I'm your host, Rob Shooter, and here on our podcast, we bring you every day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, all the breaking, the biggest, the most exclusive celebrity news. I can't do it by myself. I don't want to. I want to do it a few guys, but also a very special friend. My friend, Donnie Meacham from Naughty Gossip.com, you join us every Tuesday. Hello, Donnie. How are you? Hello, I am good. My favorite day of the week is Tuesdays. I love being here. Thank you very much. Last night I went to Madison Square Garden to see the biggest star I've ever seen. Guess who? Barry Manlow. Bigger. Dare I say. Sorry, Barry. Madonna. Bigger, bigger. It was the Westminster Dog Show. Woof, woof, woof. It's so crazy. You can buy tickets to the dog show like it's share. It's insane. And you could actually go backstage and pet Billy Joel or, you know, a dog called Billy Joel. It was really, really great.

Whoever presents that is the biggest star in the room and they all know it, they all judge.

Everything's a hierarchy. Isn't it awful? In life, everything? We're all such snobs. Well, Harry and Megan are two of the biggest stars in the world, certainly at the moment. So they were offered the biggest award of the night, the best picture. They turned it down. I wonder if Jane Fonda knows that she was the second choice. Jane Fonda presented Best Picture.
