On family fun night, it’s game on!

For many famous families in Hollywood, an evening indoors is so much better than an elaborate red carpet or fancy night out. But what does one do when you decide to stay in your fabulous home? Pull out some games, of course!

“We play Uno. It’s a card game and my oldest son who is 14 is ruthless,” Tess Holliday shared with E! News exclusively while visiting Monster Jam at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. “He is like the sorest loser and he finds a way to cheat constantly. He’s very competitive but also very good at it.”

For WW ambassador Daphne Oz, she’s careful about who she invites over for game night. After all, her family can get very into the games.

“We only invite very close friends over for our family game night because we’re extremely competitive and we don’t want anyone to get their feelings hurt during the process,” she joked to us. Oh yes, we can relate. So what are Hollywood’s cutest families enjoying this spring? Keep scrolling to find out.

High School Musical Stars Have a Zoom Reunion as They Practice Social Distancing


They may be social distancing, but the Wildcats are still all in this together!

Most of the cast of Disney’s 2006 TV movie High School Musical and its sequels recently had a reunion on Zoom as they and millions of people self-isolate at home amid the coronavirus pandemic. Vanessa Hudgens, who played female lead character Gabriella Montez, posted a photo of the virtual get-together on Saturday.

“Guess who’s back…” she wrote.

Fellow cast members who also took part in the call included her real-life BFF Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman, as well as High School Musical director Kenny Ortega.

“Together….together…..[piano emoji] [winking face emoji],” Coleman commented.

Notably absent: Zac Efron, Hudgen’s real-life ex who played male lead and her character’s love interest, Troy Bolton.

Bart Johnson, who played Efron’s character’s dad, Coach Jack Bolton, also did not take part in the Zoom call.

“Warms my heat every time i see a family reunion i didn’t get invited to. [red heart emoji] [frowning face emoji] [silly face emoji] #typical [laughing face emoji],” he commented on Hudgens’ post.

Ortega also shared a photo of a Zoom reunion with several High School Musical dancers and choreographer Charles “Chucky” Klapow.

6 Reasons to Get Excited for Coachella's Fall Festival


This weekend would have marked the first weekend of Coachella 2020. However, the famous music festival in Indio, Calif. was postponed due to the global coronavirus pandemic.

The event is now scheduled for Fall 2020. The first weekend of festivities will take place Oct. 9, 10 and 11 while the second will be held Oct. 16, 17 and 18. Festival passes for both weekends are already sold out; however, fans can still join waiting lists for a chance at tickets becoming available.

Instead of returning to the desert this weekend, many music lovers are observing “Couchella.” Whether they’re reminiscing about their favorite festival moments, streaming the new documentary Coachella: 20 Years in the Desert or re-watching videos of epic concert performances, there are several ways people can take part in an at-home celebration while social distancing. Some have even decorated their pads to get into the spirit and set the vibe.

Of course, many fans are looking forward to the October event, too. While many of the details have yet to be revealed, here are six reasons why people can be excited about Coachella hosting its festival in the fall.

Surprise! Tom Hanks Hosts SNL at Home: 5 Best Moments


Surprise!

Tom Hanks hosted Saturday Night Live‘s first remote episode in what marked his first TV appearance since revealing a month ago that he and wife Rita Wilson had contracted the novel coronavirus in Australia. The two have since recovered and returned to the United States, where they have practiced social distancing at home. And so are millions of others, including the SNL cast…thus the remote episode.

Check out five best moments from SNL at Home, which was prerecorded:

1. Tom Hanks’ Monologue:

Speaking in front of a kitchen, Hanks, sporting a semi-shaved head—a look he sported for his latest acting role—made a Tiger King reference and talked about his coronavirus diagnosis.

“I have been the celebrity canary in the coal mine for the coronavirus and ever since I have I have been more like America’s Dad than ever before since no one wants to be around me very long and I make people uncomfortable,” he joked.

Hanks later took questions from two “audience members”—both played by himself.

2. Zoom Call:

Cast members Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon play older receptionists who can’t quite grasp proper group video call etiquette. Think poop jokes.

3. Pete Davidson’s Drake Music Video:

The cast member parodies a Drake song and music video in a clip set in his mom’s basement, directed by his mom.

4. MasterClass Quarantine Edition:

SNL star Chloe Fineman does impressions of Timothée Chalamet, JoJo Siwa and Carole Baskin from Tiger King in this Masterclass parody.

5. Tribute to Hal Willner:

SNL cast, past and present, recorded tribute messages for Willner, a record producer who oversaw sketch music for the show and recently died of coronavirus complications at age 64. They also sang Lou Reed‘s “Perfect Day.”

The list of SNL alumni who participated includedAdam Sandler, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Molly Shannon, Rachel Dratch and Ana Gasteyer.

It’s crazy to think that it’s already been two years since baby True Thompson was welcomed to the world.

In that time, we’ve seen Khloe Kardashian‘s little one grow into an adorable toddler who takes a lot after her mama.

Back when Khloe first announced her pregnancy in 2017, she wrote that becoming a parent was her, “Greatest dream realized…I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along” and anyone who has been following her since True’s birth can see how great of a mom Khloe is.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star frequently shares photos and videos peeking into the duo’s lives. From the twosome constantly wearing matching outfits to Khloe taking sweet selfies, we can’t get enough!

So, to honor the tot’s second birthday, we’re taking a look back at her cutest photos with her loving mother.

We’re pretty sure we’ll see some more today, as the Kardashians are kind of known for creating amazing birthdays for their kids.

Work(out) From Home: Sofia Richie's Trainer Will Have Your Glutes Burning in Just 20 Minutes


You can do anything for 20 minutes, including working out like Sofia Richie.

While it may seem hard to get a great workout in from the comfort of your own living room while practicing social distancing, E! News is here to help, turning to some of the best celebrity trainers to provide you some new routines to try.

And start preparing your glutes to feel sore tomorrow after trying this booty-blasting workout from Amy Rosoff Davis, a trainer who counts Sofia, Richie, Selena Gomez, Emma Roberts and Kristen Bell among her star clients.

“As we settle into this ‘new norm’—can we even call it that? It hardly feels normal!—we are all forced to make adjustments to our lifestyles,” Rosoff Davis exclusively tells E! News. “But, that doesn’t mean we need to compromise our health! There are so many great at home workouts and streaming options.”

And the one she provided to us only requires light dumbbells and/or wrist weights, but just engaging your muscles correctly if you don’t have any equipment will still provide a heart-pumping workout.

Plus, to nourish your body after your workout, Rosoff Davis is providing the “yummy” recipe Sofia Richie can’t get enough of that’s comforting, delicious and healthy (aka the foodie triple threat).

Here’s Rosoff Davis’ workout routine:

Warm up/Cardio Section (Option to hold 1-3 pound weights or wrist weights)
2 minutes of jumping jacks
1 minutes of alternating kicks to the front
1 minute of alternating kicks to the sides
1 minute of alternating kicks to the back
2 minutes of Jump rope (air jump if you don’t have a rope)
1 minute of second position plie pulses
1 minute in second position plie, pulse knees to the back
1 minute of downward-facing dog to lunge, back to down dog to lunge on other leg, repeat and keep switching sides

Now that your heart rate is up, let’s get to toning those muscles!

For this series, you have the option to place the weights around your ankles.

Toning Series:
1. Hold plank and pull right knee into your chest in between your arms, then place back in plank position. Bring right knee towards outside of right shoulder into rock climber position. Place back in plank. Repeat 10 times on the right, switch to the left. Repeat the series 3 times (30 total on each side).
2. Lay on your back with your legs on the couch–knees bent like you are in table top, but resting your legs on the cushions. Do 30 crunches (lightly using your fingertips at the base of the neck and drop your shoulders and keep elbows wide), 30 pulses, and 30 diagonal crunches. Then activate your arms into the ground and do 30 reverse curls–where you lift and lower your hips. Try and go up and down rather than back and forth, with your neck lengthened and your gaze is straight up to the ceiling.
3. 3 sets of 10 push-ups kneeling or regular

4. On all fours in table-top, lift your right leg and elongate through your toes behind you. Do 50 circles in each direction. Do 50 arabesque lifts (keeping leg straight, lift and lower to the ground) and then do 50 arabesque pulses.

Now don’t forget to stretch, with Rosoff Davis recommending the following stretches: 
Downward dog to pigeon on each side
Butterfly
Runners stretch on each side
Straddle stretch

If you’re looking for a new recipe to try in the kitchen, Rosoff Davis has provided her yummy floutas recipe that she made with Sofia on Instagram in early March.

Ingredients: 
-Roast chicken (If you are vegetarian or vegan use any veggies and use just avocado and no greek yogurt. We used peppers, but chopped cauliflower or dark leafy greens or anything will work as a vegetable substitute! For vegan option you can also add brown rice or beans.)
-3 limes
-1-3 avocados
-garlic
-cilantro
-spices such as cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt
-olive oil
-tortillas

Directions:
Tear meat off roast chicken or chop veggies. Chop cilantro.
Marinate chicken and/or veggies in olive oil and spices. Add salt to taste.
Mix green yogurt with avocado and lots of lime, cilantro and some salt to taste. Set aside.
Saute veggies and/or chicken in a pan with olive oil and garlic. Add lime. Take out of pan and add more lime and cilantro. Add salt to taste if needed.
Warm tortillas in pan for 30 seconds to a minute, take out and keep warm in towel.
Tightly roll veggies and/or meat into tortilla.
Add olive oil or canola oil to pan and fry the wrapped tortilla. Take out when lightly browned and rest on paper towel.
Finish with greek yogurt/avocado mix, squeeze more lime and throw some cilantro and salt on top! BOOM!

Aside from getting creative in the kitchen, Rosoff Davis also had another wellness tip.

“I also encourage you to take this time to pick up a new hobby, learn something new or up your self-care practice,” she said. “Can you finally take the time to meditate for even just 5 minutes a day, try that new online course, paint, read, take a day bath- the options are endless.”
