‘Hot Mess' in flux: Miami influencer's podcast was just abruptly dropped by network

Miami Herald26-02-2025
Alix Earle's 'Hot Mess' is homeless.
The Miami influencer's podcast has been dropped by the Unwell Network, owned by 'Call her Daddy' host Alex Cooper.
Sources told Variety that the Gen Z-friendly network, founded by Cooper and her entertainment mogul fiancé Matt Kaplan in August 2023, has renounced all rights to the show. SiriusXM will no longer be selling ads for the confessional style chatfest.
'Join your favorite hot mess as she invites you to listen in on a weekly recap of her life, revealing all the in-depth, exclusive details that has everyone watching,' reads the podcast's description.
Earle, 24, is now free to move on without legal ramifications.
So what happened? It's not as if Earle, with more than 7 million followers on TikTok alone, doesn't reel in the views.
As per Variety, the move may be due to some tension the women have with one another. Rumors of a rift started on Super Bowl Sunday, when Earle bailed on going to a big Unwell party in New Orleans. Eek, the horror.
The UM grad has not addressed the headline-making matter and her bio still list her as the host of 'Hot Mess.' The most recent episode centered around her fostering a pitbull Asia with her NFL boyfriend Braxton Berrios; the pooch was just adopted by a forever family, she told her fans on Tuesday.

Brad Pitt shares a story about Eagles fans, friendship, and humble pie

Here's an amazing story about how a famous Eagles fan served Brad Pitt a nice helping of humble pie. There may not be a greater American institution than trash-talking. Okay, fair enough. You may not hear a bigger exaggeration all summer. We can all agree on the theory, though. Philadelphia Eagles fans had to listen to a Kansas City Chiefs fan base brag for more than two years about a Super Bowl victory. Sure, Chiefs Kingdom seemingly forgot their team was aided by their groundsman's slippery field and a referee's attempt to steal the spotlight late. Still, after Philadelphia annihilated Kansas City in Super Bowl 59, if anyone had a right to strut, it was Eagles fans. Lo and behold, for whatever reason, more often than not, they took the high road. Two things were learned from all of this. First, Chiefs fans are more annoying than we thought. Second, trash talk is a necessary part of gameday experiences and rivalries, even if those rivalries are of the extended variety. Chiefs homer Brad Pitt is served a slice of humble pie by his friend, Eagles fan Bradley Cooper. Who would have believed this ten years ago? Thanks in part to the bond between two brothers who also happen to be great football players, there's a tie that binds the Eagles and Chiefs. There are other parallels, such as Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce's podcast, and another notable detail. Both organizations have employed one of the greatest coaches in NFL history for over a decade. The Chiefs and Eagles share history after locking horns in two different Super Bowls. Both teams have come out as winners. Recently, the Kelce brothers hosted Brad Pitt on their podcast, New Heights. Pitt, a longtime Chiefs fan, took his opportunity to throw some shade at Eagles fans playfully. One he mentioned was one of their most famous friends, Bradley Cooper. After the Eagles lost to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57, Pitt presented Cooper with an award at the Santa Barbara Film Awards for his role in the movie Maestro, but no one will forget what he said during the award's presentation. "He's been nominated the 1900th time. You know, if he doesn't get it, it's okay. He's used to it. He's a Philadelphia Eagles fan". Do you see what we mean about Chiefs fans being annoying? Sure, he was joking with an old friend, but Birds fans can be sensitive. Years of disappointment will do that for you. There are times when it feels like disappointment is part of the deal for the Philadelphia sports fan, so Pitt's cold words felt as though they were even colder. So, what was their conversation like after Philadelphia turned the tables with one of the most surprisingly lopsided beatdowns in Super Bowl history? "He was happy this year. We didn't talk for two months ... He gracefully let me hurt." Good for you, Mr. Cooper! Perhaps there are lessons to be learned from all of this. Success is the best revenge. Eagles fans don't always have to twist the knife. Sometimes, silence speaks volumes. Here we sit. As Birds fans enjoy the final stretch of a victory lap before turning the page like their favorite team already has, stunned silence continues to cover the now-hated Chiefs. That may be the most satisfying aspect about all of this

'Pretty Little Baby' singer Connie Francis, 87, hospitalized

Singer Connie Francis was hospitalized in Florida Wednesday with 'extreme pain,' forcing her to pull out of an Independence Day show, just weeks after the octogenarian joined TikTok amid the virality of her music. The 87-year-old 'Pretty Little Baby' vocalist, nicknamed The Queen of Song, announced in a Facebook post that she was 'back in hospital' after 'undergoing tests and checks to determine the cause(s) of the extreme pain.' 'I had hoped to take part in [Cousin] Brucie's show for Independence Day, having had to cancel a previous slot a few weeks ago when receiving treatment on my hip,' the Newark native said early afternoon. 'Sadly, I had to let him know that I again had to withdraw. My thanks for your many get well soon messages. I will endeavor to keep you updated.' By early evening, the Golden Globe winner said that she was in a private room, 'following a series of tests and examinations in Intensive Care' and once again thanked fans 'for your kind thoughts, words and prayers. They mean so much!' Francis has not yet detailed her condition, though family sources told TMZ she's contended with orthopedic issues in recent years. Just last month, Francis joined TikTok amid the 'huge buzz' her 1962 hit 'Pretty Little Baby' sparked on the platform. 'To think that a song I recorded 63 years ago is captivating new generations and audiences is truly overwhelming for me. Thank you, TikTok,' said a 'flabbergasted and excited' Francis as she provided her own lip-synced version of the song. At the time of publication, Francis' video has been viewed 16 million times and liked by more than 656,000 users.
