About this episode

Maureen Callahan and Rob Shuter discuss celebrity controversies, including Prince Harry's trip to London and Oprah's backlash over past comments.

Maureen Callahan is joined by celebrity reporter and royal insider Rob Shuter for some real talk about fake people, including how Taylor Swift invited people she barely knows and still left Blake Lively off the list, how Prince Harry decided to return to London without Meghan and their kids and why he wasn't staying at Buckingham Palace. They also break down the backlash facing Oprah Winfrey over controversial comments she made about Whitney Houston’s 2009 appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," and dive into the dark past of the late music mogul Clive Davis, examining the longstanding allegations that have followed his career and the controversies attached to his legacy. Rob dishes on Andy Cohen's future at CNN, including why he and Anderson Cooper's time might be limited. Maureen then pivots to Troublemaker feedback on David Sedaris, Jack Schlossberg and The Nerve's segment about friendship fallouts, before launching into more intel about our newest cultural offender, Al Roker.
