00:00Hey, it's People in 10. Diddy's highly anticipated trial officially kicked off this week,

00:08and there have already been some explosive revelations. Let's find out more.

00:14Hey, McCull. How's it going?

00:16Hey, Liam. Okay, so it's day four of his trial, and we're learning a lot. What are some of the

00:20biggest bombshells so far? Other than the fact that Diddy now boasts a full head of gray hair,

00:25we've learned some pretty disturbing allegations. One is that he and a sex worker allegedly urinated

00:31in Cassie's mouth during an alleged freak-off. Cassie and Diddy were in a relationship for

00:37about 11 years, and during that time, she says, he exerted a ton of control over her entire life

00:44and detailed some alleged abuses, including one that he forced her to have sex on her period.

00:50He once allegedly made her get into an inflatable pool filled with baby oil. She also alleges that

00:56sometimes he would punish her by taking away her cell phone or her laptop, and of course we've seen

01:02the video that appears to show him assaulting her in a hotel. This sounds really intense.

01:08It really is. Jurors have been asked not to make judgments about Diddy's sexual preferences,

01:13but still, it is pretty alarming to hear some of this stuff. It's important to note, too,

01:18that Diddy's family, his kids, and his mother have been in attendance during these court proceedings.

01:24It sounds like this could take a while, but how long are we talking?

01:28Well, it's hard to say for sure because we don't quite know how many witnesses will be called and

01:34not all of them have been named, but it could take potentially up to two months.

01:39Well, we'll be watching. Thank you so much for the info, Liam. I'll talk to you later.

01:43No problem. Good talking to you.

01:45All right. Bye.

01:47And in more legal news, the Menendez brothers are one step closer to freedom. A judge decided

01:52to re-sentence Eric and Lau this week after they were originally given life without parole

01:56for fatally shooting their parents in 1989. The siblings claim they endured years of sexual

02:01abuse by their father, which their mother ignored. Their new sentence reduces that to 50 years

02:07with the chance of parole. So what does that mean? Well, the California Parole Board will hold a

02:12hearing on June 13th to decide whether to release them. And Governor Gavin Newsom could also decide

02:17to grant them clemency, which could mean a reduced sentence or even a pardon. The judge in the case

02:22acknowledged they'd committed a terrible crime, but said their behavior behind bars is what moved him.

02:28Switching gears here. I'm so jealous of Harry and Meghan's epic date night to see my girl Beyonce in LA.

02:33Now I caught the Renaissance tour in 2023, and you know I got my tickets for Cowboy Carter.

02:39So seeing this got me excited. Look at Meghan dancing it up. And Harry packing on the PDA.

02:45Even his hat got a twirl. Now that's what I'm talking about.

02:49Oh, I'm blinded by the light. The light reflecting off of Simi Liu's fiance's finger.

02:55Look at those lovebirds. Now Simi proposed to Alison Shue and Paris over the weekend.

03:00Swoon. And girl, that rock is brighter than the Eiffel Tower when it's all lit up.

03:05Now these two were first linked romantically in late 2022. A few months later, he told us Alison

03:11changed his life and how grateful he is to have her. A match made in heaven. And great job on that

03:16ring, buddy. We have no notes. Kelly Clarkson knows how to appreciate a compliment. So she was

03:23performing in Atlantic City when a fan in the audience called her sexy. She was flattered,

03:28and then she ditched that she might be on HR's naughty list because she's always telling other

03:33people they look good on the set of her talk show. And I say, f*** not.

03:39Some of those bitches are out here working, and we're trying, and I want every motherf***er

03:46who passes me to go down. Well done.

03:50Now she's been open about how she used medication for her recent weight loss, but still,

03:54she wants her flowers. And who could blame her? Love to see her looking and feeling so good.

04:01And get a load of this before and after. So Christopher Schwarzenegger went viral back in

04:06April when he and his brother Patrick, yup, that Patrick, was spotted grabbing dinner together.

04:12He's clearly lost a lot of weight, but he says his wellness journey isn't over yet.

04:16Arnold and Maria's son opened up about getting in shape at an event in LA,

04:20saying it's involved a lot of trial and error. So how did he do it? Well, he didn't get into

04:26specifics, but he did say that giving up bread for lunch helped him drop 30 pounds in less than two

04:32months. But what's most important is that he's able to do the things he couldn't for years,

04:36like skydiving. You know what they say, health is wealth. So well done.

04:40Isn't it nice when exes don't hate each other? Well, for a long time, we didn't know what the

04:46deal was between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who were married from 1990 to 2001. In fact,

04:51the last time he mentioned her was 2002, the year after they got divorced. But now,

04:56ahead of his next and maybe final run as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible, he's got nothing but praise

05:01for her, revealing in a new interview that he was the one who pushed director Stanley Kubrick to cast

05:06his then wife in Eyes Wide Shut. He said it had to be Nick in the role of Alice, because obviously

05:11she's a great actress. Now, are they going to be besties anytime soon? Probably not. But with two

05:16kids involved, who are now adults, we'll take nice and civil. It's impossible to forget Honey Boo Boo.

05:23But she's all grown up now and getting real about how she overcame the nightmare of child stardom

05:33and got out from under her mom. I was dragged through a lot. And I think my breaking point of

05:39to like, no, I'm done with her is when she stole my money. I was so done. Alana is now 19 and working

05:45hard to earn a degree in nursing. I think right now is a good time for me just because I'm growing up.

05:51I'm like actually maturing and becoming like a full grown woman. I'm just living my best life.

05:56I love that I was able to persevere and just get past all. It sounds pretty bad, but like honestly,

06:03my goal was to be a mom that my mother never was. Last week, our fade fashionistas hit the Met Gala

06:09red carpet. But we're moving on, honey, to the Cannes Film Festival. And despite some new rules,

06:15like no nudity, a voluminous outfit, including long trains, which apparently affect the flow of

06:20the carpet and seating inside, the Riviera style has still been on point. On day one, Bella Hadid took

06:26us by surprise with her new blonde locks and a simple sleek black gown by St. Laurent's Anthony

06:31Vaccarello, while Eva Longoria turned heads and metallic Tamara Ralph. Now there were a few who did

06:37not obey the new dress code. Looking at you, Heidi Klum. But hey, we don't mind. It's all in the name

06:43of fashion. Now it's the sit down with Whitney Lovett. Hi, Whitney. Everyone's fave Mormon wife

06:49is back, y'all. We have so many questions for you. How would you describe yourself this season?

06:55I would describe myself this season as having hard conversations. And I'm excited for people to see

07:02how hard it is to have those hard conversations. You're manipulative and you know it. Is it easier

07:08to film pregnant or not? I mean, maybe I think when you're pregnant, you get a little

07:13pass. They're like, it's just hormones. Yeah, they're like, oh, like she's just like acting

07:19this way because she's pregnant. But also like being pregnant in itself is so incredibly taxing

07:25that it's like, how can you not give a pregnant woman some grace? So you're kind of like the

07:31villain on this show. Do you embrace this role? I think as a whole, no, but I definitely had my

07:37villain moments for sure. Queen B has officially left the group chat.

07:44What do you think the biggest misconception is about you from onscreen versus real life?

07:49Um, that I'm uptight. I feel like I'm like the most low maintenance girly in the group

07:57and easy going person. I would say that's the biggest misconception. A dirty soda shop opened

08:06up right by me. Walk me through your favorite concoction. So I'll do a sparkling water. I get

08:12sugar free pineapple, sugar free peach, raspberry puree, sugar free vanilla. And I like to squeeze

08:18a fresh lime in it just to kind of pop it off. That is my drink. And it's very refreshing.

08:25Tell us a fun fact about your husband, Connor, that nobody knows. Connor is a person that you

08:31could literally tell anything to, and he is going to create a space where there's no shame in anything.

08:36I feel like it could come to him and be like, I like robbed a bank and what's going on? Like,

08:41I literally could tell him anything and he would create a safe space for me to share how I really

08:47felt about the situation. What is his least favorite aspect about being on the show? I think his least

08:53favorite thing is being the center of attention in any scenario. Like when, you know, questions

08:59are asked about his journey. I think that it's just his personality. Like he doesn't like to have

09:04the attention. He wants to give somebody else the attention. Like that's just the type of guy he is.

09:10I'm like perfect because he married me.

09:13I know that you have aspirations of acting. What would that dream role look like?

09:17I mean, I love fantasy. I'm a fantasy girly through and through. Like, do you read ACOTAR?

09:23Like A Court of Thorns and Roses? It's a series. It's amazing. And there were rumors that she's

09:29going to start a series. I'm like, girl, put me in. Put me in, coach. I also love horror and thriller.

09:34Like I will, I will be the bad guy in that. Absolutely. Like sign me up. Like I obviously

09:43love to play a good villain, you know? Okay. We're going to put 10 seconds on the clock. Tell

09:48everyone why they should check out season two of the secret lives of Mormon wives streaming now on

09:53Vulu. Ready? Go. Everyone needs to check out the secret lives of Mormon wives. Season two.

09:59You thought season one was crazy. Get ready. Get ready. Whitney. Thank you so much for joining us

10:06today. Yeah.
