The Scoop for August 27, 2018

So Britney Spears did a show in London this weekend, and you can tell she was in London, because of her British accent. Britney, you were there for like six hours. They know you’re not from there. Just talk. They’d probably dig your Mississippi accent. You should bust that out.

Eddie Murphy is at it again. No, not another movie. Another kid. Yep. Eddie is looking to be a dad for the 10th time. So far, he has nine kids between the ages of two and 29, with five different women.

Apparently, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent the weekend in Italy with George and Amal Clooney, and George reportedly flew them on his private jet.
Why? They’re Royalty. Not made up American Royalty. Actual royalty. I’m pretty sure they could have gotten to Italy on their own.

Bonus Scoopage:
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have reached a divorce settlement but will wait until he completes his current rehab stint to file it in court. So you know what that means? If they haven’t started yet, they’ll both be available for dating soon. You’re welcome.
