The Scoop for Aug. 7, 2018

In case you missed it, another season of “The Bachelorette” wrapped up, and before Becca picked this seasons winner, she had to crush Blake’s dreams… and he didn’t see it coming. But don’t worry Blake, Becca understands…remember. She didn’t see losing her fiance last time either. But then Becca went on to pick Garrett, but TMZ told us that before the first episode even aired, so I don’t think anyone was really surprised. Well, other than Blake.

Have you seen those Chantix commercials with Ray Liotta? Weird, right? But even weirder is comedian Paul F. Tompkins spoof of them. My favorite line is where he says “Once, a cigarette pushed me down the stairs and blamed it on an owl.” I mean that shouldn’t make me laugh, but it does.

So what do you do when you’re a celebrity, but Hollywood doesn’t want you any more? Well, if your Steven Seagal, you get a job with Russia. Yep. Steven Seagal is getting a diplomatic post in Russia. That, or it’s part of his new movie, Under Siege 3, This Time I’m on Their Side.

Michael J. Fox wants you to know, that in spite of what the internet says, he’s not dead. Nope. Just another death hoax. Thanks internet. You know, you keep this up and I’ll have to start questioning every thing I see online…

Bonus Scoopage:
Robert Redford is retiring from acting. Robert says his next film, The Old Man and the Gun, will be his last, although he added “Never say never…” And his next fiml sounds whack-a-doo. The Old Man and the Gun is about Forrest Tucker, a real-life dude who “robbed 17 banks and he got caught 17 times and went to prison 17 times. But he also escaped 17 times.” That’s crazy… and awesome.
