The Scoop for Nov. 21, 2019

There are different levels of celebrity. There’s David Spade level of celebrity… he has his own show, you’ve seen a few of his movies, maybe, and you’d probably maybe recognize him in public. Then there’s Kim Kardashian level celebrity. Sure, some celebs have an assistant touch up their makeup before they go out, but with double K?
Sometmes she gets her makeup done while sitting on the toilet.
Now that’s celebrity.


Speaking of David Spade level of celebrity. Remember that movie, “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star”? Yeah David wrote and starred in it, but he almost wasn’t in it. Why? Because they were going to pay him to leave the project and replace him with Jim Carey. I’m guessing Jim Carey turned it down. See? David Spade level of celebrity.


So as part of their latest farewell tour, KISS played on the ocean in Australia for sharks.
The only problem was… no sharks showed up. Also, they weren’t underwater. I guess their makeup would run? Anyway, the 8 people who got to actually see the show seemed to like it.
