The Scoop for Sept. 28, 2018

There are different levels of celebrity. Even when two celebrities are a couple, that doesn’t put them on equal celebrity status. Take Pete Davidson and his fiance Ariana Grande. Pete is a highly successful cast member of Saturday Night Live, and Ariana is a huge pop star. And even Pete see the difference. Like when Ariana wanted a pig, and got one within the hour. Pete says he can’t get a prescription filled, and she gets a pig. I mean, if I could get basically whatever I wanted in an hour, I don’t know if a pig would top my list. A monkey, sure, but a pig? I don’t know.

Actor/Comedian Ricky Gervais has noticed that he’s been putting on weight again. And yes, he knows he eats and drinks too much. People tell him that if he stops, he could have 10 more years, but his point is those last 10 years are your worst years. So he just wants to eat too much, drink too much, and then die. I actually think he’s got a point.

Macaulay Culkin hit up Twitter yesterday to try and land a gig. He Tweeted at J.K. Rowling that he wanted to be in the next Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts movie.
He does have experience with magic. He used to be the Pagemaster. Remember that. It was actually pretty solid.

Quentin Tarantino is bringing in Bruce Dern to play George Spahn in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. That was the role that Burt Reynolds was going to play but was unable to shoot before he died on September 6. Dern played former Confederate general Sanford Smithers in Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. The film is a Pulp Fiction-type collection of stories in an around Los Angeles in the summer of 1969, when Charles Manson and his followers massacred Sharon Tate and others. The film will be released July 26.
