Here's the Scoop...

Jerry Seinfeld's 'Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee' is set to return this summer.

Season 8 will premiere on Crackle on June 16.

The show, for those that don't know, involves Seinfeld picking up and interviewing fellow comedians and actors in a variety of exotic cars to then grab a cup of coffee.

The new season will feature notable guest stars John Oliver, Margaret Cho, Jim Gaffigan, Judd Apatow, and JB Smoove, according to Entertainment Weekly.

I like this show. It's very funny and incredibly insightful. Give it a look if you like Seinfeld or standup comedy.

Be Well,
Steve

Brie Larson in talks to portray Captain Marvel
Brie Larson has become the frontrunner to portray super heroine Captain Marvel in a upcoming film from Disney and Marvel.

First reported by Variety, the Room star is said to be the studio's first choice for the role with Larson in early negotiations to sign on.

A standalone film starring the character, which would be Marvel's first female-led project, is scheduled for release on March 8, 2019. Currently no director has been chosen to handle a script by Guardians of the Galaxy co-writer Nicole Perlman and Inside Out co-writer Meg LaFauve. Marvel gatekeeper Kevin Feige is producing.

Marvel wants to cast someone soon for Captain Marvel as it may plan to introduce the character early before her solo outing as they did with Tom Holland's Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War.

Larson would portray the Carol Danvers version of Captain Marvel, the sixth Marvel hero to bear the name, who first debuted in 1968. Danvers, an air force pilot, is gifted with super strength and flight after her DNA is fused with an alien being. Recently, Danvers has become a staple of the Marvel comic book universe.

Larson, who won the Oscar for Best Actress in February, will next be seen in Kong: Skull Island.



LOOSE LIPS:
"I was so unusually shy, bordering on a social disorder. So my mum - one day she drives me to this community acting class. I was holding on to the car door and crying. She had to peel me off the car. She's like, 'I'll pick you up in two hours,' And she left me."
--Rebel Wilson, on overcoming shyness, in the July issue of Marie Claire

Arnold Schwarzenegger chased by a elephant while on safari
Action movie star and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was charged by an elephant in South Africa this week.

Schwarzenegger posted the video on social media Tuesday and joked about the experience on Twitter saying it required some in his group to "change our pants."

The video show a very curious elephant approaching the safari vehicle Schwarzenegger is in, then turns, walks to circle the vehicle.

"Is he backing up because of the engine?" a woman asked.

"No, he's going to charge us," Schwarzenegger said.

As the vehicle begins to pull away, the elephant briefly chases behind.

"I couldn't have written this safari encounter better if it was a movie," Schwarzenegger wrote on Twitter. "I'm absolutely in awe of these beautiful, strong animals, even though some of us had to change our pants after this."

Schwarzenegger, urged people to stop hunting the animals, saying "take a photo, not a shot."

"Would you rather be able to experience these creatures or a hunk of ivory?" he wrote. "I thought so."

Schwarzenegger has been documenting his trip to South Africa for his Arnold Classic Africa, a multi-sport festival in Johannesburg.

On social media, he's also posted photos of himself petting a lion, playing chess with a little girl in pigtails and also a portrait of the late Nelson Mandela with the caption, "It was an honor to visit the home of one of my heroes today." he wrote. "We should all strive to emulate the grace Mandela showed in his commitment to public service."
