    145. The Unhinged Reality of 2000s Celebrity Culture with Heather Shaw
    Apr 29 2026

    This week Kelli is joined by comedian and content creator Heather Shaw to talk about the unhinged reality of early 2000s celebrity culture—and how it compares to today. From the Perez Hilton era to toxic tabloid headlines, they revisit a time that felt chaotic… and feels even darker looking back.


    They also get into how we talk about celebrities now, the rise of TikTok, and whether we’ve actually become more empathetic—or just faster to judge.
