The Scoop for Dec. 9, 2019

This apparently went off without a hitch, so that’s nice.
Steve Harvey announced the new Miss Universe 2019 as South Africa.
A) Congrats to Steve for getting it right. and B) Why do they not say the name of the woman? She has a name and it’s not South Africa. It’s Zozibini Tunzi. I don’t get it They don’t even put her name on the graphic on TV when she’s announced. So weird.


Ryan Reynolds likes to get up close with his fans, but he got a little too close this weekend. He was in Brazil promoting a movie when he was nearly crushed by the crowd.
Ryan is fine. He used his good looks and Aviation gin to jump out of the way in the nick of time.


Sometimes you hear things and your brain can’t quite make sense of it. Like this, Snooki is done with “Jersey Shore”. She quit the spin-off “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” after three seasons, because, get this, she’s tired of the drama and partying so much.
Isn’t that the whole show? Also, they did three seasons of that thing? Really?
