Colin Hanks has gotten into the handkerchief business, and he came up with a name that is perfect for him. It is Hanks Kerchiefs. Get it? He got his dad’s sense of humor, and I am sure Tom Hanks is proud of his son. Especially when you see how nice the handkerchiefs are.
When Jennifer Aniston, Ellen DeGeneres, James Corder, or Jennifer Lopez read a Mean Tweet on Jimmy Kimmel Live, you can understand why the person wrote it. However, I cannot understand why someone would write a mean one about Ted Danson, Henry Winkler, or Tom Hanks. Well, technically, no one wrote a mean one about Hanks, but still.
Anyways, all three of these guys have a reputation for being nice. So, I was shocked when Winkler said: “F*ck you” like The Fonz to the author of “Henry Winkler is going to catch these hands. Shark jumping ass bitch. F*ck you, Fonzie.” I didn’t think he knew how to curse someone out. I don’t know if I should be sad or turned on. I am going with the latter because I like when nice guys are naughty.
However, my favorite Tweet in this segment is the one where a person wrote, “Shaq’s penis is Kevin Hart.” And now my sex drive went cold, picturing that. I am sure they are both around the same size.
Tom Hanks has gone through many transformations throughout his career. He gained weight for A League of Their Own, he lost a lot for Philadelphia, and now he got a “horrible” haircut to play Colonel Tom Parker in Baz Luhrmann’s movie about Elvis Presley.
The actor debuted the nearly bald look on The Graham Norton Show, and he tried to hide it by having his head above the computer’s camera’s angle. Eventually, he gave us a quick glimpse. The Oscar winner is correct; it is “horrible.” Hopefully, it will grow back. Although, we will love him with or without hair.
Now, the question is, will the Academy love him enough to give him his third Oscar because of it. We will find out whenever that film comes out.
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.”
Hollywood is not immune from the Coronavirus because Tom Hanks revealed today that he and his wife Rita Wilson both tested positive for the virus in the land down under.
Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive.
Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?
Hopefully, the two 63-year-olds will be healthy soon like most of the people who get it.
BTW Why wasn’t anyone protecting him from getting it. The 2-time Oscar winner is a national treasure and needs to be protected. There are a handful of celebs, who meet this requirement, and he is one of them.
UPDATE: Colin Hanks gives an update on his parents.
“We are so grateful for the outpouring of support from everyone. My parents are receiving excellent care in Australia and are doing well (and in good spirits) given the circumstances. Despite the fact that I’m in LA and haven’t seen them in over three weeks, we have been in constant contact and am confident that they will make a full recovery.”
