The Scoop for Jan. 14, 2019

Looks liked we’ve got a new edition to a comedy classic coming our way. Yep, Eddie Murphy says Prince Akeem is back for a sequel to Coming to America. This time Akeem is back in Zamunda. This is great news for fans of the movie, and even better news for Arsenio Hall. Because, seriously, that was his one big screen success. I’m guessing he’s been calling Eddie since, I don’t know, 89 asking to do a second one.

Dwayne The Rock Johnson took some heat over the weekend for ranting in an interview about mellinials, calling them, quote, “Generation Snowflake.” The problem is, well, it never happened. Quote, “The interview never took place. Never happened. Never said any of those words.”
But The Rock did create a new generation and invited everyone to join up.
The Tequilla Generation. I don’t know if you can just “choose” your generation, but if that ones a thing, I’ll at least attend the meetings.

Bad news kids. Caitlyn Jenner and Sean Spicer are NOT doing “Celebrity Big Brother”
I know. But if you’re interested in hearing Joey Lawrence say this a hundred times in two episodes, “Whoa, unbelievable.”
Well, then you’re in luck.

Bonus Scoopage:
The publisher of the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books is suing Netflix over the “Black Mirror” movie “Bandersnatch”.
