<p>Kristinia DeBarge steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Checking in from her home in Vegas, Kristinia is here to tell it all.&nbsp;Growing up with a famous father, James DeBarge of the group DeBarge, is her Dad, Kristinia is no stranger to the limelight.&nbsp;We discuss what it was like to grow up with a Dad in the business whose mega hit “Rhythm of The Night” is still played everywhere today.&nbsp;Her Dad was also married to Janet Jackson in the 80’s, yes Janet Jackson. Please discuss. She does.&nbsp;Being around music from a young age, it is no surprise Kristinia decided to pursue music as a career. Part of that pursuit included being a contestant on American Juniors in 2003, the spin off American Idol for kids. We discuss her interaction with host Ryan Seacrest plus judges Debbie Gibson, Justin Guarini and Gladys Knight and fellow soon to be famous contestants Keke Palmer and Lucy Hale. We also discuss the ‘backstage” politics between “stage moms” and just how real is a show like American Idol, or in this case, American Juniors.&nbsp;After American Juniors, Kristinia knew that music was for her and she began a several year long working relationship with Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds.&nbsp;That relationship led to her first record deal.&nbsp;As a result of that record deal, she opened for Britney Spears on the 2009 Circus Tour. O-M-F-G.&nbsp;Kristinia discusses not only what it was like to open for one of Pop’s most successful acts of all times, but what Britney was like at the time considering it was directly after for infamous “meltdown” period, what the atmosphere as like backstage, the interactions between Britney and her Dad and where she stands today on the “Free Britney” Movement.&nbsp;Kristinia is currently working on new music while running her Cosmetics Company, Krissy D. Cosmetics and is happy to share her products as well as her insight with how to run a successful cosmetics brand with us!</p><br><p>@kristiniadeb</p><p>@krissydcos</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>Dr. Cat, from E’s Dr. 90210, steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;Before we get to Dr. 90210, Dr. Cat discusses the long road one must take to become a top plastic surgeon in the famous zip code.&nbsp;Dr. Cat enlightens us with the right and wrong reasons to get plastic surgery, when she says “no” to potential patients, how vaginal reconstruction became a large part of her practice, and what she loves most about her job.&nbsp;Ok, onto Dr. 90210.&nbsp;We discuss how Dr. Cat became involved with the show, what filming and casting were like, her colleagues Dr. Killeen, Dr. Lee, Dr. Quardt, and what watching herself back on TV with her husband and daughter is like each week as the show now airs. We also pay homage to that other E Plastic Surgery Show, Botched, and the Doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif.&nbsp;Dr. Cat explains the role social media plays in the world of plastic surgery today with her 1.2 Million Instagram Followers. Finally, on a larger note, we discuss the fact that the plastic surgery industry is still comprised of only 15% female doctors, many of the stereotypes and “a woman can't” that Dr. Cat has heard throughout her career and why an all female version of Dr. 90210 was a necessity to make.

<p>"This is Paris” Director Alexandra Dean steps back Behind The Rope.&nbsp;We continue our conversation right where we left off (Part I of our sit down aired October 13th, 2020) discussing all things Paris.&nbsp;Alexandra lets us know the challenges of making a behind the scenes film while following Paris around the world to mass chaos and mayhem from Paris’ “Little Hiltons”. We discuss whether the psychological abuse and trauma that Paris endured from the Provo Canyon School was originally intended to be a part of the film.&nbsp;Alexandra explains how she got Paris to open up regarding this abuse, an issue which she has never publicly discussed prior to “This is Paris”.&nbsp;Alexandra discusses the involvement of both Kathy and Nicky Hilton Rothschild in the film and the noted absence of Rick Hilton.&nbsp;We also discuss the cameos from Kim Kardashian and Kyle Richards and why both of those women were necessary for this film.&nbsp;Alexandra fills us in on “secret” lost footage scenes that never made the film. On a more serious note, we discuss how this film was probably the best therapy Paris could have received for her childhood trauma and how Alexandra noticed a completely changed Paris by the end of their time working together.&nbsp;Finally, Paris and Alexandra are dedicated to the “Breaking Code Silence” cause which they are both actively involved in today.&nbsp;Tune in as our chat with “This is Paris” director Alexandra Dean concludes.</p><br><p>@alexdeandirector</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>Kathryn Edwards continues our chat regarding this past season of RHOBH and the Denise / Teddi exits. (Part I aired October 1st, 2020).&nbsp;Kathryn wastes no time in bringing up the fallout of a true many decade long friendship between Lisa Rinna and Denise Richards.&nbsp;We discuss what happens when making a great TV show is more important to a Housewife than a real life friendship and is it worth it?&nbsp;This leads to a discussion of which of the RHOBH cast are real life friends versus working colleagues. Speaking of Denise, we bring up her “hook up” with Brandi Glanville and discuss whether Kathryn thinks that really happened, why Brandi - considering her past track record of being a “tell all", the involvement of Producers to tell that “story”, the aftermath of what we saw unfold all season on RHOBH, and whether Brandi deserves a diamond. We dive into deeper issues such as the continued pressure by Producers to always bring the drama and storyline in fear of losing your job and corresponding big paycheck.&nbsp;Kathryn also discusses how nothing is off limits if you sign up for a reality show and how all the skeletons will ultimately come out of the closet. Kathryn discusses several actresses who she personally knows as potential diamond holders for next season - Nicolette Sheridan, Vivica A. Fox, Heather Locklear, Jennie Garth LaToya Jackson - as well as the rumored favored Kathy Hilton, and predicts the likelihood of each of those happening and how successful each would be in the “role”.&nbsp;Kathryn also discusses how she feels Garcelle will fare in her sophomore season sans Denise and discusses Denise's decision to walk away after just two seasons. Finally, we get into the Reunion, the good, the bad, the other bad and discuss how each of the women handled themselves during it.&nbsp;Tune in as our sit down with Kathryn Edwards concludes.</p><br><p>@katedwards8</p><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><br><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</strong></a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
