About this episode

Maureen Callahan discusses the toxic influence of Hollywood on young women and the Knicks' impact on New York City.

Maureen Callahan exposes the dark reality of Hollywood's toxic influence on young women. She begins with Anna Faris' erratic red-carpet behavior, her emaciated appearance and bizarre mannerisms at the "Scary Movie 6" premiere, then turns to Selena Gomez's palpable insecurities, Amanda Bynes' extreme physical and mental downturn, Hayden Panettiere’s slurred speech and detachment from reality, and questions why the mainstream media is pretending not to notice. Maureen also touches on Madonna’s most recent Times Square performance, calling out her desperation and unwillingness to let go of her youth. Later, Maureen is joined by Bill from Brooklyn to discuss the Knicks historic winning streak and its unified effect on New York City.
