The Scoop for March 20, 2019

So the Wendy Williams weirdness continues. If you watch her show Wendy, you know she took some time off. It was never really explained exactly why she needed the time off, but yesterday we got a little clarification from Wendy herself.
“I have been living in a sober house.”
Ok, and why is that Wendy.
“You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine…. in my past.”
I know she’s trying to be honest and come clean about what’s up, but when she says “in my past”, I think what she really means is, “last month”. But hey, Wendy. Work you plan, get sober, stay sober.


So Mark Hamill has apparently been working on a couple of projects at the same time. I wonder, is one of those projects, I don’t know, say Star Wars? Well laccording to Mark, quote, “That’s NDA.”
Hmm, what movie could possibly want you to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement? I know, maybe Star Wars? Again, according to Mark, “You know I love driving the Disney executives crazy, because what are they going to do? Fire me?”
Exactly. Luke is totally in the next Star Wars movie.


Ok. I’m just going to read this new project that Ryan Phillippe is starring in: A modern-day Frankenstein cop drama.
Let’s just go full odd ball and make it a musical and you’ve got Frankenstein Cop Rock. Ok, I might actually watch that.


Bonus Scoopage:

Long before Brie Larson donned her super hero undies, she was writing her own songs, self-recording them and uploading the songs to her own website. She even had a record deal. And honestly, even though the title is ridiculous, she’s not bad. Plus, she’s playing some decent guitar here.
