The Scoop! For Feb. 11, 2021

So remember the big Jeep Super Bowl ad with Bruce Springsteen?
Well, you won’t be seeing that for a while. Jeep is, qoute, ‘pausing’ that campaign since it’s just now coming to light that The Boss got hit for drunk driving. A couple of things, One: This happened in November. Are you telling me they didn’t know about this before yesterday? And two, Bruce wasn’t even driving a Jeep. So what’s the big deal.
(Before you freak out, I understand why it’s a big deal, it’s a joke. I really shouldn’t have to explain these things.)


When you marry a rich celeb, it’s almost always a guarantee there will be a prenup. But that didn’t happen when model Paulina Porizkova married Ric Ocasek from The Cars. She was in love and his money didn’t matter. Until Ric passed away during their divorce and he had cut her completely out of his will leaving her flat broke. So does she regret not signing?
Yes. Yes she does.


I understand getting celebs to be the face of your PSA, but when they aren’t actors, things can get, well, interesting. Take Elton John’s new PSA…
It’s a slow day for Scoop, what do you want from me?
