Not So Hollywood introduces you to the totally un-Hollywood side of your favorite stars. Hosted by Entertainment Journalist Adrianna Costa, Not So Hollywood invites guests over to our LA bungalow where we chat with the stars you love…but don't know as well as you think.


Not So Hollywood takes a fun, deep dive into the lives of actors, athletes, musicians, and public figures, proving that being a star is just part of his or her story.


Adrianna (Access Hollywood, CNN, Extra, People The TV Show!) ditches all the typical questions held for movie premieres and dives into the stuff we all really want to know about…the stuff stars actually do day in and day out— their side hustles, passion projects, hidden talents– the pieces that round them out but are rarely spotlighted.

Not So Hollywood is Executive Produced by Steve Harding and Co-Executive Produced by Adrianna Costa.
