This week, we venture back to the early '90s, and explore how Pamela Anderson went from a beer model to Playboy cover to punchline and, how, decades later, she's finally been able to show the world who she really is: a woman with a whole lot of brain and not just breast tissue.

Ep 66 – REWIND: How Scientology drove Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise apart
In 2001, Tom Cruise mysteriously filed for divorce from long-time love Nicole Kidman, shocking her and the rest of the world. After a decade, two children and three films together, something had suddenly driven them apart. Was it his obsession with the Church of Scientology? Their fertility struggles? Or the pressure of being one of the most iconic Hollywood romances of our time? In this throwback episode, we look into the culprit, and how both stars’ personal and professional lives have evolved (or not at all) since.
