Baby Yoda, The Hulk and Mickey Mouse are coming to the rescue ... Disney is selling character face masks to protect kids, slow the coronavirus spread and donate to charity.

The Walt Disney Co. just announced the launch of a new line of face coverings for children and adults ... the masks feature some of Disney's most popular characters, and proceeds from sales are going to a medical supplies charity.

The non-medical, reusable cloth masks come in 4-packs for $19.99 ... and the Mouse House says it's going to donate up to $1 million in proceeds to MedShare, a nonprofit that delivers medical equipment and supplies across the globe. Disney will also donate 1 million masks to the charity.

As you know ... the CDC is strongly recommending masks and face coverings to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Disney says the pandemic is a challenging time for families and wearing any type of mask can be daunting, but it hopes the cloth character face masks will comfort folks and ease the transition to the new normal.

Hopefully, the masks do the trick ... children across the world are getting really sick with a rare inflammatory disease that has been linked to COVID-19.

It's a scary time for everyone ... but a Disney character mask might bring some joy to kids and adults.

Conor McGregor ain't just talking the talk ... he's walking the walk too -- stepping up to personally deliver supplies to hospitals in need during the coronavirus pandemic.

Of course, the Notorious has been one of the most outspoken celebrities when it comes to social distancing and public safety during the crisis ... urging politicians to take control.

"I urge all the way! 'All in' is the term we must use here," Conor said at the time. "Bit by bit will cost us lives. To see what is happening here in Ireland and all across the entire globe, is heartbreaking to me. "

On top of that, McGregor donated 1 MILLION Euros-worth of supplies to local hospitals in his native Ireland.

The UFC superstar did more than just send the supplies to the hospital -- he personally showed up to the Crumlin Children’s Hospital in Dublin on Thursday to undoubtedly boost staffers' morale.

Seriously ... can you imagine the kinda pump-up speech he gave the heroes working during the pandemic?! Had to have been electric.

Kudos on the gesture, Conor ... and a big "thank you" to the workers fighting the pandemic.

Beyonce's remix of Megan Thee Stallion's hit, "Savage," has everybody feeling a bit better during the pandemic ... but especially the founder of an IG Live strip club she name-checks on the track.

Justin LaBoy's the guy who started Demon Time -- a virtual stripper stage where women dance for celebs and norms alike -- tells TMZ how stunned he was to find out Bey knows about his biz ... and felt compelled to give it a shout-out.

If ya don't know ... Shaq, The Weeknd, Kevin Durant, Meek Mill, Drake, Lil Yachty, Yo Gotti, Diplo and Jake Paul have all signed in for Demon Time shows, but LaBoy says it took some time for it to be socially accepted. As he puts it, some celebs were using burner phones at first to watch the action.

Now that it has Beyonce's stamp of approval, though, LaBoy's expecting a big boost. Several million have already heard her sing, "Hips TikTok when I dance, on that Demon Time she might start an OnlyFans."

LaBoy says his new stripper service is the wave of the immediate future ... until there's a coronavirus vaccine. Watch his explanation -- it makes sense, especially in light of the expected changes at traditional strip clubs.

This is insane, but the Beverly Hills City Council somehow thinks it's a good idea to open the city up for what some rich folks consider to be super-essential services -- a neck job.

The Bev Hills city council voted 4-1 Wednesday to resume elective and cosmetic surgeries, allowing plastic surgeons to immediately reopen their doors to celebs and rich folk in need of work.

Bev Hills has one of the highest COVID-19 infection rates in all of L.A. County. The vote came just as Governor Gavin Newsom closed ALL of California's beaches to prevent the spread of the virus, so why the immediate need for a nose job?

The City passed an ordinance back on March 16 -- around the time California closed down -- imposing a moratorium on cosmetic and other elective procedures.

The lone dissenter on the City Council called the vote "extremely irresponsible."

The reversal should please lots of famous folks ... remember, "Botched" star and doc Terry Dubrow told us last month tons of celebs are clamoring for plastic surgery while they are out of the public eye, due to the outbreak.

What's interesting ... will this set up a battle between the CA Gov and the City Council of Bev Hills? Our $$$'s on Gavin.

An Illinois church and its pastor believe the Governor is treating them like second-class citizens during the coronavirus pandemic ... and they're suing to open back up.

Pastor Stephen Cassell and The Beloved Church of Lena, Illinois are going after Gov. Jay Pritzker over the state's stay-at-home orders, claiming places of worship are "no less 'essential' than its liquor stores to the health and well-being of its residents."

Cassell says that under Pritzker's current stay-at-home order, his prayer and worship services are off-limits because religious nonprofits are only essential when they provide food, shelter, and social services for needy people.

Cassell also claims Pritzker's declaration that churches are non-essential businesses "reeks of rank bigotry."

The church wants the court to step in and find the Governor's order of shutting down churches unconstitutional.

According to the docs ... the church believes this violates the constitutional rights to free exercise of religion, free speech and freedom of assembly.

Cassell adds that he and his parishioners are "fully willing to comply with proper constitutional guidelines ... but they cannot abide by an indefinite shut down of their church."

He's asking for an order to keep the Governor and government officials from interfering with church business and let them be.

The pastor adds the orders rest on "shaky legal grounds," but the Governor is trying to enforce them and extend them to the end of May and possibly beyond ... and they've had enough.

The church plans to reopen and hold a public worship service Sunday.

We knew it was coming ... now it's official -- the Little League World Series is officially canceled for the first time in the tournament's history.

Thanks a lot, coronavirus.

The LLWS -- which is always played in August -- has been running without a hitch since it began in 1947 ... but just like Cal Ripken, the streak was bound to end.

Little League president Stephen Keener broke the news Thursday ... saying league officials tried to come up with a feasible solution, but ultimately decided it wasn't worth the risk.

"After a thorough assessment of the impact the devastating COVID-19 pandemic has had on 6,500 community-based Little League programs in 84 countries and based upon the direction of governmental and public health authorities, and in consultation with medical professionals and our Board of Directors, Little League International has made the difficult and disappointing decision to cancel its seven World Series tournaments and their respective regional qualifying events."

He added, "This is a heartbreaking decision for everyone at Little League International, but more so for those millions of Little Leaguers who have dreamt of one day playing in one of our seven World Series events."

Sad.

The Org. also canceled all Little League tournaments -- including softball.

LLWS officials are hopeful they can play again in 2021.

U-Haul is pissed off at the NYC funeral home that used its trucks to store dozens of dead bodies, and the rental giant says it's cutting off the funeral home ... for good.

Police say the Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Home in Brooklyn rented 4 unrefrigerated U-Haul trucks to store about 50 corpses, and a passerby even called to complain about the awful smell.

Honchos at U-Haul are outraged and tell TMZ, “This is a wrongful, egregious and inhumane use of our equipment."

U-Haul also tells us ... "Our trucks are designed for household moves. Properly caring for the remains of people’s loved ones requires vehicles suited specifically for that purpose. Our trucks absolutely cannot be rented for this reason.”

Funeral homes in New York are being overwhelmed by the massive COVID-19 death toll, but U-Haul says this particular facility will have to look elsewhere for overflow storage.

President Trump finally coming around to the idea of wearing a face mask during a pandemic would be huge -- but a wax statue figured it out before he did.

The President's wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Berlin is sporting a new look amid the outbreak ... the famed wax museum has added a red mask protecting Trump's mouth and nose.

Of course, it's just wishful thinking on the part of Madame Tussauds ... while the CDC strongly recommends wearing masks and face coverings to slow the spread of the novel virus, POTUS has refused to get with the program.

There are some obvious benefits to wearing a face mask. Even though it's not a substitute for other defenses against COVID-19, like social distancing and hand washing, it's way easier than, say ... ingesting disinfectant.

There is a big update ... Trump's VP Mike Pence IS finally wearing a mask. He put one on Thursday while touring an Indiana General Motors plant.

Dr. Elvis Francois has gone from orthopedic surgeon to chart-topping recording artist during the pandemic, and while he knows which gig is more important ... he'd love to keep doing both.

The singing surgeon -- accompanied by Dr. William Robinson, his musical partner on piano -- has become famous for his inspirational solos covering songs like John Lennon's "Imagine" and Bill Withers' "Lean on Me."

This led to the duo releasing a 4-track EP, titled "Music is Medicine," with a Nashville record label ... and it's made it to Billboard's Emerging Artists chart, and it's topping some of the iTunes charts.

Dr. Elvis told us Thursday on TMZ Live ... it all "feels like a dream" and it's a win-win. Not only are people loving his music, but proceeds from the EP go toward the Center for Disaster Philanthropy's COVID-19 Response Fund.

However, his newfound fame doesn't mean Dr. Elvis is ready to leave the building ... as in, his operating room. The good doc says helping people as a surgeon is still his top priority, and singing's more like his favorite pastime.

Dr. Elvis tells us he plans to keep helping people in both capacities as much as possible, though. Talk about a talented multi-tasker.

BTW -- the doctor duo's cover of "Imagine" has gone over way better than the Gal Gadot-driven celebrity version last month ... which was widely criticized and led to Joe Rogan calling her a "f***ing idiot."

A basketball team in Taiwan just celebrated a championship like it was 2019 ... hugging and high-fiving on each other as if there was no such thing as coronavirus!!!

The surprising scene all went down after Team Beer beat the Yulon Luxgen Dinos in the 6th game of the Super Basketball League Finals in New Taipei City.

FYI -- the SBL is a semi-pro league in Taiwan ... and despite the global pandemic -- it's still playing games.

The scenes on the court Thursday were pretty surreal ... some photographers were wearing masks, but players weren't and while there were no fans, there was really no semblance of social distancing in the arena either.

And, as you can see in pics of Thursday's post-game trophy presentation ... there wasn't much concern for spreading COVID-19 at all there as well -- 'cause dudes were sweaty as hell within inches of each other with no face coverings in sight!!

Of course, Taiwan has been widely praised for its handling of the virus ... with only 429 confirmed cases and just six deaths.

In fact, other sports in Taiwan are playing games too -- with the Chinese Professional Baseball League staying busy as well.

Royal Caribbean Cruises royally screwed its employees with utter disregard for their health ... so they claim in a new lawsuit.

Mykola Molchun -- a crew member from Ukraine -- has filed a class-action lawsuit against the popular cruise line company claiming it was careless and continuously failed to protect its crew members assigned to work aboard the vessels despite RCC knowing about the dangerous conditions and explosive contagiousness associated with the deadly virus.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, Molchun claims RCC failed to follow even the most basic safety precautions after getting COVID-19 notice ... like timely quarantining crew members stationed aboard the vessel. The suit also brought up a St. Patrick's Day party RCC threw for over 1,000 crew members ... saying it showed "an alarming lack of caution."

The suit claims RCC did this even after it suspended future cruise operations for passengers on March 13 and even then still allowed crew members to continue mingling in unsafe conditions ... like allowing them to eat in buffet settings.

The cruise line industry has been taking in the chin as of late. As we've reported ... Princess Cruise Lines, for example, has been sued multiple times by its guests. And, now crew members are getting in on the action. The suit comes about a week after a third Royal Caribbean crew member died after working on a vessel with a COVID-19 outbreak onboard.

LeBron James says NO NBA EXECS want the 2019-20 NBA season to be canceled -- and insists a new report stating the contrary is flat-out wrong.

Bron's issue stems from a CNBC report Thursday which cites multiple anonymous NBA execs and NBA player agents who have expressed serious concern about restarting the season amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The report says execs are feeling the pressure from the players (via the agents) and are "pushing for an outright cancellation of the season so everyone can focus on safely resuming play next season."

But, Bron says that's just not true.

"Saw some reports about execs and agents wanting to cancel season??? That’s absolutely not true," Bron said.

"Nobody I know saying anything like that. As soon as it’s safe we would like to finish our season. I’m ready and our team is ready. Nobody should be canceling anything."

So, what's the truth? Probably somewhere in the middle. It's impossible for Bron to know what EVERY exec and agent is thinking ... but on the other hand, he is VERY plugged in.

Dallas Mavs owner Mark Cuban has spoken publicly about wanting to get the season going again ... but has STRESSED that he will only support a plan in which everyone (fans, players, etc.) are safe.

Of course, the NBA was the first major pro-sports league to suspend play after superstar Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 ... and every league followed the Association's lead shortly after.
