The Scoop for Oct. 19, 2018

Hey look! Some good news from Hollywood. As you may know, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been battling breast cancer, but she has an update. She is currently cancer free. Yep. When it comes to the fight between her and cancer, she won. I told you it was good news.

For some reason, Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to take a break from pumping iron to pump up LeBron James. Arnie said that LeBron was the only one who could, quote, “Make the Lakers Great Again.”
Two minutes after posting that video, President Trump sued him for copywrite infringement. “That’s my line. Making things great again.”

We got to see the softer side of John Stamos yesterday when he got a bit misty because of his son. John said he was crying because he missed his son. John clearly knows being a dad is great. As a matter of fact he and his wife are tyring for a second kid, but there is a bit of an issue there. His son. Apparently little Billy is a bit of a blocker. Oh, sure John, you miss him when you’re gone, but when you’re trying to get busy he cramps your style. Welcome to being parent, John.

Bonus Scoopage:
Fox is developing a comedy series inspired by the Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott. The series is titled It Takes Two, based on the Scott brothers’ memoir of the same name. The show follows two entrepreneurial twin brothers who decide to join forces in the real estate business when they realize they are stronger together than apart. While I enjoy the Property Brothers, this sounds just awful. I give it one season at best.
