The Scoop for March 27, 2019

I’m sure you heard that all the charges against actor Jussie Smollett have been dropped, and obviously, he’s pretty happy with that.
So prosecutors saw fit to drop all the charges, then they must believe without a shadow of a doubt that Jussie was innocent right? Turns out, nope. The lead prosecutor still thinks Jussie is guilty. So let me get this straight. You charged him with 16 fellonies, but he did some community service and let you keep 10 grand and you drop the charges because it’s an “alternative prosecution”? Welcome to Chicago.


Remember way back in 1988 when Rob Lowe was riding high on The Outsiders and St. Elmo’s Fire with his Brat Pack friends? And then his sex tape came out and things kind of came to a halt for a while. Rob really regrets that whole sex tape thing, but not for the reasons you think…
“That I didn’t wait to do it 20 years later when it would have helped my career.”
I know a lot of your are saying, “Wait, there’s a Rob Lowe sex tape?” Yeah. Don’t google it at work, ok?


Reese Witherspoon and Oprah are apparently besties. Which is fine. But what I find interesting is that Reese has a nickname for Oprah. She’s calls her “O”. Ok, first, you have a nickname for a person who usually only uses one name to begin with? And that name has all of two syllables? Or are you just rubbing it in that you’re buddy buddy with Oprah? We get it. You’re rich and have rich friends.


Bonus Scoopage:

Keanu Reeves was on a flight from San Francisco to L.A. on Saturday, and the plane had to land in Bakersfield because of a mechanical issue. And instead of taking off like a typical celebrity, he organized a van to take them the rest of the way. Then he entertained the other passengers during the two-hour drive by reading facts about Bakersfield, playing country music on his phone, and saying goodbye to passengers as they were dropped off.
