Almost 60 years after Judy Garland’s tragic death, she still remains one of Hollywood’s most fascinating (and heartbreaking) talents. As a girl, her powerful voice catches the attention of legendary movie producer, Louis B. Mayer, and she’s on her way. Thanks to her iconic role in “The Wizard of Oz,” Judy cements herself as one of the world’s biggest and brightest stars. But a steady cocktail of uppers and downers as a youngster - prescribed by doctors at MGM - will haunt the “Over the Rainbow” singer for the rest of her way-too-short life. But despite her untimely death, Judy’s legacy lives on. You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Born in New Orleans, young Tyler Perry is forced to contend with all sorts of abuse. Some is at the hands of his explosive and alcoholic father, as well as neighbors and people he thought he could trust. Eventually, he escapes to Atlanta to pursue his dreams of writing and performing - while working countless menial jobs and living in his car along the way. But in 1998, when his lead actress doesn’t show up to perform in his play, he rewrites the entire show overnight - with his character (Madea) now the lead. And just like that - everything changes. Tyler strikes gold - tapping into an audience that, up until then - had been ignored by Hollywood. Madea makes Tyler an instant star, and sets him on a course to become one of the most powerful and influential figures in entertainment.

Houston, we have a girl power problem. More specifically, a rich celebrity girl problem. On Monday, Katy Perry and Gayle King blasted off into outer space on the latest Blue Origin rocket. And ever since they reentered the earth’s atmosphere, celebrities are firing on all cylinders. Olivia Munn, Olivia Wilde, and Emily Ratajkowski have all openly criticized the launch, accusing everyone onboard for girlbossing a little too close to the sun. Up next, we have the latest on “The White Lotus” star, Aimee Lou Wood. She made headlines last week over a rumored feud with co-star Walton Goggins. Now, she’s clapping back at “Saturday Night Live’s” spoof of her physical appearance. And it’s been a minute since our last “It Ends with Us” update. So we’re catching you up on the two “It Ends with Us” players who are speaking up in defense of Justin Baldoni and trash talking Blake Lively!

Whoopi Goldberg has had a life. And then some. Long before she became a Hollywood icon (and the first Black woman to achieve EGOT status), she struggles with substance abuse, trouble at school, and teenage pregnancy. And then she becomes a mom at just 17. But her unique comedy voice captures the attention of legendary writer/director Mike Nichols who sees something special in her. He brings her to Broadway, where she becomes the toast of the town, and the trajectory of her life is completely altered. What follows next for Whoopi is a career that breaks boundaries and records, and even gets her blacklisted in Hollywood.

A Wondery original podcast so compelling it was reimagined for TV starring Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate, Sissy Spacek, and more… When Molly's diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer, she decides to do something bold: she leaves her unhappy marriage and embarks on a series of sexual adventures to help her feel alive. She shares the funniest and most touching details with her closest friend, host Nikki Boyer. As they peel back the layers, we learn that Molly isn’t just grappling with breast cancer: she's also dealing with some trauma from her past. Along the journey, the friends explore bigger themes that affect us all -- like healing, forgiveness and what do we do with the time we have left.

Christina Applegate has always had a dark sense of humor. And she leans on it big time to deal with a series of enormous obstacles and challenges. As a child star-turned-household name (thanks to 11 seasons on “Married...with Children”) Christina avoids the pitfalls of other kid actors and becomes one of Hollywood’s leading ladies of comedy. She’s riding high on the heels of an Emmy-winning turn on “Friends,” and a successful string of movies (“Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” “Vacation”). But when she begins to develop serious and mysterious symptoms on the set of her Netflix show, “Dead to Me,” Christina’s health takes a devastating turn. And her dark sense of humor is put to the test like never before. You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Richies, there’s a lot to get into this week. If you watched “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend, you know all about musical guest Morgan Wallen’s awkward goodbye. He bolted off stage while the cameras were still rolling. And now, “SNL” vet Kenan Thompson is sharing how he feels about Morgan’s controversial departure. After that, we’ll get into all the rumors swirling around Sydney Sweeney and her newly called-off engagement. (And how her “Anyone but You” co-star, Glen Powell, might factor in!) And wrapping up today’s episode, we have a fitting tribute to a star we lost way too soon - Val Kilmer.

As a kid in Australia, Margot Robbie knows she wants to be a movie star, but doesn’t think it’s possible. But after wowing audiences with her star turn (and convincing Brooklyn accent) in Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street,” the Aussie is well on her way. And she flips her own script by developing material for herself, like 2017's “I, Tonya,” which scores her an Oscar nomination. And Margot doesn’t stop there. She decides to tackle a project that’s so iffy it’s already been passed over by some of Hollywood’s biggest leading ladies. She develops, produces and stars in “Barbie.” It’s a smash and cultural phenomenon that cements Margot’s place at the top of the Hollywood food chain. We’re just Margot girls living in a Margot world! You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.
