Pink Reveals What It Was Like to Have the Coronavirus

Pink has started talking about her health following her positive test results for the Coronavirus COVID-19.

During an Instagram Live chat with author Jen Pastiloff on Saturday, the “Beautiful Trauma” singer was briefly joined by her 3-year-old son Jameson, who said he was “feeling better” after showing symptoms for the virus.

Pink revealed she and her son “have been really, really sick,” and her son “has had the worst of it.”

“There were many nights when I’ve cried and I’ve never prayed more in my life,” the mom of two shared. “It’s funny, but at one point, I thought they promised us our kids would be okay. It’s not guaranteed. There is no one that is safe from this.”

Pink said that she and Jameson got sick but, her husband Carey Hart and their eight-year-old daughter Willow have been healthy.

“Jameson has been really, really sick,” she said. “I’ve kept a journal of his symptoms for the past three weeks and mine as well. He still, three weeks later, has a 100 temperature. It’s been a rollercoaster for both of us, but Carey and Willow have been perfectly fine.”

Pink said while her and Jameson’s conditions have improved, they have not fully recovered.

“We’re better than we were,” she said. “Last week I was on Nebulizers. I’ve had asthma really bad, had it for my whole life. It got really, really scary, I’m not gonna lie. In the beginning, all we were hearing was ‘If you’re young, this is 65 and older, all of the kids are fine.’ ”

“Yes I have asthma, but Jameson, he’s three, he’s perfectly fine,” Pink continued. “We live in the country, right. The worst thing that attacks us here is pollen or mountain lion. But he’s been really, really sick and it’s scary. He’s been up and down and I’ve been on nebulizers for the first time in 30 years and that’s been really scary for me.”

Pink added, “I’m hoping we are out of the woods but this thing is a rollercoaster. Just when you think you are better, something else happens.”

On Friday, Pink revealed the news on Instagram that she tested positive for the Coronavirus after she started showing symptoms.

“Two weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson, and I are were showing symptoms of COVID-19. Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive,” Pink wrote on Instagram Friday.

“My family was already sheltering at home and we continued to do so for the last two weeks following the instruction of our doctor. Just a few days ago we were re-tested and are now thankfully negative,” she wrote.

Pink discussed she is helping healthcare professionals during the Coronavirus pandemic.

“In an effort to support the healthcare professionals who are battling on the frontlines every day, I am donating $500,000 to the Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund in Philadelphia in honor of my mother, Judy Moore, who worked there for 18 years in the Cardiomyopathy and Heart Transplant Center,” she continued in her post.

“Additionally, I am donating $500,000 to the City of Los Angeles Mayor’s Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund,” she added. “THANK YOU to all of our healthcare professionals and everyone in the world who are working so hard to protect our loved ones. You are our heroes!”

Lil Nas X Talks About Coming Out as Gay, Politics, and Family

One year ago, Lil Nas X released the remix to ‘Old Town Road’ featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, which is one of the biggest songs in music history. The 20-year-old recently had a new interview with the Guardian. In the interview, he opens up about his sexuality, politics, and family life.

The Grammy winner says he hid his sexuality, keeping his fashion real low-key and “acting really hard” early in his musical career.

“The honest truth is, I planned to die with the secret,” says the rapper, who eventually revealed that he is gay in a tweet last summer.

“I 100 percent want to represent the LGBT community,” he says, adding, “I don’t want to encourage them to do something they don’t 100 percent want to do. Especially in, like, middle school or high school. Because it’s just super-hard.”

Lil Nas X adds that he has more independence and it may be more difficult for others to open about their sexuality.

“It’s easier for me,” he continues. “I’m not depending on anybody. There’s no one who’s going to kick me out of the house — nobody to start treating me s****y.”

Lil Nas X opens up that he does not speak to his mother but he does talk to his family but, they are not open conversations.

“My family knows now,” he tells the newspaper. “But it’s not something that’s ever brought up or we speak about. We’re quiet on it. Nobody’s like, ‘Oh, you got a boyfriend?’

“It would have to be something I grew used to hearing,” he says when asked if he wishes his family were more invested in his love life. “I don’t want it to be something we never talk about. Because what about the kids in my family? I would like it to be a healthy medium between, ‘Who are you f***ing?’ and just not saying anything.”

Lil Nas X also touched on politics. During the interview, he explained his decision to decline a request to publicly endorse Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who is the openly gay politician that since dropped out of the Presidential race.

“I’m not too into politics,” he says. “I don’t know his political history or motives. The only thing I know … Wasn’t he from the Democratic Party? … All I know is he’s from the Democratic Party and he’s gay. So it’s like … I don’t want to base my support off, ‘Oh, you’re gay, I’m going to support you.’

“Yeah, you’re gay,” he continues. “But I don’t know everything you’re planning when you’re running the entire country.”

Lil Nas X said he is hesitant to endorse someone “because I don’t know what else they’re doing, or what they’re going to do,” that said, he does plan to take vote in the 2020 election.

“Of course I’m going to vote,” he says. He added, “I encourage my fans to vote.”

Coronavirus: Jackie Chans Urges the World to “Stay At Home”

Jackie Chan is telling people to stay strong during the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

The action movie star, 65, shared a video on social media on Friday. He said while it is a difficult time for millions of people, we are all facing the challenges together. So follow the guidelines to keep you and everyone safe.

“I know it’s a very difficult time for everyone right now,” the star said in the social media post. “We all face the same problem: the coronavirus. It’s very important to stay at home with your family and follow the rules of your government. If you have to go out, please remember to wear your face mask and wash your hands frequently. Protecting yourself is protecting your family.”

The actor ended the video by saying, ”Stay safe, stay strong. I truly believe we have a brighter future ahead.”

A large number of celebrities have released statements urging people to follow guidelines as the coronavirus continues to spread.

In relevant news, the leader of a Pentecostal megachurch in Tampa Bay, Rodney Howard-Browne, was arrested after holding large church services during the Coronavirus pandemic.

On March 30, the Hillsborough County Sheriff announced he had got an arrest warrant for the pastor’s arrest, and an hour later, Howard-Browne was booked in Hernando County Detention Center.

According to reports, Howard-Browne wrote off the threat of the Coronavirus. During a sermon two weeks ago, he told River at Tampa church members the church will remain open, and he also encouraged church members to shake hands.

In a clip from Right Wing Watch’s social media, Howard-Browne says the “church will never close.” He adds, “The only time the church is closed is when the rapture is taking place.”

You can check out a teaser below.


Original Post-April 5, 2020: Netflix is reportedly filming new episodes of ‘Tiger King

On Saturday, news broke that the popular Netflix documentary series ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness’ will add a new episode.

Justin Turner, from the Los Angeles Dodgers, tweeted the big news with a video featuring one of the show’s characters, Jeff Lowe.

According to the New York Post, Lowe and Turner connected after the LA Dodgers baseball star mentioned the show on his wife Kourtney Turner’s podcast ‘Holding Kourt’.

“Hey Kourtney and Justin, this is Jeff and Lauren from the ‘Tiger King’ show on Netflix. Thanks for watching our show,” Lowe said in the video.

“Netflix is adding one more episode. It will be on next week. We’re filming here tomorrow.”

Lowe ends the video with some tips on how to protect yourself during the Coronavirus pandemic – “stay safe, and put your mask on.”

The docuseries became a hit since debuting on March 20. The documentary centers around a tiger zoo owner named Joseph Maldonado-Passage, also known as “Joe Exotic”, and his role in a muder-for-hire attempt to kill activist Carole Baskin.

Joe Exotic is serving a 22-year prison sentence for his vengeful plot. He was recently transferred to the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, after Coronavirus COVID-19 was found in his previous jail.

Jeff Lowe took over the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park in Oklahoma from his Joe Exotic, a former business partner, Joe Exotic.

The show allegedly caused the law enforcement to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Carole Baskin’s second husband, Jack “Don” Lewis in August 1997. Baskin was never considered a suspect or a person of interest, according to reports.

Coronavirus: When Will Hollywood Go Back to Normal?

When will the Hollywood shutdown end?

Currently, no one knows when the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic will come to an end. Experts say the virus will run its course, and until the Pandemic is over, the economy will remain on life-support. Dr. Anthony Fauci stated, there is a tipping point on lockdown measures in the United States.

Fauci determined that “we need to make sure to keep an eye on the balance. If you are too stringent in things like lockdowns and keeping things under wraps for a long period of time, you may have the unintended consequence of triggering from an economic and society standpoint, such disruptions that you get things like poverty and health issues unrelated to Coronavirus that are really a serious concern … many people need medications.

“Many people are dependent on supply chains for nutrition, for food, that they might starve … if you dramatically interrupt that to the point that it no longer exists, the disruption of society can be really quite catastrophic. That’s one of the things you want to avoid. That’s one of the pushbacks you have when people say you really need to lock down everything indefinitely. Well, you might get an extra mile or two out of suppressing the virus there, but you got to make sure that you look at what the ultimate issue is … let’s be careful that we don’t do such a disruption to society that we really hurt it as much or more than we’re trying to prevent.”

Hollywood studios do not know when moviegoers will be able to return to theaters or when actors will be able to work on set. That said, AMC theaters are hoping to re-open by mid-June, while studios are rescheduling their movies for late summer in hopes things will be back to normal by August.

Paramount Studios is betting families will be ready to get out of their houses and excited to see a movie by July 31st, which is when ‘The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run’ hits theaters. However, Paramount Studios is taking a more conservative approach with Tom Cruise’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, which had an original release date. Now, the ‘Top Gun’ sequel will be pushed to December 23rd.

‘A Quiet Place Part 2’ will hit theaters Labor Day weekend on September 4th. Usually, Labor Day is a slow box office day, but Paramount is hoping audiences will be excited to go to theaters that weekend the weekend before kids are supposed to go back to school.

Disney still has ‘Soul’ set for a release on June 19th and Ryan Reynolds’ next movie has a premiere on the 4th of July. ‘Wonder Woman’ sequel was moved to August 14th, as Warner Bros. hopes everything is better by August.

Tekashi 69 Released Early From Prison Due to the Coronavirus Outbreak

The rapper Tekashi 69 is receiving an early release from prison due to fears about the spread of COVID-19, a judge ordered Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, the judge who sentenced the rapper to prison, advised that he be moved to home confinement for the remaining four months of his two-year prison term. The judge ordered the rapper’s release from Queens Detention Facility following a petition by his lawyers.

The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, requested compassionate release last month, arguing that his asthma condition made him particularly at-risk during the pandemic.

“Mr. Hernandez has been complaining to prison officials this week of shortness of breath, but apparently the warden of his facility will not allow Mr. Hernandez to go to the hospital despite the recommendation of the facility’s medical director that Mr. Hernandez be treated by a doctor at a hospital,” his lawyers said at the time.

Tekashi 69 was sentenced to two years in prison on firearms and racketeering charges. Hernandez was initially been facing 37 years in prison was given a break after testifying against the Nine Trey Bloods gang.

“Had the Court known that sentencing Mr. Hernandez to serve the final four months of his term in a federal prison would have exposed him to a heightened health risk, the Court would have directed that these four months be served instead in home confinement,” Engelmayer wrote in his order advising release earlier this week.

Disney Furloughs Employees Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

Disney will furlough non-union employees at theme parks.

At this time, during the Coronavirus pandemic, Disney indefinitely closed their parks. Now, the company announced plans to furlough non-union workers and stop collecting payments for its annual park passes.

“Disney employees have received full pay and benefits during this time, and we’ve committed to paying them through April 18, for a total of five additional weeks of compensation,” the company said in a statement Thursday. “However, with no clear indication of when we can restart our businesses, we’re forced to make the difficult decision to take the next step and furlough employees whose jobs aren’t necessary at this time.”

According to CNBC, employees will receive full health-care benefits. Disney will also pay the cost of employee and company premiums. Employees will too bless to continue their Disney Aspire education program.

Disney also reports, employees will be eligible for $600 per week in federal aid through the $2 trillion economic stimulus bill.

Currently, Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products segment have 177,000 cast members. “This reality has been sobering to all of us,” executives from Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products wrote in a letter to staff Thursday. “As difficult as this decision was, we know it was the right one to help protect our cast members, our guests, and our communities.”

The company announced it had made changes to its annual pass holder tickets due to the Coronavirus. Guests who bought their annual pass in full, their passes will be extended. For those on the monthly plan, Disney will halt all future payments.

What does Furlough mean?

  • According to Merriam-Webster, Furlough means  “to cease to employ (a worker) often temporarily.” The dictionary company points out that Furlough is a benevolent way to say, fire, otherwise removing someone from a job for an indefinite time.

Given the ambiguity of the term, the word’s definition will depend upon someone who uses it. More specifically, if a company says they are furloughing their staff for an indefinite period, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary, they are technically fired from their job.

Netflix’s Joe Exotic Reveals The Actors He Wants for a ‘Tiger King’ Movie

Joe Exotic ‘Tiger King’ Movie Cast – Joe Exotic reveals who he wants to play him in a ‘Tiger King’ movie.

Netflix’s ‘Tiger King’ has gone viral and the effect is amplified by the social distancing mandates due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Currently, the Tiger King is serving a 22-year prison sentence on two counts of murder-for-hire for planning to have Baskin killed as well as over a dozen wildlife-related charges.

Joe Exotic’s story has gained national attention and he’s reportedly hoping for more fame. In fact, he’s in favor of seeing his personality onscreen perhaps beyond the scripted limited series starring Kate McKinnon, which is currently, in the works. In fact, he has preferences as to who he wants to see on the screen a biopic of his life story.

From prison, Joe Exotic spoke to ‘Tiger King’ co-director Rebecca Chaiklin, who spoke with Hollywood Reporter, that Joseph Maldonado-Passage “would like Brad Pitt or David Spade to play him.”

In fact, “He doesn’t refer to David Spade as David Spade,” Chaiklin revealed. “[H]e refers to him as ‘Joe Dirt.’” 

Currently, it does not sound like David Spade is interested in the role and Brad Pitt has not commented on the subject. Meanwhile, ‘Tiger King’ is currently streaming on Netflix.

In relevant news, Cardi B wanted to start a GoFundMe for ‘Tiger King’ Joe Exotic. Cardi pushed her support for Joe further in retweeting a fan’s meme in response to her tweet calling Baskin a “slick b*tch.” With the retweet, she appeared to agree with a belief shared by some on the show that Baskin not only killed her late husband but fed him to the tigers she keeps her Florida sanctuary.

YouTube is Working on a TikTok Competitor (Report)

YouTube is reportedly developing a TikTok competitor called “Shorts”

TikTok is quickly taking over online video, an arena YouTube dominates for the moment. Now, Google’s video streaming platform is looking to compete with TikTok by developing a competitor.

According to The Verge, YouTube is working on a short-form, user-generated content app called “Shorts.”

“Shorts” will let people upload brief feeds into a feed inside a mobile app, very similar to TikTok, and will allow users to take advantage of the licensed music on YouTube. These songs can be used within videos. Currently, TikTok works by letting people choose from a selection of audio, music, and video clips, and create a video using those sounds.

It’s pretty clear when you look at the numbers behind TikTok’s incredible growth. TikTok saw a 125% growth in users over the last two years, according to a report by App Annie. The mobile app also has hundreds of millions of users and is becoming the home for current pop culture. TikTok reported had approximately 842 million first-time downloads over the last 12 months, which is a 15 percent increase year over year.

It is not the first time YouTube experimented with a new app. YouTube incorporated their version of Instagram Stories into the platform. Considering the fact YouTube has 2 billion monthly active users and rising streaming numbers due to the social-distancing Coronavirus epidemic, it is not surprising YouTube is building a version of TikTok. That said, not everyone is successful. Facebook created its version of TikTok with Lasso, but that app has not found the same level of success as TikTok.

In relevant news, Hollywood is looking at TikTok influencers for commercial, acting, and modeling contracts. In a report by The Hollywood Reporter, the analytics firm Sensor Tower estimates people downloaded more than 100 million times in the United States. The UTA recently signed Brittany Tomlinson, whose August video showed her trying kombucha for the first time, and it had 1 million likes. Then the NFL announced a multiyear partnership with TikTok to offer game highlights and behind-the-scenes footage to users. Now, Will Smith is transitioning to TikTok after taking over Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. Will Smith has over 700 million fans.
