Episode 18
Friday, 16 January, 2026
Britney Spears has declared she’ll never perform in the United States again and Kelly & Sharon unpack what that could really mean. They also discuss Britney’s support of her son’s musical talent and why she’s open to potentially performing with him in the UK and Australia. The conversation continues with Salt-N-Pepa’s legal battle over control of their music masters, which didn’t go the way they hoped. Kelly & Sharon explain the ruling and discuss why younger artists must fully understand contracts and seek proper legal advice before signing deals that can affect their careers long term. Kelly & Sharon also celebrate Angela Bassett, who will receive a prestigious award from the American Black Film Festival Honors and reflect on why she was such a powerful presence in the 90s - from her iconic arms to her unforgettable portrayal of Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do with It? Kelly also shares her dream of seeing Angela Bassett, Alfre Woodard, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer together in one film. Plus, Sarah Jessica Parker is honored with the Carol Burnett Award at the Golden Globes, prompting a conversation about her self-awareness, gratitude, and work ethic throughout her career.
