The Scoop for March 12, 2020

Well, the coronavirus just got real for Hollywood. Tom Hanks and his wife have both tested positive
Tom and his wife are currently in quarantine in Australia. Quote, “Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?” We’re pulling for ya’ Forrest!


And the hits just keep on coming, because now, thanks to the virus, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The View, Live with Kelly and What’s His Name, Good Morning America and more will not be taping in front of a live studio audience. But the one that has me scratching my head is Survivor. The next two seasons will be postponed at least two months because of the health risks and precautions associated with coronavirus.
Of all the shows to continue during the pandemic, don’t you think a show called Survivor is the one that should go on?


Here’s a thing. Want to know the key to a really strong marriage? Well, according to Vanessa Lachey, wife of former boy band star Nick Lachey, it’s easier than ou think.
“SHOWER SEX.”
Yep. But not because it’s super sexy or anything like that. Nope. It’s because it’s convenient.
She said, quote, “So I’m in the shower and I’m like, ‘I have a full day. You have a full day. It’s either now or never.'”
Who knew, multi-tasking the key to a strong marriage.


Bonus Scoopage:

Not to spoil it for you, but this is Sarah Palin. I’m so happy right now.
