“Shaun of the Dead” stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost re-imagined a scene from the 2004 zombie flick using 2020 sensibilities – with considerations made for Coronavirus and a rejection of homophobia, of course. Refresh your memory with the original scene for “THE PLAN.”
And here’s the new scene, with the actors delivering their lines from different locations and via phone of course. Social distancing is so hot right now.
It was announced back in Fall 2019 that 90s classic TV sitcom “Saved by the Bell” would be returning as a reboot on the NBCUniversal streaming platform Peacock, AND that both Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley would be reprising their roles as A.C. Slater and Jessie Spano. Only recently, Peacock announced that Mark Paul Gosselaar would be returning as blond beach babe of 90s teens’ dreams Zack Morris. And now, Gosselaar himself has posted an Instagram showing his transformation into the character. *SWOON*

As Jessie would have said, we’re SO EXCITED!
With everyone being asked to stay home as a form of social distancing, celebs are no exception… BUT, with “exceptional” talents, some celebs are working to keep the rest of us entertained.
So far, Chris Martin and John Legend have each given mini-concerts…

Katharine McPhee and her hubby David Foster have even promised to keep at it, writing: “we wanna try and do it everyday at 5:30 PT cuz what else is there to do?”

So true! We are forever grateful, Katharine. And let’s hope that these fabulous musicians keep this trend going!
In these days of Coronavirus quarantines and self-isolation, everything is so different and yet still the same. Erykah Badu proved last week that high fashion doesn’t stop, even with social distancing efforts underway worldwide. Here she is rocking a “bootleg” hazmat suit with massive Louis Vuitton logos, at the Austin Film Society’s Texas Film Awards:

Inspired by those little white “pizza saver” plastic tables that come in most boxes of delivery pizza, Ikea and Pizza Hut Hong Kong have reportedly teamed up to create a new product: an actual table that holds your pizza.

No news yet on where you can actually buy one of these, but maybe that’s for the best because honestly it just makes us hungry to look at it.
With the explosion in popularity of White Claw and other alcoholic seltzers, it was presumably only a matter of time until the world would have beer mixed with seltzer. The time has now come.
Leinenkugel, the beer company known for its Summer Shandy, is entering the hard seltzer game. “There are plenty of beers on the market and a variety of seltzers entering the category, but nobody is offering the best of both worlds except us,” said Katie Leinenkugel, Leinenkugel’s Brand Strategy and Engagement Lead, and sixth-generation family member. “Spritzen is the refreshing intersection between beer’s timeless taste and the modern rise of seltzers. We know that drinkers enjoy seltzer’s better-for-you qualities but miss the taste of beer, and Spritzen is the perfect option to fill that need.”
The new Spritzen will come in three flavors (Grapefruit, Raspberry Lemon and Pineapple Strawberry) and will have under 100 calories with no sugar or artificial ingredients.
BEER with a SPLASH of WHAT?! 🍺💦#Spritzen in German means “Splash” & our #Leinenkugels Spritzen is #BEER with a splash of #SELTZER 👅
Try all 3 flavors at our Launch Party:
