The Scoop for Oct. 29, 2019

WWE Superstar and actor John Cena found an interesting way to promote his new movie.
He’s donating $500,000 to California first responders.
And no, I’m not throwing shade at John Cena. Is he promoting a movie? Of course. But at least this way he’s actually helping a good cause. Good for you. I mean, I’m still probably not going to see the movie, but good for you John.


In case your’e keeping tabs, there’s still no “Friends” reboot, but Jennifer Anniston says the cast might work together again on something.
“We would love for there to be SOMETHING, but we don’t know what that something is. So . . . we’re working on . . . something.””
Well, that cleared up absolutely nothing. Thanks Jen.


Back in ’92, Arnold Schwarzenegger was up for a role in “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.” But…
“I read the script and it was a piece of $&*#”
But when his good buddy Sylvester Stallone called and asked if he’d seen the script, Arny told him yeah and he was thinking of doing it. And as you know, Sly ended up doing the movie, and well…
“The movie went major into the toilet.”
Petty? Yes. Funny? Absolutley. Arnold Schwarzenegger, practical joker.
