If there’s one thing that our recent surreal health crisis has really driven home about the old saw about celebrities being people, too, it’s been watching the famouses of Planet Earth kind of vaguely flail around over the last week or two, clearly unsure of what to do with themselves now that the constant influx of activity and attention that keeps them functioning has suddenly dried up. Sometimes, that loose energy ends up producing some actual good, as with Project Runway’s Christian Siriano and his efforts to help New York keep up with its desperate need for medical masks. And sometimes it turns into Gal Gadot leading an internet singalong about how nice it would be if everybody was nice.
