'Right now, what I think celebrities are exposing about this time is everyone’s desire to be seen,' says LaineyGossip
Photo: Getty Images Along with toilet paper, yeast, and Annie’s white-cheddar mac ’n’ cheese, gossip ranks highly as a rare and valuable commodity right now. If it happens to fall in your lap, you want to savor it — maybe pair it with a cold beverage, or preserve it in your brain for longer than you normally would, fully absorbing its juiciness.
Emilia Petrarca: I’ve been talking with a lot of different people about how much they miss gossip right now. As someone who covers celebrity and celebrity gossip for a living, what were your first thoughts when the coronavirus pandemic started to become a reality? Were you afraid there wouldn’t be anything to cover?
There was a flurry of a few of them that happened at the same time. There was Vanessa Hudgens going on Instagram Stories and being like, “What’s the big deal?” Or whatever. Not a good look. And then there was, yes, the “Imagine” singalong. It was so earnest. But even though it was well-intentioned, it was badly executed.
As a lifelong fan of Madonna, it has not been fun to watch her talk about how the coronavirus is the “great equalizer” from her bathtub. Like, that’s a giant “fuck you” to a lot of people. I’m lucky — I don’t work on the front lines — so I don’t have as much ground to stand on to say “fuck you” to her. I’m not trying to say, “How dare you, Madonna?” because a lot of people could say, “How dare you?” to me.
I don’t know that I support directing all of the anger towards celebrities. Let’s remember that many of them are entertaining us, for better or worse. I’m probably not the person to talk about this, but I actually think the political leadership is so shitty in America, that the anger that should land on leadership is maybe perhaps landing on celebrities. Like, call out whomever if they’re breaking the rules.
What about Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello? That video of them walking really, really slowly has been one of my favorite things to come out of this moment.
