“Ya know, we’re just trying to, like, structure our days,” Michelle shared about her daily activities. “I mean, everybody’s home. The girls [Malia and Sasha] are back because colleges are now online. So they’re off in their respective rooms doing their online classes and I think Barack is — I don’t know where he is. He was on the phone on a conference call. I just got finished with a conference call.”

She continued, “We’re just trying to, ya know, just keep a routine going. But we also got a little Netflix and chilling happening.”

Michelle also hopes everyone understands that if they are healthy, they’re lucky to have that during this time period.

“Be grateful for what you have and be ready to share it when the time comes. Because that’s really what it’s all about,” Michelle says. “Now we’re just happy that we’re together and everybody is healthy and safe — who cares about the other stuff?”

Ellen DeGeneres is bored.

While self-quarantined amid the coronavirus pandemic, the 62-year-old comedian and talk show host thought it was the best time to catch up with some of her famous friends.

First up, Ellen called Adam Levine to wish him a happy 41st birthday, where he revealed he was spending the day”just sitting here, enjoying my wonderful family. Not much other than that.”

Ellen then called up Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel.

“Justin, yep. What you doing?” asked Ellen.

“Nothing,” Justin answered.

“What’s Jess doing?” Ellen asked. “Oh, hey! What are you doing?”

“Nothing,” Jessica replied.

“Okay, call me in an hour,” Justin replied, before hanging up on Ellen.

She then decided to give John Legend and Chrissy Teigen a call, but their conversation wasn’t that riveting either.

“Hey, who’s this?,” John said, answering Ellen‘s call. John then put Chrissy on the phone who also put their son Miles, 22 months, on the line who said “Hi” to Ellen.

Dixie Chicks make a special appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, airing Monday (March 16), and open up about their comeback.

The ladies – Martie Maguire, Emily Robison and Natalie Maines – chat about their hiatus from music and what it was like to be among the first celebrities to feel the impact of “cancel culture.”

“I think we were one of the first people to feel that cancel culture,” Natalie tells Ellen. “What we said back then, or what I said back then, would not even be a thing today because it was really mild compared to what people say today.”

“But you know, on one hand everyone’s got this platform where they can say whatever they want to say,” Natalie continues. “But on the other hand this platform can move really quickly and ruin people’s lives.”

Later, the Dixie Chicks play “Who Would Natalie Rather?” to help their bandmate find a potential suitor, and hit the stage for a special performance of the title track off their first studio album in 14 years, “Gaslighter.”
