Scenes from a rock and roll marriage. In this super intimate episode, model and author Paulina Porizkova reveals everything you were ever curious to know about her marriage to The Cars’ Ric Ocasek: what she first saw in him, why they lived together after separating, and why, upon his death, he attempted to disinherit her. Porizkova also shares her thoughts on Tyra Banks who fired her from America’s Next Top Model, one-time beau and Oscars date Aaron Sorkin, and Elite Models founder John Casablancas. (One of them, is, in Porizkova's words, “full of shit.”) Andrew and the 56 year-old fashion icon discuss: parental abandonment, middle aged sex, and why she’s always crying on Instagram. Plus--what the “most beautiful girl in the world" is looking for in a man—and why she hasn’t been able to find it yet. We’ll be breaking some news with this one. Here’s Andrew’s 2011 New York Times magazine interview with Ric Ocasek, in which the late rocker says he’d prefer to listen to William Burroughs grumble than get anywhere near a water slide.
