What's popping? Hey, it's a brand new rip today.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is 10 to
29. It means it's time for a little bit of
celebrity dish.
That's right. And today we have someone very special and
always special to have you.
Val Greenberg is live and in charge today,
you guys. Ohh, you always give me the best introduction.
I like that. I am in charge with that.
That's a fact. I would love that.
Alright, cool. You know I love being here.
Done. Deal. Yeah, it's good to have you here.
And I just love your energy.
Always a big ball of sunshine when you're here in
the studio.
Else. But I wanna view with all these compliments.
No, but seriously, it's August 1st.
I get to sit down with two of my favorite
people in one of my favorite cities.
Why not? Let's talk about all the good stuff today.
Right. Let's do it. Basically just smiling.
I can't stop that. You making a?
Hey, I'm watching too. Al Greenberg.
Let's get this started. You ready to do some dishing?
Let's dish. Alright, let's do it.
All right, guys. So breaking news in the entertainment world
this morning,
the one and only Cardi B is pulling the plug
on her marriage again,
filing for divorce from Offset.
TMZ has confirmed this. Let's bring in producer Chris now
to find out what we know about this.
Yeah, this announcement just came out in the last few
minutes,
and sources with direct knowledge close to the couple tell
TMZ that
the split has nothing to do with the latest cheating
rumors.
So this is a long time coming,
is the quote. The two have been growing apart for
a long time.
As one source put it,
they're just disconnected from each other.
So the star posted back in December on Instagram saying,
you know, when you just outgrow relationships.
I'm tired of protecting people's feelings.
I have to put myself 1st.
And it seems like that may have just been a
hint.
But like you said, Cardi B has officially filed for
divorce from Offset.
And it does come just days after he denied cheating
again when he was spotted out with another woman that
he had dated previously though.
Guys, fascinating breaking news for sure.
I mean, again, it feels a little bit of a
stretch because I don't know if they really separated the
first time it felt like they were still in the
mix. I mean, they got a kid together.
So this time I'm I'm I'm
kind of confused whether or not they will actually separate
themselves from each other.
Cardi is the epitome of strength.
She does not need a man.
She wants to be with offset,
but not if he's going to misbehave like that.
And I think she's kind of just had it.
That's really my take on the situation.
They have this beautiful child together.
Actually, they have two. They have a boy and a
girl.
So they're a family. But at the same time,
she has to also maintain her reputation,
that she is strong, she is confident,
and she doesn't need a man.
She'll have a man if he's good to her.
And clearly with all these whispers,
rumors, and maybe she'll make a song out of it,
like, you know who?
We'll see. Maybe. I mean,
it's been years of these rumors of infidelity and her
just,
you know, just being fed up,
right? I mean, honestly, I lost track of where they
were in their relationship.
I'm with you on that.
It's been hard. Yeah, separated.
But then you see them showing up together.
And I know Co parenting is definitely important in maintaining,
you know, a reasonable, absolute friendship or relationship to make
it work for the kids.
But if this is how she feels,
I mean, hey, you got to do what makes you
happy,
right? She's not someone to be messed with.
So I'm really shocked that she kind of
stood around these rumors for so long.
Yeah, well, I'm sure she loves him.
Sometimes love makes you do.
That's an absolutely. Right. But they've been together for a
while.
And I think maybe it's just time where she said
enough is enough.
His behavior is off. Yeah.
I think even they lost track of where they are
in their relationship.
And I think This is why it's boiled to this
point.
All right, Chris, from one drama to the next.
Yeah, some more Hollywood divorce news.
We're talking about Jlo and Ben because her love may
not cost a thing,
but the divorce, if it happens,
could cost her. I like what we did there.
I know we've been following this saga for a while
now,
too. The two are once again apparently pushing ahead with
divorce after a final attempt at reconciliation in recent weeks
failed.
That's according to the Daily Mail.
The couples divorce documents are finalized according to the paper,
but not yet turned in,
multiple sources telling the Daily Mail.
So we'll kind of have to wait and see what
happens with them as well.
They've circled the block too,
as you know. I'm telling you,
spinning the block is the new,
it's the new black. I mean,
it's just, it's just so prevalent these days.
You got to spin the block because there's nothing out
here on the street.
Well, I will say though,
I keep missing Jlo because she's been spending a lot
of time in the Hamptons on and off,
just like she had a birthday party there,
but it wasn't there. She's like,
I've been photographed quite a bit and that's why I've
been hanging out.
So why do I keep missing Jlo?
Literally like, I'll get to a restaurant after she's there.
So I think that she's like kind of removing herself
from Hollywood for the moment.
And because she's like, this is where people go to
kind of chill out veg,
but also she's strategically getting photographed
so they're clearly going through something.
And I won't be shocked because how many times has
Jenny from the Lock been divorced?
Lots. She has, Yeah,
she's have a little now.
She has a lot of divorces,
but she's still Jenny from the block.
Yes, she is. She will spin the block at any
given moment.
Christopher, let's talk about this next story.
Yeah, This is an Olympic sized view that we talked
about a little bit yesterday.
The most decorated Olympic gymnast in America and a former
teammate.
So this is some bad blood involving Team USA.
The other woman in the center of this is Michaela
Skinner.
We told you about her.
She was a former member of Team USA.
Yesterday I told you. Michaela and Simone butted heads earlier
this summer
after Michaela questioned the talent and depth the current USA
Gymnastics squad has.
Simone hit back this week on Instagram after Team USA
won their gold medal.
But that was apparently just the beginning.
Yesterday, Simone told her nearly 2,000,000 followers on X.
I've been blocked. People had suspicions it involved Michaela,
but then they got confirmation when teammate Jordan Chiles shared
a snap of a phone showing Simone was in fact
blocked.
But that's not the only member of Team USA weighing
into this drama,
because fellow team member SUNY Lee also entered the chat
posting.
Put a finger down if Simone Biles just ended you.
Oh, Makayla Skinner is really.
Oh, really? Taking it on the chin from other Team
USA members.
And I, I called to Jordan Chiles's mom.
She, I loved to do this,
Yeah. On Twitter and said,
I can't believe that she basically she said this and
posted it and said it out loud and then tried
to clean it up.
Here's the thing. Let these girls have their moment.
I mean, Simona's like, hands down the best gymnast in
the world.
Like, time and time again.
Clearly she didn't participate last Olympics and now all these
girls won gold.
Like let them have it.
And if you're a former Olympian,
you should understand that like letting them be present in
the moment.
You shouldn't start mixing the pot.
You should all we need to be on each others
side in this scenario.
And it's really unfortunate and we talked about this yesterday.
It's just how big of a moment this this is
for,
for not only women's in sports,
you know, you got a huge basketball season happening right
now.
You got a lot of women just dominating the sports
industry.
And, and to hear, you know,
Simone Biles having to deal with the the hate,
the frustration, the trolls, it just makes you a little
disappointed.
But I know, Chris, we want to get in this
last story here.
Yeah, we teased it at the top of the show.
This one is about $0.50 and Diddy because Curtis Jackson
is speaking out in a new interview with The Hollywood
Reporter about their bad blood.
Another story about bad blood.
He told The Hollywood Reporter about his tense relationship.
He says he was adamant,
I should say that he never partied or even hung
out with Diddy.
He also spoke about the video showing Diddy hitting his
ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
He said the people in power let Diddy get away
with it.
He basically said he let him get away with it.
He said some may have been having too much fun,
others just turned a blind eye.
Guys, I have so much respect for 50 because he
really just calls it like he sees it.
He's so just upfront about the facts that he really
thinks are true.
And I I respect it.
He's not trying to be on anybody's side.
Yeah. What's interesting about this,
too, I think it was People magazine where I saw
this,
that a documentary could be in the works that that
tells this story.
So far, the allegations, the proceeds would go to victims
of sexual assault.
I think it's just been no secret that they've had
this long time rivalry.
But like you say, I mean,
he's he's gonna tell it like it is.
If he's a great guy.
I've met him personally. I I just.
I adore him. Val. Who don't you know
Val? And I know you too.
So that's why I'm the luckiest.
We'll we'll take that. Alright.
Val Bloomberg. Good to have you on Celebrity Dish today.
Are you sitting on for my lunch hour?
You better believe it. It's my absolute honour.
OK. Wow. We got her all day y'all.
