Let’s be honest, the Coronavirus has got us all down. Josh Gad wanted to make us smile, so he shared a video of himself dancing to Michael Sembello’s Maniac from Flashdance. It is something you cannot unsee, Which is a good thing. Anytime, we are stressing out over the fact that we are out of toilet paper and cannot find any, we can think of this and laugh. It will magically dry out butts.
Yesterday, Tom Hanks revealed that he and his wife Rita Wilson both have the Coronavirus. In the reveal, he did not show us what they looked, so we were left to imagine.
Today, they posed for this photo and had a little message for us. He wrote, “Hello folks. @ritawilson and I want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us. We have Covid-19 and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else. There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time. There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no? Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball. Hanx”
So don’t cry for them because they will be bringing it home soon.
Earlier today, I was thinking this is something that would happen to Forrest Gump, and he would unknowingly become the face of the virus.
UPDATE: Rita Wilson is trying to have a sense of humor about it, “From here on out, the only Corona I want is from Mexico and you drink it.”
The Coronavirus has come to the Great White Way, and things are very dark. That is because Broadway is canceling all performances until April 12th according to Broadway.com.
Charlotte St. Martin, President of the Broadway League, announced the news with Governor Cuomo. She said, “Our top priority has been and will continue to be the health and well-being of Broadway theatergoers and the thousands of people who work in the theater industry every day, including actors, musicians, stagehands, ushers and many other dedicated professionals.
“Broadway has the power to inspire, enrich and entertain, and together we are committed to making that vital spirit a reality. Once our stages are lit again, we will welcome fans back with open arms so that they can continue to experience the joy, heart and goodwill that our shows so passionately express every night.”
This is heartbreaking for the city. This is a huge part of Manhattan, and it is going to have a devastating effect on the community.
Back in 2001, the curtain was only down for two nights. Therefore, when the curtain goes up again, Broadway is going to need us more than ever.
On Tuesday, Heidi Klum was not able to tape America’s Got Talent because she went home with a common cold according to NBC sourced.
Since the show must go on (while it can until the Coronavirus shuts it down), they brought in Eric Stonestreet to replace her. You know, because he is practically her twin.
He is lucky, his Modern Family co-star Sofia Vergara is a judge on the show now. I am sure she helped to convince Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel to give him the job.
