For this spookiest of months, Alicia wanted to get into one of her very favorite subjects: The Scottish Play! Not only is there a trashy/tragic marital breakdown, but there are witches, and curses, and prophesies! It also sets us up pretty nicely for Trashy Divorces stories to come...Check out a bunch of additional Macbeth-related episodes at bit.ly/trashcandy, as well as our recent chat with Andy from Astrology with Andy about Saturn Returns.Have questions for our Halloween Q&A episode?

This week, we've got a couple of musical women whose weddings spelled the end of their relationships!

It's been a while since we followed the dysfunction of a band's trashy breakup, but Alicia has a good one this week! For three brief, shining years, The Mamas & The Papas were chart topping leaders of the late '60s hippie sound. Born in professional jealousy, romantic rivalry, and personality conflict, the band's run ended almost as suddenly as it began.PromoVictoria Emerson.

We're kicking off Season 12 with a theme! We've made no secret of our affection for Hulu's Only Murders In The Building, and this week, Stacie has the lone divorce of loner - and genius - Steve Martin. Then Alicia takes a look at the ex-wife of one of TV's Hardy Boys (it ties into Only Murders, if you haven't seen it), with the trashy divorces of Kirstie Alley, including Parker Stevenson, who played one.And in case you're worried, there are no spoilers for Only Murders In The Building.Links to enjoy:Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life, by Steve Martin (Amazon link)The Art of Men (I Prefer Mine al Dente), by Kirstie Alley (Amazon link)Tina Fey at the AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Steve Martin (YouTube link)Steve Martin's Opening Monologue: 2003 Oscars (YouTube link)Steve Martin on the Late Show with David Letterman 23 04 2013 (Full Interview) (YouTube link)PromoVictoria Emerson.

Welcome to Season 12! After the wild ride of our last season, we found that we still had a lot of questions about some of the people we profiled. To help answer them, or maybe just ask better questions, we turned to our friends Alexa and Nicole of the podcast Legally Judgy! Two pop culture-obsessed attorneys with a kickin' podcast, they helped us judge trashy stories like the Taylor Swift-Scooter Braun feud, the on-again, off-again divorce of Kanye and Kim, whether Britney will ever be free, and just what the heck is going on with Tom Girardi and Erika Jayne.Check out Legally Judgy wherever you're listening!PromoVictoria Emerson.

We're closing Season 11 with two very different Hollywood stories. First, Alicia brings us the mystery of Geena Davis's three - or maybe four - marriages and divorces (who can say?). Then, Stacie emerges from decades of disturbing statements by Mel Gibson in dire need of a scrub brush for her brain.We're off next week! We'll be back October 6 with a new Trashy Breakups to kick off Season 12!PromoDipsea.

Alicia kicked off the long and very storied romantic adventures and misadventures of Warren Beatty a couple of weeks ago. This week, we follow him from the early 1970s to his 1992 marriage to Annette Bening. Everyone you've ever heard of is here - Diane Keaton, Mary Tyler Moore, Madonna, and so many others.PromoDipsea.

It's a week of high-fliers! Stacie has the over-the-top story of Pancho Barnes, a woman of adventure and aviation pioneer who built a desert watering hole that helped usher in the jet age. Then, Alicia has the story of the long, and in many ways successful, marriage of actress Valerie Bertinelli and rocker Eddie Van Halen. Sure, they divorced, but sometimes that's the best way to save a grand friendship.PromoFunjet Vacations.
