The Scoop for Aug. 28, 2019

Even celebrities have a hiccup in their day. Just yesterday, my wife’s favorite Jason Momoa got stuck in a crowded elevator for two hours.
My wife is a bit claustraphobic, but I’m pretty sure she’d be ok spending two hours in an elevator with Jason Momoa. Then again, he had his dog Rama with him, so she’d be pretty torn as to who she’d pay attention to.


Kevin Bacon has come to fully embrace the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, but he wasn’t always cool with it. As a matter of fact, he pretty much hated it at first.
“I thought the joke was, ‘Can you believe such a light weight can be connected to Laurence Olivier?'”
Right? I mean, you were on Guiding Light, and Laurence Olivier was Othello, which is pretty much the same thing.


I’m not sure how this works, but Martha Stewart somehow gets a little more awesome everyday. She recently threw some shade at Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop and it was so Martha.
“It was horrifying. And no one, no one, should have to go throug that kind of indignity.”
Ok, Martha was talking about prison there, but she did say that she wasn’t a follower of Gwyneth’s Goop, and she wished every entrepreneur well, quote, “if they’re movie stars or hardworking women like I am, who are not movie stars.”
Ouch Martha. Well played.
