Ever since March, television and film production has been shut down in California because of COVID-19. However, today Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Public Health Office announced that they can resume filming as of June 12th.
Guidance for Music, Film and Television Production
Music, TV and film production may resume in California, recommended no sooner than June 12, 2020 and subject to approval by county public health officers within the jurisdictions of operations following their review of local epidemiological data including cases per 100,000 population, rate of test positivity, and local preparedness to support a health care surge, vulnerable populations, contact tracing and testing. To reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, productions, cast, crew and other industry workers should abide by safety protocols agreed by labor and management, which may be further enhanced by county public health officers. Back office staff and management should adhere to Office Workspace guidelines (PDF) published by the California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Industrial Relations, to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission
No word yet who will go back into production first, but I am assuming it will be the three Soap Operas. Then it will be competition shows like America’s Got Talent and The Masked Singer. After that, I have no idea.
Personally, I don’t care as long as they get back to work. I live walking distance to two studios and I am looking forward to hearing the hustle and bustle again. It has been so quiet and I never thought I would miss noise. But I do. And it is all about me and my needs for noise and new enetertianment content.
We have all been impacted financially by the coronavirus pandemic, and need whatever money we can get back. However, the concert promoters are holding on to our dinero until musicians cancel their tours. If the bands reschedule, then you don’t get your hard-earned cash back. Tool wants you to know they heard your stories, and yesterday they made a huge announcement.
“As so many music lovers have come to realize over the last several weeks, there is no playbook that artists, promoters and venues can pull from in these unprecedented times.
When we played what would be our final show of 2020, March 11 at Portland’s Moda Center, we believed we would be back on the road sometime this Fall. As we worked towards that goal we’ve come to realize that there is absolutely no certainty in re-scheduling dates for this Fall or 2021. State and local ordinances vary widely and no one can predict when high capacity events will safely return.
At the same time that we were working to reschedule this tour, we read your messages. Messages of job losses, illness, emotional and financial pain. We could continue to postpone or reschedule dates for some time into 2021 but ethically, we do not think this is the right course of action. In our opinion, tying up our fans’ money for months, if not a full year, is unfair. With that in mind, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel the tour so we can help support the people who have supported us for years.
Please know, we want nothing more than to return to the road, to play these songs for you and to celebrate our shared recovery. When the time is right, we will do just that.
In the coming days you will receive an email from the ticketing service you purchased tickets through notifying you of the event cancellation and when to expect your refund.” – TOOL
Hats off to them. Bands need to realize without their fans they are nothing, so they should help out their fans because they need them now as much as the rockers need them normally.
When governors started closing down their states due to COVID-19, they eliminated all non-emergency surgeries. That meant that plastic surgery was put on hold.
Now that elective surgery is allowed again in Florida, Dr. Miami is back to work. However, not everyone wants to go into a doctor’s office. What is he going to do?
If you are Michael Salzhauer, then you are going to be creative. On Sundays, while most people are having garage sales, he is doing Botox from his. The best part is you don’t even have to get out of your car.
Salzhauer told Reuters, he came up with the idea when he went to a drive-thru testing site for coronavirus.
When you live in South Florida, looking good is important. Since we are concentrating more on the lines on someone’s upper face, because a mask is covering the lower part, his services are needed. This way the only wrinkles are on your mask.
Dr. Miami’s prices are not even bad. $300 for one are and $600 for three.
I totally trust him. If I ever decide to get cosmetic surgery, I am flying Miami to have him do it. We went to same high school, and I know he is really good at what he does. Don’t believe me, you can watch some of his surgeries online.
CineMmrk is hoping to be back in business by July 10th. Before they completely open their doors nationwide, they will be doing a test run starting on June 19th at five of their theaters in Texas.
They are doing this to find how the new safety measures, due to Coronavirus, will work. One of the measures is that all of their employees will be required to wear masks, but the patrons will not.
However, according to Deadline, they will be using “seat buffering technology” to make sure that the audience will be social distancing. What that means? We do not know.
What it means for me, is that I will stick with drive-in theaters. I don’t want to sit a cold dark room with strangers who are not wearing masks. One popcorn kernel goes down the wrong pipe, and I will Netflix and have the chills.
Do you feel comfortable going back to the movies if the theaters don’t require everyone to wear masks?

The Daytime Emmys used to air on broadcast television every year. However, when the ratings dropped, and it was eventually moved to online after airing on The CW and cable networks.
This year has been crazy because of the coronavirus pandemic, and it is benefiting from that fact. Come June 26th, the awards show, that highlights soap operas, game shows, kids shows, and talk shows, will be airing on CBS.
Since COVID-19 is still prominent in Los Angeles, everyone will be participating from home. That should be very interesting. The celebrities did not have to dress up for the Kids Choice Awards on Nickelodeon, but daytime television is a much different beast. They are used to being dressed to the nines when they are in front of the cameras. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how they dress up for the big night in their living rooms.
It will also be interesting to see what happens when The Talk wins. How will the hosts handle who gives their speech when, and will they talk over each other? That alone is enough reason for me to watch.
Yet, that is not why I will tuning in. I will be doing so to support this genre. Since a lot of us will be stuck at home on that day, why not watch. What else is there to see?
Nominations will be announced tomorrow on The Talk. I expect The Bold and The Beautiful to get nominated. That will give them two consecutive days of good news because they were picked up until 2022.
