Apology
Dr. Drew Pinsky is admitting that he was wrong. For months, Dr. Drew had been downplaying the coronavirus pandemic on a slew of cable news show, consistently calling it a "press-induced panic." On April 5, he apologized and took responsibility for comments he made in February and March. "My early comments about equating coronavirus with influenza were wrong. They were incorrect," he said. "I was part of a chorus that was saying that, and we were wrong. And I want to apologize for that." He added, "I wish I had gotten it right, but I got it wrong."

Wedding postponement
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are going to have to wait a little bit longer to say "I do." The singer told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that their wedding has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. "We will see what happens now. Honestly, I really don't know what's going to happen now as far as dates of anything like that," J.Lo said. "We're kind of just in a holding pattern like the rest of the world." J.Lo and A-Rod never officially announced their wedding date, but many believed it was set for this summer. "Again, it's just something we're going to have to wait and see in a few months how this all pans out," she said.
Farewell "Family"
What a ride! After 11 seasons and too many Emmy Awards to count, "Modern Family" has signed off. On April 8, the final episode of the comedy aired on ABC. After the last installment aired, many of the show's stars took to social media to attempt to sum up their thoughts. "Just like that, it's over," Jesse Tyler Ferguson wrote. "11 years of my life spent with these beautiful souls. you all have played such a huge part in the forming of my being. I will never forget. I'm definitely gonna miss this." Sofia Vergara said, "I will love my american family forever❤️❤️❤️❤️." Julie Bowen posted a screenshot of a Zoom chat with her castmates. "Thank you to my fake family. I love you," she said. Perhaps Sarah Hyland summed it up best with an old cliché. "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened," she wrote on Instagram.
A glimpse into their marriage
Tom Brady gave a rare glimpse into his relationship with supermodel Gisele Bundchen this week, admitting she "wasn't satisfied with our marriage" for a while. "A couple of years ago, she didn't feel like I was doing my part for the family," he told radio host Howard Stern on April 8. "She felt like I would play football all season and she would take care of the house, and then all of a sudden when the season ended, I'd be like, 'Great, let me get into all of my other business activities. Let me get into my football training.'" Soon, for the sake of his marriage, Tom was skipping voluntary football activities, something he never did in the past. "She's sitting there going, 'Well, when are you going to do things for the house? When are you going to take the kids to school and do that?' And that was a big part of our marriage. I had to, like, check myself. Because she's like, 'I have goals and dreams too.'" He noted that the couple attended marriage counseling after Gisele wrote him a letter about the status of their marriage. "She wasn't satisfied with our marriage," he said, "so I needed to make a change in that."
Dating rumors
So what exactly is going on between "The Bachelor" stars Peter Weber and Kelley Flanagan? The duo has been quarantining together in Chicago at Kelley's place; she's appeared in several of Pilot Pete's Instagram videos throughout the week; and several "Bachelor" alums have said that Peter and Kelley are dating. But on April 6, Peter downplayed dating rumors, saying the two reconnected in Miami during Super Bowl weekend. "Are we dating? No. Do I love spending time with her? Absolutely," he said on Nick Viall's April 7 podcast. "We're not dating. Could I see that in the future? Yeah, of course. I'd be extremely lucky and very happy if that happened. Of anyone, I'm the last person that needs to rush into any kind of relationship. I just had an engagement that didn't work out. I just was trying to pursue things with another woman that didn't work out. That's why right now, I'm just taking it really, really slow."
Engaged
Nothing like getting engaged in quarantine! "The Real" co-host Jeannie Mai and rapper Jeezy announced on April 6 that they were engaged. The talk show host's rep told People magazine that Jeezy planned to pop the question during a trip to Vietnam, but the coronavirus pandemic forced them to cancel their trip. So instead, the music star filled his house with Vietnamese decor and food and proposed while they quarantined. "I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life loving you….YES," Jeannie captioned a photo with Jeezy on Instagram. "Thank you, everyone, for celebrating this journey with us. We are praying love over everyone from here."
Same ol' "View"
Joy Behar ain't going nowhere! On April 8, Variety reported that the controversial co-host of "The View" had "set an exit date" from the ABC show and planned to retire in two years. Not so fast! "They're always talking about me leaving the show," Joy said on the show on April 9. "But I'm not leaving the show." She added, "Let me say that rumors of my retirement have been greatly exaggerated. You know, here's the thing, what am I going to do? This pandemic has changed the game. At one point you think, 'Gee, I could retire and take a cruise around the world.' I won't even watch reruns of 'Love Boat' at this point. So where am I gonna go?" Joy's contract is up 2022, but ABC has already said she'll always have a chair on "The View" if she wants it.
In the battle
Pink was opening up all week about the battle with coronavirus that she and her 3-year-old son, Jameson, endured. Unfortunately, the little guy had it worse that Pink, noting his 103 degree fever. "At one point when he started throwing up and saying he had chest pains and it hurt to breathe, that's the point where you just kind of like, 'OK, are we going to the hospital? What are we doing right now?' Because this is the scariest thing I've ever, ever been through in my whole life," she tearfully told Ellen DeGeneres on April 9, adding that doctors told her that there was nothing they could do. Their advice: stay home. The tyke and his mom are now feeling better and both are on the back end of the virus. During her battle, Pink never experienced a fever. "I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't breathe and I needed to get to a nebulizer for the first time in 30 years," she says. "I have this inhaler that I use, this rescue inhaler, and I couldn't function without it, and that's when I started to get really scared."
