Ed Sheeran Tests Positive for COVID-19

It's only been 24 hours, but news that Ed Sheeran has Covid is EVERYWHERE.   I think, just after Tom Hanks, this may be the most beloved person to contract the never-ending virus. Poor Ed is just days away from dropping his newest album and 7 days away from an SNL performance and now at least one of those isn't happening. Ed says he's following guidelines and quarantining for the foreseeable future, so SNL and dozens of interviews are off the table. As he is currently asymptomatic,...

Kate Beckinsale gets grief for being an intelligent woman

I happened to be listening to Howard Stern on this week when Kate Beckinsale was on.  She was lovely. And forthcoming in a way not always seen in celebs. At one point Howard noted that she went to Oxford and must be very smart and has she ever had her IQ tested.  To which she replied she had, but didn't remember the score.  But she remembered it was high. But she quickly got her mother on the line and asked her and she informed Kate that her IQ was 152.  Which is a 'highly gifted' sco...

Soccer superstar Pelé gives fans update on his condition

  I'm a female from the US with zero interest in sports and even I know the hell out of Pelé. He's a legend. So I was sad to hear the 81 year old had been hospitalized for surgery to remove a lesion in his colon in September. Pelé took to instagram this week to update his fans about his recovery. He wrote, "I suggest you start to catch your breath to celebrate with me, because with each passing day I get closer to score a goal."

Reuters reports that Pelé is also undergoing chemotherapy as part of his recovery. Back on September 30th he took to instagram to thank his team of doctors of Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. "When the path is difficult, celebrate each step of the journey. Focus on your happiness. It's true that I can't jump anymore, but these past few days, I've been punching the air more times than usual. I am so happy to be back at home. I want to thank the entire Albert Einstein Hospital team, who made my stay a pleasant one, with a humane and very affectionate welcome. Thanks also to all of you, who from afar, make my life complete with so many messages of love." Good luck to you, Pelé!

This is so messed up.  I have so many.... so Alec Baldwin was on the set of a film called 'Rust' on Thursday when he fired a prop gun that accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and This is so messed up.  I have so many.... so Alec Baldwin was on the set of a film called 'Rust' on Thursday when he fired a prop gun that accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza. Of course, Alec has not been arrested because this was an accident, but the sheriff's department did say it's still an open and active case. I just don't understand how this happens.  The guns have blanks in them. Back in 1993 Brandon Lee, (son of the great Bruce ...

Colin Yost selling West Village duplex

  It's been a year since SNL's Colin Yost married Scarlett Johansson and in that time they've welcomed son Cosmo.  So it seems reasonable they'd be looking for a bigger place. The MLS listing calls the place "Endlessly chic 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom garden duplex with private patio" and that seems about right.  You've got exposed brick walls and a wood-burning fireplace. French doors open out to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. What could be more charming?

First look at the new The Munsters!

Rob Zombie was the obvious choice to bring back the wonderful Munster family and invite us all into their home at 1313 Mockingbird Lane.   Now we're getting a little preview. The rocker shared some pics on this insta, including a shot of the cast (Jeff Daniels as Herman, Sherri Moon as Lily and Daniel Roebuck as Grandpa) sitting in front of the famous set. In the past Rob has also shared insight into the costume design of the film, teasing sketches of what Lily and Herman Munster wear to bed. While the costume designer has not yet been revealed, the detailed look included a description of Herman’s nightgown, complete with skull buttons, while spiderweb embroidery finishes Lily’s floor-length robe. Zombie wrote, “What do Herman and Lily wear to bed? Perhaps something like this! Check out some wardrobe designs by our amazing costume designers.” So excited!!!

Oprah will do 2 hr sit down with Adele

Adele has a new album dropping soon and it seems she's chosen Oprah to be the one to introduce it to the world. Coming this November Adele will host her own CBS special in which she will perform new material from her upcoming album.

The singer, 33, will also sit down with Oprah Winfrey for a wide-ranging chat covering her divorce, weight loss and motherhood.

The two-hour special, entitled Adele One Night Only, will air on the channel on November 14, five days before the release of her long-awaited fourth album, 30.

The special, which will be filmed in Los Angeles, has been billed as: 'Adele's first televised wide-ranging conversation about her new album, the stories behind the songs, life after divorce, weight loss and raising her son.'

No word on when the UK will get their hands on it, but you can stream it, so hopefully if they are that interested they can do that.
