Two of the Royal schoolchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, have been tested for coronavirus. Apparently, a classmate at their London private school has been exposed to the deadly virus. Prince William and Kate Middleton have kept the kids out of class until the laboratory tests are complete.

Taylor Swift will headline the first all-female lineup of the March Madness Music Festival. Taylor hand-selected Halsey and Tayla Parx to join her for a free show during the NCAA basketball tournament finals in Atlanta. All year, Taylor will perform only a few times in order to be with her ailing mother. Halsey is in the middle of her Manic World Tour. Tayla Parx is a songwriting genius behind “Love Lies,” “High Hopes” and “7 Rings.” (Atlanta Magazine)

Kendall Jenner would give up being a world-class model to being the personal assistant to a world-class singer. Kendall said (quote) “I’d pick Beyoncé. I wanna know what she has for breakfast, I need to know what TV shows she watches. Like do you watch Bachelor in Paradise? If so, we should be best friends.” (E! News)

Last week, Sofia Vergara taped the series finale of Modern Family. This summer, with her new-found free time, she joins three other foreigners to judge America’s Got TalentSimon Cowell (England) Heidi Klum (Germany) and Howie Mandel (Canada). (TV Line)

Nicki Minaj sparked criticism for bringing her husband to a speaking engagement at St. Jude Home for Girls in Trinidad. She was there to donate $25,000 and inspire the student. However, Kenneth Petty is a registered sex offender. He probably should’ve been banned from the all-girls school campus. Nicki too, considering she defended her convicted pedophile brother.

Steven Seagal hid from the government a million dollar payment for promoting Bitcoin. They gave him a quarter-million in cash and $750,000 worth of B2G tokens. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission caught up with his deception. Ironically enough, Seagal once starred in a movie called Above the Law. (Yahoo Finance)

China is the epicentre of the worst virus outbreak in decades. Yet the Chinese government is not all bad. They’re helping Pakistan battle the worst swarm of locusts in two decades. China plans to send 100,000 ducks to Pakistan. In a single day, one duck can eat more than 200 locusts. (BBC)
