The Scoop for April 21, 2020

Tom Hanks has recovered from his bout with the coronavirus, and now he’s going to be donating his plasma. The hope is, his antibodies will help in developing a vaccine. Or, because he’s Tom Hanks…
A Hank-cine.
I mean, I get it. It doesn’t really roll off the toungue though does it? Maybe Tom Shot? Shot of Tom? Or throw it old school and call it the Booster Buddy. You know, like his show Bussom Buddies?


The word fan is short for fanatic. Chris Hemsworth was reminded of that recently when a bunch of fans followed him down a super busy street in India on motorbikes.
Chis did finally stop and take pictures with the guy and his friends. I don’t know if he was impressed with their dedication or just, you know, afraid for his life. Because that’s how Princess Diana died.


Thanks to the quarantine that has everybody cooped up, people are doing things they probably haven’t done in a while, even celebs. Take country music star Garth Brooks.
He’s been going to the grocery store, and he likes it.
He says one of the reasons he likes it so much is that everyone has been so nice. And he says he’s lucky to live in a neighborhood like his, but he knows he’s not the only one living in an awesome neighborhood.
“But I have a feeling there’s a lot of neighborhoods like this, all over the United States… and all over the country as well.”
Does some one want to tell Garth that the country and the United States are the same thing?

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.
