The Scoop for May 21, 2020

The Governor of Mississippi, Tate Reeves, got pranked during a Facebook Live graduation ceremony. He was reading the names of graduating seniors, and didn’t notice anything odd about this name here.
“Harry Azcrac”
And thanks to whoever nominated that kid, Seymore Butts and Amanda Huggenkiss didn’t get their names read during the ceremony.

Here’s a thing I learned today. Mister Rogers once sued Ice Cube. Really. Mr. Rogers was upset that Ice used part of It’s A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood at the begining of the song “A Gangsta’s Fairytale.” And apparently it worked.
Mister Rogers was even collecting royalties until they removed the sample.
Mr. Rogers getting his street cred and makin’ bank off of Ice. Nice.


Keith Urban revealed that his wife Nicole Kidman had a bit of an accident during their self quarantine.
She broke her ankle.
So how does one break their ankle during a quarantine?
According to Keith, she was, quote, “…running around the neighborhood.”
Wait. Do you mean, like running for excersize in your neighborhood? Or did she go stir crazy and just take off running through the neighborhood just to be somewhere else other than kitchen, family room or bedroom? Because I can see both of those as real possibilities.
