UNDRESSED WITH POL' AND PATRIK

Academy Award nominee Nicole Alyse Nelson joins us in the Pol' Atteu Beverly Hills West Hollywood studio—and she brings her parents all the way from Texas!

From the minute she sits down, this interview goes everywhere: Hollywood dreams, Nickelodeon fame, Oscar night secrets, Emma Thompson, painful Cinderella shoes, an escape-room disaster and, naturally, a bat flying through our bedroom.

Nicole takes us back to Galveston, Texas, and the summer she came to Los Angeles at just 19 for an unpaid internship—and simply never went home. After answering phones, reading scripts and working unpaid production
jobs, she realized she was far more fascinated by the actors than anything
happening behind the camera.

Barely a year later, she landed her first major role on Nickelodeon’s I Am Frankie, filming 43 episodes over two seasons and gaining a global fan base. She also gets candid about the less glamorous side of early success—including the contract that means those reruns aren't exactly delivering glamorous residual checks.

We follow Nicole from I Am Frankie to GLOW and then into the project that changed everything: the Oscar-nominated short Jane Austen’s Period Drama, where she hilariously plays a character named Vagina Talbot. Nicole reveals how Emma Thompson became involved after falling in love with the
film—and why the legendary actress refused a producer credit, instead creating the unforgettable title “Menstrual Executive Advisor.”

Then we go inside Nicole’s surreal road to the Academy Awards: making the long list, cutting down to the final five nominees, attending the Oscars alongside her equally nominated boyfriend Jonah Lees, and wearing a custom Pol’ Atteu gown that had strangers stopping her for photographs.

Nicole dishes on what the Oscar red carpet actually feels like,
Hollywood Boulevard lurking underneath all that glamour, her size 4½
“Cinderella feet,” and the last-minute cobbler rescue that saved her Oscar
shoes.

Upstairs at the Oscars, Nicole and Jonah escape the crowds
and unexpectedly run into Bobby Cannavale and Rose Byrne. Nicole also reveals the star she wished she'd had more time with: Emma Stone. And after the winner is announced, we learn a fascinating Oscar-night secret involving ties and alphabetical order that none of us knew.

We also get personal about Nicole and Jonah’s six-and-a-half-year relationship, working and writing together, and what’s next. Nicole is now developing her own movie and says she’s ready to make the leap from actor to writer-producer and watch something she created come off the page and onto the screen.

And while Pol’ flips Nicole’s Armenian coffee cup in preparation for her upcoming reading, we close Part 1 with career dreams, audition secrets, Pol’ volunteering himself for Nicole’s next movie, and the reminder that sometimes the biggest career move begins with trusting yourself enough not to go home.

From Nickelodeon to Oscar nominee, Nicole Alyse Nelson’s
Hollywood story is funny, unexpected and only getting started.

Michelle Barone has been waiting two years for this Armenian
coffee reading — and the cup wastes no time going straight to the one
disappointment she still hasn't completely shaken.

What begins with the aftermath of a major reality-TV opportunity quickly
becomes something much bigger. Pol' Atteu sees that what Michelle thought was a destination may actually have been an introduction — putting her in front of the right people and preparing her for a completely different chapter. Then the cup points toward something Michelle hasn't acted on yet: a passion project close to her heart, one important person she already knows she needs to contact, and a phone call she's been hesitating to make.
Pol' gives her one instruction: stop waiting and make the call.But that's only the beginning. As the reading unfolds, Michelle opens up about the childhood experience that shaped her relentless optimism, the life she and her husband built together, and why she wants her next chapter to be driven by purpose instead of simply checking the right business boxes.

The cup suggests that the opportunity with the biggest payoff may be the one she least expects — and the one that means the most personally.Then the reading becomes much more emotional when Michelle asks about her mother, Josephine. What appears in the cup leaves the room stunned — and after Michelle places her thumb at the bottom, an unmistakable letter seems to emerge in the grounds.
Is it Josephine? A message? A sign connected to what Michelle is navigating
with her mother? Michelle gets chills as the reading suddenly connects career, family, timing and the importance of being present for this chapter of her life.
And there's one more mystery: Pol' sees something in Michelle's office that
needs to be removed before she can fully “bridge the gap” into what's next.
Michelle doesn't immediately know what it is — but Pol' tells her she'll
recognize it when she sees it.
A phone call. A passion project. Something that has to leave. A bridge into a
new chapter. And a “J” sitting unmistakably at the bottom of the cup.Michelle Barone came looking for answers. What she gets may be the push she's been waiting for.

Michelle Barone is UNDRESSED in New York City — and nothing is off limits.
Michelle joins Pol' Atteu and Patrik Simpson for a wildly candid conversation
about the reality-TV opportunity that almost changed everything: her
months-long run at The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She opens up about going through 11 auditions over roughly eight and a half months, filming with Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs, being placed on hold, believing she was close to landing the show — and finally getting the call that production was going in another direction.
But what really happened behind the scenes? Michelle reveals what she was
trying to accomplish when she attempted to bring fractured cast relationships together, why she believes geography and casting chemistry may have played a role, and how she processed the disappointment after getting so close. She also gets personal about her friendship with Teresa Giudice, sharing the side of Teresa she says viewers don't always get to see and the encouragement Teresa gave her after the Housewives door closed.
Then the conversation shifts from what didn't happen to what could be next.
Michelle says she's pitching other shows, admits she'd rather become “Andy
Cohen” than simply be a reality cast member, and talks about expanding her
podcast world between New York, Los Angeles and possibly Florida. Could an L.A. chapter — and even a future role on Ventura Shores — be in her future?

Of course, this is UNDRESSED, so the conversation gets deliciously unfiltered: Michelle talks fashion, diamonds, her upcoming tummy tuck, her husband's relief that Housewives didn't happen, her children, a possible move, and why red-carpet fashion lives forever. Meanwhile, Patrik's very revealing audition callback becomes a full-blown topic of conversation, Pol' offers some custom-underwear commentary, and Michelle arrives “undressed” in more ways than one.
It's Housewives secrets, friendship, family, reinvention, fashion, ambition and a lot of laughter — with Michelle Barone proving that sometimes the opportunity you almost get may be the one that opens the door to something even bigger.

Arden Myrin sits down for her Armenian coffee reading, and almost immediately the cup turns deeply personal. Pol' Atteu sees a single
letter in the saucer that stops Arden cold — a connection to her late mother
that seems impossible to ignore. From there, the reading begins pointing toward a major shift already gathering around Arden, with something unexpected waiting for her when she returns from filming.
The cup also reveals two mysterious initials — a D and a P — tied to two very
different possibilities. One appears connected to a commitment Arden may not see coming, while the other could lead her toward a creative opportunity she has wanted for years. With a musical she dreams of taking to New York and London, a movie she wants to shoot in Little Compton, and a new relationship quietly developing, the possibilities suddenly feel very real.
But the reading goes much deeper. Arden opens up about losing both parents, the collapse of her marriage, a painful relationship with her father and the emotional weight she has carried for years. Pol' gives her a seven-night full-moon ritual designed to help her protect her energy and finally stop allowing old darkness to penetrate the life she is building now.
Then the cup delivers another startling sign: a second J surrounded by a heart — followed by the image of a bird. Arden reveals that hummingbirds repeatedly appear whenever she is working on her musical and believes they are signs from her mother. By the end of the reading, Arden is emotional, empowered and convinced something big is coming. What exactly is waiting for her? Pol' says she will know very soon.

Arden Myrin is officially in The Haute Seat — and nothing is safe. Pol' Atteu and Patrik Simpson put Arden to work on the headlines, the red carpet and a game built around the very unusual place that helped make her who
she is. The conversation starts with World Cup eye candy and quickly veers into one of the wildest spectacles imaginable, before a celebrity romance sparks a debate over love, loyalty and whether supporting your partner can ever compete with a much bigger obligation.
Then it is time for Runway Rundown. Timothée Chalamet gets the room talking, Sarah Colonna lands in the fashion firing line, and Arden has to face photos from her own red-carpet past. What starts as a style critique turns into a surprisingly useful lesson about tailoring, proportions, borrowing clothes and why the wrong photograph can completely change how a look reads.

But underneath the laughs, Arden gets candid about the long road to finally
being seen as a leading lady. She opens up about loss, rejection and the moment she stopped needing permission to be exactly who she is. From her mother's advice to "protect your magic" to the strange, hilarious family story
behind Little Miss Little Compton, Arden reveals how a childhood in a tiny
Rhode Island town helped fuel a much bigger imagination.
And just when you think the episode cannot get more unexpected, Pol' and Patrik challenge Arden to "The Tale of Two Comptons." Kendrick Lamar,
Quakers, cowboys, centuries-old history and one very unexpected Snoop Dogg twist collide before Arden heads toward her Armenian coffee reading. It is fashion, fame, family, grief, comedy and absolute chaos — exactly where Arden Myrin shines.
