RHORI Reunion Part 2 Takes
On the reunion, it was confusing whether or not Brian and Rula are legally married based on what Joellen brought up. So let's assume Rula and Brian are not legally married based on the documentation Joellen produced. What Joellen was saying was, "What's your anniversary?" 'Cause he wasn't legally divorced on this date, so how could you legally be married, right? And it would be very simple for Rula to say, "Our anniversary is this date," and so then she would prove Joellen wrong, but she refused to tell us her anniversary, which was strange.
Welcome to Cocktails and Gossip, the podcast where we drink cocktails, but you better believe we're gonna spill the tea. We chat reality TV, celebrity blinds, and the hottest tea from bravoandcocktails.com. And as always, it's all alleged and just for fun. We do not verify our blinds. I'm B. And I'm Amanda. Let's get into this week's tea.
Happy Fourth of July, Cocktailers. Hello, Amanda. Hi, guys. Hi, B. I am excited for the weekend. Happy Fourth of July. I love that it's on a Saturday this year. Hoping all of you guys have a fun, long weekend, either relaxing, if that's what you need, or fun family chaotic if that's what you need. What are you doing, B? I feel like being on a Saturday takes the pressure off of the midweek thing. I have a couple of parties, both out east, so we're heading out tomorrow to the Hamptons, going to our friend's house. On Saturday we're going to another friend's house. What are your plans? We are going and staying with some friends in their vacation home that's within driving. So I'm already getting a little nervous about all the traffic. I haven't packed. I haven't done anything.
I love watching the World Cup soccer. I was in Canada watching it with Canadians during their game. But I'm not really following it, and so I didn't even know the men were playing last night. And another friend texts me, because my husband plays still in the grown-up league, in a big boy league. She's like, "Thank you to your husband for explaining some of this, 'cause it's all making more sense with this game." And I was like, "I didn't even know there was a game." True to form, I'm in a sushi restaurant where there's no television. Oh, no. We were at a beer garden. You know my husband. We have Colombian friends, Argentinian friends, Croatian friends, so we've legitimately hung with our people every time they're playing. Last night was USA. Tonight is Croatia again, so we'll be with our Croatian friends at their house. It's so much fun to be with people who are really invested in the team.
I think my thing with soccer is that I am very American, and I don't like when my kids have games in a tournament where they allow ties. I don't like the time stoppage thing, where only the mysterious entity kind of knows what it is, and then they can add to it. It just feels like it could be exploited to me, which bothers me. I like some hard set rules in sports. Well, even last night, I don't really understand it, but we got a red card on our striker, and it looked to me like he fell. And now he was out the rest of last night's game, which thankfully we won anyway, and he's out next game. I heard we were essentially man down for 24 minutes of the game last night, and still managed to score, which is awesome.
The Big Wedding: Taylor Swift Wedding Rumors
And we had so many of our blinds, rumors, emails, DMs come true this week. So we're gonna get to that. But speaking of crazy tea, this is reminding me of when we were chasing JLo and Ben's wedding. We have been getting intel on Taylor Swift's wedding. We were getting it last year when it was rumored in Rhode Island. And then in April, we got from two separate cocktailers intel saying that Taylor and Travis sent out a save the date and all it said was July 3rd, New York City. Didn't say venue. The person said they thought that to RSVP they had to sign an NDA. But they weren't sure when the attendees get the real details. That reminds me of when Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married. They all met in a different country, and then they all got flown on a plane to Italy. It was very last-minute and very secretive. So it makes sense. It's Taylor Swift.
But then when we got the intel, we started hearing Madison Square Garden in the beginning of May. And Amanda, I know that as I was posting it I was like, "This is bullshit." But of course thankfully I still posted it. What were your thoughts initially? I still don't believe it. I never believed it. I think maybe there is something happening there related, but I don't see them doing it that way. I see them finding a way to make things a lot more intimate even if they have a big crowd coming. I can only imagine their guest list has gotta be at least 500 people. I heard 1,000, but that seems like an insane amount of people to have at a wedding. So the things that we know for sure it is happening, I guess, tomorrow. Rehearsal dinner likely tonight in New York City, black tie.
Here's where my head is currently at. My head is saying the ceremony will obviously be more intimate. I don't foresee her doing her ceremony in Madison Square Garden. There's stuff going around that perhaps it's the launch of her record label or something related to her music career. I could see an after party, like maybe a ceremony and a wedding reception somewhere more intimate, and then maybe an after party at Madison Square Garden. I don't think it's out of the frame of reality that she could potentially use MSG for a wedding event, be it the rehearsal dinner, be it the after party. Do I think her ceremony is going to be in Madison Square Garden? I don't. The New York City mayor in a press conference said something like, "There's a heat wave. Stay inside. And if you're getting married at MSG, you'll be inside, too." But of course, nobody knows what her exact details are. I'm not picturing her walking down the aisle in Madison Square, no matter how they reinvent the space. But I think there'll be something wedding related there.
We did get some little bits and pieces. So this person says, "Obviously, who knows, but I work at MSKCC. And today a nurse was talking to someone how they confirmed a major event at MSG is happening, 'cause a friend works there and had access to a bunch of redacted docs. Also confirmed road closures in the area, and major media outlets have been picking up on that." The reality is, when you're a billionaire, you could afford to rent out Madison Square Garden and have it look like you're doing a wedding there, and then end up at the Rainbow Room or The Plaza. I've been to a wedding at The Plaza. It would probably hold 400. Rainbow Room, which is to me the dream location. If I were wealthy in New York City, it would be Rainbow Room, full stop. But similar, like 4 or 500 people. It's not a thousand-person venue. So I'm saying the actual wedding reception will be at Rainbow Room, unless there's somewhere nicer in Manhattan that I don't know about. We'll see. But I'm excited for them. I think there'll be lots to talk about next week after we hear all the details.
Liz's Big Announcement
I wanna dig into the Rhode Island Housewives reunion. Different points I feel like we need to close up on. Oh, Liz's departure. So I was told on the weekend, and sometimes I get things and I posted a meme to my grid, which is bold for a rumor. But you guys know emails are different than sources. And the person who told me has given me every true piece of tea from Rhode Island. I don't know who they are, but I love them. And they were like, "Liz won't be back. The network actually really wanted her back, and actually pleaded with her, but she made the decision not to return." So I dealt with a lot of flak in my DMs. Like, nobody leaves a hit show on their own. I tend to agree. However, she made this Insta Story threat, basically threatening every content creator who covers Bravo because we've all posted, well, guess she's leaving because of her best friend. She brought two people on the show as friends, Dolores and Dino. Dino is in a very public indictment case that he just pled not guilty and is fighting. I am by no means saying that Liz and her husband are definitely involved. That's not what I'm saying. But they're very clearly close friends, as they said on the show many times. And so if you're a person of means and a person with some level of intelligence, you'd walk away from the show, just because who needs that aggravation? I think if they're as good of friends as they say they are, even if she's done nothing wrong, she's right to be cautious. Assuming her innocence, I do think it would be the right thing to do to protect her friend. My theory is, whether she was involved or not, I think she's thinking, "I'm gonna lay low for a year while everything kinda plays itself out." I don't think she's gone for good. It never ceases to amaze me that people who are involved in or tangentially related to criminal situations decide to go on reality TV.
And speaking of crazy situations, the Brian and Rula of it all. So a cocktailer DM'd us something pretty interesting. On the reunion, it was confusing whether or not Brian and Rula are legally married based on what Joellen brought up. So let's assume they're not legally married. What Joellen was saying was, "What's your anniversary?" 'Cause he wasn't legally divorced on this date, so how could you legally be married? And it would be very simple for Rula to say, "Our anniversary is this date," and she would have proved Joellen wrong, but she refused to tell us her anniversary, which was strange. We have said for a while on here that Brian must have something over Rula to keep her wanting to work it out. We've speculated it's something in regards to his business, her business, or how they got together. And it's starting to seem like it might be right. Rula very tentatively raised her hand when asked if she had a prenup.
It doesn't matter if she's legally married. They also don't ever refer to themselves as my husband. She says things like "the father." So we saw on In The City it's possible to have a full-on destination wedding but not be legally married. My wondering is, why not just come clean? She could have said, "Hey guys, we're not married by the State of Rhode Island, but we had a ceremony, and in the eyes of God we are married." But the fact remains that it must be something to do with the timeline. It would likely give Joellen the smoking gun to say, "Aha, you were still married to the Spanish teacher when you started dating Rula." So Amanda, if they are not legally married, or even if they are, why would she not tell us at the reunion what their anniversary was? I'm wondering if there's just some sort of outdated concern about her children finding out that they were born out of wedlock.
That's the only thing I can think of, because I did some digging for you guys. It turns out that Joellen is telling the truth. So I was able to look at some details in the divorce case for Brian's first marriage. The divorce was final on March 24th of 2016. Also interesting, the Spanish teacher, she is the one who filed, and she filed on July 7th of 2011. I can see what the motions are, but I can't see what all the motions said. The other thing I thought was interesting is I saw that there was a motion for a protection order on January 13th of 2012. So that would be roughly six, seven months after the divorce was filed. So going back to what Rula said, she said they met in 2010. There's clear overlap. I think she said maybe he got divorced in 2011, and that's not true. It was filed. And we all know there's all kinds of reasons that people's divorces drag on. So it could have been that once they were officially separated, Brian and his ex were trying to figure stuff out without lawyers. But again, going back to your question, why not just be upfront? Because if I were Rula, and we met in 2010, he was already separated, the divorce was going through, I would just be upfront with that. That to me is a very acceptable thing to say, but it's all of the shadiness around all the dates that make me think there's something else going on. I found a post that they did not officially get married until December of 2024, although they had been a longtime couple. But again, something's funky. And Rosie seemed to know something.
I think your theory about the old-fashioned not wanting the kids to think they were conceived before marriage, I could see that. When I was a kid, I had a friend and her parents had a very pretty wedding picture with the date, and it was three years after the year we were born. And I was like, "There's something wrong with your wedding picture." I was nine years old. And her mother was just very honest with me. However, from the very beginning, one of the first pieces of tea we got was that Rula and Brian's first marriages both ended because of their affair. So I think it's more hiding that, because then Joellen's next thing is going to be he left his first wife for you, and he told the mistress he was gonna leave you for her. So this is a pattern. And Rula is trying to avoid that narrative, which you could understand why. But also, then come up with a better fake out. She has such blinders on. I look at Rula and I think she must have that kind of personality type who is like, "Once I have decided on something, I have decided and you can't talk me out of it." I think she's probably been on the fence about this marriage, and I don't think she's mentally there with the separation, so she's gonna fight like a cornered badger until she does change her mind.
Something else I thought was interesting was the whole Alicia and Billy financial situation, because Billy made it very clear at the reunion that he asked Alicia to meet with the attorney to understand the trust, to meet with the business manager, and even said, "We should have a monthly meeting where we talk about finances." So a few weeks ago we shared a theory from Lauren Napolitano, a psyD, that Billy was controlling her financially. When we talked about this, I was like, "I'm not seeing it from Billy, but we're gonna keep our eye on him." And with Alicia acknowledging that everything Billy said was true, that she just couldn't be bothered and chose not to do all of these things, it seems like he's actually legit, and Alicia just can't be bothered. And Billy also came to the reunion with paperwork giving her 50% of Pizza Mama in exchange, kind of like a joke, for driving their daughter to dance a couple days a week. I love Alicia, and she's funny and quirky and cute, but the reality is, I don't think she fully recognized the way that this would come across and could make Billy look like what Lauren Napolitano said in that post. We didn't see that in Billy, but it is possible based on the facts we were shown.
I think instinctively as an audience, we all liked Billy. But Alicia choosing not to be involved because she finds it boring, I think it's a very bad idea. Yes, doing your bills is boring. I don't enjoy going to my accountant. However, I do it because it's part of being an adult. And if Alicia wants access and ownership, she needs to do the adult part of going to the meetings, listening to what the accountant says, looking at her estate plan. And she has a daughter that she's responsible for. She also needs to get her own wealth manager. Billy even went so far as to share, she's CC'd on all the emails. He's opening LLCs for her so that she doesn't get hit with crazy taxes. He knows she's gonna get brand deals. She's got a cracker brand deal. She just did an ad with Amazon. If anything, Billy is helping her. And when you're in the fortunate position she is, the beauty is you could find it boring, but you can hire people. Alicia kind of can't have it both ways. You can't be like, "Oh, Billy doesn't share this," and then, "But I also don't wanna look."
Billy said he opened a trust for her and an LLC, so she can have a business bank account. But I think he's probably opened this trust to manage things if something happens to him. People open trusts for all kinds of reasons. But maybe the trust is more for her because she doesn't want to manage money, and a trust can help with that too. She just seems so childlike. That quality about her is what makes us all laugh at her and find her entertaining. But it also can be a very self-destructive quality if she doesn't get a handle on the financial aspect. Her friend Rula works in wealth management. But don't go to Rula, that's a bad idea. Rula could be a third party to just explain how things work, but we don't need Rula to know her business. She also may be jealous of all her brand deals.
But we got some intel that a friend of Alicia's named Sienna will be joining the cast. She has three young children. She did interview for first season. To me, it makes complete sense that they would go with one of Alicia's friends. She's clearly the breakout star. I hear two are joining, especially now that we have confirmed Liz is gone. My head goes to Joellen, or even maybe somebody who has a beef with Jo Ellen. Interestingly, I noticed Ashley post a video of her hanging out with Rula and Brian, and Ashley's son Dawson is playfully hitting Brian, and Ashley wrote, "This is what everybody wants to do with Brian." So what do we make of this friendship? I was really surprised to see that video. To this day, Ashley has not shown a strategic bone in her body, and I think that's one of the reasons we all like her. But that felt like a strategic move to me. Ashley and Rula kinda need each other because, yes, Ashley has Rosie, but Ashley needs somebody else in the group. Liz is not gonna be there to protect Rula, and Ashley needs more of an in. I think it's very smart on Ashley's part. She recognizes her and Rosie can't be on an island by themselves, and Rula is a good person to align with because she also has a very interesting story. So maybe this is the reality star side of Ashley we're seeing.
I also saw there was an event with Casamigos, and Rosie and Kelsey both posted a TikTok, and they are there. Granted, it's a brand deal. My hope for the two of them is that they move forward season two. Their personalities will continue to clash, which is okay, but we had a season where they had it out. We tied it up at the reunion, and it's the housewife's way to then move forward. The Rosie and Kelsey, it's just too much, at least this iteration. What do you think all the storylines will be next year? I really hope that Joellen and Gary have no skeletons in their marriage, in their businesses, in their finances, because Rula and Brian are gonna bring them out if they do. Brian and Rula's marriage will continue to be a storyline. They're really going to have to clarify whether or not they're legally married. Kelsey, I guess we'll see what's going on with her and Billy. Rosie and Rich were just DJ-ing for Dave Portnoy's book release party, so I think we'll see some activity in their professional life. And Alicia, I hope we see her becoming financially aware. I feel like they're gonna expand the Pizza Mama. I don't think we'll see a wedding, but I'm sure we'll hear talk of a wedding. I am manifesting that Alicia gets financially literate.
Joellen, yes, she's been really tough on Rula, and definitely probably crossed some lines, but she's become one of my favorite housewives. I really hope she has no skeletons for her sake. And with Ashley, maybe Jared gets someone to run the business, and so now maybe he's home too much and too in her business. His facial reactions, Jared, as everything was going on, a lot of people memed it. I was reposting other people's memes because they are so clearly shocked by this behavior.
So we got Next Gen: New York City last week. We didn't get a chance to talk about it 'cause we recorded on Wednesday. So the big topic of discussion, Ariana and Hudson, was the breakup real? So Eva and Georgia make fun of their joint statement, and honestly, I'm kinda with them. It was a little silly to put out a whole joint statement. And I think it made it seem that it was for show. And we did see her move out. What I think is I think it was a break, but I also think it was a convenient storyline. Clearly they're not ready to get married yet. I don't know. I always, and I guess we'll see as the season progresses, if she hooks up with somebody else, maybe I'll think it's more real. But to me, it was a convenient storyline, and they kind of always planned on getting back together. I don't agree. I don't see Ariana doing that. I think she's savvy, especially when it comes to the cameras, but I think she's a genuine person. I just don't see the breakup being fake. In my 20s, I broke up with boyfriends and got back together with them. That's normal. I think people break up for lots of reasons, including we haven't dated anybody else and we need to be sure. So I thought it was fair game to make fun of the joint statement. They weren't married. They were not Kate Middleton, as they said.
Okay, we also get that Georgia went to an in-patient program because of the ridicule after the first season and said it was because of her body. And then interestingly, Amira shared that Georgia knew that Amira had struggled with body issues, an eating disorder, and that's why she was so hurt when Georgia joked about, "Oh, the Ozempic's wearing off." They hashed it out at Amira's party. Also, I loved when Georgia said the gay pipeline, how it's international, and she's in it, and she knows. And then Amira was like, "I have no idea." The queer information pipeline, I think is what she called it. And Amira's like, "I don't know how she knows I said this." But apparently Amira thought Georgia was flirting with her boyfriend, which I thought was interesting. I don't really see that in Georgia. So I'm keeping my eyes on her.
Then we get to Ava Dash. She says, "There's a lot of press on my family. Some is true, some isn't." She claims that she was paying her half of the rent, and her father, Damon Dash, who's very famous rap royalty, wasn't paying his. We do know that he filed for bankruptcy. We see her with a boyfriend, but in the mid-season trailer we see some of the cast consoling her because they broke up, which makes sense because she's been loving herself some Summer House men. So if you're not a cocktailer, you may not know this, but a while back she was spotted being flirty with Kyle. They were holding hands at the table. And then there was an event, maybe the In the City premiere where Kyle was DJing, and he was doing a live stream, and I'm like, that's Ava Dash back there behind the DJ booth with him. Well, the crazy thing is, we have a really good source who... Jesse and Ava were out hanging three to four times, spotted making out, so confirmed she made out with Jesse. Then last weekend she was in the Hamptons at Palm Festival and was spotted making out with Kyle. And a source told me that Kyle wasn't aware that she had been hanging with Jesse. So I am now wondering, is this gonna make the show? I think it's very possible we could see Ava on the show. But Summer House production, feel free, send us the documentation. We will sign off. And let's make this a storyline.
Ranking Bravo's Nepo Babies
Something about Ava, I know she's not that young, she's 26, but she just comes off as young. And it feels a little ick to me to be making... She can choose her choices, but I don't know how much of a spotlight Bravo's gonna wanna put on Kyle. It just isn't the best look for Kyle. And maybe not for her either. All of this makes me wonder if she usually dates older men and if she might have some daddy issues. I find Eva gorgeous, and she is rap royalty, whether her father is bankrupt or not. He co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records with Jay-Z. She grew up around super famous people. Her mother, Rachel Roy, is rumored to be Becky with the Good Hair, the Becky that Beyonce accused Jay-Z of having an affair with. So Eva has been around famous people her whole life. I just, Kyle's too old. He's 44, she's 26. That's 18 years. Jesse's 31, and what's funny is when we posted the Jesse thing, a lot of cocktailers were like, "He feels too old for her." And that's only five years, so she does have young energy. She's a Nepo baby, whether she's wealthy or not, but she certainly has access to jobs and modeling because of her parents. I don't find her fun. I don't find anything playful about her. She's humorless. Kyle has a record of going for beautiful women who kind of stand there and look annoyed, so that could be his vibe. I don't see Jesse with somebody who isn't fun and playful. Amira, everything she says, it feels like she's giving you a wink. There's something really cheeky. And so I agree, Ava comes off as humorless. But maybe she has some kind of imposter syndrome and feels like she has to be serious all the time. Her and Gia have silly beef. It's clear that she is not a fan of Gia or Ariana. I'm guessing it's because they're the wrong kind of Nepo babies. We should start classifying Nepo babies, because they seem to already be categorizing themselves. Like, there's gotta be an A, B, C kind of situation there.
It's very important that we point something out right now. Riley Burruss was not initially signed on to Next Gen. That was an exclusive that only could be found in Cocktail Party. Riley Burruss was not in the first episode of Next Gen. Riley Burruss was not at the party. We had the intel that she hadn't signed on. My mind went, where does Ava place Riley? I would imagine she places her much higher than Gia and Ariana because although her mother was on Housewives, Kandi Burruss is also hip hop royalty because she's written songs for so many major artists. So I'm guessing Ava was probably very warm to Riley. We'll see, because Riley ultimately did sign on. But we were correct 'cause she was not at that first party, and why wouldn't she be there other than if she was holding out for more money? And I hope she got her check.
Meantime, it seems like nobody's talking to Charlie. Georgia isn't, Ava isn't, Brooks isn't. Somehow Charlie became friends with Ariana's boyfriend Hudson. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's because Hudson's a billionaire. Also, he needs a connection to the show. Amir, Georgia's ex, who I also think has money, him and Charlie are best friends. They're traveling together. But Charlie's under the impression somehow when he met up with Amir that everything's fine, until Amir is like, "Charlie, nobody likes you." Also, we covered the story of him being involved in that crypto where those guys had a torture house. There's pictures of him with the guys. Charlie was very clear that we will get nothing from him, because he would get into legal trouble, which we understand. At least what we have heard is that he was not involved in the actual crime. He just happened to be at the guy's house when they got arrested. Well, he befriends billionaires. This is what we've learned. I wanna remind you guys that Charlie Zakar related terms were by far the number one thing searched on our site last year when the show was airing. The guy's got star power, whether or not we like him. Was that even before the crypto thing? Yes. Everything we post about Charlie gets clicks. I know what it is. He's real-life Gossip Girl. He's connected because he grew up in that world. Georgia's real-life Gossip Girl, like the poor character. But he's real-life Chuck Bass. I still find him funny. I thought it was funny how he said being in this friend group made him feel like he's on Curb Your Enthusiasm. And even though if you look at him you wouldn't be like, "He's hot," there's something about him that I could see why girls his age are into him. He's like that toxic guy. And the new guy, he's a lot of slash slash slash: ski instructor, volunteer firefighter, hockey player, actor. I don't have a lot to say about him yet. I got a kick out of Shy saying he thought it was a prank show. He's very funny. As far as Dylan leaving New York, he was a model, he made a lot of money on OnlyFans, and he was probably like, I can make more money in LA, and if Next Gen isn't giving me full-time, I'm out. So now they subbed this guy Liam in for him, which it's not hard to find guys like that in New York City.
I always want more Amira. I think the camera loves her. I think she's so pretty. She got back in April a rib removal surgery so that she could have a slimmer waist, and looks fricking fantastic. She did before already, but she is just one of those people who really draws you in. Star power, 100%.
Okay, I'm reading this email we got about Next Gen London, and I got some really interesting confirmation on this. Subject, Next Gen London. Hearing an American production company is developing a London-based reality show and is currently filming a sizzle reel before pitching it to networks. Bravo is said to be particularly interested. The cast reportedly includes Romeo Beckham, David and Victoria, Damian Hurley, Elizabeth Hurley, Gene Gallagher, Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton, Tilly Ramsay, Gordon Ramsay, Lila Moss, Kate Moss, Lola Star Buckley, Michelle Visage, and British model Mia Regan, and Russian fashion designer Leonardo Dragovich. Allegedly, Bravo wants to acquire the project and rework it as a Next Gen London following the failure of Next Gen LA. I want to note, my sources tell me there is no failure with Next Gen. It has filmed and we will be seeing it. I'm not sure why that's in the email. And the email ends saying, "However, one cast member is pushing for Netflix and has reportedly threatened to walk away if the series doesn't land there." So our source who told me all true tea about Real Housewives of London and Ladies of London told me that they hear this sizzle reel is being filmed, and that the cast that was in our email is accurate for the most part. I'm surprised, if they do try to work this as a Next Gen, that there are no housewife children named in that. But they could always add them.
I wonder why they're pushing hard for Netflix. Maybe it's a money thing. Or maybe they want it to seem more highbrow. What streamer had Victoria Beckham's and David Beckham's respective documentaries? That was Netflix. I can see this with Romeo. I think it's a relatively safe safety net for him. It's not like the Beckhams or he will be telling all on the show. He's obviously been trained by this point to know what is and what is not okay to talk about. Honestly, when I initially got the email, his name stood out and made me think maybe it was a nonsense email, but the confirmation from a good source who seems to know all things London makes me believe that it's possible. I hope it lands on Bravo because I think it would be cool to infuse, and the first person that comes to mind is Chanel Ayan. I know she's Dubai, but she's very much an international woman, and her son is gorgeous. Put him on the cast. Maybe Stanbury, one of Stanbury's kids. This would be so cool for Bravo. Liam Gallagher is Oasis. These are like royalty of London names. But the reality is, with the exception of the Beckhams, the most famous person in England still wants American fame. As somebody who studied abroad, has cousins who live in Ireland and England, there's nothing quite like American fame. So even your most famous English person wants to be on American TV.
We love you guys. Wishing you a fun, safe, relaxing weekend. And happy birthday America, 250 years. Be safe, have fun. Love you guys. Happy Fourth. Bye.
