The Scoop for Jan 17, 2019

Have you ever been out in public and though, “Hmm, that person over there looks like someone famous”. That’s exactly what happened to this young lady, she thought this guy was Alex Rodriguez. Turns out, she was right. And of course Alex strung her along for a bit, which kind of makes it look like he was just fishing for compliments. A-Rod, you’re dating J-Lo. What bigger compliment do you need?


The princess or duchess or whatever she is these days, Meghan Markle was making her rounds and met a lovely older Jamaican lady. And the two of them exchanged pleasantries, and then the lady popped this one on her…
“And you’re a fat lady”
I know. Awkward. But, she meant it as a compliment, since Meghan is six months pregnant… but look, just because this woman got away with it, in no way shape or form means you could do the same with Meghan or any other woman for that matter.


Singer, performer, and judge on The Voice Alicia Keys is hosting the Grammys this year, and she’s pretty stoked about it. So of course she told her kids, and they reacted, well, just like kids.
“What’s the Grammys?”
Kids, am I right? See, if that were me and my kids, their first reaction would probably be, “So I guess I can’t borrow the car that night then?”


No real bonus scoopage today. So instead, here’s a Ghostbusters teaser trailer:
