Coronavirus

Jimmy and Dee Haslam -- the owners of the Cleveland Browns -- are joining the fight against the coronavirus pandemic ... by pledging $1.5 MILLION to help Ohioans in need.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire country ... and there have been 351 confirmed cases in Ohio -- with more people infected by the day.

The Haslams announced their contribution on Monday ... saying $1 million will go to the Greater Cleveland COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund ... with the remaining $500k going to the Columbus Foundation's Emergency Response Fund.

"We are humbled by the tremendous work of people around the world in their efforts to help those impacted by COVID-19 and we wanted to try to positively impact those affected in our own communities of Cleveland and Columbus," the Haslams said in a statement.

"We are grateful for the individuals who are putting others before themselves and for the sacrifices they are making."

Kim Kardashian's beauty line is putting a pause on its operations because of the coronavirus -- telling customers their orders won't show up on their doorstep anytime soon.

KKW Beauty made the announcement Monday, saying because of statewide health orders being imposed in California ... they're temporarily closing the company's fulfillment center, where they ship out products. That means they can't guarantee any delivery dates at this time.

The company does say that as soon as shipping is allowed to resume, any customers' order in limbo at the moment will receive top priority. And, for anyone who doesn't wanna wait that long, KKW Beauty says it'll let folks cancel unshipped orders at any time for a full refund.

The only catch is your order has to have been placed on or after March 16, 2020 -- when most nationwide coronavirus policies started to take effect -- in order to be eligible for the refund.

KKW Beauty says it'll continue to keep its customers and fans updated on all its social media feeds, and will push forward with beauty tips and other content in the meantime.

Hundreds of thousands of folks are outta work due to the coronavirus pandemic ... and even smoking hot girls who get paid for social media posts are feeling the pinch.

Abigail Ratchford, who has a legion of 9 million Instagram followers, tells TMZ ... her IG sales are grinding to a halt amid the outbreak, which is alarming considering she's used to making around $500,000 a year from sponsored IG posts endorsing products, paid shoutouts and merchandise.

AR says she still has monthly deals that require her to post and keep some cash flowing in, but she's gotta get creative to produce content because she can't call on makeup artists, hair stylists and photographers due to Cali's "Safer at Home" order. Now, she's a one-woman band.

There is a sliver of hope for the self-proclaimed "Queen of Curves" ... Abigail says other IG models are paying her for shoutouts to drive traffic to their pages, and it could continue because it's harder than ever to bring in new followers.

The outlook is much worse for Ella Rose and her 811,000 IG followers. Ella, who is Julian Edelman's baby mama, tells us she hasn't had any new ad inquiries since last week, and she's used to getting a few daily pitches from companies asking to pay her for tagged posts.

Ella says she had 2 shoots scheduled this week, but the photographers both canceled. Now, she's using a timer to shoot her own content.

Another IG model with over 2 million followers tells TMZ ... a lot of her prepaid posts are being put on ice, because some of the products were from China and the companies are worried about backlash and insensitivity surrounding COVID-19.

What's more, she says a lot of her long-term contracts are ending in the next couple weeks, and companies want to wait until April to renegotiate.

Desiree Schlotz, who has 423K IG followers, tells TMZ ... things are pretty tough right now, and it's hard to get content when you're limited to only shooting inside your house, though it's forcing her to be more creative and think outside the box.

Desiree says she's had brands back out of working with her because of the sensitive nature of the coronavirus climate, and other people are delaying payments or scrapping plans for paid posts because everyone is losing work.

Bottom line ... pretty much every Instagram model is as worried about the future as the typical American worker. Tough times, indeed.

Tekashi 6ix9nine is so desperate to escape the coronavirus he'd rather take his chances outside of prison than risk the disease killing him while he's locked up.

6ix9ine's attorney, Lance Lazzaro, wrote a letter to the judge Sunday night citing serious concerns for Tekashi's wellbeing behind bars. Lazzaro says Tekashi suffers from asthma -- making catching coronavirus that much more serious -- and he wants him out ASAP.

In the letter -- obtained by TMZ -- Lazzaro also reveals Tekashi was diagnosed with bronchitis and sinusitis late last year and was hospitalized for treatment.

According to Lazzaro, the rapper has recently had shortness of breath, but prison officials won't let him see a doctor.

Tekashi has only a few months left of his 24-month sentence ... but Lazzaro says Tekashi can't risk staying locked up any longer ... his life is on the line.

Harvey Weinstein has tested positive for coronavirus ... TMZ has confirmed.

Sources tell us that the incarcerated former movie mogul has, indeed, been confirmed as one of two inmates at the Wende Correctional Facility in New York to have the viral infection. He was moved to the prison recently after being taken to Rikers Island following his rape and sexual assault conviction earlier this month.

It's unclear when exactly Weinstein might've contracted the virus, but we're told he's been in isolation since he was taken to Rikers a few weeks back. Our sources also say he hasn't had contact with his family or lawyers since the diagnosis.

The reality -- Weinstein is among the most at risk for serious symptoms.

Weinstein has looked incredibly frail of late, making appearances in court with the help of a walker and aides. He's also been hospitalized in New York a couple different times over the past month or so -- complaining of chest pains and receiving cardiac treatment.

Weinstein might just be the tip of the iceberg in NYC and NY State prisons -- at least 19 inmates in NYC prisons and 12 employees have coronavirus, the NYC Dept. of Corrections announced Saturday. It's unclear what might be happening at a state-wide level.

A rep for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision -- which currently has custody and supervises Weinstein -- tells TMZ ... "With each confirmed case, DOCCS worked with the Department of Health to identify any potentially exposed individuals in order to provide notifications and to stop the spread of the virus."

It's that time of the day again -- DJ D-Nice's virtual dance party is once again in full swing ... and the celebs who've already dropped in are quite the eclectic bunch.

The renowned disk jockey is hosting another night of #ClubQuarantine on his Instagram Live right now ... and the groovy tunes are already drawing famous faces handles from Mariah Carey, Spike Lee, Donnie Wahlberg, Brandy, Quincy Jones, Timbaland, Tyson Beckford DJ Pooh, Usher, Questlove, Jadakiss, Raekwon and many, many more who are listening.

These "parties" have become the biggest thing on the Internet over the past 48 hours -- with D-Nice slapping old funk tunes from his deep crate of music. Looks like he's doing it from his own home, and stars seem to be digging it ... judging by the comments of love.

On Saturday, celebs like Rihanna, Oprah, Michelle Obama ... and even Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. Looks like just as many people will be tuning in for a second go-around.

With the coronavirus spreading by the day, you'd think people would think twice about having kids right about now -- but it's full steam ahead for Hollywood on multiple fronts.

Several different stars over the past couple weeks or so have been either announcing pregnancies or announcing the births of their new children -- and while some have expressed concern over the global pandemic ... most seem to be simply overjoyed.

The latest baby news came from Meghan McCain, who told the world she had a bun in the oven on Sunday ... and coronavirus was certainly on her mind as well. In her Instagram post, she wrote ... "I consulted with my doctors and they advised me that for the safety of our baby and myself, I should be extra vigilant about limiting the amount of people we come in contact with." She also says she'll be doing 'The View' from home via satellite.

Of course, Amanda Bynes just said she was pregnant as well ... and didn't utter a peep about coronavirus concerns. And yes, the big kahuna was Katy Perry -- who debuted her baby bump in a music video in epic fashion. And that was just two weeks ago when this craze was picking up.

Other celebs have actually welcomed new family members into their household during peak coronavirus fears -- including Mike Epps and Hasan Minhaj ... who proudly showed off their newborns on social media over the past couple days ... no real mention of coronavirus in their captions or anything.

Now, to the new parents' credit ... they were getting busy months ago at least 9 months ago, before any of this coronavirus news was known. So, not much they can do but see it through and hope for the best -- especially since babies have such weak immune systems.

The Big Apple doesn't want its residents banging like rabbits during the coronavirus outbreak -- so it's got a set of strict (and graphically specific) guidelines on how to get it on during these contagious times.

The NYC Health Department posted recommendations over the weekend on how folks can have sex, while keeping the risk of catching COVID-19 low. For starters, they say sex with another person probably isn't a good idea right now ... so, they suggest masturbating.

If you are going to have sex with someone else, they have recommendations on who to bang first. The department says if you must, sleep with someone you live with, and try NOT to screw anyone outside the household if you can help. They also say limit the number of partners you're hooking up with ... which probably means no orgies either. Aw, man!

The most graphic suggestions come in the form of rim jobs (anus to mouth contact) and oral sex too. They say don't eat ass right now -- it probably ain't safe -- and if you're gonna get slurped up by a partner ... use a condom or a dental dam to reduce saliva swapping.
