The Scoop for Feb. 18, 2020

If you saw the movie Hustlers, you know it was about a bunch of strippers trying to get by. Well, to get ready for her role, Constance Wu went above and beyond.
She went undercover at a strip club.
So you were just hanging out watching?
Nope. She gave lap dances to strangers.
So, how’d you do?
“I made $600 my first night.”
Is that good? I feel like that’s pretty good.


When Vince McMahon was putting his XFL franchise back together, a lot of people were throwing Tim Tebow’s name around as being a perfect fit. So did Tim ever have talks with the XFL?
“Yeah, there was some communication”
Turns out Tim is committed to swinging a bat instead in the Major Leagues instead of throwing a ball in the minor leagues of football.


One of the perks of being a Royal is lending your fame to charity. Take Prince Harry. He has a Welsch charity that provides, quote, ‘lasting, positive change in the southern African Kingdom of Lesotho and in communities in Wales’. Sounds like a fine cause. Except on the Royal Family’s website, when you click on that link it took you to a Chinese porn site. Whoops.
Here’s the deal. I’m sure it was an accident. But, you know who ever put that site together for them actually visited that site on purpose, and even had the link copied for some reason.
