The Scoop for Oct. 12, 2018

If you didn’t know who Kanye West was before, after his meeting with President Trump yesterday, you do now. In his meeting yesterday, Kim Kardashian’s husband said a lot of things. Including doublig down on wanting the 13th Amendment abolished. That’s the one that outlawed slavery. His reasons? Because he thinks, quote, “I think the way the Universe works is perfect. We don’t have 13th floors do we?” Yeah. We don’t use the number 13 in high rises becasue the Universe. I’m just hoping after this meeting the Presidents sees the need to invest more time and money into mental health.

Speaking of the President, if you saw coverage of John McCain’s funeral, you may have noticed George W. Bush giving Michelle Obama a piece of candy during the service. Turns out that’s not exactly what happened. He handed her a cough drop. And she points out that they were old cough drops. How old? Well, they were in a White House tin. I mean, GW hasn’t been President for 9 years. I guess she should be thankfull he wasn’t handing out Werthers Originals. That’s Grandma candy right?

Ozzy Osbourne has some bad news for fans.  He’s canceled the rest of his North American tour because of that infection in his hand. I guess an infection could explain the rambling.

Bonus Scoopage:
The third season of HBO’s True Detective finally has a premiere date. The new season will debut on January 13, with the season consisting of eight episodes. The new season tells the story of a macabre crime in the heart of the Ozarks, and a mystery that deepens over decades and plays out in three separate time periods. Mahershala Ali stars as Wayne Hays, a state police detective from Northwest Arkansas. I have to be honest. I loved season one, didn’t watch season two, but I’m willing to give season three a go.
