The Scoop for Nov. 3, 2020

Britney Spears has been posting some rather odd things on her Instagram lately, and that has people like me, wondering if everything is ok with Brit Brit. Well, she’s seen the concern and wants you to know she’s good.
“I just want to let you guys know that I am fine. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life.”
So see? She’s fine. But seriously, some one should check on her. You know who says they are the happiest they’ve ever been? People who are miserable but are tired of people asking them if they’re ok.


On this Election Day, we get some solid advice from Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper.
“Who ever wins, you say ‘Yeah, ok.’ Whoever looses, you go, ‘Oh, well. Maybe next time.’ But, let’s respect the Presidency, whoever wins, whoever looses.”
If Alice Cooper gets it, there is zero reason for the rest of us not to get it.


Wesley Snipes is an odd dude. Super talented, sure, but an odd dude. Did you know that Wesley is a founding member of a global community called the Daywalker Klique?
And, no. They are vampires who can walk in the day, at least… I don’t think they are. But, according to Wes, it’s a, quote, “global community of multi-talented hyphenates, skill masters, adept at doing more than one thing extremely well on a mission to bring light to the world of darkness,”
I don’t know what most of that means, but ok. See. Odd dude.
* A hyphenate is a person who is active in more than one occupation or sphere. I had to look it up.
