The Scoop for Oct. 2, 2018

Shaquille O’Neal has a new business and he wants you to watch him start it…
Yep. Shaq is opening the Big Chicken Shaq in Vegas. And you can follow along on Facebook Watch. Here’s the deal: If the chicken is Shaq sized chicken, I’m in.

Yesterday President Trump was being pretty honest about his best traits… he doesn’t drink. Never has. So if we are to believe the President, and I have no reason not to on this point, everything he’s done as President and before, he’s done without one drop of alcohol in his system. I’m just going to leave that there.

Remember when NBA star Kyrie Irving said that the earth is flat? Yeah, about that… He’s sorry. See back then he was really into conspiracy theories, and well, got a bit caught up in the flat earth rabbit hole. Proving once again, just becuase you’re famous, doesn’t make you right. Just sayin’.

Bonus Scoopage:
Vin Diesel may have just accidentally announced a Fast and Furious female spin-off. He was engaging in some Instagram hype for his next project, Bloodshot, when he not-so-casually dropped a hint regarding the potential spin-off before quickly changing the subject. I’d be 100% ok with that. I mean, honestly, I haven’t watche a reular F&F movie, so I’m just as likely to watch that one.
