Kip Moore launched an acoustic video series that gives fans insight into his upcoming studio album titled Wild World. The first video available in the series is a version of the album’s title track where he performs in the Californian desert.  

According to the series description: “The ‘In The Wild Sessions’ began as a way to tell the story of these songs in a bare-bones kind of way . . . We shot five videos in the (Mojave) desert and then when our plans changed a little with everything going on, we shifted gears while I’m here in Kentucky in isolation. The scenery here in Red River Gorge is also one of my favorite places to be and so I’m looking forward to also sharing this pocket of the world in some of the videos to come.”

Kip’s Wild World album will be released on May 29th.  Take a look at the “Into the Wild” sessions at the link here.

“Good Morning America” host George Stephanopoulos revealed Monday that he’s tested positive for the coronavirus. Stephanopoulos told co-host Robin Roberts on Monday morning, “I feel fine.” 

Stephanopoulos’ wife, Ali Wentworth, had come down with COVID-19 and tweeted that she’s “never been sicker.” Her husband has been taking care of her, their children and doing his TV job in the interim. 

Stephanopoulos said the only potential symptoms he has felt were a lower back ache he’d attributed to a hard workout, and a briefly diminished sense of smell.  Stephanopoulos told viewers that his wife Ali Wentworth is doing “much, much better,” has now had no fever for five days, and is getting out of bed more.

The Food Network announced a new show starring Amy Schumer and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, tentatively titled “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook.”  

With more than 95% of Americans under some version of stay at home orders amid the coronavirus pandemic, Schumer is opening up her kitchen in a new self-shot series. The series will consist of eight 30-minute episodes in which Fischer cooks farm-to-table cuisine and Schumer assists.

Schumer in a statement: “Chris and I are excited to make this project with Food Network combining our two passions — for Chris it’s cooking and for me, eating. With everything going on in the world right now, we are so grateful to be able to share an entertaining and informative experience with viewers. And it is more important than ever to look out for one another, so Chris and I will be making donations to causes dear to us — The Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ Fair Food Program and select domestic violence organizations.”

No premiere date has been set but it is expected to arrive this spring.

Parts Of U.S. Could Reopen In May As Coronavirus Nears Peak

tmp35acfbf6-c7d0-4588-b103-1929a18da117-jpg

On Sunday, public health officials discussed the possibility of partially reopening parts of the economy from government-mandated lockdowns as soon as next month, despite U.S. coronavirus infection and death totals continuing to climb. As of Sunday morning, there are more than 530,000 confirmed infections in the United States – accounting for roughly 30% of the more than 1.8 million people infected around the world. More than 20,000 Americans and more than 110,000 people globally have died.

The number of confirmed cases in the U.S. climbed by nearly 200,000 over the course of the past week, however, White House officials are pushing to reopen the economy as quickly as possible, given the catastrophic economic damage that has unfolded by shuttering nonessential businesses across the country.

More than 16 million Americans filed initial unemployment claims during the final two weeks of March and in the first week of April. Gross domestic product numbers during April, May and June are expected to be among the worst in modern history. Some estimates see the unemployment rate climbing as high as 30%.

During an appearance Sunday morning on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said a partial May reopening could be possible in some parts of the country. But he warned it would have to be done on a rolling basis – and that some particularly hard-hit parts of the country may need to wait longer. “It is not going to be a light switch that we say ‘OK, it is now June or July or whatever, click, the light switch goes back on.’ It is going to be depending on where you are in the country, the nature of the outbreak that you’ve already experienced and the threat of an outbreak that you may not have experienced,” he said, stressing that a reopening of the economy would not be “one-size-fits-all.”

NBA Preparing 25-Day Plan To End Coronavirus Hiatus

tmpdd2dde8d-e2d9-4f28-9a2f-8b30b824ee83-jpg

The NBA’s coronavirus suspension is now in its second month, and the league office has yet to announce a target return date for the 2019-20 season. The league office is currently preparing a 25-day, “back-to-basketball plan,” according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. Individual workouts would last 11 days under the NBA’s potential plan, and teams would then come together for a 14-day training camp. If parts of the nation begin to re-open, the NBA could begin a four-week program to resume the 2019-20 season.

The NBA has explored a slate of plans for resuming games, including a potential quarantined playoffs in Las Vegas. The league could also alter its schedule upon a return to play, with the possibility of a canceled regular season and shortened playoffs both on the table. Labor Day weekend is the league’s prefered end date for the 2019-20 season.
