As the conversation shifted to the juicier side of celebrity life, they dived into the latest on the controversies surrounding musical mogul Diddy, who is appealing his conviction for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution. Auntie Derek shared, “He’s fighting like hell to overturn his conviction, but prosecutors are pushing back… it will be interesting to see how this unfolds.” The discussion sparked a riveting debate among the hosts, with varying opinions on celebrity justice.

The laughter continued as they delved into some ratchet news stories, including a discussion surrounding the recent antics of rapper and entrepreneur Ray J, who found himself tangled in yet another legal issue concerning domestic violence.

In a more serious turn, they addressed ongoing social issues, highlighting unrest in Mexico where Americans are advised to shelter in place due to escalating violence from the drug cartels. Participants echoed concern, with Auntie Derek emphasizing the need for safety, "Stay where you are—take care of yourselves, folks."

As the session joyously transitioned from serious topics to celebrity reunions, it was revealed that the beloved Disney series Hannah Montana will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a special episode featuring Miley Cyrus, prompting laughter among the group. “I don’t even know if I would sit through one of those reboot shows, but give the people what they want!”

With the session wrapping up, the hosts encouraged listeners to engage in the weekly poll regarding celebrity news updates, fostering an atmosphere of involvement and excitement among the audience. They noted, “We want to hear from you! What do you think?”
