The Scoop for April 1, 2019

Mark Hamill is tackling another iconic roll for the big screen: Chucky from Child’s Play.
Yep. After seven movies, the latest was just two years ago, they’re rebooting the Chucky franchise this June. Honestly, I’ve never been into those movies, but with Mark doing the Chucky voice, I’m probably gonna give this one a go.


Chris Rock was behind a mic this weekend to present an award, and the organziers just had one request. No Jussie Smollet jokes. Yeah, you can guess where that went.


If you’ve watched The Voice, you know that Kelly Clarkson can get emotional. Like a lot. And Kelly says since having kids, she just can’t help it. She get’s emotional over, well, everything. Quote, “Like, I’m in the grocery store, somebody brings out new produce. And I’m like, just in time for me, and I’m like, ‘This is a moment’.”
Don’t get me wrong, I like a fresh batch of Spring Mix greens in a bag as much as the next guy, but I don’t get weepy over it. Usually.


Tom Hiddleston did one of those awkward ads that only plays in foreign countries. It’s a commercial for Centrum women’s vitamins in China, and he pretends to have spent the night at a woman’s place, and fixed her breakfast. And yes, it’s wonderfully awkward.
