The Scoop for August 8, 2018

Apparently Seth Rogen thinks that Kristen Bell saved him from Hurricane Irma.
Turns out during the hurricane, Kristen got Disney to put Seth up in one of their hotels. And since Kristen plays Anna in Frozen, Seth thinks there is no way Disney would let Kristen die. That’s a pretty solid perk.

Remember Kel Mitchell from the Nickelodeon show All That? The one who said “Welcome to Good Burger home of the Good Burger. Can I take your order?”
Well after 20 years, people still want him to do the Welcome To Good Burger line, but he’s good with it, because he almost always gets free burgers when he does it. Man, another solid work perk.

You would think being an ex con, you would want to try and keep your head down, avoid attention. Not O.J. Simpson. Nope. He’s been hanging out in Las Vegas since his release, and apparently hamming it up with locals and tourists, like this guy Ricky. They took a quick video together where Ricky calls him a felon, and OJ says he doesn’t like it but, quote “… being a felon ain’t all bad.”
See OJ, you say you don’t like being called a felon, but then say it’s got it’s perks… And you wonder why people have a hard time believing the things you say…

It looks like things between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt aren’t getting any better.
Angelina claims Brad isn’t paying his fair share of child support. Which, if true, isn’t cool. But, her original divorce lawyer quit because she is apparently angry and unreasonable…Go figure.

Bonus Scoopage:
Mark Hamill thinks Carrie Fisher deserves a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame more than Donald Trump. Mark tweeted “How about replacing it with someone who really earned it? Like [Carrie Fisher].” It does seem a bit crazy that Trump would get a star before Princess Leia. But that’s just me.
