B.A.P.S in Paradise
Rom-Com Sequels, Love Island Breakup Tea, New Celebrity Couples and Birds of Paradise
This week, Brandy and Chanel deliver their signature mix of hot takes, witty banter, and pop culture scoop, kicking things off with spicy reactions to breaking rom-com news—including Celine Song’s surprising new gig and the ongoing drama of Hollywood sequels and reboots. As always, our hosts don’t shy away from the latest celebrity coupling gossip, from Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson to the eyebrow-raising rumors around Tom Cruise and Anna De Armas, plus Katy Perry’s unexpected dinner companion.
Of course, the heart of the episode is a deep dive into Bachelor in Paradise mayhem—both with the Golden contestants and the younger crowd. Chanel drops a juicy Love Island update, while Brandy dishes on everything from questionable fashion campaigns to viral celebrity commentary (Doja Cat weighing in on the American Eagle/Sydney Sweeney drama wasn't on our bingo card). Expect laugh-out-loud recaps of wild date setups, chaotic rose ceremony predictions, over-the-top challenge moments (hello, Birds of Paradise mating dance!), and all the strategy and messy drama you absolutely love.
