The Scoop for Jan. 16, 2019

In a very Hollywood move, Anna Faris has offered to officiate her ex’s wedding. Yep. When Chris Pratt told Anna he proposed to Katherine Schwarzenegger she had a rather unique response:
‘I just wanted to remind you I’m an ordained minister.’
So it sounds like she’s actually pretty happy for him. But that would be pretty weird right? Officiating your Ex’s wedding? I think I’d have to give that one a hard pass.

Dax Shepard had a rather interesting revelation recently…
“I’d say I’ve had what maybe could be called a sex addiction at some point in my life”
While that might be surprising, what I find even more surprising is Dr. Phil’s reaction to this admission.
“There are worse addictions.”
That’s your reaction? “There are worse addictions?” I have a feeling if this was just some Joe Schleprock and not Dax Shepard, your reaction wouldn’t be so flippant. I think Dr. Phil has a bit of a man crush.

Apparently back in 1975, Time magazine wanted Lily Tomlin to quote “come out” of the closet on the cover of their magazine. But Lily turned them down. Why?
“I wanted to be acknowledged for my performance. I can see in retrospect that was hardly worth it.”
I don’t know Lily, I think your work stands on it’s own. Remember Edith Anne? I loved that bit.

Bonus Scoopage:
Jason Reitman has co-written a screenplay and will direct a new Ghostbusters movie. Reitman’s father, Ivan Reitman, who directed and produced the original 1984 film, will produce. The new film will go into production this summer and will be released summer 2020. According to the internet, it’s going to a continuation of the 1984 sequel and will not be connected to the 2016 film. But, the sequel was out in 1989, so I have no idea where this movie falls. But, there’s no word on if the original cast members will be back. But folks are saying that Jason has begun testing teenagers for four mystery roles. Hmm, I wonder what those roles would be?
