Celebrity Nooz - January 6, 2016
Here's the Scoop...
Yesterday I mentioned that American Idol was still on the air and will be back for its upcoming 15th and final season. That doesn't interest me in the least. What does interest me is that season 11 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia starts tonight. That's right, TONIGHT!
Are you as excited as I am to see the level of degrading shenanigans the gang at Paddy's Pub will lower themselves to in the new season? Well then, I'll see you there.
Be Well,
Steve

Donald Trump calls out Samuel L. Jackson after golf comments
Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has called actor Samuel L. Jackson "boring" after comments he made about his golfing ability.
In a recent article of United Airlines Hemisphere magazine, Jackson was asked about his relationship with Trump and whether or not the pair would be considered golf buddies.
"I would never say buddies or friends," Jackson said before mentioning how he doesn't have a feel for the real estate mogul despite playing golf with him." I don't know what the Don's up to. Interesting character. More P.T. Barnum than politician. I don't think he believes half the things he says."
When asked who was the better golfer, The Hateful Eight star picked himself. "Oh, I am, for sure. I don't cheat."
Trump then took to Twitter to defend himself denying that the two ever shared a golf course together. "I don't know Samuel L. Jackson, to best of my knowledge haven't played golf with him, and think he does too many TV commercials - boring," Trump tweeted Tuesday. "Not a fan."
According to Jackson however, he was even made a member of Trump's golfing club without his knowledge.
"Last week or so, I actually got a bill from Trump National Golf Club," Jackson told the magazine. "And I haven't been there in four or five years, so I had my assistant call. They said it was for membership dues. And I said, 'I'm not a member,' and they said, 'Yeah, you are - you have a member number.' Apparently he'd made me a member of one of his golf clubs, and I didn't even know it!"
LOOSE LIPS:
"She's a mystery to me. I genuinely want to know what she thinks. I want to know what she's doing, and there's a lot about her that I still don't know. I married up!"
--Harry Connick Jr., who says he's still learning about wife Jill after 25 years together, to PEOPLE
