Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and something tells us Joe Exotic is loving all of the celebrity Tiger King cos-play going down on social media these days.

While Kate McKinnon is already set to star as Carole Baskin in a scripted TV series about the pair’s epic feud, that hasn’t stopped other celebs from dressing up as the divisive Big Cat Rescue owner on social media since Tiger King debuted on March 20. 

But with the role of Joe Exotic in the UCP series still up for grabs, a lot of actors are seemingly throwing their names in the ring to portray the eccentric zoo operator, who had multiple husbands, a mullet and is currently in jail serving his 22-year sentence.

“If I don’t get cast as Joe Exotic in the eventual biopic, Hollywood is broken,” Dax Shepard tweeted, but stars like Rob Lowe, Jared Leto and more have gone as far as to dress as Joe, while Thomas Lennon jokingly (but maybe seriously) auditioned in character during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. 

Of course, for some stars, dressing up as some of the Tiger King stars has been a distraction as they continue to practice social distancing, with more than one Bachelor Nation couple getting in on the fun, as well as the entire Stallone family.

Here are all the celebs who are breaking out the leopard print, crop tops and eyeliner to dress up as Joe Exotic and Tiger King‘s other larger than life stars…

Tiger King is streaming on Netflix. Inspired to dress up too? Well, you’re in luck—Tiger King fashion is now a thing.

Throughout the pandemic, Anderson Cooper has maintained his composure as he’s reported on daily news and given updates on the coronavirus, but that tough exterior cracked when he spoke to Katie Coelho, whose husband died from complications caused by COVID-19. 

The widow joined the newscaster on his CNN show Anderson Cooper 360 on Friday to remember her husband Jonathan Coelho and to urge people to take all the necessary precautions so they can avoid the “indescribable” pain she is now going through. “My husband should not have died Wednesday morning,” she said. “But he did.”

According to Katie, John didn’t “fall under any” of the categories that could’ve made him an at-risk individual. She said he was a healthy 32-year-old man and their family was doing the most to limit exposure to germs. The only thing that made him more susceptible to contracting the virus was his role as a probation officer, which made him an essential employee. 

Katie said that although he was “feeling scared and not wanting to go” to work, he was unable to do so. 

In March 25, Jonathan tested positive for the virus and was admitted to the hospitals the next day after experiencing a variety of symptoms. A few days later, he had to be intubated. 

He eventually died on April 22. Of the 28 days he was in the hospital, 20 were spent on a ventilator. 

The morning he died, Katie was unable to make it to the hospital in time, but she shared the emotional letter he wrote to her and their two children, one of whom has what CNN described as “several medical complexities, in the days before his passing. And though it will never replace the final moments she lost with him, he died knowing she’d read these words: “I love you guys with all my heart and you’ve given me the best life I could have ever asked for.”

Anderson struggled to hold back tears, which prompted Katie to say, “It’s okay. Jonathan was good with words, huh?”

She and Anderson also discussed their two young children, Braedyn, 2, who suffers from “several medical complexities,” and Penelope, 10 months. 

“They don’t know that they lost the greatest human being and they’ll only know their dad through pictures and videos,” Katie cried.

Anderson, whose father died during open-heart surgery at the ago of 50, responded, “The only thing I’m going to tell you is they will know him through you and the love you have for him, they will feel like they know him because I know you will tell stories about him as they grow up and for the rest of their lives.”

Katie and her two children are now self-isolating in their home as they too have been diagnosed with the coronavirus. She said her “only comfort” right now are the “memories” she has of her husband.

Self-made billionaire by day, real estate tycoon by night. 

Kylie Jenner just expanded her property empire, this time with a palatial estate in the wealthy Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. According to TMZ, the 22-year-old spent $36.5 million on the compound, which boasts seven bedrooms and 14 baths. 

It appears Kylie may have even cut a deal on the purchase, as the listing price for the home is a whopping $45 million. 

The Kylie Cosmetics CEO has yet to confirm reports of the new digs, but the setting for her latest Instagram photo appears to match up perfectly with the home’s modern interior design. 

Over the years, Kylie’s amassed several multi-million dollar homes in the Hidden Hills area, where the majority of her famous family also resides. Her newest piece of property, which clocks in at 15,350 square-feet, is her most lavish yet.

There’s never been a better time to keep up with Scott Disick‘s social media activity. 

Eagle-eyed fans recently spotted the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star seemingly reminiscing on his and Kourtney Kardashian‘s years-long love story. And by reminiscing, we mean he liked a fan site’s photos of the former couple sharing a kiss back in 2012. 

In the flirty paparazzi shots, which were taken during a day out and about in Miami, Scott embraces Kourtney with a kiss and then grabs her booty, naturally.  

Despite the Flip It Like Disick star’s show of Instagram affection toward his ex, there’s no cause for concern about Disick’s future with current girlfriend Sofia Richie. Since their 2015 breakup, Scott, 36, and Kourtney, 41, have worked hard to maintain a close bond for the sake of their three kids—even going as far to include Sofia on family vacations. 

Sofia, 21, has also forged an incredibly close relationship with Kylie Jenner, which we’re told has also helped her bond with Kourtney.

A source told E! News last year, “Kourtney is thrilled that Kylie has found a bond with Sofia. She thinks it’s great for Kylie and loves that everyone can get along and spend time together. She has seen firsthand how much of a support system Sofia has been for Kylie, and it makes Kourtney feel even better about her dynamic with Sofia as well. There is no more awkwardness or tension like there was a year ago.”

Nowadays, Scott and Sofia’s relationship continues to grow stronger. The couple, who were first romantically linked in 2017, is self-quarantining with their loved ones in Malibu.

You just can’t deny chemistry these days!

We know, we know. Both Hannah Brown and Tyler Cameron are the first to admit they are single and not dating anyone during the Coronavirus pandemic. But as they continue to stay in touch and document their friendship on social media, fans can’t seem to get enough.

On Friday morning, the Bachelor Nation members hopped on Instagram Live where teasing immediately began. Today’s victim? Tyler’s boogers! When the group asked who has the most in the house, nobody hesitated to point the finger at Tyler.

“He has a booger in his nose at least 95 percent of the time that you’re talking to him,” Hannah joked.

Tyler replied, “I think I heard in an interview somewhere that you enjoyed my boogers though.”

Lo and behold, a fan site picked up on an interview clip where Hannah revealed her least favorite thing about Tyler.

“Picking his boogies,” she revealed. “But that shows that I really care because I didn’t want him to have boogies on camera. I just went in there.” LOL!

For some, this may be TMI to the max. But for other pop culture fans, it brings back all the memories of watching these two on The Bachelorette. And yes, we hate to remind you that Hannah didn’t even pick Tyler in the finale.

Ultimately, they’ve moved past any and all hurt feelings and remain close friends . 

“Tyler and Hannah both have expressed they are not in a position to date right now but do care about each other,” a source previously shared with E! News. “They have been social distancing together, hanging out and are having a lot of fun together. Hannah gets along with Tyler’s family and friends and everyone loves her.”

And if you need proof? Just watch an Instagram Live filled with plenty of chemistry. 

“Today is chores day. It’s filthy Friday,” Tyler shared. Hannah replied, “I hate I’m missing that.”  Perhaps she’s only half kidding.
