Brenda K. Starr steps Behind The Rope. Brenda chats with us about what it was like to find success and hit it big in the late 1980’s with her most well known song “I Still Believe”. We chat about some of her contemporaries at the time, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Paula Abdul, Tina Turner and Debbie Gibson. Speaking of contemporaries, a little known singer named Mariah Carey used to sing background for Brenda. One day Brenda handed a demo to Columbia Records Executive Tommy Mottola at a party on behalf of Mariah and, as they say in the biz, the rest is history. Brenda opens up about what Tommy was really like both as a person and as a Record Exec who helped launch her career. Brenda also discusses how she really feels about Mariah covering "I Still Believe”, which has now become one of her biggest hits, breaks down where Mariah’s “diva” and “difficult” reputation originates from, and discusses how true she feels those monikers are. She spares no detail in explaining exactly why her and Mariah no longer speak and what she would say if she crossed paths with her today. Why does it not shock us that the name Wendy Williams comes up in this conversation. There was also Mariah’s wedding and being seated at a table with both Gloria Estefan and Barbara Streisand. Of course, we delve deep into Mariah’s “The Meaning of Mariah” book which hit shelves last year - Brenda shares her thoughts, discusses what is accurate and what she would like to rebut, Mariah’s short lived reality docu series “Mariah’s World” - Stella, Bryan, Nick Cannon, and the many misconceptions in the media about Brenda’s relationship past and present with Mariah Carey. Since it is Christmas and all…. @officialbrendakstarr @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Another week, another stellar episode of the show Vanity Fair calls one of the best of 2025, The Real Housewives of Salt Late City. We break down this episode as the ladies are still in Santorini and it is Mother’s Day. What can go wrong? In other news, Jen Shah if officially a free woman, has to check into a halfway house and will be carrying out the rest of her sentence at home. Over in RHOBH land, Amanda Frances may have come in with a bang last week, but this week one thing is clear, she definitely does not give one F in the absolute best way possible. Miss Frances is not afraid to ruffle a few feathers no matter how long there diamond holder has been on the show. Dorit receives some very bad news and Andy Cohen is there to help her out. The new VPR cast has a message for Scheana. Last, but not least, Andy delays the return of RHONJ, again. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley are still not on speaking terms. Kyle blames PK for everything, Dorit blames PK for certain things and Sutton’s Mom thinks PK is unattractive. For a man not earning a paycheck for RHOBH, he certainly seems to have a central role this season. Speaking of Sutton, she is happy as can be these days and a blooming friendship with Erika is in full effect. Last, but not least, several RHOSLC cast members have spoken out with a desire to kick Meredith to the curb as rumors, and nastiness, surrounding next season’s cast grow louder. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
