65. POP CULTURE CATCHUP: Pete Davidson, Hayden Panettiere, and Cannes Film Festival

BONUS EPISODE!!! I’ve had a lot on my mind celebritologically and all the fun Lit Hein interviews are taking the spots of where my pop culture episodes go!!!! I’m talking about Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt and how they broke up four months after their whirlwind romance and subsequent baby. I talk about Hayden Panettiere’s memoir and some of the revelations from that and why she’s not as big of a star as we think. Lastly, I'm talking about Cannes film festival: what exactly it is, what it means in the industry, and how Jordan Firstman from I Love LA (and public enemy #1 of many) walked away as the winner and we might be hearing more from him. Sigh.
