The Scoop for Aug. 20, 2019

You might not know who Whitney Port from what she’s done, she was in the TV show “The Hills” by the way, but you’ll probably remember her for what she didn’t do. Or more appropriately, who she didn’t do. Leonardo DiCaprio.
That may be the first time Leo has struck out since his movie The Beach. Yeah, I had to look that one up. Dude doesn’t make many bad films.


When you’re a celebrity, everybody wants to see what you’re doing on social media… unless your that celebrities kid. Then nope. Alex Rodriguez says, even though his daughters don’t want him to follow them, they clearly follow him.
“Both of them would DM me and say, Dad are you serious? Dad you know I’m going into high school next year. This is how bullying starts.”
No kids, that’s called being a dad. Get used to it. They’re embarassing. It’s what we do.


Want to know the secret to Paul McCartney’s guitar sound? Flat pennies. Apparently. Sir Paul was seen flattening coins on train tracks so he can use them as guitar picks.
I would think former Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney could afford to have someone make him guitar picks out of pennies, but hey, the man likes his DIY.
