Ever wonder what celebrities are up to these days? Wonder no more because here’s a list of all the exciting things they are up to!
From attending the Academy Awards in a cute tiny dress to attending Coachella in a full-fledged ball gown, here’s a summary of all the exciting things the celebrities are doing.
Oscars
The 2019 Academy Awards were held last month and were probably the most fun awards show of the year. While there were no real surprises at the top of the lists, the acting nominees were a pleasant shock. In fact, several of the performances were so good that they’re being hailed as 2020 Oscar classics. Perhaps the most shocking performance was from British actor Robert Pattinson, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the titular character in the movie Joker. To celebrate his achievement, he wore an incredibly intricate and vibrant Batman costume.
The film’s director, Todd Phillips, said of Pattinson’s choice of attire, “He wanted to be darker and grittier, so I knew he was going to rock it.”
It seems like everyone wanted to have some fun at Pattinson’s expense this year, and Joker is no exception. The character he played, a comic book villain, was originally portrayed by Michael Jordan in 1989’s Halloween III: The Return of Michael Jordan.
Comedy
While several celebrities showed up to the Academy Awards looking fabulous, it was British comedian Simon Best who stole the show. Best is well known for his impression of German actor Heinz Kleeblack, whom he impersonates in the movie Downsizing. In the movie, he plays a small town mayor who tries to negotiate with the big city governor to save the town’s population. In an effort to win favor with the town’s inhabitants, he decides to dress like a Nazi officer and help them celebrate Hitler’s birthday.
Best’s performance as a stereotypical German dictator has become his trademark and has made him an icon of comedy in Germany. In the movie, he wears what appears to be a black Nazi uniform with brown boots, gloves, and a grayish hat. Needless to say, he’s become rather famous for this routine and has been performing it for years. He even has his own line of shirts and hoodies featuring the character that went viral online.
If you’ve never seen Best do Heinz Kleeblack, now’s the perfect opportunity to catch his brilliant performance. He will be appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August and runs through October, so you might have the chance to see him live. If not, all you need are Netflix and Spotify to enjoy the brilliant comedy about the worst German dictator of all time.

Halloween
If you thought the German actor impersonation was the highlight of the 2019 Academy Awards, you’ll love what’s coming next! Several well-known celebrities were spotted at the after-parties in their stunning dresses, and the photographers had a field day taking pictures of them.
One of the most famous attendees was Eva green, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Queen Marie. She was photographed walking hand in hand with her husband Daniel Craig, wearing a black dress with a white fur collar and a matching white high-heeled boot. While we’re on the subject of heels, let’s not forget about Lady Gaga, who won the Oscar for Best Costume Design for her extraordinary look as she sang the famous “Dreamers” song. She wore a blue dress with an image of a butterfly on it and added a touch of glamour with her red crystal-studded heels.
The year 2020 will mark the 100th anniversary of the devastating German air raid on Warsaw, Poland which killed thousands of people and forced the majority of the city’s population to flee. On that tragic day, British actress Vivienne Westwood famously donned a hat and glasses to imitate an air raid siren, drawing mockery from viewers who couldn’t comprehend why a fashion icon would make such an incongruous cameo.
Westwood has since defended her decision, telling Vanity Fair, “I thought it would be a very interesting thing to do. It’s not about being funny. It’s about paying tribute to the people that died.”
In April, we learned that Vivienne and her fashion label have created a capsule collection named “W.O.S.A.” (“We Occupied St. Albans”), which pays homage to the famous W.O.S.A. shirts worn by resistance members during the German occupation of France in World War II. The collection is composed of five t-shirts with designs inspired by the French Resistance. The designs are rendered in bold, stylish typography on a white background, with a black silhouette of a girl in a striped dress standing in front of a burning barricade.
In addition to creating a capsule collection in memory of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Westwood has also designed a t-shirt in honor of those who perished in the tragedy. The artwork features an image of the burning ghetto and a silhouette of a woman with a burning torch, and it’s available for purchase.
Cocktails
If you missed out on the chance to see Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Bieber at the 2019 Academy Awards, don’t worry, because he’s at least tied you to your screens with his hilarious performance in the Cocktails song “Hey, Lover”. In the upbeat pop number, he showcases his incredible vocals and draws laughs with his impression of various celebrities and the English language. He even makes fun of himself in the song, which is rare for a pop star. It seems like everyone wanted to have some fun at Bieber’s expense this year, and his Cocktails performance is no exception.
The song has become so popular that it’s racked up nearly 15 million views on YouTube and has inspired several memes and funny tweets. Several well-known celebrities, like Jessica Biel and Debby Ryan, were also given shout-outs in the song.
Bieber continues to enjoy massive popularity, so his career is undoubtedly on an upswing. In fact, he’s already been linked to several high-profile romances, including one with Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima. A representative for Bieber has yet to confirm whether or not the two are an item, but at this point, it’s looking unlikely. At least for the time being.
