If We Had a Patreon: Ted Casablanca aka Bruce Bibby

You Might Know Her From

The awful truth is SAG is still on strike but the bonus is that we are joined by artist and former celebrity gossip writer Ted Casablanca (Bruce Bibby) for an extra special episode of the show. Ted was a mainstay in celebrity journalism in the ‘90s and ‘00s working for Premiere and E!, most notably his programs, The Gossip Show and his column-turned show, The Awful Truth. We talk about EVERYTHING with Ted. From Valley of the Dolls to Mamma Mia, from the Oscars to Sharon Stone and her horse. Ted was a complete delight who humored baby Anne and Damian’s every wish!
