Melissa Gilbert grew up in front of all of our eyes playing Laura Ingalls Wilder on Little House on the Prairie, and she managed to avoid some of the pitfalls that beset other child stars. Then she met Rob Lowe, and America's Sweetheart started a whole new chapter. It's included two divorces - one trashy, one very much not trashy - and a whole lot of spiderwebs.

To close out Season 22 - although we're definitely still feeling 22 - Alicia has remixed various episodes about the life and loves of Frank Sinatra, Old Blue Eyes himself - into a mamma jamma supercut of Nancy, Sr., Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, and a ton of trashy goodness.

And we're back! Alicia kicks off Season 19 with the life and times - and trashy divorces and breakups - of fashion icon Calvin Klein. Yes, he pioneered designer jeans and scandalized the world with a racy Brooke Shields ad campaign in the 80s, but his real triumph seems to be forcing everyone in his orbit to see his name on underwear when a man disrobes!

When news broke that former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi had died earlier this month, he went from a name on our list of potential subjects to a subject ripe for exploration. And what a ride it is - from his numerous affairs, to his scandalous (and criminal) "bunga bunga" parties, to his nearly flawless success in avoiding consequences for all manner of criminal conduct - his story is yet more proof that, like James Brown said, "It's a man's man's man's world."

We've covered our fair share of Real Housewives on this show, but we're pretty sure you'll agree that even at their trashiest, none can hold a candle to the Real Housewives of Orange County's Kelly Dodd. From rampant allegations of domestic violence to taking her feuds - real and imagined - onto social media, Kelly's outrageous behavior was even too much for Bravo.

Since the mid-80s, Americans have puzzled over the enduring question: Who's The Boss? It turns out that the star of that much loved television show, Tony Danza, is a decidedly untrashy fellow, even with three divorces under his belt.

We've covered a lot of eccentric personalities on this show, we've covered a lot of people with anger management problems, and we've covered plenty of out of control egos. Somehow, Empire star Terrence Howard has transmuted all of those traits into a basically off-the-charts life story. Seriously, all our scales for trashiness are having to be recalibrated after this one. Alicia has the deets. Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of domestic violence.

This week, we want to share a little something we've been cooking up here at Hemlock Creatives! Over the course of creating Trashy Divorces, we've come to realize that trashbaggery is a permanent part of the human experience, and few figures in our history has been ostentatiously trashy as any given period's elites. Enter: Trashy Royals, a new podcast dropping every Thursday that explores the enduring truth of all cultures: our betters have always been among our worst. Please enjoy this Trashy Royals episode, The Affair of the Diamond Necklace, and listen to Trashy Royals wherever you get your podcasts! 05. The Affair of the Diamond Necklace Unsurprisingly, the French Revolution didn’t happen particularly spontaneously. Years of financial mismanagement, poor crops, massive unemployment, and a swelling population in Paris itself all contributed to a growing dissatisfaction with King Louis XVI and the monarchy in general. The King’s cause wasn’t helped at all by a lingering suspicion that his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette, was a profligate spender and an Austrian spy, but Marie Antoinette’s reputation took a calamitous hit in 1785, when an ambitious con artist named Jeanne de la Motte hatched a plan to acquire one of the most expensive jewelry pieces ever crafted. Playing on the vanity and avarice of one of her lovers, Cardinal Louis de Rohan, Jeanne and her crew succeeded in boosting a piece worth $2 million – and forever ended any goodwill the French public had toward their Queen.

It turns out that not all divorces are trashy, and for Gilmore Girls actress Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore) her recent split from ex-husband Vincent Kartheiser was handled as discretely as all the other parts of their relationship. But sometimes on a long holiday weekend, you just have to dive into your Gilmore Girls fandom, which we do here with great abandon.

We often talk about a "starter marriage," believing that maybe the second go-round will go better, but for actress Kaley Cuoco, that's not how it happened. The Big Bang Theory star walked down the aisle - and then into divorce court - twice, and while she seems to have sworn off marriage as a result, that doesn't mean she hasn't found true love.

All the way back in 2019, we were thrilled to be joined by Erica Kelley of the Southern Fried True Crime podcast to discuss the incredible life - and many, many divorces - of the legendary Elizabeth Taylor. In this Trashy Divorces Classics episode, Alicia sat down with astrologer extraordinaire and friend of the show Andy Bellatti to take a look at the astrological elements that helped make Elizabeth Taylor the survivor that she was, and then 2019 us, and 2019 Erica Kelley, have her story.

It's not often that we get to break out the word "adorkable" on Trashy Divorces, but Alicia isn't missing her chance this week with the story of everybody's favorite New Girl, actress, musician, and entrepreneur Zooey Deschanel. While her career has been one highlight after another, her two marriages did not fare as well. Maybe now she's content to enjoy unmarried bliss with a Property Brother.

From humble origins in Jackson, Mississippi, Cat has built an enormously successful career, but unfortunately, her love life has been rockier.

Our Coronation Countdown continues with a scion of House Windsor who has never held a title, but has still made some waves for the Palace. Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, was set up to live a "normal" life in spite of being Queen Elizabeth II's first grandchild. It sort of worked! His future first wife only learned of his family ties when, months into their relationship, she saw him in a documentary talking about his cousins, Princes William and Harry. When things came apart in the marriage, Buckingham Palace was kind enough to leave the story well enough alone. Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

For all the current disorientation around gender, it's easy to forget that these questions - and the ways individuals will answer them - aren't exactly new. Alicia has the story of the UK's Lady Colin Campbell, a best-selling Royals biographer who married into the aristocracy - only to see a caricatured version of her private medical history splashed across tabloid headlines back in the 1970s.

Some people live with nostalgia for all that's come before, but this isn't an issue that acting legend Sir Anthony Hopkins contends with. To whit: the demise of his two marriages and his long estrangement from his only child are met with a classic stiff upper lip. "Life is life," Hopkins has said, "you get on with it." If his earlier decades weren't especially touchy-feely, it does seem like he's found sustained happiness in this century. Stacie has the details.

Some people are born great, while others have greatness thrust upon them. In spite of honest efforts to thrust greatness onto Australian actor George Lazenby, he has instead built a career and life out of a series of cascading bad decisions - in work and love. His single turn as James Bond could have heralded the start of a glorious career in show biz; instead, it represented a high water mark for an actor whose career never particularly went anywhere.

In light of the eye-popping $1.6 billion defamation case between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News, we thought today would be a fine day to roll out something we've been thinking about for a while: update episodes about subjects we've covered before. First up at bat is international media mogul and apparent democracy skeptic Rupert Murdoch, who's had an extremely eventful four-ish years since we first covered him back in 2019. We bring you up to date with the man and some of his troubles, then treat you to the classic original episode.

When it comes to the Real Housewives franchises, we have a very Godfather-esque take: "Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in again!" So it is that Alicia brings us the three-alarm trashcan fire of the marriage of Real Housewives of Potomac cast members Ashley and Michael Darby. This one's all over the map - a big age difference, allegations of infidelity, allegations of same-sex sexual assault, and a few legal shenanigans as a trashy cherry on top of it all.

As the daughter of Gambino crime family Mafia boss John Gotti, her childhood was anything but normal, and her adulthood - with an ongoing effort to steer clear of "the life" - hasn't exactly been a walk in the park either.

Newly minted Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser certainly couldn't have predicted the twists and turns his life and career would take when he burst onto movie screens in the 1990s. After battling injuries, the emotional scars from a sexual assault, and an acrimonious end to his marriage, suddenly, Brendan's lost decade or so came to a crashing halt with his acclaimed, and much awarded, role in 2022's The Whale.

While he had just one divorce, he was kind enough to gift us decades of questionable commentary about the appropriate treatment of women, as well as engage in some potential tax shenanigans in Spain.

The Brady Bunch offered the vast middle of America a place of quirky, family-oriented respite in a time of enormous change and social conflict. Real-life Brady matriarch Florence Henderson, beloved as "America's Mom" for the rest of her life, was as changed by the times as anyone. She'd grown up poor, married young, and spent much of the 1950s and '60s trying to balance a thriving career in entertainment with the demands of a growing family, amidst the backdrop of Women's Liberation, the pill, and the Sexual Revolution.

It's fair to say that Janet Jackson was always destined to be a performer, even if she would have preferred a law degree. Starting life as the baby sister of The Jackson 5, she first took the stage at age seven, and by her teen years was an accomplished actress, as well. But her efforts to separate herself from her domineering father led her to an unwise first marriage, and her superstardom appears to have led her to some interesting efforts at keeping her private life private.

From Sitcom Moms to True Crime Moms, Alicia has it all this season! Today, she has the kidnapping story that shook the world back in 2016, when California wife and mom Sherri Papini went out for a run and didn't come home. Her husband found her phone and earbuds along a stretch of road on her usual route. American and international media flooded the zone with coverage of the case, and when - miraculously! - Sherri was discovered alive 22 days later, the questions began to mount almost immediately.

Sometimes the story just get worse, and worse, and worse, and that's exactly the case with the life, career, and relationships of washed up action hero Steven Seagal.

For a while, it seemed like Shirley Jones had it all: a roaring career, a gorgeous, famous husband, and even an Academy Award.

Some people have all the luck, and at least when it comes to breakthroughs in show business, stage and screen legend Shirley Jones was certainly charmed. After somewhat accidentally - and also successfully - auditioning for Rodgers and Hammerstein, her career took off. It led her to an intoxicating love affair with the charming but not exactly faithful actor Jack Cassidy, who would become Shirley's ex-husband in 1975.

We covered the long and tumultuous relationship (and oh-so-brief marriage) of singer Miley Cyrus and actor Liam Hemsworth, but that was before we learned that Miley's parents, Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus - he of the Achy Breaky Heart - had themselves parted ways. It wasn't the biggest of shocks: by the time of the April 2022 announcement that they'd been separated for at least two years, Tish and Billy Ray had already had two divorce petitions withdrawn or dismissed. In the end, it seems, not everything was reconcilable. Join us Thursday, February 16, for That Trashy Show – A Valentine’s Day Decompression Session!

We've covered the Kennedy family in some detail during the show's run, but like any sprawling dynasty, there's always more to explore! This week, Alicia brings us the back story of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of slain Attorney General and presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy. Let's just say that Bobby experienced a troubled youth, which was certainly not helped by the high profile murders his family was subjected to, or his family's effectively unlimited money and prestige.
