The Scoop for Dec. 17, 2018

In case you missed it, this happened last night…

And no, he didn’t get it wrong this time. But honestly, if he wouldn’t have messed up the winner three years ago, would you even know there was a Miss Universe pageant any more?

TVs Incredible Hulk, Lou Ferrigno, had a botched pneumonia vaccination that put him in the hospital. Turns out he ended up getting fluid in his bicep. He’s fine, but seriously, how do you know he’s got fluid in his bicep? Because it’s slightly bigger than the other one? Can you imagine being the person who screwed up that shot though? Becuase you know in the back of your mind you’d be like, “Is he going to Hulk out on me?” While terrifying, that would still be kind of cool.

I’m not saying it’s a slow day in celebrity news, but here’s what passes for a headline on the internet today:
Is Johnny Galecki Engaged? Here Are the Clues That Have Us Wondering
Yep. Slow day. Also, don’t care if he’s engaged or not.

Bonus Scoopage:
Netflix‘s newest feature is already facing harsh criticism, and it hasn’t even rolled out yet. They’re testing out an instant rewind feature, which allows users to re-watch a scene they’ve just finished. So far, users find it distracting, irritating, and entirely unnecessary. The button pops up at the bottom right of the screen, in the same area as the “skip intro” button. A Netflix spokesman says the feature gives users the ability to rewatch favorite scenes and memorable moments with the click of a button.
Netflix subscribers across Twitter and Reddit have been criticizing the rewind button since it debuted. One user said: “I hope this isn’t a permanent thing because it’s distracting and obnoxious.” Another said: “If I want to see something again, I’ll rewind it myself…I don’t need a prompt.”
