Summary

Hiya! On today’s show: Louis Tomlinson’s interview on the DOAC might just be the best celebrity interview we’ve ever listened to, Dolly Parton posted a… proof-of-life video but more on that later, and we might have our ‘first egg on us for egging ourselves too early’ situation on our hands, because Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau very much look like a couple!!!! Then, we share some of Diane Keaton’s most iconic quotes after the news of her passing, and finally, why is Travis Kelce signing Taylor Swift’s CDs lol. This week, Zara recommended Louis Theroux interviewing Ed Sheeran. And here is the link to Louis Tomlinson on The Diary of a CEO. Big thanks to Bumble for making this episode possible.

0:07.8	This episode of Shameless is brought to you by Bumble.
0:10.7	Give love and Bumble another shot. Hello and welcome to Shameless, the pop culture podcast for smart people who love dumb stuff.
0:43.5	You're joined, as always, by Melbourne writers, Michelle Andrews, that would be me, and Zara McDonald, that would be you.
0:49.7	Hello, Michelle Andrews, and hello, producer Annabelle Lee.
0:52.2	Hello!
0:52.9	Hi, coming up on today's show,
0:55.3	Louis Tomlinson's interview on the Diary of a CEO might just be the best celebrity
1:00.0	interview we've ever listened to. Dolly Parton posted a proof of life video, but more on that later
1:05.4	and we might have our first egg on us for egging ourselves too early situation on our hands because
1:11.1	Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau have been making out on a yacht. Then we need to talk
1:16.8	about Diane Keaton's most iconic quotes given her passing and finally why the
1:21.8	fuck is Travis Kelsey signing Taylor Swift's CDs? Certainly the top of my mind

And we need to pause on that. You said reality TV show. Dressed up as a documentary. And in the last few days, she's announced her EAR as to a documentary. I don't want the win. That's not the win. Guys. I am not the Oracle for that. We can have a higher bar for me. We can. We can and we will. We really truly should. We got so many DMs from the listeners. Dare I say more DMs than we've received about perhaps anything in 2025. So many DMs that they were then infiltrating my DM inbox Annabelle.
2:19.8	There was a small but mighty contingent of the shamelessly
2:23.2	listenership demanding, I apologize to Zara, because she is correct that we're getting
2:28.3	some kind of like Christmas-themed document.
2:31.4	No, no, no, no, no, no, we all knew that a fucking behind the scenes at the
