The Scoop for Feb. 13, 2020

Remember Jim Bakker? TV evangelist, theme park owner, and ex con? Well he’s apparently still doing some form of a show, and now he’s pimping out a cure for the corona virus. You might be thinking, “Doug, I thought the CDC said there isn’t any antiviral treatment for the coronavirus?” And you’re right. And, technically, Jim and his cronies aren’t saying it’ll cure the coronavirus, but…
“Well let’s say it hasn’t been tested on this strain of the coronavirus.”
And that’s all you need to say. Thanks, goodbye. I’ll be keeping my money, thank you very much.


Rock bands are notorious bad boys. It’s part of the mystique of rock n’ roll. Heck, back about 20 years ago, KISS had a SWAT team called to their hotel. Not for groupies, not for drugs, or a crazy party. Nope.
Gene Simmons threatend to blow up the hotel.
Now why would he threaten to blow up the hotel?
He was upset that room service took too long to answer.
That’s so rock n’ roll Gene. You giant man child.


Jim Carrey is finding himself in a bit of internet hot water because of this exchange with an interviewer.
Her: Is there anything left on your bucket list?
Jim: Just you.
So of course people are calling him sexist and sleazy. I think it’s obvious he was joking. Granted, it wasn’t super funny, and a fairly obvious joke, but a joke none the less. Plus, it’s possible he was just talking about being interviewed by her. but hey, if you didn’t have a reason to be mad today, I give you Jim Carrey.


Bonus Scoopage:

Brian May from Queen likes his fans. Nosey cameramen, not so much.

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.
