Even the Rich

Most people can’t weather the storm that is the music industry. But Stevie Nicks isn't most people. She breaks onto the scene with musical and romantic partner, Lindsey Buckingham. They make beautiful music in and out of the recording studio, and make a life-altering move in 1974 when they join British rock group, Fleetwood Mac. Stevie’s on top of the world as she swaps out tiny gigs in coffee houses for massive concerts in sold-out stadiums. But then, there are legendary clashes within the band - which include her and Lindsay. After a messy breakup - and a string of diss tracks they fire off at each other - Stevie goes solo. And the “Edge of Seventeen” hitmaker proves that thunder really does only happen when it’s raining. And what rains down on her is the devastating loss of her best friend, and a decades-long battle with drugs, which almost kills her. But this ""Queen of Rock 'n Roll"" is still standing, and living her “dreams.” You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Richies, we’re coming in hot with 3 new stories! Hollywood’s brightest stars turned up for the 97th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday. But it was Best Actor winner, Adrien Brody, who really stole the show, or maybe we should say...held it hostage. He’s getting crushed online for his nearly six-minute acceptance speech, which most people online are calling “brutal.” Then, “Stranger Things” star Mille Bobby Brown is clapping back at journalists who won’t stop talking about her looks. And closing things out, we dig into all the rumors, speculation, and concern about Justin Bieber’s well-being.

It’s Women’s History Month, Richies! In honor of that, we have the queen herself, Angela Bassett. She’s been setting fire to the silver screen ever since she portrayed Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do with It.” But her life - both in front of and behind the camera - has been chock-full of obstacles, disappointments, struggles, and surprises. (Like finding out her boyfriend’s a cheater on national television.) But none of it slows Angela down. With a slew of great film roles - not to mention an Oscar and an Emmy - she’s always proving that Angela Bassett really did do “the thing!” You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

You know those messages that you get all the time, the ones that pop up out of nowhere? They could be real, but something about them seems fishy. You likely dismiss these texts and emails as mere annoyances, thinking you’ve stopped some random stranger from ripping you off. But the shocking truth is, the person behind that message might be trapped inside a “scam factory” on the other side of the world and forced to scam others against their will. From Wondery, comes a new series about the brutal reality behind these operations, where one family discovers a horrifying truth: the only way out is to scam their way out.

Born in Mexico City and raised in Kenya, Lupita Nyong’o has had what you could call an unconventional life. After experiencing serious political unrest in Nairobi at a very young age, Lupita packs her bags and heads to the Big Apple to pursue her dreams of becoming an actor. Sure, she’s got the skills to make it. But a lot of the time and talent is just not enough. And what Lupita struggles with in Hollywood goes far beyond the trials of most actors-for-hire trying to score their next gig. Lupita wages a far more intense and deeply personal battle - how to maintain her own identity in an industry that wants to put her in a box.
