THE UPSIDE OF COVID

At any other time in history have two Oscar winning movie stars been able to walk the streets of New York TOGETHER totally unnoticed and unbothered by fans? Not on our watch! Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange took a long and chatty walk through the city without incident. (You last saw them together as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in Ryan Murphy’s Feud) The Covid mask has changed everything for celebrities – suddenly all humans are equal. Famous people can now go to places like Target or take a walk in the park and no one pays attention. There are more movie stars in supermarkets in California than have ever been seen before. They are walking their dogs and riding bikes and checking out farmer’s markets happily undercover. Celebrities might be wearing masks longer than the rest of us…

SELMA BLAIR AND HER TWO MASKED BOYFRIENDS

Selma Blair is amazing in more ways than one. She managed to switch boyfriends in the middle of a pandemic AND a health crisis! Two years ago, Selma was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and her boyfriend at that time was Australian actor David Lyons. He was very supportive during her chemotherapy when she lost her hair, and sweet and helpful when she had trouble walking. In December, Selma started wearing a diamond ring and everyone assumed she was engaged to David. In March, she was seen arm in arm with a guy and both were wearing masks – it was assumed that the guy was David, and several websites and magazines identified him as such. But in fact, it turned out Selma and David had split, and she had gone back to a former boyfriend, actor/producer Ron Carlson. (David and Ron DO kinda look alike) Selma and Ron have been a happy couple ever since!

IS NO-MASK KANYE WEST SENDING A MESSAGE TO DONALD TRUMP?

Kanye West looked relaxed and happy when he had lunch at Nobu with male friends this weekend and the outing was significant for two reasons. First of all, he was the ONLY person NOT wearing a mask. His friends were all masked. Was Kanye trying to appear macho, or sending a message to his pal Donald Trump? If so, what would that message BE? Also interesting is the fact that Kanye has not been seen at this restaurant with his family lately, although it is a favorite of theirs. Does his family agree with his no-mask policy?

KALEY COUCO: ATTACKED FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING

Little did Kaley Cuoco suspect when she posted a video of herself working out with a mask, that she’d be met by a firestorm of criticism! The Big Bang Theory star innocently captioned her Instagram video “My newest obsession: 20 minutes, a jump rope, and good music” She appears to be jumping in a hotel or private gym. She was immediately bombarded with criticism and sarcasm – people told her working out with a mask was bad for her health (it’s NOT) that she was setting a bad example for kids, etc! She was shocked, but calmly responded “I wear a mask when I’m in an enclosed space around others, and when I’m outside around others – I’m protecting myself and everyone around me.”

NEXT BIG THING: CELEBRITY SMILE MASKS

We actually expected this Covid-19 development to happen sooner. Leave it to the style capital of the world- Japan- to be first with smile masks. According to OMG, it started with the Japanese discount store Takeya – the store wanted sales clerks to appear more “friendly,” so they had smile masked printed up and handed out to each staffer. Now they are all happy, all day. The next logical development in this custom masking idea is headed toward celebrity masks – soon YOU can have the smile or sneer of let’s say, Tom Hardy, or perhaps Julia Roberts. It might be a little confusing for paparazzi…but fun for flirting in the supermarket.

PICTURE ALEXIS CARRINGTON SHOPPING AT IKEA

Can you imagine Dynasty star Joan Collins eating Ikea’s Swedish meatballs? When she posted this photo on Instagram, Joan confessed that she had been scolded by a security guard when when was reading the menu at an Ikea restaurant in France. She was wearing a plastic face shield instead of a mask and was told that a mask was essential. She was obviously miffed, but pulled on a mask under the shield. We are totally amused at the idea of Joan Collins eating in the discount cafeteria at Ikea! Currently, the still playful Joan (who is now an unbelievable 87) is stylishly isolating with her 55 year old husband Percy in St Tropez.

WE ALMOST DIDN’T RECOGNIZE KATIE HOLMES

Apparently the seemingly endless social isolation we are suffering due to the pandemic is really GETTING TO Katie Holmes! Has she GIVEN UP on putting on a cute outfit and going out? It’s a fact that fashion standards are going into the dumpster since celebrities can hide behind masks and walk the streets unrecognized. Katie Holmes usually exits her Soho apartment with swinging hair and a snappy outfit. Today she looks like she doesn’t care. Her drab unflattering skirt and sweatshirt just scream “I give up!” And she’s not the only one…

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!”

ALYSSA MILANO APPEALED TO OUR VANITY TO BATTLE THE VIRUS

Thank you Alyssa Milano! AT LAST we have a POWERFUL motivation to avoid Covid-19 by wearing a mask and social distancing! It’s all about VANITY. And SOME people really needed this nudge. Hopefully, all those people who resist taking precautions will now be scared stiff because Alyssa Milano pointed out that the virus can make hair fall out! And NOBODY wants less hair. (Are you listening, Donald Trump?) Those macho guys on motorcycles without masks will now think twice about what life would be like without their ponytails and man buns. And those unmasked women with fake doctor’s excuses might not be so pushy when they learn HAIR LOSS is a real possibility!

DON’T LET JENNIFER ANISTON AND COURTENEY COX CATCH YOU WITHOUT A MASK!

Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are in total agreement about dogs and masks. They both adore their dogs (these pooches are Courtney’s) and urge everyone to wear masks. Earlier, they posted a photo of a previously healthy friend named Kevin in the hospital with dozens of tubes attached to his body, suffering with Covid-19 as a warning. The Friends stars insist “We want this to END –so wear a MASK!”
