Tales from the Celebrity Trenches
Tom & Zendaya: Have they NAILED celeb life?
Season 1, Ep. 20
•
Tom Holland and Zendaya hosted a secret private party to celebrate their wedding (after getting married earlier this year) at a posh hotel, but are they also the nicest couple in Hollywood? Jamie has met them IRL (his story is WILD!) and he has a theory about how they’ve managed to be the biggest stars in the world AND survive the celebrity machine without completely losing the plot!
Meanwhile, has Raye finally found the husband she’s been singing about? A rollercoaster, Michael B. Jordan and quite a lot of phone footage has us asking: Is this the soft launch of Hollywood’s hottest new couple?
One very lucky New Yorker discovers she’s been living in a mega star’s old apartment AND has been receiving their mail, leading to one of the strangest celebrity meet-ups we’ve seen in a while!
Plus, Will Ferrell’s musician son Magnus has a song out, and it’s actually alright. So where do we stand on nepo babies? Is being “born lucky” enough to get you “through the door” to global fame? Or do you actually have to be good to survive?
Buckle up, it’s your Celebrity Trenches Weekly Dispatch!
