The weekly list: celebrity stripped bare

Hard core Aussie rock and roll! Jimmy Barnes getting a haircut at home from his wife Jane Mahoney. I love the tatt through the plastic! And the slippers.

It’s been quite lovely hasn’t it? The glimpses into real life. In some ways they are more interesting, in others a little boring, sometimes comparable to viewing badly edited holiday videos. But it’s also a privilege to be invited to the viewing … do you know what I mean?

If you like a bit of celebrity culture you can google your favourites with the word lockdown, to find out if they’ve put anything a bit more real out into the universe lately. They probably have! And if you don’t want to do the research yourself, here’s a few that have crossed our path (don’t judge us, it’s just a random list).

  • Jimmy Barnes has been singing loads of songs at home with his family. Lots of laughs along the way.

  • Chris Martin from Coldplay sat down at his piano to sing, and it was nice to see him making excuses for his early morning croaky voice.

  • Jimmy Fallon has been filming The Tonight Show At Home with his kids as his sidekicks and his wife on camera. It’s quite watchable actually!

  • Jimeoin has been cracking a joke a day - with his kids rolling their eyes and telling him they don’t get the punchlines (or ignoring him completely).

  • Rod Stewart and his daughter Ruby Stewart combined a house tour with singing here

  • Patti Smith and her daughter Jesse Paris Smith did an Instagram Live performance here

  • Missy Higgins in a pink wig on her lounge room singing Let It Be here

  • And Vika and Linda Bull are posting every Sunday morning. Gospel songs here.
