The Scoop for Dec. 11, 2018

Just because you’re an amazing athlete doesn’t make you an expert on, well, anything really. Take Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors. Steph apparently thinks he’s an astrophysicist, or at least an expert on the moon landing. Because Steph doesn’t believe we actually went to the moon. So just to be clear, it’s almost 2019 and people still think the earth is flat and we’ve never been to the moon but we’re willing to pay someone millions of dollars to dribble a ball. Got it.

Normally, when you’re in the entertainment biz, you don’t start out at the top, but for Ellen DeGeneres she kind of did. She won a Showtime contest to be “The Funniest Person in America”. That seems impressive, but as she points out, it’s a terrible title. Especially for someone just starting out in comedy.

It turns out that Jennifer Aniston is a bit of an exhibitionist. Yep. She apparently likes doing things naked. Not just the normal naked things, but other stuff too. Like watching TV. Now if you think Jennifer strips naked in her living room and turns on the tube, well, that’s not exactly what’s happening. She just gets naked before bed, then watches TV in bed. So maybe not such an exhibitionist, she just watches TV in bed which seems pretty boring actually.

Bonus Scoopage:
James Bond likes women and martinis. But does he have a problem. Turns out, researchers at the University of Otago argue in a new paper titled “License to Swill” that “there is strong and consistent evidence that James Bond has a chronic alcohol consumption problem at the ‘severe’ end of the spectrum.” During his six decades on screen, a drink touched the secret agent’s lips an average of 4½ times per movie.
Bond’s biggest binge was in 2008’s Quantum of Solace, where he downed six of his signature Vesper Martinis.
