The Scoop for Sep. 24, 2019

Reboot-mania continues in Hollywood, this time, it’s Walker, Texas Ranger without Chuck Norris. I know. Crazy right? They’ve tapped Supernatural star Jared Padalecki to star was Walker. Now don’t get me wrong, I like Jared. He’s a good dude. But he’s no Chuck Norris.
I feel kind of bad for Jared. Those are big shoes to fill and I don’t see this show lasting past one season. But hey, who knows. People still watch Big Brother, so they’ll clearly watch anything.


So Oprah had a bad case of pneumonia. How bad? Well, when she saw her lung specialist, he was a bit worried.
“I see the, Oh S#@$ face”
But, he gave her antibiotics and an inhaler and she got better, and I think he was pretty glad it worked.
“He thanked me three times for getting better.”
Can you imagine, being the doc that killed Oprah?


In case you’re curious what an A-List celeb would buy on Amazon, Jennifer Lawrence unveiled her Amazon Wedding Registry today. There’s stuff for travel, outdoor entertaining, the kitchen… and some of it seems pretty reasonable.
But, I’m calling shenanigans on at least one item. Because she definitely has an Amazon Kindle on the list. Coincidence? No.
