Chapter 3: What shocking claims are being made about John Travolta's family?
Rob is going to join us for the Globes live stream. We've got to get you hooked up with some nerve merch.
Are we dressing up for that? Am I wearing a tuxedo? Is it Oscar night? I mean, my dog's going to wear a tuxedo, Rob.
So, you know, come as you like. Woof, woof. Okay, first up, we have got to talk Nicole Kinman and Keith Urban. The Daily Mail broke this story on Tuesday. They have made a major, they've reached a major agreement in their divorce settlement. They're gonna split the money cleanly. They leave with what they came in with, with what they earned during the marriage. What's most incredible about this
Nicole and Keith have two daughters. They are ages 17 and 15. Nicole will have custody of the girls for 306 days out of the year. That gives Keith 59 days or every other weekend. What does this say to us, Rob?
Chapter 4: What details have emerged regarding Mickey Rourke's GoFundMe controversy?
Yeah, this is shocking, isn't it? So the money is interesting. I love knowing, not just with celebrities, but my friends. I love when they break up to find out who's going to get what. Who's going to get the piano? Who's going to get the fine china? So we know here that they're going to split everything 50-50. What's interesting is I don't believe... they ever gave up their individual homes.
So when they said they had a family home together, I don't believe that was the case. She had her properties when she went into the marriage, obviously Australia being a big place for both of them, but they also had a Nashville home. They have apartments in New York and LA. So whoever... purchase those apartments is going to get them.
And then as far as assets, I think they're going to pretty much split what they have, or not split it, take away what they brought in. Now, these are two very, very successful people. Both have massive careers, so nobody here... needs to pay spousal support or child support. So no surprises there. Also, too, we knew financially this was not going to be too messy because they did it themselves.
Chapter 5: What are the allegations against Will Smith and Tyler Perry?
Before they sat down with the lawyer, they'd already sat down and decided who was going to get what. They did have a prenup, too, which always, always helps. But the shocking part of this and the story we're going to be talking about for days is the kids, right? Who gets the kids? She gets them. And she doesn't get 50% of them.
My math is not good, but I think that's like 80, 90% of them she gets, which is remarkable because her children that we never talk about with Tom Cruise, she doesn't see them allegedly at all. But with her biological kids, Mother Bear wants them around her all the time. Yeah.
You know, it's so interesting, her children with Tom Cruise, they adopted a son and a daughter. I've read reports over the years that she has extended overtures to those children multiple times and letting them know she is there. You know, Scientology, the reports are deemed her a quote-unquote SP, a suppressive person.
She's always, you know, preserved their privacy vis-a-vis whatever's going on in that dynamic. But to me, this is such, this is almost like You know, the children are of age practically. And it sounds to me like they said, well, we'd rather be with you.
And it says to me that all those reports of Keith Urban humiliating Nicole Kidman on the road all over Nashville with multiple women reportedly, allegedly, you know, the girls know about it and they don't like it.
Hmm. I think you're on to something, Maureen. I hit the phones and spoke to my sources to see what was going on here, and they are not surprised that Keith has agreed to this.

Chapter 6: How is Oprah Winfrey addressing her weight loss and health claims?
And the reason they're not surprised is that Nicole knows everything. I am not implying blackmail here, but I'm saying Keith is treading very, very carefully. He loves those kids. He does. He might not have been the greatest husband. In fact, I'm pretty sure he wasn't. But all reports are that he loves his daughter. So the fact... that he's going to agree to this, that he's not going to fight.
That tells us something. Why is he not fighting? Some people foolishly argue he's a musician, he's on the road, he's never home, he's a multimillionaire, he can afford a private play and he can make this work if he wants to. And let's remember... Nicole has a pretty amazing career too. So she's pretty busy as well.
Keith has enough money that he could take two, three years off and just stay home with the kids. He's not going to get the kids. He wanted the kids. And I'm told that instead of going for money here, Nicole's priority was getting the children. And she got them.
Chapter 7: What historical context is provided about Oprah's past interviews?
So when this story first broke, Rob, you and I had multiple conversations about it.
And I said to you, I think the severity of this and with the daughters so clearly siding with Nicole, we saw it at Paris Fashion Week, led me to believe that this, and this is just my supposition, my own theorizing, goes beyond mere philandering, which is so common as to be acceptable at celebrity levels, at wealth levels like that. I think... he knocked somebody up. That's what I think.
That is the only explanation I could see for his young daughters being like, we want nothing to do with you.
Yeah, I haven't been able to crack this. You're onto something. There's something really big here. My spider senses, and we've done this a long time, Maureen, this is really odd. This is not how these divorces happen unless there is either a big secret or something there that is so deeply humiliating that they have decided to walk away from this.
Brad Pitt, who has a lot of skeletons in his closet when it comes to his children, he fought to get his kids divorced. And so Brad's fighting and Keith's not. What is it? What has he done? Or what is it that the kids don't want to be around him? It is interesting. You did point out, Maureen, and you're so sharp at this. Photographs, appearances, they tell you everything.
The kids are with their mom.

Chapter 8: What closing thoughts are shared about celebrity culture and accountability?
They're not with their dad. They're at the age now. They're not little kiddies. They're at the age where they could go to Nashville and spend a week with their dad. They could go on the road with their dad. They have chosen not to. They are spending time with their mom. We've seen them at fashion events. They are definitely 100% Team Nicole on this.
I think we're going to probably see them on a red carpet together once again after this divorce is finalized to prove that they are a unit. That's the unit. And my sources tell me that he might have them legally for 59 days, but the kids... might want to see him even less.
Well, we will be following this story as it continues to develop. As far as celebrity divorces go, it is a fascinating one. Now let's talk about a couple- Can I just have a quick jump in on it?
Oh, yes, please. There's a really lovely story that I've not broke yet, but let's do it here on The Nerve. Nicole, now, this is a big thing ladies, leading. Nicole is now wearing her hair natural. I'm told Keith hated her curly hair. So you're going to see lots of photographs of Nicole now finally wearing her hair the way she likes it.
Honestly, everybody, boys, girls, ladies, gentlemen, if you have to change your hair to keep your partner, get rid of the partner. So Nicole's back to her natural hair.
Yes, it's clearly Keith got custody of the flat iron. Okay. Good for Nicole. Good for Nicole. Okay. Now let's talk about Meghan and Harry. A couple I believe will be on the divorce track soon if they are not already. They seem to be having so much financial distress. I mean, Netflix is done.
netflix is done uh harry as we last spoke about has been giving um you know speeches to like real estate consortiums uh in hilton's around america for a few hundred k now according to radar a report uh published december 28th the headline prince harry and megan markle quote set to charge fortunes for dinner dates after auctioning themselves off for $100,000.
So if you have $100,000 and you would like nothing more than to spend an evening with these two, they're for sale. They are prostitute adjacent. Rob, have you ever seen anything like this?
The grift is real. The grift is real. I know a lot of tacky celebrities. If you buy a real housewife a vodka soda, you can spend the evening with her. But what I find so interesting about this is they pretend to be the opposite. Just lean into who you are now. You're reality stars. You should go and get a show on Bravo. This is who they are.
