Here's the Scoop...

Don't worry, folks! 'The Office' isn't leaving Netflix just yet. 'The Office' will indeed stream exclusively on NBCUniversal service starting in 2021

The U.S. version of The Office will only be available on a new NBCUniversal streaming service as of 2021.

"The Office has become a staple of pop-culture and is a rare gem whose relevance continues to grow at a time when fans have more entertainment choices than ever before," Bonnie Hammer, chairman of NBCUniversal's direct-to-consumer and digital enterprises, said in a statement. "We can't wait to welcome the gang from Dunder Mifflin to NBCUniversal's new streaming service."

Starring Steve Carell, John Kraskinski, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson and Mindy Kaling, the Pennsylvania-set, workplace comedy originally aired on NBC 2005-2013. The mockumentary-style show is based on the similarly named, U.K. sitcom created by and starring Ricky Gervais.

"We're sad that NBC has decided to take The Office back for its own streaming platform -- but members can binge watch the show to their hearts' content ad-free on Netflix until January 2021," Netflix tweeted.

I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news, but it's certainly better than discovering your stapler in Jello, again.

Be Well,
Steve

Tom Holland says he accidentally ghosted Robert Downey Jr.

Spider-Man star Tom Holland told Seth Meyers on Late Night he accidentally declined a FaceTime call from Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr.

Holland explained Tuesday how his intention wasn't to ghost his Avengers co-star but that he ignored the call due to receiving it late at night while in London.

"I woke up and panicked. I was like 'Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to ghost you,'" Holland said about what he texted Downey -- who is named The Godfather-- inside his phone.

"He obviously didn't reply for ages because of the time difference in L.A.," Holland continued about the ordeal. "So that was maybe the most stressful day of my life where I thought my relationship with Downey was over."

Holland also recounted how he was recognized by a fan while attempting to help a fellow passenger on a flight to Hawaii.

The actor said he helped a woman who had fainted near him when a passenger recognized him due to watching Spider-Man: Homecoming on the plane.

"She must have thought 'Wow this kid just never stops!'" Holland joked about the passengers reaction.

Holland will be seen as Spider-Man once again in Spider-Man: Far From Home, which arrives in theaters on July 2.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife, Beth Chapman, dies at 51

Beth Chapman, a bounty hunter and television personality who starred with her husband, Duane "Dog" Chapman, on the A&E series Dog the Bounty Hunter, has died at age 51.

TMZ said Beth died Wednesday at a hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Duane, 66, confirmed the news in a tweet Wednesday morning.

"It's 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven," he wrote. "We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side."

Duane had asked for prayers Saturday after Beth was placed in a medically induced coma. Beth announced in 2017 she was battling throat cancer, and the disease later spread despite several surgeries.

Duane and Beth were together more than 30 years and celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary in May. The pair co-starred on Dog the Bounty Hunter from 2003 to 2012 and were working on a new WGN America series, Dog's Most Wanted.

LOOSE LIPS:

"I feel like he is the person I was meant to be with. I had dated guys and kind of knew, like, 'No.' Nothing was ever really wrong, but nothing was really right either. With him, it was like a good partnership. It was an easy relationship to be in."
--Carrie Underwood, opening up about her marriage to husband Mike Fisher, to PEOPLE
