The Scoop for May29, 2019

Being a celebrity comes with a pile of cool perks, like assitants to do stuff for you. But one thing that Britney Spears still likes to do is post her social media. Don’t believe her?

So there.


Back in the day, being on the Johnny Carson show was a huge deal for comedians. So when Ellen DeGeneres debuted, it was obvously very memorable. But one of those memories had nothing to do with her actual appearance on the show. She parked her car in front of a store, but forgot to put the emergency brake on and it rolled down the hill into the middle of the intersection. That’s a heck of a way to make a first impression.


So apparently Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, checked himself into a rehab facility before the final episode of his show.
Ok. Technically he is in a “wellness facility” for treatment of stress and alcohol abuse. Rehab, wellness facility, five star vacation. Whatever you call it, just get better Kit. I would think the writers would need time in a facility after that final episode, but that’s just what I heard on the internet.
