The Scoop for May 14, 2020

Matthew McConaughey would really like it if we could stop politicizing the coronavirus.
When Matthew McConaughey starts making sense, you know things have gotten weird out there.


I get that Hollywood is the real life Land Of Make Believe, but Matt Damon reminds us, that sometimes they’re pretty spot on.
Matt says that if you saw his movie “Contagion”, you can’t say no one could’ve predicted the pandemic.
That’s twice in one day now, where Hollywood is making sense.


Kristen Bell told the story about how her husband Dax Shepard hurt himeslef while off roading, and it’s pretty gnarly.
He crushed all the bones in his hands.
But then, one of the pins in his hand started to eject itself, so he pulled it out. And wanting to remember the moment, Kristen did what I think any good partner would do.
She pliered it into the shape of a heart and turned it into a Christmas ornament.
That, and the scars, are truly the gift that keeps on giving.


Bonus Scoopage:
Here’s a Throwback Thursday clip, when Meredith Vieira was hosting “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”.
