The Scoop for Aug. 14, 2018

Pop stars and politics. That’s a combo that doesn’t always mix. However, when Nicki Minaj gave her opinion on Joe Biden, she had an interesting insight… she thought since he seems like a genuine guy, he must like big butts.
I don’t know if that’s a universal rule, but for Joe Biden, that seems spot on.

You know, I was going to do a story on Omarosa and her tapes and her being weird in an interview yesterday, but I just can’t talk about her any more. I just can’t…

Ryan Reynolds owns a gin distillery. Turns out after he had kids, he realized he had a deep love of gin. I mean, kids have a way of bringing out those deep emotions… like our love of booze.

So Stormy Daniels and Kirstie Alley are going to be working together…
No, Kirstie isn’t doing an adult film, they’re both joining the U.K.’s “Celebrity Big Brother”. I find it weird that for Kirstie, this seems like a big step down, but for Stormy, this could be her big break. It’s still weird that neither one is British, so why they’re doing the UK version is beyond me. Is it like the farm team for America’s Big Brother? If they end up in the top three, do they get bumped up to the American version? I have so many questions…

Bonus Scoopage:
To honor, well, himself, Sylvester Stallone teamed with luxury Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille to produce an ultra-rugged, ultra high-end timepiece. There’s only 20 of them and each will cost you nearly $1 million. If you’re still interested, they’re the new RM 25-01 Adventure Sylvester Stallone watch, it’s made of grade A titanium and is nearly indestructible. But it’s more than a watch… it has a compartment that hides up to five water purification capsules, each of which will render any liter of any water safe to drink in as little as 30 minutes.
