Ep. 36: Hollywood Heatwave 2002: Labor Day Fight, 125 Degrees


Labor Day 2002. New apartment. No A/C. 125 degrees inside.

Me and Bebbles Stone, unpacking boxes, making daiquiris, trying to start a life. I was an editorial assistant at The Hollywood Reporter. He was staging our new home, I was cooking, and the heat got into everything.

This is Let’s Talk About Hollywood. Career clarity plus real life from the mediasphere, for adults. I’m Karl Gibson and this is a first-hand audio Hollywood memoir from 2001 on. No blind items. No gossip. Just what it costs to build a marriage and a career in the shadows of the A-list.

Love is not naive. It is a choice you make...even when you are exhausted and overheated.

Bebbles was my first husband. I honored him in Season 1 in In Memoriam: Thank You, Bebbles Stone. I will tell that story in Season 5.

For now, it is 2002. It is Labor Day. It is hot. We are a hidden power couple.

Written and read by Karl Gibson.
