Self-isolation is starting to get to ALL of us.
By Nicole Pomarico — Written on Mar 20, 2020
At this point, we can probably all agree that this whole self-isolation thing in light of COVID-19 is getting pretty old. Staying at home sounded like fun at first, but there's only so much Netflix we can watch... and we're starting to really miss life as we knew it.
But if you're feeling that way, you're definitely not the only one. In fact, there are also many celebrities out there who are starting to get bored — though we're willing to bet their multi-million dollar homes with amenities like pools and fancy kitchens might soften the blow.
Here are celebs who are going stir crazy during coronavirus and the silly things they're sharing on social media because of it. Hey, we could all use a laugh at this point!
1. Ellen DeGeneres is bugging all of her celebrity friends.
We know that DeGeneres is seriously bored at this point, stuck in her home and not hosting her show. So instead, she's spending her time calling up her celebrity friends to find out what they're doing and posting the results on Instagram. In the video above, she's on the phone with Jennifer Aniston and she's also been calling stars like Justin Timberlake, Kevin Hart, and Tiffany Haddish. If you're also bored, it's definitely worth watching these videos!
2. Chrissy Teigen is keeping busy on Instagram live.
Whether she's giving cooking lessons or hanging out on John Legend's piano wearing a towel as he performs, Teigen has taken it upon herself to entertain the masses during these uncertain times. Oh, and like many of us, she's also spending a lot of time with her Nintendo Switch, especially since Animal Crossing: New Horizons has finally come out.
3. JoJo has created a coronavirus anthem.
Remember JoJo's early 2000s hit, "Leave (Get Out)"? Well, she's remixed this one, instead calling it "Chill {Stay In)." She's changed all the lyrics to fit COVID-19 self-isolation procedures, and it's definitely a bop. Maybe more musicians will begin to follow suit with their own songs?
4. Miley Cyrus is hosting her own Instagram talk show.
Anyone who's been following Cyrus on social media knows that she's been busy keeping herself entertained as much as she can
... and that means she's been going live on Instagram a lot. Now, she's hosting her own talk show on the platform. Wanna tune in? It's on Cyrus' Instagram every weekday at 11:30 PT.

5. Trevor Noah is attempting to copy Italians.
The videos of Italian people singing together on their balconies while under lockdown have been going viral, so Noah took a shot at doing the same thing from his balcony and shared the results. It didn't quite go over the same way, though...
6. Basically every celebrity in this video.
While gathering together celebrities like Gal Gadot, Mark Ruffalo, and Will Ferrell to sing "Imagine" by John Lennon together might have seemed like a good idea at face value, it's gotten a ton of backlash. People just aren't interested in celebrities trying to come together to entertain the masses right now, and that's okay.
Here's hoping all this self-isolation will pay off and we'll all be able to leave our houses soon. If not for us, for these celebs and their mental well being.
