About this listen

Entertainment Baby is your new favorite excuse to keep up with everything glittery, messy, and must-watch in pop culture—without doom-scrolling your entire feed. Each episode dives into the biggest stories in entertainment and celebrity news so you always know what everyone’s talking about, from red carpet chaos and TikTok drama to surprise album drops and TV twists you did not see coming.

This is the podcast for people who love Hollywood gossip but still want context, not just headlines. Entertainment Baby breaks down the week’s wildest moments in movies, TV-series, music, streaming, awards shows, and internet culture. You’ll hear what happened, why everyone’s freaking out about it, and whether it’s actually worth your time or just another overhyped trend. Think of it as your lively, slightly chaotic best friend who has already watched, listened to, and scrolled through everything so you don’t have to.

Every episode mixes news, smart commentary, and unapologetic fan energy. One moment we’re dissecting a buzzy new series or movie franchise, the next we’re ranking wild award-show looks, judging celebrity apologies, or asking the important questions like: Do we really need this reboot? Is this viral hit actually good, or is it just algorithm magic? We’ll follow your favorite actors, artists, creators, and reality stars, but we’ll also spotlight rising names you’ll be bragging about discovering first.

Entertainment Baby isn’t just about what’s trending—it’s about what’s worth caring about. We’ll talk storylines, casting decisions, soundtracks, fandoms, box office wins and flops, cancelled tours, surprise collaborations, and the behind-the-scenes moves shaping pop culture. If there’s a big franchise announcement, a shocking breakup, a shady PR move, or a music drop that breaks the internet, we’re on it. If there’s a series everyone swears you “have to watch,” we’ll let you know if they’re actually right.

Expect spoiler-free first impressions when something is brand new, and clearly marked deep-dive episodes when we go all in on endings, theories, and fan reactions. We’ll compare remakes to originals, talk about why certain characters become instant icons, and explore how social media is changing the way we experience celebrities and entertainment in real time. It’s curious, fun, sometimes a little chaotic, but always in on the joke.

This podcast is made for people who live for award season, binge whole seasons in a weekend, have that one comfort show, make playlists for every mood, and always know the release date of the next big thing. Whether you’re a film nerd, chart-watcher, reality TV addict, or just here for the memes, Entertainment Baby gives you a front row seat to the pop culture circus.

So grab your headphones, press play, and let the drama roll. New episodes keep you in the loop on the latest entertainment and celebrity news, the TV and movies you should actually be watching, and the music drops you don’t want to miss. Hit follow, because in a world where everything is content, Entertainment Baby is where the fun starts.

    Wicked Wins, Raymond Resists, and a President Wants Rush Hour 4
    Nov 25 2025

    In this episode of Entertainment Baby, we dive straight into the beautiful chaos of the entertainment universe and try to make sense of it all—from billion-dollar franchises to painfully human fallout behind the scenes.

    We start with the monster success of Wicked: For Good and unpack how Universal turned a risky two-part adaptation into a box office juggernaut. You’ll hear the wild numbers behind its opening weekend, the $330 million global promo machine, and the 400-plus brand partnerships that made the film literally unavoidable—from Dunkin’ collabs and Airbnb stays to Pottery Barn dorm rooms, Lush bath bombs, P&G products, and Amazon’s full ecosystem push.

    From there, we zoom in on the creative pressure cooker behind that corporate spectacle: director Jon M. Chu protecting his final shot from studio notes, an improvised emotional moment with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo that stayed in the film, and how the role of Glinda helped Ariana process touring trauma and rethink her entire career—possibly stepping away from pop mega-tours in favor of Broadway.

    Legacy becomes a recurring theme as we break down Everybody Loves Raymond’s 30th anniversary reunion and why Ray Romano and Phil Rosenthal flatly refuse a reboot. We contrast that with Hollywood’s reboot fever: a new Exorcist led by Scarlett Johansson and Mike Flanagan, and the surreal report that a sitting U.S. president is personally lobbying for Rush Hour 4—with all the ethical questions that come with Brett Ratner’s potential return.

    The stakes get very real as we cover a $9.12 million attic discovery of Superman #1, the possible forced sale of Nicki Minaj’s $20 million mansion over an unpaid judgment, and the sealed-record investigation surrounding singer D4VD after a tragic death linked to his towed car.

    We also explore Catherine Bigelow’s nuclear-crisis thriller told in real time, the Duffer Brothers’ official Stranger Things 5 rewatch roadmap and theatrical series finale, and a whirlwind of celebrity relationship updates—from Glenn Powell’s new romance and Kylie–Timothée holiday plans to Jessica Simpson’s throwback Ashton Kutcher story.

    On stage and in music, we look at the brutal economics behind The Queen of Versailles closing early on Broadway, Kandi Burruss navigating a very public divorce while insisting on a united family front, Eric Dane turning his real-life ALS diagnosis into powerful TV advocacy, Hilary Duff’s reflective pop comeback, the global mourning for reggae icon Jimmy Cliff, and Zach Bryan’s record-shattering stadium era.

    We end on the big question running through all of it: in a world where reality TV is semi-scripted, franchises are precision-engineered, and even presidents pitch buddy-cop sequels, how much of what we watch is authentic—and how much is strategically manufactured?

    Hit play to get the context, the connections, and the cultural questions behind the week’s wildest entertainment stories.
