Jennifer Aniston Lurked on Her Ex John Mayer's Instagram Live


If you’ve ever creeped on an ex‘s social media, don’t worry: You’re in great company. Jennifer Aniston just did exactly that on April 5, when she surprisingly popped into her ex-boyfriend John Mayer‘s Instagram Live.

Here’s what happened: Mayer was filming his weekly IG Live show Current Mood on April 5, specifically discussing the recent passing of Bill Withers, the iconic singer behind hits like “Lean on Me” and “Ain’t No Sunshine.” Mayer was friendly with Withers and joked that 100 percent of the things the icon said were useful while only 4 percent of what he (Mayer) says is useful. That’s when Aniston came in with a comment.

“For as long as I have been a fan of his or knew him personally, I never saw the man compromise on his principles. Ever,” Mayer said on his IG Live. “And that’s just more to take. That’s just more to take. Whether he was speaking to you or speaking to an interviewer 15 years ago, 14, 13 years ago, everything he said is useful. Four percent of the things that I say are useful. One hundred percent of the things he said were useful.”

To that last remark, Aniston replied with four laughing emojis, which, of course, the internet captured for eternity. See it for yourself, below.

Truly, is there anything more relatable than Jennifer Aniston watching John Mayer’s Instagram Live? (The couple dated from 2008 to 2009.) In this era of self-isolation and social distancing because of the coronavirus, people get bored. And what do you do when you’re bored? Insta-stalk your exes, obviously. Aniston really is just like us.

On her relationship with Mayer, Aniston told Vogue in December 2008, “He is a wonderful guy. We care about each other. It’s funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realize, We maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other. It’s painful. There was no malicious intent. I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that’s where it is.”

The ‘Hamilton’ Cast Reunited on John Krasinski’s Show Just to Surprise a 9-Year-Old Fan


The Hamilton original cast, Mary Poppins, Jim from The Office, and a very surprised nine-year-old girl joined together on Sunday night, April 5, for what must be the liveliest Zoom meeting since your boss’s husband walked in with no pants on.

The scene: The second episode of John Krasinski’s homemade quarantine talk show, Some Good News.

The reason: Aubrey, a nine-year-old in Jacksonville, was supposed to see Hamilton when the Broadway tour came to her hometown this week, but the show was canceled for social distancing reasons. “We’re home watching Mary Poppins Returns instead,” Aubrey’s mom tweeted, after the family missed the show. “At least we’re safe & healthy.”

The strangely heartwarming outcome: Watching a preteen light up as a stranger chants, over video call, “How does a bastard orphan son of a whore….”

Since Aubrey could not go to Hamilton, Hamilton came to Aubrey.

Welcoming the nine-year-old, who described herself as “a million” on the 1–10 scale of Hamilton fandom, Krasinski first promised to fly her and her mom to New York to see Hamilton after social distancing rules lift. He then introduced her to Mary Poppins herself, aka his wife, Emily Blunt, who played the “practically perfect” nanny in Mary Poppins Returns. The call was then interrupted by Hamilton writer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda, who costarred with Blunt in Mary Poppins (or as Krasinski said of him, “He was kind of like a backup dancer”).

Aubrey, who had grinned while speaking to Krasinski and smiled while meeting Blunt, gasped and mildly hyperventilated when Miranda joined the call. She became totally speechless when he was joined by Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr.…and then Anthony Ramos…and then Daveed Diggs and Phillipa Soo…and eventually, the full Hamilton original cast, who joined together to sing the title song from the musical.

It’s hard to overstate what truly good news this all is—that the Hamilton cast is staying safe and well and extremely on beat, that Daveed Diggs has such elaborate wallpaper, that Lin-Manuel Miranda is as electrifying over front-facing cam as he is live, that entertainers are going out of their way to make joyful art during dark times.

“Thank you for having me!” Aubrey, the world’s most polite nine-year-old, shouts at the end of the video. It’s nice to take a break from living through a major historical event to watch one that unfolded so long ago, it’s been made into a rap-filled Broadway musical. History has its eyes on all of us. So stay home, and call someone who needs some good news.

John Mayer Spoofed That Viral Celebrity ‘Imagine’ Video, and I Can’t Stop Laughing


Today’s little escape from the coronavirus comes in the form John Mayer spoofing the video of celebrities singing “Imagine” that went viral last week.

You know the video I’m talking about. Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Kristen Wiig, and several other A-listers recorded themselves singing “Imagine” by John Lennon and spliced it into a super-cut. The intention was to lift people’s spirits during this hard time—and while they meant well, the stunt didn’t land properly. Social media backlash was swift, and everyone from Charli XCX to Trevor Noah took a shot at spoofing it.

But the award for best spoof, hands down, goes to John Mayer, who joked in a new Instagram video that he was approached about doing the video but thought the celebs wanted him to sing “Imagine” by Ariana Grande, not John Lennon. He then recorded himself belting some particularly funny lyrics on Grande’s song and intermixed it with the original “Imagine” super-cut. The result? Pure hilarity.

“Gal Gadot and a bevy of other celebrities released a rendition of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ that went far and wide across the internet,” he said in his video. “She asked me to be a part of this and I totally misunderstood the assignment and thought they wanted me to sing ‘Imagine’ by Ariana Grande from her 2019 smash hit album Sweetener.” (Mayer mixed up his Grande facts right there. Sweetener actually came out in 2018, and the song “Imagine” is off her 2019 album Thank U, Next, but I’ll let it slide.)

Check his spoof for yourself, below.

Mayer has been serving up some excellent quarantine content lately. He has a weekly live show on IG called Current Mood that’s a must-watch. Other celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Katharine McPhee are also blessing us with periodic feel-good content. Keep it coming, pals. We need it.

Of Course Chrissy Teigen Had the Best Reactions During John Legend's Live-Stream Concert


To entertain people stuck at home practicing social distancing as a coronavirus precaution, John Legend decided to perform a free, live-stream concert on Instagram. And, of course, Chrissy Teigen had the best reactions during it.

For context: Legend is one of several artists, including Pink and Chris Martin, who are doing this for their fans. But those singers don’t have Chrissy Teigen sitting behind them while they’re performing, drinking wine and making incredible faces.

Fans captured just a few of Teigen’s reactions during the concert and posted them to social media. “@chrissyteigen during @johnlegend’s live concert is a mood,” one person tweeted, alongside a pic of Teigen drinking wine and looking unimpressed. Another fan captured a clip of CT pouring herself a generous glass of wine, which she says was for both her and Legend (but if I were her, that glass would be just for me).

Check out some more A+ Teigen reactions for yourself, below:

Legend announced on March 16 that he’d be playing a show on IG the next day. “My friend Chris Martin did a lovely little concert from home today. I’ll be doing one tomorrow at 1pm Pacific time. See you soon. We’ll try to get through this together,” he tweeted.

Teigen then posted, “I’ll be there!! because I literally have no choice,” to which Legend replied, “Chrissy Teigen has confirmed that she too will be there. Who knows what awesomeness and hilarity will come from her presence!? Tune in to my Instagram Live at 1pm pacific/4pm eastern/do the math for the other time zones please. See you soon.”

She certainly did bring the “awesomeness and hilarity,” as Legend so aptly put it. Honestly, if my future doesn’t include sitting atop a piano pouring wine as my EGOT-winning husband sings to his millions of fans, then what’s the point?

John Legend Is Appearing on This Is Us Season 4—and Chrissy Teigen Is Confused


During last night’s Golden Globes, NBC aired a teaser for new episodes of This Is Us and it featured a surprising face: John Legend.

The hit show about the Pearson family returns on January 14 and honestly, we expected some surprises and twists—such is the nature of the show. But if you had “John Legend as guest star” pegged as one of them, congrats, because we didn’t see that coming. Entertainment Weekly confirmed Legend’s appearance on the show, but no real details are known—other than the fact that he is sitting at a piano in the brief clip, indicating he may be playing himself.

The thing is, even his wife Chrissy Teigen is confused. A fan tweeted her, “Please tell us more about John on this is us.” Teigen replied, “I had no idea until now and still don’t get it? his song or himself?”

Music plays an important part in the show, especially for Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore). Both characters do currently live in L.A., where the real-life Legend and Teigen reside. So perhaps they come into contact with the famous singer and Voice judge in that way. But we shall just have to wait and see.

It was a big weekend in the Teigen/Legend house, as they also welcomed a new rescue puppy named Petey into the family. Teigen posted lots of adorable videos of the little guy with their kids, Luna and Miles—including a hilarious one where Luna calls her dad “John.”

“Welcome to the family, Petey! thank you @theellenshow and @wagmorpets for making us aware of this adorable little rescue family. this little guy grabbed our heart first and will hold onto it forever!” she wrote on Instagram.

New episodes of This Is Us begin January 14 at 9 P.M. ET on NBC. No specific date for Legend’s appearance has been announced.

Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta Reunited in Their Sandy and Danny Grease Costumes


Grease was the word in 1978—and it’s still going strong in 2019.

On Friday (December 13), the famous movie musicals stars, Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, reprised their iconic roles as Sandy and Danny in honor of a Meet n’ Grease sing-along event at the Coral Sky Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, Florida. Not only did Newton-John and Travolta attend the event, but they dressed as their famous characters for the first time since the film. “First time in costume since we made the movie ! So excited!!,” Newton-John penned on Instagram.

In the pic, she’s wearing a version of her good-girl Sandy look including the swingy pale yellow skirt, white blouse, and 50s-style yellow cardigan sweater. Travolta, 65, is in full T-Bird mode in a leather jacket, of course.

Travolta also shared the shot on his Instagram, along with video clips of the massive crowd enjoying the show. There’s even a moment backstage where you can hear him say, “Holy shit! This is my first experience.” His final photo is a picture of him and Newton-John in the red convertible, just like the parting shot of the movie—well, without the flying part.

According to People, Newton-John, 71, also changed into Sandy’s iconic black leggings and leather jacket later on in the evening.
