That's Showbiz Baby!

We recount our oh-so-glamorous experience at the Chemist Warehouse brand showcase, where we were treated like second class citezens in favour of influencers and reality TV contestants. Because who doesn't love feeling like a nobody next to someone who gets paid to post selfies? Alex was irate but Jordy resigned herself to this reality of showbiz long ago...Tom Gleeson responded to our snarky video exposing him as a liar, but Jordy still isn't convinced he'll come on the pod.We discuss the Oasis reunion, an infamous spat between 2 Neighbours cast members & question whether we'll ever know the truth about Harry & Meghan. Jordy has been watching Netflix doco Popstar Academy, and recounts the time she was almost in a movie musical about a girlband titled, "The Chickabees". Spoiler alert: the movie never received funding, so naturally we're starting a campaign to get it off the ground!Rate, review, subscribe & stay up to date on socials @thatsshowbizbaby.pod !!!

Larry Emdur won the Gold Logie and we don't mean to brag, but we called it. From Rebecca Gibney's son to Raygun's cameo appearance, we recap Australian television's night of nights and Alex reminds us again that she's worked with most of the Gold nominees.We also expose Tom Gleeson for lies he spun to Alex' Dad...yes, you read that right, listen for context...We do a deep dive into the drama surrounding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's film adaptation of "It Ends With Us." Power dynamics and claims of fat-shaming in showbiz? Shocking, we know. While celebs and their bad behaviour might once have been protected, it seems the tide is turning. While we don't expect them to be puretins, can we hit pause on expecting celebs to save the world? Stay up to date with the latest from us at ItsAllHer.com/thatsshowbizbaby or on socials @thatsshowbizbaby.pod

Strap yourselves in for 45 minutes of a mix of old & new Logies stories from Australian Televisions night of nights!In this special Logies bumper episode we cover:- The soap opera rivalry between "Home & Away" & "Neighbours", because nothing says high stakes like fictional beach towns and suburban drama.- Alex's awkward red carpet interview with a mystery actress- Logies after-parties: where the real entertainment begins -How Seal (the singer, not the marine mammal) almost got Jordy sued - Our Gold Logie predictions, which was basically a chance for Alex to name-drop celebrity pals & old colleagues, while pretending she has any interest at all in who wins.

In our biggest (literally, our longest) episode yet, we dive headfirst into the Breaker that stole the Olympics, Raygun. From the murky qualification process to the absurd dance moves, it all just feels a little off for us. But somehow the Australian Olympic Committee is trying to convince us that WE are the arseholes.Speaking of arseholes, Alex has been trolled in the comments on the Daily Mail & of course Jordy performs a dramatic reading (any chance to practice her craft right?) We discuss Sam Armytage's surprise endorsement of our pod, but then come to the conclusion that we're actually not surprised at all. Classic us...We add to the dumpster fire that is Channel 7 when ex-reporter Talitha Cummins drops by. Talitha shares how the pressures of showbiz contributed to her alcoholism & why she walked away from the industry (but not in too much detail, because, NDA). It was delightful to hear how Talitha has rediscovered herself & a passion in the diamond industry.We touch on the 4 Corners report on Channel 7's heinous culture & though we both felt deeply confronted, we weren't in the slightest bit surprised.Stay tuned as we keep waving the flag for better treatment and a deep clean of the industry. We'll be sharing more of our own juicy stories, and calling on YOU to share yours. DM us @thatsshowbizbaby.pod or email showbiz@itsallher.com

LIWe're BACK BABY! After a short production break, we're out of Jordy's study & IN STUDIO! Alex gives us the rundown from her first audition, which of course Jordy insisted on chaperoning her to/from & documenting for content. Will Alex become the face of a national brand? Will she create a Starnow profile? Only time will tell...In Aussie media news, Sam Armytage announced her departure from Channel 7 after 21 years on Instagram last week.Fans (& friends) of TSB will know Alex once worked as a digital producer on Sunrise, so we decided to open up the (breakfast TV shaped) can of worms & spill the tea on what is the biggest pressure cooker in showbiz.Alex reveals just how stressful live television can be, the 'mortifying' email she once received from Sam Armytage herself & the strict legalities around the infamous Cash Cow.Lastly, we question if viewers still want 'polished' presenters & higher production value when it comes to free-to-air TV. We'd love to hear your thoughts, but don't slide into our DMs just to tell us you don't watch TV at all, okay?FOLLOW us on Instagram @thatsshowbizbaby.pod More links:Listen to Jordy's interview with Natalie Barr on Apple or Spotify
