[Applause] coming up on the weekend view why Megan Markle's new Netflix series with Love Megan is getting a brutal response from some viewers Jennifer Kulage shares how being a club hopping hell raiser in her 20s made her into the superstar she is today And Sex in the City's Kristen Davis reveals the surprising reason she wouldn't break up with Alec Baldwin It all starts now on The Weekend View Hello everybody It's the weekend Welcome to the weekend view So here's our first story Megan Markle is trying to rebrand herself by treading on Martha Stewart's turf in her new Netflix lifestyle series with Love Megan but critics are not sending any love back See what you think Watch You see where our rainbow is coming together here And you don't have to do a big platter of this You could do this with one small row for your kids for breakfast It's a real delight in being able to be a present parent And it's a luxury sometimes because we all have to work We all have a lot of stuff to do But when you can take a minute to just Saturday morning Yeah Flower sprinkles if we must This we're just going to put into a bag Peanut butter [Music] pretzels I know that Daniel loves peanut butter I'm still going to label this You always want to be conscious if someone has a nut allergy Great I don't think anyone in the world knows that Megan Markle has eaten Jack in the Box and loves it Funny too that you keep saying Megan Markle you know I'm Sussex now You have kids and you go "No I share my name with my children. " Do you think this is a good fit for her or there are Megan haters out there looking for a reason to turn on her I I have to tell you I watched it I binged it I know I loved it You know I I I like the crafting thing I like the the I have a chicken coupe I I I garden I do all the things And I learned how to make things by watching it I I I I thought it was great And this is not new for her for a long time She ran a website called the TIG which I actually followed and it was very good and it gave just really good tips and she gives really good tips I like it Okay I will say this I actually love Megan Markle I'm not a Megan Markle hater but I loathe this show Give us a suits reboot That's what America really wants from her So okay she taught us to put pretzels from one plastic bag to another plastic bag No but she does so many things No her average she's basically doing the TRD wife aesthetic which I always think is not super relatable Even if you have all the health in the world you're not making your own bath salts getting honey from your bees making wax candles making parfets and but also not showing the help you have behind the scenes to be able to do it all I'm not Do you Do you like Martha Stewart though I do like Martha Stewart but I think that it feels a little more authentic So I don't like any of the lifestyle shows but mainly because I need someone to remind me that whatever I'm doing is going to be fine If you're telling me to elevate or I'm going to look and compare myself to what I don't do I'm definitely turning the channel Aspirational No it is aspirational and that's beautiful for people that like that The problem is in the day and age of social media and being so busy and honestly the guilt I feel most days as a mom I don't want any reason to look and say everybody's doing it better Look at how pretty that is Like I need a throw a pizza on the counter tell me it's okay and tell me you can relate and you did the same thing too Like that's what I need You know that um the part that I don't get though and and I you know it's not just about Megan Markle it's so many we can talk about it different people There's all these people who hate Megan Markle and then go and watch the show so that they can then post about how much they hate Megan Markle If you hate her so much don't watch the show Don't talk about her You know it's all these people who like they exist just to be internet trolls That is like the people that watch this show That being said I like you know I really like um I like shows that are like the ones that Anthony Berdane used to do where there's cultural and history and food and booze and you know Stanley in this show did a great one Yeah Anthony Powrowski is doing one on Nat Gio It's great Pamela Anderson has a very similar show called Cooking with Love that I actually love It is the genre of trying to make everything beautiful and excellent but she shows mess ups like she she'll accidentally swear She'll burn her hand She'll be like "Oh I'm not actually good at cooking. " But you learn something in it This felt very like I'm putting She's not comfortable The girl has I got to tell you I mean again like I have beehives I cultivate my own hunt My my You have a beehind I have beehives I have I have beehives Um my kids and I take some of the the beeswax and we make candles Like all of this is very attainable Like you can do it Some people are so when my daughter came to the show she followed Sunny around and I couldn't figure out why Everywhere Sunny went and someone's like "It's cuz she looks like a princess.
" And like Sunny's room was beautiful and her clothes were beautiful She was to me and I've got like stains and sweats and running around she's like "Look at this mother. " But it's I love it for you I'm just saying it's it's very attainable and I and I and I think that it's it's nice to have something that's aspirational But I also loved Martha Stewart's I did Okay Completely inadequate I am sorry but Martha Stewart is in a class by her own Okay And she's earned it through decades and decades and decades Remember she you know she began doing this She was a caterer She was a caterer No one's fridge looks like Megan Markle's fridge in this show It just does not It's not her house It's someone else's house And in my next life I'm going to have a show I would watch a show No not the kind I'm going to have a show where I'm going to teach people which I used to do make papier-mâché puppets that look like my relatives I like that I did I used to do that Do you have any picture of these of puppies I I did that I did I did decoupage I did watercolors I'm very crafty It's really nice to do this Which one is decoupage Decoupage is when you put pictures on on a surface and you use glue They have sites for that these days And then you can original but papermâché puppets That was really fun to do It's nice to do it with kids also Like my kids still garden But it's it is nice the stuff that she's doing She It's very kid-friendly So you get to you can garden with your kids You can collect honey with your kids Were you doing that Joy to make money at a time when you needed to or were you doing that Giving birth to a child No I was younger than 40 I was like 28 And I gave birth to the baby and your daughter My daughter and I Yeah She has an And you did And I became very very creative I couldn't do enough I wanted to paint I wanted to sculpt I missed my Renaissance period because I gave birth to a baby That was the most creative thing I had ever done in my life Yeah But as I was saying to them that was it I I had the baby and then I said to my husband "I'm not doing this again. " That's it I'm not doing it again And I didn't Here's another story Actress and comedian Jennifer Culage very funny very funny told People magazine that she credits a lot of her success to being an outofcrol party girl in her 20s She says she always channels memories of those days into the party girl roles that she plays So can a little rebellion do you some good later on How did your 20s influence how you are today Oh so I had the opposite problem I never partied I always followed the rules But I it actually does inspire me in this sense I tell a lot of young people on their that no company no job nothing is worth missing life moments And I missed about a decade's worth of saying well I'm I'm working my way up I'm proving myself I can't leave I can't make that wedding I can't go home I can't see my And I missed a lot And I know that the north star of life is that stuff that I missed And I would say nothing is worth missing that time So I wish id partied more I'm sure she's on to something I partied in my 20s I'd be out four or five nights a week We'd go out till the bars closed and I'd somehow show up at my job on Capitol Hill at 8 a.
m Cuz in your 20s you just bounce back from it Like you're just fine And I feel like I didn't leave anything on the table like I had experiences I don't miss like I don't feel like oh I didn't go to that concert or that party I didn't date this guy So then you are more happy when you get to your 30s and I never leave my house or my dogs or my husband No I I actually um when I graduated from college because I I started college at 16 I graduated when I was in my 20s starting my 20s and I didn't go right to law school and I I I was a waitress at Fridays and I partied almost every night Um I did go to Fridays hung over and then I got fired dessert I spilled the blueberry blimpes on this guy in a white linen suit So I learned a lot from getting fired and partying But I I I definitely missed the teen partying because I was younger than the people that I was in school with So I made up for it Man party in my life I got to tell you Yeah I when I was uh when I was a senior in high school like halfway through my senior year my parents went back to Nicarawa right And they left cuz there was a government change and they left me uh in a no with a housekeeper in a fourbedroom house So I became the party house like every single day during college I stayed in Miami because of that I was like I got everything I don't need to have freedom to you know go to be cold to have freedom And then I really I really enjoy socializing I really enjoy being with people You make a good margarita I you know I I mean I I I party in my 50s and my 40s and my 30s and my 20s and my teens and I'm going to party till the day I die I I I have to say you were married in your 20s I find this conversation extremely depressing because I had to listen to all of you right now when I I got married at 22 So I I missed the entire sexual revolution that was going on in the 70s and after I got married I had a baby and then I was doing papier-mâché puppets I lost everything and I resent it We'll be right back The weekend is sponsored by Rock Skincare [Music] [Applause] Welcome back So Sex in the City alum Kristen Davis was just on Rob Low's podcast talking about when she used to date Alec Baldwin She said "Yeah she said she knew it wouldn't last but there was something she really wanted to hold on to. " Watch One of the best things about Alec Baldwin when I dated him is that he had the most incredible house Like I remember I was at work and I was like "Sir Jessica I just don't know if it's going to work out with Alec and I but I just really love that house. " Which is literally like one of the only times I have felt that way Do you know But I'm like "I don't want to break up with this person because I like his house.
