What's up, guys? I'm Mickey Novac here in the Young Hollywood studio with the happiest couple in Hollywood.
Yes, Melissa Rivers. We are. We're the happiest couple. And we won't break up.
You will never break up.
No matter how hard I've tried. She won't go away.
And now she's living with you too.
Well, still living with me. Season one was sort of the drama, or in my case, trauma.
Yes.
Of of her moving in with me. And everyone's like, oh, she went back to New York, right? I'm like, oh, no, no, no. We not only live together.
Don't come in.
We work together too.
No touching please.
Oh. So it gets really intense. Tons of drama.
In between seasons, you still live together?
Yes. Because for fashion police, my mom is out here. It's about four days a week. But now she says she's not living with me, she's only staying with me.
I I I think she's lucky to have her mother staying with her in her crappy little guest room.
And what I one thousand percent agree, It's nice having your mom. I've seen the guest room. It's not crappy. You need to renovate.
Yes, we do.
I need to renovate? How long?
For months. First of all, now what you don't see.
It's too big for you.
What you don't I agree with the French one. What you don't see is it has a patio. It has skylights. It's a guest room.
It is a patio that Victoria Beckham couldn't fit in.
Oh, it only Olsen twin. She's not telling the truth.
You buy plastic surgery for your friends.
Yes, isn't that great?
Yes, I want to be your best friend from now on.
Yes. Yes. We live in a city where the greatest plastic surgeons are, and if a friend says to you, I will treat you, oh, an idiot would say no. Absolutely.
And did anybody say no?
Only one person. She's not an idiot. She's our our sister. Sabrina Sabrina said no. Our sister. She was in shock. So the show is fantastic. Having Melissa as executive producer of fashion police is amazing.
Okay, we're opening with the Beckhams.
Hm, okay. We're not just mother and daughter anymore. I mean, it's a whole different dynamic. We're equals, we're we're peers. We're we're we're partners. Apparently, we've been at different tapings. We had an actual calendar year that was of extreme highs and some serious lows.
So tell me about the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows.
Highest of the highs was going off with Cooper, my grandson, and having an amazing time in New York. And we just documented all that, and that was just extraordinary.
Well, I saw you taught him stand up.
Yes. That was his friend.
Because you didn't just teach him the joke, you told him how to deal with the sound in the room, the clinking, that's Cooper, Brent Russell. And how to deal with hecklers. You're going to have hecklers. You stink. I mean, I've had that. I've had my agents say that. So can I try out a joke?
Yes. But don't All right, I'll be kind to you.
Be kind. Yes. My dress is so short that when I wear it, I don't have to just shave my legs. I need a bikini wax.
Good joke. Cute. But the delivery. Okay. But but yes, my dress is so short. Never mind having a bikini wax. Never mind having to shave my legs. I got a bikini wax or something, you know. It's all fine. Much better coming from you. But a very good joke. The low, of course, I think um, well, one of the big lows was Melissa's breaking up with the boyfriend on camera.
And that was Which only happened on camera because they were rolling when I found everything out. When I found out that he was sort of having a whole second life online.
So beyond how difficult men can be to deal with, do you think that men and women can be friends? Because this is something I come up with all the time. I do. I'm one of the people who really I have
If you're both ugly.
Thank you, mom. I have a lot of very close guy friends. I'm glad we all fall into that category.
But there's always a little tension with the guys.
Oh, I see. I have guy friends that I have that it would never even cross my mind. Starting with.
But it's not crossing their minds. That's the question.
That's I do have guy friends that that This is what I'm saying. I have guy friends that I honestly don't have that relationship. I see it from the outside. You may not be attracted to them, but I disagree. But I'm one of the people who, but that's but some people think you can and some people can you think you can't. I'm one of those people who believe that there are circumstances where you can.
Thank you both for coming.
I know you're trying to help, but I do actually know what I'm doing in my life. It's not your decision. Stop that joke!
