The Scoop! For Jan. 19, 2021

Remember Deion Sanders? Well, he has a request.
“Find my boombox”
I seems that Deion has a very special boombox that got stolen out of his truck in Jackson, Mississippi. And he really wants it back.
He’s offering a reward for its return.
If there’s one thing we here at Rewind can appreciate, it’s a good boombox.


When it comes to celebrities, George Clooney is a pretty big deal. But that wasn’t always the case. Like, remember back in the day when he made a quick cameo on The Golden Girls?
The only reason he got that gig was so he could keep his health insurance. It turns out when you’re an up-and-coming actor, in order to get insurance, you have to work. So weird.


A lot of people on Twitter like to tag, or Tweet At, celebs in order to get their attention. So a video game creator wanted to make a video game about the colonization of Mars and the Space X program. So this guy Tweeted at Elon Musk for permission to use Space X… every day… for 154 days. And he finally got Elon to respond. Elon finally told him, quote: “You can steal our name / logos and we probably won’t sue you “. So what will a game about the Space X Mars mission be like?
Oh yay. Sounds like fun. Can’t wait to play that one.
