Here's the Scoop...
Apparently, Dwayne Johnson has a beef with his 'Fast 8' co-star Vin Diesel for being unprofessional on set during the sequel's production. The pair have reportedly sat down to discuss their differences while on the film's Atlanta set. Whether or not things have been ironed out I'm not sure.
I couldn't care less about the 'Fast & Furious' film franchise, but I would pay money to see these two sit down and hold a conversation about their concerns and frustrations over the film's production and whatnot. Now, that's a movie!
It'll be 'My Dinner with Andre' meets 'Fast & Furious'. It'll be called 'My Fast Food with Vin'!
Be Well,
Steve

Christie Brinkley, John Mellencamp split after one year of dating
Christie Brinkley and John Mellencamp have called it quits after one year of dating.
"Both the mileage between their homes and their heavy career demands interfered with their ability to maintain the relationship," a rep for the pair confirmed to Entertainment Tonight.
"They vowed to remain best of friends."
Brinkley, 62, and Mellencamp, 64 were first linked together in September of 2015 after they were spotted on a date together at the Bowery Hotel in New York City.
While discussing her romance with the musician on The Wendy Williams Show in November, Brinkley mentioned, "I'm just having fun and, you know. we'll see."
"We're dating and you know, having a good time. You've been subjected to my private life enough so I'm just trying to keep my private life private," she continued about the media coverage that has followed her dating life.
The supermodel's previous relationship with fourth husband Peter Cook ended in divorce in October of 2008 while Mellencamp and actress Meg Ryan ended their on-again, off-again relationship in 2015.
Tom Hiddleston joins Instagram, posts photo as Loki
Tom Hiddleston is the latest celebrity to join Instagram.
The 35-year-old English actor debuted on the photo-sharing site Tuesday morning and has since gained a respectable 286,000 followers.
Hiddleston shared a picture of himself from the Thor: Ragnarok set as his first post, writing, "He's back!" The snapshot shows the actor in costume as Loki, the adoptive brother of Thor (Chris Hemsworth).
Hiddleston first played Loki in the 2011 movie Thor and has since portrayed the character in The Avengers and Thor: The Dark World. Thor: Ragnarok is slated to open in theaters Nov. 3, 2017.
"I think the experience being in the Avengers has changed Thor as a character," the actor said of the sequel to Deadline in July. "He's picked up a few Earthly ways and certainly a few Earthly companions."
"Also, the experience of being on Earth, I think, has changed Loki," he added before teasing, "When you see the three characters who haven't shared the same space since the end of The Avengers there's a lot that happens to great dramatic and comedic effects."
Thor: Ragnarok is directed by New Zealand director Taika Waititi and co-stars Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, Cate Blanchett and Tessa Thompson. Hiddleston has yet to follow anyone on Instagram, including girlfriend Taylor Swift.
LOOSE LIPS:
"It is so messy. I've done kissing scenes where I have lipstick on and that's a nightmare but to have two of you having the lipstick on, it's terror."
