It's been a wild few weeks for a number of TD alums. In the Dumpster this week:  Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, following the shock divorce filing in Nashville on September 30. Is Keith stepping out with a member of his touring band, and should we be concerned that he's currently on a tour he titled HIGH AND ALIVE after his well-documented troubles with substance misuse? Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are once again the subject of rumbles in the press wondering if the magic has faded after he blew up his marriage a few years back during the filming of Wicked.  Bill Belichick might just be the most overrated coach in all of football, and UNC might be wondering why they didn't just hire Tom Brady to coach their football team.  Finally, sweet Jessica Simpson is once again going through a divorce, but she seems to really have a great attitude about it. Let's bright-side the s*** out of everything, Trash Pandas.  Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?
