Is Harper Beckham being forced into the skincare business?
The rest is entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Now, the moment someone becomes properly famous, they stop traveling as a person and they start traveling as a situation. And yes, I am talking about the world of entourages.
It's amazing. Anytime we do a TV show when someone properly famous comes on, you can just have a spread bet as to how many people they're going to bring with them.
Most people don't actually need a bodyguard and a fixer and a straw lady, but not having to start from scratch every single time you get in contact with someone is actually undeniably appealing.
So Octopus Energy, you know, anytime you ever ring any company, you start from scratch right from the beginning again. With Octopus Energy, they recognize your number. And that goes through to a very, very small team of around 10 people who are there to deal with you. So you'll almost certainly be dealing with someone who you've dealt with before. That's the Octopus Energy entourage that they've built around you.
A great satisfaction not having to tell your story for new every single time, which I think most major celebrities also feel. Hello, and welcome to this episode of The Rest Is Entertainment with me, Marina High.
And me, Richard Osman. Hello, everyone. Hey, Marina. How are you, Richard? I'm all right. It was the BAFTAs last night. Another remorselessly unsuccessful one for House of Games.
Your streak is now incredible, and sadly... It's your last eligibility.
I did think maybe a sympathy BAFTA, but nothing. Genuinely, this is how these award ceremonies work. I was giving out an award as well to Martin Lewis. And so when you do that, someone comes to get you from your seat, take you around to the back in advance of doing it. But the one I was giving out was quite soon after the daytime BAFTA. And so she said, oh, and of course, if you've won, then actually I'll collect you from the side of the stage, not from the audience. And as we were getting closer to our award, we hadn't been collected. I thought, oh my God, this is it. We've finally done it. This team, this wonderful team, I can leave them with this BAFTA for nine years of this incredible work. And no, we still didn't win.
But there it is. Thank you for taking me inside of the action of an awards loss. I'd like to say we had a fun evening. even then but do you know what to be fair scam interceptors that won it I was delighted with that delighted that Katherine Parkinson won oh that was terrific delighted last one laughing won as well and I thought Greg Davis did a great job yes as well so that was my BAFTAs
Right. What are we talking about today, Richard?
We've got a fun one today. We're talking about nepo babies in a very specific way. There's a couple of absolutely jaw-dropping bits of nepo babosity that have turned up in the last week or so. And I'm going to do a sociological deep dive into what it actually means being a nepo baby. Don't people just do what their parents do anyway? And don't we pass down our genes to our kids anyway? So I'm going to try and debunk a few of those myths.
I am looking forward to that. We will be taking a look at the blast radius of the final settlement in the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni pre-trial settlement. That case has supposedly gone away, but we're going to be looking at who of those three principals, how their careers have been damaged. And when I'm talking about the three principals, I'm obviously talking about Blake, Justin and Ryan Reynolds.
And of course, generationally, they're kids. Yeah. Because, you know, it's going to affect their Nepo careers in the future.
Getting the Nepos in all the way through.
And we're also going to have a little chat about ITV Entertainment. There's a new show called The Neighbourhood, which has become sort of a poster boy for TV flops. And we're going to talk about whether that's fair or not. And a little bit of inside gossip about that, although I'm a celebrity. Hoo-ha as well. And also, I've got a little ITV announcement of my own, which we'll put in there, too.
