    ONCE AGAIN ADDRESSING THE ALLEGATIONS...of airing out your exes in a bestselling memoir!! Turns out it's more common than you'd think!

    This week Sydney and Helena are discussing the Lena Dunham and Addison Rae of it all. The dual edged sword we call attention! The toxic relationship we all have with fame! And we didn't even begin to get into Scientology!!

    LET ME ASK THE AUDIENCE: Do you want to be famous?? Do we think it's okay to air out an ex for the sake of artistic liberty?? Do you secretly want your salacious escapades to be mentioned in a best selling memoir??
