The 2025 VMAs delivered plenty of nostalgia and 2000s throwbacks but not much chaos. From Sabrina Carpenter’s drag-queen-powered performance to Lady Gaga’s dark comeback, we break down what worked and what fell flat.

Then we turn to the Emmys, where Adolescence swept the night, Netflix ruled the streamers, The Pitt proved that hospital dramas can still hit hard, and first-time winners stole the spotlight.

Grab your popcorn — it’s time to yap about it!

This week on Yap About It, we’re stirring up the messiest corners of pop culture.

First up: Nina Dobrev and Shaun White’s breakup bombshell — plus the shocking pay gap drama that led to Nina leaving The Vampire Diaries.

We’re also flipping through Hollywood’s latest page-turners: the new oral history I Was Feeling Epic and a wave of celeb autobiographies (from Jeanette McCurdy to Matthew McConaughey).

Of course, no week is complete without relationship chaos: Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes announced their breakup, Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade’s on-off rollercoaster, Austin Butler hanging with Emily Ratajkowski, and Harry Styles spotted with Zoë Kravitz (again).

On the TV and film side, we’re talking what’s next for HBO’s The White Lotus, Showtime’s Dexter revival, and why swapping leads (yes, Witcher, we mean you) almost never lands.

And because the timeline never sleeps, we’ve got Coachella 2026 headliners, Ariana Grande’s ticket debacle, and a throwback to Hilary Duff’s underrated reign.

Breakups, books, buzzy shows, big drama — and crockpot recipes!

Pop culture with group chat energy, let's Yap About It!

It's giving chaos.

Harry Styles is hopping across Europe (and headlines), Sydney Sweeney might have found herself a new “Scooter,” Pamela Anderson’s latest romance turned out to be pure PR, and Cardi B turns her trial into a marketing masterclass.

Plus, Taylor & Travis’s Midwest fairytale, Shein’s wild Luigi ad fail, and Sabrina Carpenter’s clever Betty Boop era.

From Fifth Harmony’s reunion, Flavor Flav volunteering as a wedding officiant and cult classics — this episode covers it all.
