The Scoop for Dec. 12, 2018

Kathie Lee had a big announcement yesterday. She’s leaving the Today Show. And after nearly 11 years, as expected, things got a little teary. The crew even lowered a box of tissue for everyone. Well almost everyone. You can check out the teary moment RIGHT HERE.

Four time former Oscar host Whoopi Goldberg says social media has made hosting the Oscars difficult, but not for the reasons you might think. Because everyone online is so overly critical. No one wants to hear every little criticism.
She’s not wrong. I find it funny that someone will watch a six hour award show celebrating celebrities only to hit the internet with the sole purpose of insulting those same celebrities. We are a weird, shallow, attention craving pile of people sometimes.

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but James Corden isn’t from here, so there are some American words and phrases that are new to him. Like when he was in the south and a woman said to him…”Oh, bless your heart.”
He thought it was the sweetest thing ever. Luckily, Ellen was there to educate him.
“It’s an insult….You poor, stupid person.”
I mean you would think that one would be obvious, but, Bless his heart, he just didn’t get it.

BONUS SCOOPAGE:
Charlie Sheen says he’s hit a milestone of sobriety — and he’s got a shiny Alcoholics Anonymous coin to mark the occasion. The former Two and a Half Men star posted a photo Tuesday of a sobriety coin, given to members of AA to mark their progress. From the looks of the celebratory token Charlie shared on social media, it appears he’s been off booze for at least a year.
He captioned his post: “so THIS happened yesterday! a fabulous moment, in my renewed journey. #TotallyFocused.”

Bello again: Pierre Coffin, voice of the Minions, finally understands his yellow henchman

Filmmaker Pierre Coffin is the creator and chief practitioner of Minionese, but it's a dialect — like most things Minions — that's taken time to hone. "I have this file on my phone of Indian dishes or weird words." Coffin says. "People come up to me and say, 'You should say that!' and I write it down."
