Cristiano Malgioglio a Beasts: «I have Jennifer Lopez’s mouth tattooed on my buttock»
Hilarious, and at times touching, interview that Cristiano Malgioglio gives to Francesca Fagnani. It starts immediately with a bang with the revelation of his parents three tattoos dedicated to Jennifer Lopez. “Where are they?” asks the journalist and the lyricist replies: «On my back, leg and buttock where J.Lo’s mouth is. If you want, I’ll show it to you” Malgioglio says amidst laughter. On his hilarious “star charms”, however, the singer confesses to Francesca: «When I go to the shops I always ask for a bit of a discount».
The death of the mother, sexual orientation and the dig at Giusy Ferreri
In the studio of Beasts, Malgioglio is moved by remembering his mother: «For five years I couldn’t write anymore, I got sick alone. When she died I placed a letter on her heart in which I wrote everything that she had never known about me though there was no need to explain to my mother what my nature was».
The journalist delves into the issue: «When did you become aware of your sexual orientation?». «I don’t know» replies Cristiano «As a kid I had posters of Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift. My father asked why and my mother said: “You’ll see, it’ll change.” Instead I got worse.”

There is also room for questions about his very long career: «Did he receive the recognition he deserved?» asks Francesca and the lyricist replies candidly: «I don’t care, my songs will remain in history». Final dig then a Giusy Ferreri – about which in the past he had said “If it wasn’t for me he would still be in the supermarket” – : «I would have liked to write for her but he never called me to ask me for a song. But I don’t care anymore.”
Eva Herzigova a Beasts: «There was a “nice” meeting with Leonardo DiCaprio»
Top model and actress, Eva Herzigova talks about herself in 360° in the studio of Beasts. Starting with a alleged flirtation with Leonardo DiCaprio. In fact, Francesca reminds her: «At the end of the 90s there were rumors that the end of her marriage to Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres was DiCaprio’s fault». Eva replies with a smile: «My marriage was already over. There was a meeting with DiCaprio, friendlycome on”
On the well-known advertisement for a bra that made her a star around the world instead, the journalist asks. «Did you immediately understand the great success that was coming your way?» and Eva admits: «You don’t realize when it’s happening. But I realized that that image would be difficult to take away».

Husband’s betrayal, forgiveness and today’s top models
Romantically linked since 2003 to the entrepreneur Gregorio MarsiajFrancesca asks Eva about explicit photos of the husband with another woman that were published in 2011. «Did he know how to overcome and even forgive?» asks the journalist and the model replies: «I find that, especially if there are children, one has to fight. For photos like this it’s not worth breaking something more important.”
Francesca, however, insists and continues: «More than the photos, it was what they told. Betrayal is a possibility she contemplates in a relationship?”. Eva’s dry response: «It’s the woman who always chooses to tease and the man is weak at that moment.”. Phrase that immediately makes the journalist intervene «But the woman is the temptress and the man is the victim of temptation It doesn’t correspond to reality!».
Genny Urtis a Beasts: «This is how my transition was»
Hilarious, irreverent but also dramatic interview with cosmetic surgeon Genny Urtis. Back in the studio Beasts to tell, for the first time and with great sincerity, his transition journey. A journey conditioned, however, by a manipulative ex-boyfriendas Genny says: «He was a scammer. I’m still in treatment. Psychotropic drugs help me forget.”
Francesca then asks: «Did you make certain choices to please him?» and Genny confesses: «It led me to do things I would never have done. I didn’t want breaststhen I did it for him.” The journalist delves deeper into the issue asking if this man had promised her an idea of a family and Urtis reveals: «It made me dream of the life I hadn’t had yet, of believing I was a wife. We also had chosen the mothers of our childreni with the intention of wanting resort to surrogacy”.

The evenings in the Gintoneria, the argument with Diletta Leotta and Pier Paolo Pasolini

Anecdote also about argument with Diletta Leotta over her brother (fellow plastic surgeon): «He worked for me and then he didn’t behave very well».
In the end a hilarious sketch on Pasolini when Francesca asks: «Do you feel like a Pasolini character of our times?» and Genny replies: «What does it mean? What did Pasolini do? It was a little perverse». «It doesn’t seem like the right way to talk about Pasolini to me» the journalist intervenes and Urtis, a little embarrassed, states: «Light. You know, I read social media all day».
BigMama a Beasts: «I’ve had a really difficult year»
In the studio of Beasts, BigMama confesses with an open heart like never before. «It’s been a tough year, I’ve had problems with myself» begins the Neapolitan rapper and on the motivation she says: «The exposure I’ve had in recent years has done me a lot of good from a work point of view, but being so exposed to people’s judgments and thoughts really hurt me.”

Bullying, suicidal thoughts and sex with a bodybuilder
During the interview, BigMama also tells Francesca his childhood marked by bullying, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. «I experienced school as a place of bullying and when I go back now to talk to the kids I’m scared» says the singer, and then continues: «I cut myself on my arms and hid everything from my parents».
However, the Neapolitan rapper also talks about love, small transgressions and sex. Francesca asks her smiling: «The last time she was left out of the blue she reacted by transforming her room into a a hippie tent for the practice of free sex. What has he done?”. BigMama’s response without mincing words: «I’m a big fan of free sex. I’ve happened to do it with several people, but not together. I’ve had some experiences here. The most transgressive thing? Sex with a bodybuilder».
