Entanglements! Nancy Rommelmann and Sarah Hepola Take On Hollywood

4

Entanglements, they're everywhere!

In this episode of the Paloma Media podcast, Sarah Hepola and I look at:

+ The Will Smith-Jada Pinkett Smith turmoil

+ The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard mess

+ Online's "cruelty in the name of justice!" flamers

Plus the modern complications of monogamy, Veronica Lake's hair (good!), the world of child actors in Hollywood (mostly bad), why John Updike got it right when he said, "Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face,” and more!
