Celebrity news, trends and advice, tested in real life. The famous swear by their rituals, routines and products. I try them and report back: worth stealing, or total BS?

The Experiments

The first tests are filmed. Verdicts drop when the show launches, with more experiments on the way.

Steal it
or total BS?

No sponsored gushing, no pile-ons. Just an honest field test of what the famous do, and whether it works for the rest of us with jobs, kids and a normal budget.

The Celebrity Files

When a celebrity makes the news, I've often been in the room with them. The Celebrity Files puts the latest headlines next to what I saw firsthand in 20 years of booking talent.

    Ash Cantley

    For over 20 years I was a national celebrity booking producer for Emmy Award-winning television. Now I bring that insider access and editorial eye to my own platforms as a Top 1% TikTok creator and a member of TikTok's invite-only Film & TV Specialized Rewards Program.

    I read relationships and pop culture for what they can teach us, not for the scandal. The goal is simple: find the stuff that makes life better, and call out what doesn't.
