Episode Description

It’s a special collab episode! Chelsea and What Went Wrong hosts Lizzie Bassett and Chris Winterbauer dive into chaotic movie-making stories hidden inside celebrity memoirs and behind-the-scenes Hollywood tea. They trade wild anecdotes, including Tippi Hedren filming with real lions on “Roar,” Barbra Streisand’s blunt take on “A Star Is Born” remakes, Jennifer Grey’s mid-shoot plastic surgery, Elizabeth Taylor trading lovers while making “Cleopatra,” Rob Lowe’s fight club with Tom Cruise, and so much more.
