This week, we venture back to the early '90s, and explore how Pamela Anderson went from a beer model to Playboy cover to punchline and, how, decades later, she's finally been able to show the world who she really is: a woman with a whole lot of brain and not just breast tissue. Yes, we get into the boobs of it all.

Whether a publicity stunt or revenge porn, the celebrity sex tape has long been a salacious and voyeuristic fascination for the media and its subjects' fans. But when it comes to male stars, their tapes have seemed to serve as fuel for their fire, while for female stars, the only rhetoric has been slut-shaming. Sarah and Sadaf dive into the story behind the tapes of everyone from Rob Lowe to Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee to Paris Hilton to understand why, and what sort of ripple effect celebrity sex tapes have left in the years since. We'll be back next week with a new episode (for real)!

In 2001, Tom Cruise mysteriously filed for divorce from long-time love Nicole Kidman, shocking her and the rest of the world. After a decade, two children and three films together, something had suddenly driven them apart. Was it his obsession with the Church of Scientology? Their fertility struggles? Or the pressure of being one of the most iconic Hollywood romances of our time? In this throwback episode, we look into the culprit, and how both stars’ personal and professional lives have evolved (or not at all) since. We'll be back next week with a new episode!
