Things you need to know
1. Stephen Colbert interviews Anthony ‘The Mooch’ Scaramucci
One of the more anticipated late night interviews of the year went down on Monday night. Anthony Scaramucci, aka The Mooch, was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where he answered questions about his short time in the White House, his thoughts on Donald Trump, what he’d do with Steve Bannon and much more.
2. Phil Kessel puts hot dogs in the Stanley Cup
It was the moment that every hockey fan was waiting for, even if they didn’t realize it. Pittsburgh Penguins winger, Phil Kessel, gave the people what they wanted on Monday by putting hot dogs in the Stanley Cup. Kessel loving hot dogs has been an ongoing joke since Toronto writer, Steve Simmons, wrote that he visited a downtown hot dog stand on the daily when he played for the Maple Leafs.

3. Taylor Swift wins lawsuit against radio host
It was a big victory for Taylor Swift on Monday, but not money wise. The singer won her lawsuit against radio DJ David Mueller for a grand total of $1. Swift said she didn’t file the lawsuit for the money, but instead as an “example to other women who may resist publicly reliving similar outrageous and humiliating acts.”
Complete victory for Taylor Swift. Jury founds David Mueller assaulted and battered Taylor Swift and awarded her $1.
