The Scoop for Aug. 15, 2018

Will Smith is in my top 10 celebrities who would be fun to hang out with. And now, thanks to Omaze, you can do just that on his birthday.
Sounds fun right? Plus it will be part of a YouTube special called Will Smith: The Jump. Why is it called the Jump? Because he’s bungie jumping out of a helicopter over the Grand Canyon.

Ok, I think this is the last time I’m going to talk about Omarosa. While she’s out pimping her new book, she made this interesting claim… To shut down Donald Trump, she says to just ignore him because he loves the attention.
Ok, two things. First. He’s the president. Kind of hard to ignore him. Second, does anyone else see the irony of her making that statement while she’s out pimping her book?

If you like baking, celebrities and fighting hunger… then Scarlett Johansson is here for you. She and a bunch of other celebs have designed their own spatulas.
Scarlett’s has her lip imprints all over it. It looks like she kissed the thing a bunch. I’m all about helping out those in need, but let’s be honest…If I bought her spatula, the odds are good that thing never makes it to the kitchen…

Bonus Scoopage:
The Twilight Zone remake will not only be produced by Jordan Peele, but could also feature him as on-screen host. The original Twilight Zone kicked off each episode with creator Rod Serling stepping before the camera to introduce the story we were about to watch. As Peele works on his new take on The Twilight Zone, he hasn’t ruled out the option of following Serling’s lead.
Double Bonus Scoopage:
Yesterday, Lindsay Lohan hit up instagram pitching what in her mind is a dream role…A live action version of The Little Mermaid starring her and Meryl Streep. Gotta be honest. Seeing Meryl Streep as the Little Mermaid would be interesting, but I’d watch it.
See, Lindsay thinks she should be Ariel… I assume because of the red hair.

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.
