WHAT IN THE WORLD IS MRS MAISEL DOING WITH JOHN WATERS?

Rachel Brosnahan’s character Midge has made a lot of progress since The Marvelous Mrs Maisel started tentatively filming season 4 with STRICT Covid rules back in January. Note the clear bubble umbrella in the top photo with it’s own oxygen source on top!
(they took excellent care of their leading lady) Shooting has off and on continued in New York, and this week shows how much progress has been made. Midge is being filmed seated on a park bench (note the vintage coke) and she’s quite close to the two other actors – including John Waters far right! Can’t WAIT to see who Waters plays on the series!

Antibodies Covid-19 Rita Wilson Tom Hanks

RITA WILSON: BAD NEWS FOR US, GOOD NEWS FOR PFIZER

Rita Wilson and Ellen Degeneres chatted about Covid-19 on Ellen today and Rita revealed a pertinent piece of information. Rita and hubby Tom Hanks were the first celebrities diagnosed with Covid, and they announced it on March 12, 2020, from Australia where they remained in isolation for two weeks. Rita told Ellen that 9 months after her recovery she still had antibodies. BUT, two months later, Rita was tested again and had NONE! Presumably she can now catch Covid again, and needs vaccine like everyone else. This of course implies that we will probably all have to be vaccinated for Covid EVERY YEAR just like we get flu shots! Good news for the drug manufacturers…

Covid-19 Dave Chappelle Texas

DAVE CHAPPELLE SURPRISED BY QUARANTINE IN TEXAS

What’s going on in Austin, Texas? They seem to have very little fear or respect for Covid 19, because nightlife continues to thrive. Dave Chappelle, who was so successful on Saturday Night Live recently, started a series of shows there but he only got thru the first. Then he was diagnosed with Covid. (Everyone in the front row at the first show must be taking their temperatures right now.) Dave will be in Austin’s version of quarantine for however long it takes to return to the stage.

Covid-19 Hollywood Boulevard

ANOTHER REASON TO GET THAT COVID VACCINE SHOT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Never thought we’d live to see the day when Hollywood Boulevard is deserted. Last year at this time it was alive with shoppers, skateboarders, giddy tourists, and nightclub kids. Not to mention the people dressed up like Batman, Superman, Cher, or Johnny Depp the pirate, eager to pose for a photo with you. Traffic was always in gridlock thanks to tourist busses, cruising lowriders, and sightseers. Now Hollywood Blvd looks like the aftermath of chemical warfare. Shops and restaurants that survived demonstrations and looting, were ordered closed by the government during Covid and boarded up. Hopefully this memorable street will return better than ever – and so will we.

PARIS HILTON HAS GROWN UP!

There is nothing Paris Hilton loves more than a huge loud party, loaded with her friends and assorted handsome strangers. Anytime there’s a holiday, Paris is ready to dress up and party non-stop. Paris’s LA home is always lavishly decorated with millions of sparkling lights inside and out, for Christmas. This year she posted clips on social media from her fabulous parties in the past, featuring her friends and celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Diddy. She wrote “Every year I throw an epic Christmas party at my house – I’m sad that I can’t this year – here’s hoping for 2021! A few days ago Diddy threw a festive party for his mother’s 80th birthday and seemed to ignore all Covid recommendations – including masks and social distancing. Was Paris shading his bad behavior? It IS nice to see Paris showing some common sense.

COURTENEY COX JUST COULDN’T WAIT

For the past nine months Courteney Cox has been separated from her Irish musician boyfriend Johnny McDaid, thanks to Covid. Johnny returned home from California one day before lockdown and has been there ever since. On December 11 a video appeared on Twitter featuring Courteney and Johnny and she seems to be in the UK with him. The purpose of the video was to thank frontline workers in Johnny’s home town in Ireland. The first thing that comes to mind is: after staying safe for so long, should she have flown to see him? Are we wrong in thinking this is a bad idea?

Covid-19 David Miscavige Mission Impossible Scientology Tirade Tom Cruise

TOM CRUISE RANT WAS SCIENTOLOGY INSPIRED

Former Scientologists were shocked to hear Tom Cruise’s dramatic setside Mission Impossible tirade because they say he sounded JUST LIKE (Scientology leader) David Miscavige! One revealed that the rant “was pure church-speak” and closely resembled Miscavige’s abusive tirades. It was as if Cruise was on a “power high” – like a general drilling his army. Former Scientologists agree: this is typical behavior for the higher-ups in the “church.” Classic Scientology mind-control: listen and comply. It had less to do with Covid than showing off his own tyrannical power. Coincidentally or not, the mission of Scientology is believed to be more important than the individuals in it. Public humiliation, threats, and expletives from a person in power is not the sensible way to get people to cooperate and it shows a lack of compassion. But Scientology leaders disagree.

Anti-vax Chloe Lattanzi Cosmetic Surgery Covid-19 Olivia Newton John

CHLOE LATTANZI: HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO COSMETIC SURGERY

We just HAD to laugh when we heard that Olivia Newton John’s attention-seeking daughter Chloe Lattanzi is opposed to vaccines and science based medicine. She prefers “natural” medicines. In her social media posts, she also supports conspiracy theories about the Covid pandemic. Australian fans of Olivia were appalled and made fun of Chloe, saying “She doesn’t trust doctors- but she spent $550.000 on plastic surgery! Chloe has showbiz aspirations and she had numerous surgeries on her nose, lips, and breast augmentation among other things. Chloe, 34, is now running a cannabis farm in Oregon with her boyfriend. She was SO attacked online for her medical opinions that she removed her comments.

Coco Arquette Courteney Cox Covid-19

COURTENEY COX HAD A CLOSE CALL WITH COVID

At least we know that Courteney Cox has been hunkering down during the pandemic at a magnificent (probably mid-century or modern) house in Malibu. She has a knack for buying gorgeous architectural homes that need updating, re-doing them, and selling them for a hefty profit. Early on during the pandemic, Cox and her daughter Coco invited a couple of friends to isolate with them, and after testing negative, the friends moved in. Two days later one of the guests came down with Covid and ended up deathly ill on a ventilator. The other isolated in the guest house and Courteney brought him food every day. Luckily Courteney and Coco didn’t get sick – but it was quite a scare.

""The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud" Covid-19 Mask Sharon Stone Sister

SHARON STONE IS WORRIED SICK ABOUT HER SISTER KELLY HOSPITALIZED WITH COVID-19

It’s nice to see celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Sharon Stone pleading with fans to wear masks and commit to social distancing. Jennifer had a friend hospitalized with Covid-9 and Sharon Stone’s younger sister Kelly, who also has lupus, is in the hospital and gasping for breath. Sharon says “One of you non-mask wearers did this.” (Kelly’s husband is also in the hospital with Covid-19) Worried Sharon is dead serious when she warns fans to “wear a mask for yourself and others!”
