The Scoop for March 16, 2021

Matthew McConaughey has a new YouTube channel, and his introductory video is full Matthew McConaughey.
He and I are almost the same age, and there is no reason either one of us should use the phrase, “All killa no filla.” None. Not even because he’s Matthew McConaughey. Nope. I mean I’m still gonna check it out, but come on man. Do better.


When it comes to celebrity awards, most people think they are a pretty big deal. So what was John Legend doing when he won his R&B Album of the Year Grammy?
He was mincing garlic at home.
Not gonna lie. I respect that. Mostly because I figured John Legend would have people to do that for him. I know I would. If I had any amount of fame or weatlth, the first luxury I would get for myself: Personal Garlic Mincer. It’s been on my bucket list since I was 12.


Idris Elba continues to expand his media empire. Idris just signed a deal to write children’s books. He’ll be producing both picture books and fiction that he has developed with his writing partner.
And before you ask, no. The picture books are not pictures of Idris. These are kids books. Cut it out.

Would you like to hear Amy Lee of Evanescence do an acoustic cover of the Tenacious D classic, “Kyle Quit the Band”?
