The Scoop for Dec. 9, 2020

Nigella Lawson is a big deal celebrity chef, so when it comes to kitchen things, people tend to listen to her. But it’s when she says things like this that people really take note.
She weirdly pronounces microwave, as “meek-ro-wah-vay”.
I’m sorry, what was that?
Raise your hand if this is how you plan on pronouncing that appliance from now on?

The internet is full of rumors and half truths and, well, flat out lies. Like there was a rumor that Katy Perry asked Dolly Parton to perform with her at the 2015 Super Bowl. But that can’t be right, can it?
Well, according to Dolly, yeah, that happened. But Dolly had to say no because her husband was sick.
I think Dolly at the the next Super Bowl is the Half Time show America deserves after a year like this. Can we make that happen please?


Even Joe Exotic has an entire team working to get him a Presidential Pardon…
I don’t think things are looking so great, because now, Joe has reached out to Kim Kardashian for help with the pardon.
I say that like I’m shocked by it, but honestly… It’s Joe Exotic, it’s 2020, so yeah, sure, why not.
