The Scoop for Oct. 16, 2019

Everybody is looking to get their little slice of internet attention. I get it. This guy figured out a way to make his 15 minutes a little more dynamic. Blair was on Wheel of Fortune, which most people would think, cool, you’re on TV. But he took that opportunity to really make a name for himself, because during the obligatory introductions, Blair took the path less chosen.

I hope the six grand he won is enough to keep calm his wife down after that one.


When we were kids, birthdays were awesome. But as we get older, well, we tend to not pay as much attention. But not Tyler Perry. Nope he celebrates his birthday, not once but twice. Is it becuase he’s accepted his aging gracefully? No.
He doesn’t know his birthdate. His mom says it’s October 14th but his birth certificate says the 13th.
I mean, on the one hand two cakes, on the other hand… who am I kidding, it doesn’t matter what’s in the other hand, you’ve got two cakes.


Back in the day, Elton John was hanging out with Stevie Wonder, and Elton let Stevie go out on a snowmobile, by himself. Yes, that Stevie Wonder. Blind Stevie Wonder. So why would Elton let Stevie do that?
He wanted to.
But what were you thinking when he did it?
“That’s another rival gone.”
Elton John is vicious. I mean, just straight up vicious. Funny, but vicious.
