Emily Hampshire is Launching a YouTube Show to Raise Funds for COVID-19 Relief

Schitt’s Creek star Emily Hampshire has a new project lined up: starting April 1, she will be hosting a weekly live-streamed talk show on YouTube titled Humpday With Hampshire. The show will raise money for The Actors Fund to help members of the entertainment industry (not just actors but also writers, agents, makeup artists, technicians and others) affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The show will stream Wednesdays at 2pm PST/5pm EST on The Actors Fund YouTube channel and will feature virtual interviews with celebrities from their homes, sharing advice on how to get through this unprecedented time. The show will also feature quarantine-themed games like “Show Us Your Junk (Drawer)”, “What is your quarROUTINE”, and “Phone a Friend Roulette.”

“I couldn’t ask for a better creative distraction than hosting a show that not only helps raise money for an important cause, but also lets me connect with a dream team roster of guests without having to leave my apartment or even put on pants!” said Hampshire in a statement. “There’s such an insane amount of stress in the world right now, and if we can do something a little fun for all the stir-crazy people out there and help the industry, that means everything to me.

While the full roster of guests hasn’t yet been revealed, the confirmed initial lineup includes Schitt’s Creek co-star Annie Murphy, 2018 Olympic Bronze medalist Adam Rippon and Queer Eye’s design expert Bobby Berk. All proceeds from viewer donations will go directly to The Actors Fund which is a 501c3 non-profit organization.

Last week, a special one-night-only return of Rosie O’Donnell’s talk show, featuring virtual interviews with celebrities like Billy Porter, Sarah Jessica Parker and Idina Menzel, raised more than USD 600,000 in support of The Actors Fund. To continue fundraising for the entertainment industry, Humpday With Hampshire will live-stream weekly until film, television and theatre productions are back up and running.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
