Here's the Scoop...

I don't know what to make of this, but it gave me a chuckle so I thought that I'd share it.

Caitlyn Jenner says her memoir is "honest" despite ex-spouse Kris Jenner slamming the book.

The 67-year-old reality star reacted Monday on Good Morning America to Kris claiming on Sunday's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that her memoir is "made up."

"First of all, I feel like the book is extraordinarily honest and it is my perspective," Caitlyn told host Michael Strahan. "And obviously when you do a book like that there's different opinions. I have a lot of friends that know the truth and know what I've been through. Hey, it's a reality show. It is drama."

"I'm just kind of sorry she went down that road, but she's a good person," she added. "We've had 23 great years together and raised wonderful, phenomenal kids."

Caitlyn and Kris split in 2013 after 22 years of marriage, and finalized their divorce in 2015 prior to Caitlyn publicly coming out as transgender. Kris took issue with her portrayal in Caitlyn's book, The Secrets of My Life, and Caitlyn's claim she "knew" all along about the star's sexuality.

"Everything she says is all made up," Kris told daughters Kim and Khloe Kardashian on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. "I've never been so angry and disappointed in somebody in my whole life. I'm done."

Caitlyn said in a new 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer that aired Friday that she and Kris are "fine" and have both "moved on." Sources told Us Weekly this month that Kris and the Kardashians are "upset" about the memoir because Caitlyn "didn't speak to them first."

I don't know if I trust Caitlyn. She did say that they "raised wonderful, phenomenal kids." That's highly debatable at best!

Be Well,
Steve

Jennifer Lopez says Alex Rodriguez romance started at lunch
Jennifer Lopez is sharing details about her early romance with Alex Rodriguez.

The 47-year-old singer recalled how she met the 41-year-old retired MLB star at a restaurant in Los Angeles during an interview Monday with The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

"It's very simple. I was having lunch somewhere and he passed by," Lopez told DeGeneres. "I saw him walk by, and then afterwards, I went outside. For some reason, I just felt like tapping him on the shoulder and saying hi."

"I said, 'Hi, Alex!' and he was like, 'Hi, Jennifer!' and that was it. I mean, more stuff happened, but that's how we met," she said before confirming Rodriguez already had her phone number from a previous conversation.

"He texted me and said, 'Let's go out to dinner,'" the star added. "I don't remember what we had for dinner, but we had a nice dinner. No [sleepover]. Mama don't sleep over on the first date."

Lopez and Rodriguez were first linked in March and confirmed their romance the same month. The former New York Yankees shortstop had nothing but praise for Lopez on the March 31 episode of The View.

"It's obvious [we're dating]," he said. "We're having a great time. She's an amazing, amazing girl. One of the smartest human beings I've ever met and also an incredible mother."

Lopez is mom to twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Rodriguez shares daughters Natasha and Ella with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis. The singer shared a photo of Emme and Natasha bonding last week.

LOL Well by now you know that I'm not 'missing.' just a little under the weather. I'm sure I will be feeling good and back home in a couple of days."
