I'm Julie at Litman. I'm Amanda Dobbins When Amanda's top topics remains hot and that is the finances of Jennifer Lopez It's a dire situation people Amanda did you get a lot of text about the commercial plane ride? I got absolutely none because once again the only people who seem to care about this are you and me and frankly the page six reporters who are taking my Editorial suggestions and turning them into reporting which I appreciate I would have liked some more extensive reporting about one of these items Which is apparently that art from the marital home of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck is being sold off It's just really I Assume that's like probably part of a settlement and also probably like trying to get as much cash as possible Yeah, but the way that page six describes it makes it seem like it's like a fire sound Yeah, and this is like shit's Creek or something. It's like I mean and maybe it is once again Like we did some of the math and the expenses are just not adding up Yeah, and it's really that like much of her 2024 and projected income Was reliant on a tour that just like got straight up canceled. I Wonder about her money manager is they must just be like constantly freaking out She probably doesn't talk to that person directly. So it's like probably okay for her but It's really That's just it's all really tough. She also she took a commercial flight back from Italy I think to France and then I don't know how she got home from there, but she's back in California But it's just not looking good Yeah, I mean it does look like they're running out of money my my question for page six and anyone else who is You know selling gossip for money is what what is the art that is being sold? You know like what I know what are are they collectors? I have not gotten that impression before No, oh, I wouldn't be surprised if either of them were and I also could see Ben Affleck being very serious about it Like the same way he's very serious about camera lenses. Right sure though You know and and there are some celebrities who are like very private about the fact that they're massing these huge Clasher apart if only to you know for privacy and safety right for it to protect the assets but I Would love to know like do you I mean do you think paintings? Sculpture like probably both. Yeah, I was thinking I was thinking both especially because they're married at home as we're calling it as Page six is calling it is so large like gotta fill it with stuff Yeah, I mean that's the other thing is that it might also be kind of like site specific, you know Like what are we supposed to we bought this house? we bought this giant painting in order to go in this one particular place, but we're not really attached to it and you know like sometimes Expensive pieces of furniture that are also Specific to a home or often like you can be purchased along with the home You know so maybe maybe it's that more than like they're selling a bunch of Warhol's But it like wouldn't that be fascinating if they were in fact selling a bunch of Warhol's Yeah, it's just like all happening so quickly because I didn't even live in the house for that long because as we just discussed a lot They were in a rental for a while while this house is being prepared. It's just all Adding insult to injury. It's really a a tough look There was also the report that he room he moved all his belongings out of the home while she was in Italy Well, maybe maybe that was agreed upon that I felt like maybe that was like I'm like maybe she was like I am going to Italy while you have this time gone. Yeah. Yeah, well or We've got to get rid of this. You know, maybe I don't want to be here while this is happening. You're right. Right. Right. You manage that stuff Seems pretty tough It's just seems sad also that they're only publishing pictures of her looking really upset I assume this is a tough time for both of them But she's definitely not getting the benefit of like I happen to be caught in the smile a half smile for five seconds and No one no one's wanting to put that out into the world. No, it's a good point that like she once again Besides me and even not really me because as you pointed out, I'm just concerned trolling her finances constantly But it's like she's the press is not on her side Like everyone the narrative that everyone is waiting for and they really and even page six is doing this Which is pretty gross of like Jennifer Lopez gets divorced again like Jennifer Lopez has not learned her lesson it's really Jennifer Lopez looking sad on boat now. Did she make an entire extended musical film and then documentary about Her search for the one love and how it's eluded her and how she's a serial monogamist just earlier this year she did so in some ways they're taking a narrative that she Made at least Well, I don't know she spent 20 million dollars off I don't I don't know how much Amazon paid her for it I mean there's another issue Julia. We don't know the accounting on that was it more than 20 million or less than 20 million I'm gonna go with less, but I don't know how Amazon spends money and that's not finances that I have access to right so But it is it is still a little gross and it still feels like Benifer 1.0. You know, what it's That's why we can't waver and we'll we will continue to watch this space with concern and support because I do support Jlo I actually I do legitimately go bad for her. I think this like really sucks There's definitely no way she like went into this thinking. Oh, this is not gonna work Oh, I'm gonna make this these two movies and they it's gonna be leading to the dissolution of my marriage It's just sad and also the dissolution of a lot of my career, which is like the equally tough part You know, yeah, it's just terrible. I really do feel for her. So I hope it gets better I hope her 2024 can only go up from here. Do you think they'll actually announce? Do you think they'll ever formally announce the split or will it just be leaked like good question that they filed? I Think just like and then they'll never answer questions about it again At least not for like three years, right or maybe he'll have to promote something and he'll Have you know one or two impaired answer media criticism answers, which like are fair and She will pretend that it didn't happen while launching some other business, right? Yeah, I mean, she's never acknowledged they are on break up. Yeah One I remember with his Instagram posts. Yeah, that was really special He lives out loud in his own way. I guess so Let's move on the second biggest Thing happening across the pond of course after the euros tour and maybe third after the euros tournament is Glastonbury was over the weekend and a lot of celebrities went boy did a lot of celebrities want this year more than usual I think yeah, and also maybe we just we have like our new generation of Festival celebs festival generation, right? Which you know Andrew Scott is a little bit older than the average Festival generation attendee this year But I really wanted to sing him out is having the summer of a lifetime because obviously he was at ara's tour and full force Last week with Phoebe walleridge Have you seen the post of him? They're like walking out to go to the bathroom or going somewhere and then style starts playing and No, no, no, no, we have to go back and like grabs her and rushes her back to the tent So that they can listen to style again funny, which I found very charming then he was photographed with Paul Maskell and And other people but just really where where there is a party and I have felt this way since The beginning of this year when he was like on the campaign He did not ultimately get an Oscar nomination for all of us strangers but like they were working hard and he was in a lot of round tables and a lot of parties and it just kind of seems like the party is where Andrew Scott is and It's also like a party that I would be happy to attend. Yeah, he seems like he's just having a great time in life And also it's funny. He's allegedly one of the torture poets, right? So he's really on it unaffected or and also participating and in all of this So he wanted absolute win for him. He's having his cake and eating it too. Yes Other glass and berry sightings on a Taylor joy really seems to be camped out Mm-hmm. I saw a video of Sergio Ronan and Daisy Edgar Jones having a great time together And then I also saw footage of Sergio Ronan with her longtime partner Jack load-in which loud and which who you may know from slow horses and Who I know from the time when he went on Graham Norton to promote soul so horses and talked about his Christmas village Incredible so British and and shared of like an extensive video of the Christmas village But I hadn't had any update. They're pretty private So I hadn't had any updates on them and they are still together which I'm relieved. Yeah Once in a while, they'll be photographed walking their dog and it's always like very very low key Yeah, which which like I admire I want that for them, but also like, you know, I like both of them So I just wanted to make sure that they see fun too. Yeah, I mean they were a glass mirror together Tom Cruise was there Mr. British mr. British cuz he just he now is like What do you think his visa is like at this point one year good question? Five year it's probably or we're new it's either like a renewable work visa. Yeah, or There are some British work visas that like fast track you towards citizenship so he could be on that fast track I mean he has been there working on these mission and possible movies For at least Six or seven years now. Yeah, really long time like he's been he's been just like literally helicoptering into things for years And so obviously he was at a risk tour looking, you know Vaguely unnatural, but that was okay, but then he was he was filmed at the Coldplay set at Glastonbury Dancing along to a cover of Oasis is don't look back in anger So funny, I'm do you think that Tom Cruise knows who Oasis is I do because I feel like he's spent so much time in England That it would be really hard to avoid like really really hard. Yeah, but I'm like Do you what do you think Tom Cruise's pop culture diet is like how and what is he consuming? Well, that's just such a perennially favorite song of like humans particularly the British So I feel like Oasis definitely like crept in at some point over the last 30 years for him So that one for sure more recently probably like things he just like has to absorb when people are talking about them when he's nearby But like what conversations does he have to absorb when he's nearby whose conversations is he nearby? Like at Glastonbury. He's in a crowd of people Right, but do you think he's like making small talk? I think he might everyone says he's really gracious I think he's really gracious, but I just I'm like Okay, I There is an urban legend that Tom Cruise emails because Tom Cruise once sent I believe it was Jimmy Fallon a very detailed email about how to do a home theater set up with serial numbers for all the things that you're supposed to buy now Could an assistant have gathered that together and sent the email probably but or gave him all the information that he like then Typed up into an email like if someone else got all the serial numbers since it's gathering all the serial numbers And he's not typing it up. He's copying and pasting but that's fine. Sure Providing the information for someone else right the email and that was also like a 10 years ago I think probably Tom Cruise is living a post-email life as you know, many It's as many of us could aspire to at this point do you like Do you think he's like texting people a lot like what's he doing on his phone probably reading random shit and probably texting I feel like texting replaces others other stuff. I agree that he's texting, but I think he's like texting production people I think he's like singularly focused on Making mission-impossible movies and or maybe not quick enough. Yeah. No, not quick enough. Well, I mean They had a whole submarine issue, you know, which was their mistake to make We also we don't have any access to like the Scientology aspect of whatever he's doing on his phone And I'm sure that's a big piece of it too. Yeah, but I think that's more likely than him like reading blogs, you know or like I didn't say blogs I said random stuff and that could you know, who knows what that is like maybe he's being sent random links and whatever You know what I mean, but I don't think that he's like totally cut off from the world Just because I don't know what everyone says about what it's like to interact with him like he's not like a total shut-in I Think that's true, but I think it's all highly curated for him and it all comes to him and I don't think he's doing any discovery and I Don't like he's not out in public where people would be singing don't look back in anger that much You know, but that's a really old song like that's not a new song So I think like that's true, but you think he was like, what's the story morning glory in the 90s? Like maybe at least this is really huge and he wants to be British and it's me. That's true Okay, so all right. I just it I doesn't look like he's hugely familiar. That's all I think it's less likely that he knew Taylor Swift songs than Oasis. I Could see that except I could see him Like being aside being sent like these are this is what you need to know about Taylor Swift ahead of time before the like a dossier You know, right and so him learning about that and I mean, that's right He wouldn't learn the words to the songs, but he would at least be like generally familiar Right, right. Yeah, I still I still think that he like there's much more life I don't know Oasis and Taylor Swift. Okay. Do you think he knows a lot of coldplay? I? Don't know about that one that seems less likely to me Yeah, so that's like very like mainstream from his dark from like his real dark era around at the right exactly When he was just like not dialed in every day exactly I Mean do you so do you think he watches any TV? Yeah, but like probably the same way that Megan and Harry do where it's like just really basic or like really simple stuff Like the stuff I said they watch was like I'm trying to remember but it was like sort of whatever on your Netflix home screen But I think he probably watches like some things again carried it, but I think he does right He doesn't have brain damage and he's like a week So he has to fill his time somehow and he can only work out so much He probably works out a lot though I know but then Tony's think he spends the rest of the time being like I need to learn about planes or I need to make Movies about how to make movies does he have a pilot license. I think so So presumably he's like done a lot of that, you know, yeah, that takes time I learned that from the crown, you know, you have to spend a lot of hours in the plane flight training and all that Okay. Well Have you ever been to Glastonbury? No. Oh, no, no, no, never. It's like a muddy middle of the nowhere experience Yeah, but also Sort of iconic. I don't you know, I didn't know whether like it is the the the Britishness of it spoke to you No, I don't really have an interest in concerts like out like it's just always like a hassle unless I of course it's a VIP experience in the city I agree with you. I mean like just like the logistics the getting there. I Also, don't love mud not really a camping person. Oh, yeah I think of Bridget Jones's experience and Bridget Jones's baby and like that's just a total. No. Yes Despite the Patrick the Patrick Dempsey of it all. Well, I thought that they looked they all looked great And like they were having a nice time Also with us like with something like that you could no one can get close like everything's just so far away So there's not really good. There isn't really a VIP experience. It's like being among the masses Right, so that's why they're all like at these random tents. Yeah, like watching DJ sets Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I also saw that Jillian Anderson was there I just love that she's another like adopted British person She seems to be thriving She really does on and off with Peter Morgan also just like de-camp to England and acts like she's British What is there be friends? They're on and off right now. I don't know can't keep up. I think they're The last I think so too because they accepted the awards pretty separately and without directly acknowledging each other at the last Emmys Right, or maybe I'm but who knows I guess I'm thinking about the COVID Emmys and Peter We're gonna say that was a while ago. Yeah, but the printer looms large for me Yeah, and also, you know love her seasons of the crown. Did you ever watch sex education? She's great on that too I didn't but I like all the graduates of sex education Can I just say that your water bottle looks tremendously like a vape and so I keep being I think it looks like something else actually It does as well, but so you've been taking sips of this water bottle and like you could really only see like the vape pen portion of it And I was like I did not know that Juliette had started vaping. No, and I certainly wouldn't do it during a podcast Listen, I would not judge. I only brought it up once I realized that it was not actually a vape and I was like, oh, okay Do you like your water bottle? I know you're on a constant search for one. It's okay. It's fine. Okay It's not like it's not a top shelf, but it's fine. I Need a new one, but I don't know go to like TJ Maxx or anything in the family. They have so many I Know but I want to like actually, you know, this one is this one is good. I'm just looking for I Man just holding analogy and I'm I'm a metal only I don't like to drink from plastic That's probably a good idea, but the metal gets so heavy, you know Yeah, I I joined all the girlies with the hydro flask, but then I'm just like lugging around an extra four pounds of water This is a hydro flask. Yeah, they have they have really good water bottles of TJ Maxx. That's our recommendation for you But I just so many I need to think more about like the straw versus the Yeah, they'll have all that for you to browse. I know but I'm not ready to browse yet Like I have to think what look within myself a little. That's what I'm saying. Okay. All right I wish you the best on that journey.

It looks fun Also trying to move on just in timber lake he's his tour continues has not been ruined however He started off by thanking people for sticking with him or so he started off by saying it's been really hard Then he started thanking people for sticking with him And now he's moved on to the phase where he's trying to make jokes about driving I believe it was in boston. Maybe chicago But I think it was boston or he made a joke about his anyone anyone driving tonight And then he was like just kidding And I have to imagine someone in his life has suggested this course of action of making jokes And that person needs to be fired. This is a really bad bad path for bad way forward but this is also like sort of the classic joustin timbre lake Thing of Yes, it's similar to the I don't know. I apologize to fucking anybody Right, but I also feel like even his sense of humor for a long time was like not that funny and sort of like Look at me being funny. You know, I I think a lot of the jimmy phalan stuff. It's like The two of them being like oh, isn't it wild that it's like these two guys doing this Isn't so funny that we're trying to be funny and I mean it wasn't really it was like fine and maybe occasionally charming and That has all run out as we learned by the global reaction To his arrest and right and the and the and the what tour meme but He's like still trying to do the old playbook, which I guess I mean, it's like the only playbook he has, you know He was successful for so long, but I I'm not charmed by him me neither and I also like It's not really funny. I will say on the other hand though last week. I know so many people who went to his tour in New York I think he did three nights mad since square garden And I know a lot of people who went like at least four. Wow. And do you know them or are they friends friends? Wow, okay. Yeah All right And so the tour is definitely not ruined, but I also get it like he has a lot of hits that you know And want to dance to I mean so like I understand like that being the appeal to go if you can also you already have Justin Timberlake The tickets and presumably the resale market isn't like really hot right now Martin Scorsese was in the audience for one of those nights and that sure was that was another thing that Justin Timberlake Did was shout out Martin Scorsese from the stage just trying to like associate himself with anyone Who can help anyone is a winner. Yeah, anyone that like might be good for him to be associated with. Yeah It was I just think this is not this is not the way I agree I don't know what the way is though. Like what should he do now? I mean, I don't know and presumably also he's like relying on this tour for income to You know, I mean he's got to keep going. He can't just be like, okay. I I know that And I don't think he should cancel. I just don't even know like what he does Next like he probably needs to take a break or do some kind of like other revenue generating Projects that don't have him front and center. He probably should just like do another trolls I guess because like that doesn't none of this impacts his ability to be a voice actor in trolls Well, there might be a world or two Right because trolls is probably children, but I think you're on the right track. I I think honestly he should lay low for a bit and then wait for someone to cast him in a movie in a sort of like Perverse or if not like villainous like a a role That everyone alpha dog like a role that you want to see him in that also allows him to Kind of engage with the fact that people have turned on him and maybe try to turn it back into Something good. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like something that yeah, like a real heel turn Just sort of like well, this is me now right or maybe like a character who just gets like totally screwed over or beat up on and he's like well, this is I've learned that people want to see this, you know, like I needed to go through some sort of like public whatever I I don't know if he would do that, but That probably seems like the best way and then once He has a little more favorite. I mean the other thing is just like musicians of his generation Are having a hard time selling tours, you know, like she also J. Lo see Black keys had to cancel. Yeah, I was about to say the black bros, but it was the black keys. Yeah, there is like if you are not Beyonce level grandfathered in then The tours aren't going as well as yeah Taylor so if the aero's tour would have you believe Right, right. Yeah, and like also it seems like if you don't have like a big feature Yeah, so I don't know what he should do with this is like definitely not it It's also just like not funny and also it's giving people more material to roast more. I'm oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but you know what? Give him the old jam session wish him well Carry on And good luck, sir. Yeah Okay, last topic of the day a little recommended viewing So you do recommend family affair. Yeah, Netflix starting to call kitman Zac afron. I sure do I had a great time So did I and joey king can't forget joey king. I have to tell you I I just came from a big pick recording session where there was the acclaim wasn't as universal And also I couldn't tell from the texts that you sent me on friday while watching it Whether it was a pro or con situation for you I was so astounded by some of the appearances in the film that it was distracting But then once I got past it, I was like, well, this is the kind of movie I would like to watch every friday evening Right after work. It's like once you accept the visual language Yes, then I was like, okay fair enough, you know, there's a lot of talk of grocery stores Which is the topic I enjoy love a love a romcom that can that can speak your language You know, it was very meta. I do hope that we get back to a place the romcom's like not having to acknowledge that it's of the genre Like just like let it breathe. But in the meantime Family affair is a great watch. Yeah, this was also meta about How about moviemaking basically, which maybe like everyone just like turned off the podcast and is never gonna watch it But no keep listening suzak afron plays A mega movie star and even like more famous version of himself and a malgable of the chris is her marvel Yes, exactly And joey king is his assistant and aspiring producer filmmaker and nicole kidman is joey king's mother who is Did you want a Pulitzer or just several national book awards? Okay, she wants a Pulitzer So I don't know what for For one of her novels, right? I guess and clear she also writes regularly for vogue and gets Paying clothes in clothes. So I'm I was trying to figure out like who is the real world inspo for nicole kidman's character I don't know like a Jennifer egan or something. Yeah, but no, she's she's ready for vogue. But something like that. Well, it's also no one Vogue doesn't really do that anymore, but like 15 years ago. That's what I did so So this movie like does have a whole subplot about getting movies made which then Makes sort of like their rom-com rom-com meta shoutouts, like make more sense I liked it in some ways it also reminded me of the fall guy another movie that I liked Did you like the fall guy? Did you see the fall guy? I didn't see it, but I do plan to once I can watch it at home as soon as it's available to watch it home It has been well. Do you mean on a streaming network? Yeah without having to pay $25 Well, I'll I'll let you know it has it is controversially been at home Available at home for for many weeks now. They really undercut it's it's theater, right? Well, that's okay I like Zac Efron. I I know that's not controversial, but it's also certainly not cool I thought he was really funny in this. I really like him. He's like a really talented person I think he's like troubled and I hope he's like doing better Yeah, but I like really enjoy watching him and things He was so good in the hairspray movie Like I really thought he was gonna be a descendant and then I think life gotten gotten the way for him But you know what? He moved to Australia and I think he's happy there He was really really good in the iron claw which was supposed to be an awards movie last year And then which was described as little women for boys and as I think like a good description I liked it and he's he's the center of the movie and really good I thought he was really good in this. I also the other like obvious comp here is the idea of you Which is the an Hathaway right? I still haven't watched it. Yeah, so no, it's fine I personally liked this film a lot more than the idea of you Primarily because I think the zach afron performance has a lot more life to it And I'm really happy to hear that. Shut up to zach Yeah, I just really wish him the best like I really hope that he's someone who can find happiness I thought he was funny like there are a lot of jokes at his character's expense. Yeah that he delivers with gusto Yeah, I I wanted many pieces of nicole kiddemann's wardrobe. So oh man The white blazer with the sparkly dress underneath. It was just such a great look She looked fantastic, but she's in this immaculate kitchen And here's the other thing I want to say speaking of this film's visual language is like The geographical logistics did not make a lot of sense But they spent money on most of the interiors In and they had taste and like and I could tell and I appreciated it and I will like really like that house once again, I have some questions about how a novelist even one Of the caliber presented in this film is affording this immaculate Like spanish colonial style palace that is somehow on the water water that like we're Obviously they were using like different exteriors and exteriors and then a set You know, it's not like an actual one house, but where do you think the beach scenes were filmed? Like upper malibu like almost an oxnard, right? Oh, okay. Yeah, that makes sense I mean just just beautiful the kitchen was great the cardigan that she was wearing In the kitchen so great also like a house that you'd actually want to live in it was really lovely It was like just great and then also we didn't even mention catty baits Who's also in this movie and also has a nice looking home? She is the mother-in-law of the dead. She is a mother-in-law also the editor And also a writer. Yes. Yeah, and the dead husband's also a right dead husband slash father It was a great time. There were some issues for sure But honestly like just some charming people also I don't really have strong opinions about joey king, but I thought she was really good Really fun. It was like also like kind of a mess in the right way She felt like a like a 26-year-old assistant. She was great and like and also hit the punch lines You know, yes everyone. Yes hit the comedic stuff I guess nicole kimin isn't given that much comedic stuff to do, but No, I liked it a lot. It was funny me too. Yeah flicks. Give me one every week But like please spend the money this way, you know like the The script was fine, but it was funny enough I It's hard to think of something that I that That involves really tasteful cream colored clothing at the shore that I don't like because I feel like that's a common thread Like wearing, you know looking like a page from a jaycrew catalog would done well And from the 90s, of course and this movie nails that that's true I just I just I liked how the money and the and the The production design was allocated in this it goes a long way I definitely also there's definitely like a lot of like expensive shoots like going to the grocery store, right? and the Yeah, yeah, and and it looked expensive money talks.
