Celebrities tell us that "we're all in this together" from the expansive mansions and pool size bathtubs. Thank God we all have household staff to cook and clean for us. I send my personal assistant out daily to buy toilet paper. My personal physician will be by shortly to administer my daily Covid-19 test - can't afford to get sick, you know. The public needs my social media posts.
Celebrities have a captive audience of traumatized people who are glued to the internet, eyes darting toward trending topics for clues to processing the unimaginable horrors looming just outside, and instead are finding Madonna bathing in a rose petal-strewn bath.
Stunts like Gal Gadot’s crowdsourced famous-person cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine” are tone-deaf in more ways than one. Most of these people cannot even sing; their contributions suggest that the very appearance of a celebrity is a salve, as if a pandemic could be overcome by star power alone.
