Positive vibes only.

Julianne Hough is getting rid of the “stagnant energy” surrounding her. On Saturday, the 31-year-old star took to Instagram Stories and did what she does best: dance.

During an Instagram Live session, Julianne joined Chenelle Monique Young (virtually, of course) for a Kinrgy class, in which she danced and shook off the bad vibes.

For the workout, the Dancing With the Stars pro performed routines inspired by four elements: earth, air, fire and water. Each one entailed something different, and she had a unique routine for each.

Before finishing her exercise, the Burlesque alum got real about feelings.

“Releasing All [sic] this stagnant energy built up from what’s going on personally and in the world,” Julianne captioned one of her posts, in which she was also seen getting emotional.

“Welcome home to your own skin… Jules,” another message read, as she danced it out once more.

Her poignant message comes only four days after she was spotted with Ben Barnes.

Despite the fact that the two have been longtime friends, many online wondered why Julianne wasn’t practicing social distancing with her husband, Brooks Laich.

In light of her recent outing, a source previously told E! News the Grease: Live! star and her hockey player husband decided to spend time apart amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

According to the source, Brooks is staying in Idaho while Julianne has been in Los Angeles.

They “have chosen to quarantine apart for right now,” an insider recently shared. “[Brooks] likes to be outdoors and in nature doing his thing and that is fine with both of them.”

The insider added, “She wants him to be happy and he wants her to be happy. If this is what it looks like, so be it.”

Despite being in separate states, they still plan time to “talk every day and are in constant communication.”

“They are both happy and figuring things out together and apart,” the insider explained.

As the old saying goes: absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Listen up, people!

Blue Ivy Carter has an important message to share.

Who knew that Beyoncé and Jay-Z‘s daughter would be the voice of reason during the Coronavirus pandemic. The 8-year-old star schooled us on how to properly wash our hands with an adorable and informative PSA, which was shared on her grandmother’s Instagram.

“Blue’s PSA,” Tina Knowles-Lawson captioned the 1-minute video clip of her granddaughter. “My brilliant granddaughter Blue did this experiment to show how washing your hands fights the virus.”

In the video, the 8-year-old cutie gets down to business and demonstrates how well soap protects our hands from germs.

For her “DIY experiment,” she uses little bit of pepper to show how it reacts when sprinkled with soap and water. 

“Hey y’all, and while we’re stuck at home, I have this little DIY experiment that you can do at home too,” Blue shares at the beginning of the video. “This is why it’s important to wash your hands.”

In the video clip, Blue can be seen mixing her pepper with water in a bowl. After, she sticks her finger in the soap and touches the middle of the bowl, which causes the pepper to immediately separate and move towards the edge of the bowl.

“This is why it’s very important to wash your hands,” she reiterates once more. “Because if you wash your hands, it will stay clean, but if you keep your hands dirty, you might get sick.”

Points were made!

Before signing off, she gives one last message: “I hope you guys are staying safe, wash your hands extra, and please stay at home. Love y’all, bye.”

Blue isn’t the only spreading a good message in her household.

Last night, her famous mom made a surprise appearance on the One World: Together At Home concert. Before performing, she used her time to advocate for her community while also thanking those risking their lives on the frontlines.

“Tonight we celebrate true heroes, those who are making the ultimate sacrifice to keep us all safe, fed and healthy,” she began. “To the doctors, the nurses and other health care workers who are away from their families taking care of ours we continue to pray for your safety. To those in the food industry, delivery workers, mail carriers and sanitation employees who are working so that we can be safe in our homes, we thank you for your selfless service.”

She added, “Black Americans belong to these parts of the work force that don’t have the luxury of working from home. And African-American communities at large have been severely affected in this cries. Those with pre-existing conditions are at higher risk.”

“This virus is killing black people at an alarmingly high rate in America,” the Homecoming star explained. “In a recent report from my home city of Houston, Texas, it showed that COVID-19 deaths within Houston city limits 57 percent of fatal cases are African-Americans.”

“Please protect yourselves. We are one family and we need you,” she expressed. “We need your voices, your abilities and your strength all over this world. I know it’s very hard, but please be patient, stay encouraged, keep the faith, stay positive and continue to pray for our heroes. Good night and God bless you.”

The wait to see some live music in person is going to be a long one.

As the planet continues to battle the global coronavirus pandemic by practicing extreme social distancing and postponing (in some cases indefinitely) any event that would involve a large gathering of strangers, concert venues will remain dark and festival ground empty until it’s deemed safe enough for us all to come together again. And while artist live streams and televised events like last week’s The Disney Family Singalong and One World: Together at Home are doing their part to scratch the itch, music lovers everywhere know there’s nothing quite like the spectacle and sensation of an arena tour or festival set.

So how do we go about getting our fix? Luckily, there’s a plethora of concert films out there, just waiting to be streamed in our living rooms. And while many of them will cost you a bit of money to either rent or own, there are a handful that’ll cost you nothing to watch. (Provided you’ve already got a subscription to a streaming service or four.)

These are the 10 best concert films available to stream right now, all from some of the biggest names in music! (And no, we didn’t include any of the concerts available on YouTube because most of those weren’t filmed with the approval of the artist. So, while plenty exist over there, we won’t be promoting those.)

Armie Hammer, is that you?!

The Call Me By Your Name star was just one celebrity to show off a surprising transformation this week, posting an Instagram selfie that shocked his fans thanks to a wild new look that Joe Exotic would likely approve of. And he wasn’t the only person in Hollywood who seems to have binge-watched Tiger King, with one of country music’s biggest stars allowing their girlfriend to give them a makeover seemingly inspired by the Netflix hit docuseries.

Aside from Hammer, Hilary Duff also made a major hair change, dying her blonde locks a bold new color seemingly out of boredom (Relatable, right?), while a Bachelor Nation couple decided to dye their hair along with their Easter eggs, showing off new pastel hues.

Of course, it wasn’t all hair-related shake-ups, with Shanna Moakler opening up about her recent health journey and sharing a side-by-side photo of her transformation.

Here are the six most surprising celebrity transformations of the week…

Forget conscious coupling, it’s all about civil social distancing.

As we all continue to combat the ongoing coronavirus pandemic by staying at home, we’re spending a lot more time with the people we’re social distancing with, whether it’s your significant other, family, friends, roommates…or your ex.

And celebrities are no different, with many former couples working together to co-parent during this time, including Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson, with the pair making their daughter’s birthday celebration as special as possible.

Other stars are also staying at home with their friendly exes, even sporting matching pajamas (Where’d you get those cute jammies, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis?!) and filming TikTok videos together. You have to pass the time somehow, right? Just ask two former Bachelor Nation couples who are keeping fans guessing as to their current relationship status after they decided to isolate together and haven’t been shy about it on social media.
