fell in love, and - to great fanfare - got married. And a decade later, divorced. This was John Stamos, then nearing the end of his career-defining role as Uncle Jessie on Full House, and Rebecca Romijn, an in-demand model who was even then successfully transitioning to acting. Was it the divergence of their career arcs that doomed the relationship, or was John Stamos just primed for a fairy tale with a woman who was living in the real world?Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Oh, to be young again! Today, Stacie travels back to a simpler time, a time when Alec Baldwin had not shot anyone to death and his second wife - at least to Stacie's knowledge - was just a normal American girl who found love with a famous actor 26 years her senior. Like you do. In today's two-part Encore Plus story, we have the truly Trashy Divorce of Alec Baldwin and Kim Bassinger, featuring the Voicemail Heard 'Round The World. Then, we pluck a follow-up from our Patreon vault from a few years later, when the scandal of Hilaria Baldwin, nee Hilary Thomas, lit the internet on fire. This one's fun, friends.

Welcome to Classy Divorces! Today we're getting into the decidedly not-trashy (for the most part) split between The Queen of Broadway, Idina Menzel, and fellow actor Taye Diggs. The pair dated for seven years after meeting as co-stars on the original cast of Rent, then were married for a decade before shocking the world by announcing their separation - and the reasons behind it are complex.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

As much as we love a Vegas wedding and a Reno divorce - or a Tijuana divorce - the truth is that for a sparkling 25 or so years in the mid-20th century, Alabama abolished any residency requirements in divorce matters, and cheap, quickie divorces became a mainstay for Alabama lawyers. And as you would expect, this wild west environment drew a lot of high profile names - including some TD Alums - to the state, if only briefly.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Hilary Duff rose to fame as that rarest of Hollywood rarities: a well-adjusted child actor who easily made the leap into adulthood. As Disney's Lizzie McGuire, she became a teen idol almost overnight, and has managed to stay active in the entertainment industry not only as an actor, but also a singer and author. Being precocious has its advantages, but there are also drawbacks, like that time she married a hockey player....Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

What a week! In this latest installment of Onassis and his lovely ladies, we return the focus back to Christina, and her doomed marriage to Joseph Bolker, mostly because Aristotle wants it that way. But that is not Ari's only problem. His ex-wife Tina is scheming too and will enter her next marriage shortly, leading everyone to anger. But Ari has even bigger problems. He cannot seem to leave Maria Callas alone, and Jackie is not down for that plan.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Holy cats! In Part Eight of the series, we arrive at Aristotle's second marriage to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. It is not exactly a blessed occasion, and no one is happy about it, except Ari's sister Artemis, who makes a big comeback in this episode. Everyone else in Ari's life, including his mistress Maria Callas, and his children all have a whole lot of feelings about grand affair. Jackie’s sister and mother also have very strong feelings, which they do not hold back. The whole Kennedy clan is none too pleased either, even though Teddy will step up to negotiate the marriage contract. Calamity abounds in this one – take cover and enjoy the show!

This week, in the sixth in our series of Aristotle Onassis and His Lovely Ladies, the ladies are plentiful. Maria Callas is full in love with her Aristo, but she is not the only lady in Aristotle’s life. He does frequent brothels and will begin an affair with Princess Lee Radziwill – both enrage Maria. Also included, so many spiderwebs – Prince Rainer, Richard Burton, JFK, Marilyn Monroe, and Elsa Maxwell all make an appearance.

In this installment of the Trashy Onassis series, we meet Maria Callas. The opera diva had a childhood filled with awful, and then a husband who wasn't much better. By the time Maria and Aristotle begin their affair in 1959, she was a global opera superstar, and he was, as ever, a man in the business of collecting famous women.

While Tina's marriage to Ari wasn't built to last - for so many reasons - their divorce was hardly the end of the world for her. In less than two years, the British-born Tina was walking down the aisle with a future Duke, John Spencer-Churchill, then the Marquess of Blandford. With Ari, she had craved a quieter life, and once she got it, she realized she didn't actually care for a quieter life.Still, her kids, especially daughter Christina, came to love their stepfather, a bond that would become helpful in the final tragic years of Tina's life. Her sister Eugenia met an untimely end, she would marry Eugenia's widower Stavros Niarchos, her son Alexander would die in a plane crash, and she herself would die at just the age of 45 in a Paris mansion, sparking years of conflict between Christina and Stavros.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

When Ari finally bestirred himself to walk down the aisle, he was 40 years old and his blushing bride, Tina Livanos, daughter of yet another shipping magnate, was just 17. And he and his lifelong nemesis Stavros Niarchos had both been pursuing her for years. Luckily for both men, and unluckily for both women, Tina had a sister, Eugenia, who would become Eugenia Niarchos to her Tina Onassis. And both would find themselves married to tyrants.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

After having his heart broken by an opera singer (no foreshadowing here!), Aristotle Onassis bounced back in the most Aristotle Onassis way possible: by wooing the daughter of a Scandinavian shipping magnate. Ingeborg Dedichen would play a starring role in Ari's life for several turbulent years, and later reveal the depths of physical and emotional abuse that were Ari's trademark. And of course, there was also plenty of betrayal along the way - including Ari setting his sights on a 13-year-old to be his future wife.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Greek shipping magnate and globe trotting rich guy Aristotle Onassis might have been a minor figure in the minds of most Americans if he hadn't inserted himself into the American psychodrama that is the Kennedy family. But obviously, his life and riches did not begin with his courtship of the widowed Jacqueline Kennedy. His story began decades before, with a hot opera singing girlfriend and a dream - of selling cigarettes to women. Hey, everybody starts somewhere.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Actress Jaclyn Smith is best known for being the only one of Charlie's Angels to complete the entire series run back in the late 70s and early 80s, but she's also managed to maintain a busy professional schedule across many decades, both in television and film and by pioneering her own line of women's apparel with Kmart. And with all that, she's also managed three divorces and four marriages. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

The Duncan Hines brand is probably as close to a universally beloved product as we get here in the States, but for most of the real life Duncan Hines's seven decades prior to the baked goods thing, no one could have anticipated that outcome. Born in 1880, he came of age in the new era of automobiles, and as a traveling salesman, he developed a habit that would make him an icon of the era: he took meticulous notes about the little roadside eateries he encountered as he traversed the nation in the first decades of the 20th century. Often, he was accompanied by one of his three wives as he eventually built a little publishing empire, and then a successful branding and licensing enterprise that has been gifting Americans with delightful baked goods for the better part of a century.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Screen legend Bette Davis made her mark in Hollywood by being willing to take on - and forcefully, perfectly inhabit - any interesting role that came her way. Her persona is iconic: a sharp-tongued wit, cigarette dangling, willing to shape-shift into fascinating portrayals of pathos. She was even the participant in one of Hollywood's greatest feuds, with fellow diva Joan Crawford. Her personal life was as topsy-turvy as her roles; she had three divorces and also became a widow under somewhat mysterious circumstances.Don't forget to enter our Bette Davis Coffee and Book Giveaway with Breakfast at Dominique's!

Hollywood legend Lena Horne changed what was possible for African-Americans performers in America. After a difficult childhood, she found a key ally in her father, who made clear to studio head Louis B. Mayer that he could hire a maid for his daughter - she would not need to play one on screen. Alternating between Hollywood, which was depressing because of its limitations on Black actors, and a thriving nightclub career, she built a prolific and unique career trajectory that saw her become a prominent voice in the Civil Rights Movement, and a central figure in the Hollywood spiderwebs that Alicia loves so much.We're on break next week, but will be back with more Trashy Divorces on October 6!Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Every so often, we like to take a beat to catch up with some of our exes in a show format we call Dumpster Dive! We do these weekly on Patreon, but in this super expanded mama-jama main feed edition, we bring you the latest in celebrity scandals from TD alums and beyond. This week, we take a look at Dave Grohl's disappointing baby drama (and some internet hoaxery), Tori Spelling's latest career moves, Britney Spears's liberation - not really - from child support payments, the universally anticipated divorce of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Jon Bon Jovi's Nashville hero turn, the long - and still somewhat uncertain - road to the Oasis reunion tour, Justin Timberlake's very good post-DUI statement, and we note the apparent swirl of affair rumors surrounding 78-year-old Donald Trump and 31-year-old Trump superfan Laura Loomer.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

We've noticed a lack of royal divorce stories since we kicked off our sibling podcast Trashy Royals more than a year ago now (!). Today, Alicia is bridging that gap by bringing together - and busting apart - two of Queen Victoria's grandchildren. Yes, the long tradition of royal cousins getting hitched. These are Grand Duke Ernest Louis of Hesse and by Rhine (nickname: Ernie) and Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (nickname: Ducky). The two became the subject of intense royal meddling as Victoria, imagining herself a skilled matchmaker, pushed Ernie to propose to Ducky, not realizing Ernie was more of a man's man, if you get our drift. The whole thing, marriage and divorce, turned into a massive scandal that rocked Europe. Enjoy this crossover, and if you like what you hear, go check out Trashy Royals, wherever you're listening right now!Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Melissa Gilbert grew up in front of all of our eyes playing Laura Ingalls Wilder on Little House on the Prairie, and she managed to avoid some of the pitfalls that beset other child stars. Then she met Rob Lowe, and America's Sweetheart started a whole new chapter. It's included two divorces - one trashy, one very much not trashy - and a whole lot of spiderwebs.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Dancer and actress Joan McCracken became one of America's biggest stars in the 1940s after her scene-stealing role in Oklahoma! as Sylvie, "The Girl Who Fell Down." In her real life, she was challenged by a secret diagnosis of diabetes in an era where management of the disease was complicated at best, and her marriage to fellow dancer Jack Dunphy - who would go on to be Truman Capote's partner for decades - was wrecked her affair with a French songwriter. Joan would become Bob Fosse's second wife and a major influence in his career. Given how brief her life was - she died at just 43 - her story is an impressive array of spiderwebs into both the Trashy Divorces Cinematic Universe, and Alicia's Done & Dunne podcast.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Diana Ross is rightly one of the biggest stars in the world, but her fortuitous proximity to Motown Records and its founder, Berry Gordy, and his obsession with her, supercharged the musical career of a girl who dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. Their romance may not have been long lasting, but it left carnage in its wake even as Diana's star rose higher and higher.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

All the televised sights from Paris lately put Alicia in a mood, so today she's got the incredible story of Natalie Clifford Barney, a leading light in the Parisian art world in the 19th century, and also a fearless out lesbian in a time when such a thing was inconceivable to most. American born, Natalie's story is fascinating on many levels, not least because of her constant intersections with and contributions to the makers of the culture in which we live - artists and writers like Collette, Romaine Brooks, Renee Vivien, Djuana Barnes, Radclyffe Hall, Janet Flanner, Solita Solano, Mina Loy, Una Troubridge, and Elisabeth de Gramont, to name just a few.Check out more of Alicia's Paris stories on our public Patreon feed.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Once again, your requests are the best stories. Friends, we don't know where to begin with the trashiness that is Clint Eastwood, so we opted to focus mostly on his tumultuous relationship with fellow actor Sondra Locke. This one has everything - an almost pathological level of infidelity, indiscriminate fatherhood, unconventional marriages, and profound betrayals.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

You asked for this one, and now we know why! Kelsey Grammer, best known for playing the cerebral and neurotic Dr. Frasier Crane for two decades on NBC, is quite the contrast to his lovable character.

Black-ish star Anthony Anderson has been enjoying the pinnacle of his career for a decade now, having helmed the hugely successful sitcom for all eight of its seasons. But the spotlight can be a tough place for someone who has repeatedly faced allegations - even criminal charges - of sexual assault.

Screen legend Michael Landon holds a unique spot even among other wildly successful actors. Landon starred in not one, not two, but three long-running hit television series, starting with Bonanza in 1959, then the iconic Little House on the Prairie in the 70s and early 80s, and finally Highway to Heaven. He was also the consummate family man - sort of. He clearly cherished the role of 'dad' to his nine children, but his first two wives certainly weren't thrilled to be retired for newer models.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?
