AMY SCHUMER’S WALK IN THE PARK

This is what a walk in the park looks like today – but only if you live in New York. Amy Schumer and her husband Chris Fischer took baby Gene (who’s a dead ringer for Amy) for a walk on rather empty city streets during social isolation, to Central Park which was just as BUSY as usual! In fact, the park looks more crowded than ever, what with pedestrians and dogs dodging the scooters. Fresh air is good, but hard to come by in Manhattan, so wherever you are, consider yourselves lucky…

PARIS JACKSON’S SMALL CONCESSION

Paris Jackson, 21, who still considers herself to be black, is out and about and running errands – like many people her age, with little thought to social isolation or protection. No gloves, no problem! Paris grabs knobs and door handles with her SLEEVE. Her modeling career seems to still be happening – in January, Paris was IN Paris for Fashion Week and celebrated Jean-Paul Gaultier’s retirement. For now she’s concentrating on her music and appears in clubs with bandmates whenever she gets a chance.

LOVE IN THE TIME OF PLAGUE

Ben Affleck, 47, and Knives Out star Ana de Armas, 31, play a couple in the movie Deep Water, which they finished filming in early February, and they’ve been a couple in real life ever since. Ana brought Ben to her hometown in Cuba and took him to all her favorite places. Nobody on the movie set was surprised – they observed that Ben and Ana clicked right away. They are now socially isolating together in Los Angeles and from the looks of it, Ben has never been happier. (Above, Ana, Ben, and her little Elvis)

KESHA WILL BE ISOLATING IN STYLE

Kesha, 33, must be doing something right – she just signed on the dotted line to purchase a very comfortable new house in Mar Vista – strange timing, but maybe she got a good deal. She paid five million dollars for a modern 5,942 sq ft home with 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, plus a guest house and pool. Our favorite feature is the gigantic movie screen over the guest house/garage. Check out the entire house in the Dirt real estate section in Variety. Sweet to imagine watching movies on the patio next summer…

MANSPREADING ON THE SUBWAY IS NO LONGER A PROBLEM

Photos from the UK reveal all the busy shopping neighborhoods and sightseeing spots shut down, but we were mesmerized by this photo of the empty subway. The lack of passengers wasn’t surprising – we were amazed because this subway car is so clean and shiny and pleasant to look at. Actually inviting! New York subways NEVER looked like this- not even on the first day they opened! So I guess we have a case of subway envy…

KENDALL JENNER APPRECIATES GENUINE BEAUTY

Not ALL the Kardashians have questionable taste. Kendall Jenner is NOT in the mood to self- isolate so she picked up a few friends and they went for a ride in the hills – in her VINTAGE CADILLAC. Is there a more heavenly way to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine in Los Angeles? This delicious vehicle has fins to die for, godfather whitewalls, and certainly takes up two parking spaces. Whatever the cost – it’s more than worth it…

HERO OF THE DAY: AMANDA BYNES’ MOTHER LYNN

Being Amanda Bynes’ mother and conservator must be one of the toughest jobs in the world. The former child star’s mother Lynn has been wrestling with Amanda’s mental problems for years. It seems that every time Amanda seems to be making progress (like graduating in June from FIDM) she relapses. Certainly her mom is terrified every time Amanda drives (remember the DUIs?) On Valentines Day Amanda announced that she is engaged to Paul Michael, a guy she met at her sober living facility. Lynn intervened, the engagement was called off, and today Paul announced that they are back together and Amanda is pregnant! Chaos! NOW what’s a mother to do? The intrusive internet is not helping Amanda’s problems- she reads everything. Last we heard Amanda is back in a mental health treatment center. Lynn is doing her best…

CHLOE SEVIGNY IS SMILING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC

At least SOMEBODY looks happy during this depressing time of self isolation. In fact, Chloe Sevigny is DELIRIOUSLY happy, simply because she is 45 and pregnant and feeling fine! Her Croatian born boyfriend of over a year, Sinisa Mackovic, is not in show business – he’s director of the Karma art gallery in New York and now he has plenty of time off to spend with Chloe. They did some shopping together in the city today and don’t look at all frazzled – it seems like they avoided the supermarket craziness we’re experiencing in Hollywood. They did wear some plastic gloves.

HARVEY WEINSTEIN IS GUILTY – LET’S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT BROTHER BOB!

Harvey Weinstein’s brother Bob is making plans to get back into the movie business and many people – especially women – are wondering – how much did he really KNOW about his brother’s unspeakable behavior? LA Times staff writer Stacy Perman had a very well documented article in today’s Calendar section titled “What Did Bob Weinstein Know?” Turns out, Bob knew a LOT. Interesting that the brothers argued constantly and treated EACH OTHER badly. Also, we were surprised to read that Bob was also an abusive boss and his wife divorced him in 2012 saying she “feared bodily harm.” The main difference between the disgraced Harvey and Bob is that Bob wasn’t accused of rape – he just covered it up. Hopefully Bob will be called in to testify when Harvey goes to court in LA.

ARNOLD THE TERMINATOR ISN’T AS TOUGH AS HE LOOKS – OR SOUNDS

We are SO envious! Due to his age and the fact that Gold’s Gym is closed, Arnold Schwarzenegger is at home trying to amuse himself and stay safe. But look who he’s keeping company with! Arnold has a miniature pony named Whiskey and an adorable little donkey named Lulu that he’s cuddling in his kitchen. Visit Arnold’s Twitter page to watch the video…
