The Scoop for April 7, 2021

We often think that celebrities live in a world all their own. Some of them try really hard to prove they are just like us, and then there’s Hugh Jackman. Don’t get me wrong, I think Hugh Jackman is great. But I’ve never taken a violinist with me skiing.
So help me, if Hugh Jackman doesn’t star in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Musical, On Ice, then what’s the point of Hollywood?


New York City is the latest city to hop on the legal cannabis train, and a lot of people are really excited about it. Like Pete Davidson.
Sure, it’s about 12 years late to help with his police record, but still. He’s happy. You can see it in his eyes.
No offense to Pete Davidson, but he’s got some of that Steve Buscemi thing going on, so his eyes don’t look happy so much as tired. Of course, it could just be the cannabis…


If you’ve seen Aaron Rodgers guest hosting on Jeopardy, you know they are having a tough time finding a solid host. So it makes sense that a petition to get LeVar Burton to be the permanent host is gaining momentum.
I’d totally be ok with Jordi LaForge hosting Jeopardy. But, if they think they Robot Aaron Rodgers host a game show, can it be Wheel of Fortune? Pat Sajak needs a break.


Bonus Scoopage:
If you’ve ever wanted to see Josh Groban sing a three-minute song about beans, you’re in luck.
