The Scoop for April 2, 2019

Chris Rock took a bit of heat for taking jabs at Jussie Smollett over the weekend. Well, now you can add Tracy Morgan to that list of people takin’ jabs. Tracy said he has a new job on Empire, and the only thing he is contractually obligated to do is, quote, “Not commit a hate crime.”
I would think that you would be contractually obligated to not actually commit a hate crime, but hey, what do I know about Hollywood contracts.


Jennifer Garner got her instagram followers all excited yesterday with this surprise announcement.
“I have written written my first, and probably only, book.”
Turns out, Jennifer loves her a good April Fools joke, because that’s what that book was. I mean, the title should have been a clue.
“Bless your heart”
Get it? Because if you believed her, well, bless your heart.


In what should come as not surprise to anyone, it looks like Wendy Williams and her husband are going to seperate.
I mean, after Wendy’s health issues, dealing with addiction, and hubby having an affair and possibly a kid with his mistress, I think seperation is literally the least she could do. Seriously. No joke. Get better Wendy. You don’t need that pressure right now.


Selma Blair posted a rather unique “makeup tutorial” yesterday, where she shows how she applies bronzer without the fine motor skills that were taken from her by MS. And she told people to, quote, “Laugh and feel free to reapply my makeup.”

Bello again: Pierre Coffin, voice of the Minions, finally understands his yellow henchman

Filmmaker Pierre Coffin is the creator and chief practitioner of Minionese, but it's a dialect — like most things Minions — that's taken time to hone.
