Masks ... so hot right now, so make sure you get one that makes ya look good out there in the middle of a global pandemic.

That's what a trendy menswear store in West Hollywood seems to be suggesting with its display of mannequin men sporting face coverings in the front window of the shop.

Check it out ... all the plastic models at Klein Epstein & Parker are wearing fashionable face masks that appear to have been made out of stylish pocket squares or a similar material.

So, it begs the question ... is this the next new accessory, whether it's required where you live or not?

As we reported ... cities in California, New York, Maryland and others are now requiring citizens to wear masks or face coverings out in public at essential businesses.

Even dogs and cats are getting in on the action to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

2 Chainz is looking out for his community ... by feeding the homeless instead of reopening his Atlanta restaurants for dine-in service.

The Atlanta rapper fed about 120 homeless people Monday, the day he was originally slated to reopen his 2 food joints, Escobar Restaurant and Tapas, for table service.

2 Chainz and his business partner, Snoop Dillard, distributed free meals outside their downtown Atlanta location ... and folks in need practiced social distancing while waiting for the free grub, standing six feet apart in line.

On the menu -- butter garlic chicken pasta and water. Snoop also hopped in a car and drove around the neighborhood, handing out free meals to people living on the streets.

As we reported ... 2 Chainz and Snoop were planning to reopen their restaurants Monday with Georgia lifting many of the state's coronavirus restrictions, but they reversed course after more consideration.

The restaurants are still open for take-out service, which is way safer than dining out.

Donnie Wahlberg says he had to pull the ol' Jedi mind trick to get his bro, Mark Walhberg in a new NKOTB music video, but turns he's in really good company!!!

Donnie joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" to download us on New Kids On The Block's new single, "House Party." He says it was easy to nab Boyz II Men, Big Freedia, Naughty By Nature and Jordin Sparks for cameos -- they all go way back -- but Mark was a different story.

Donnie says Mark's not trying to rekindle any thoughts of his Marky Mark persona -- so, he admitted playing a little sneaky trick to get him on cam. Well played, DW!!!

Hey, all proceeds from the song are going to COVID-19 relief via No Kid Hungry, which provides food to children who rely on schools for meals. So, it's all good Marky Mark.

Ya gotta see the video ... Carrie Underwood also makes a cameo, as does Donnie's wife, Jenny McCarthy.

Another major American college is being sued by students claiming they're not getting their money's worth with the campus shutdown, and this time it's all about the U.

The University of Miami's been hit with a new class-action suit filed by an architecture major who claims in legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- that she, and all others enrolled at the school, "lost the benefit of the education for which they paid" due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The student says in-person classes haven't been held since March 17, and claims online learning options offered "are subpar in practically every aspect, from the lack of facilities, materials, and access to faculty."

She says online classes are especially ineffective for an architecture student like herself because she's "unable to participate in model making" and "unable to receive in-person feedback from instructors."

The student says in addition to tuition, she and others have also paid miscellaneous fees -- a student center fee, a wellness center fee, an activity fee, an athletic fee, and a health and counsel center fee -- but they can't get the full benefit.

According to the docs, the student understands the university can claim it had no choice but to cancel in-person classes over COVID-19 concerns, but she says the school "nevertheless has improperly retained funds for services it is not providing."

In short, she wants a refund of any spring tuition money for which she and her peers didn't get the full bang. So, to speak.

Pastor Tony Spell should be thrown in jail for brazenly and outrageously violating a judge's stay-at-home order and conducting his Sunday service -- actually, his stay-at-home order is really house arrest -- but he's not going to jail.

As we showed you, Spell showed up and falsely claimed his congregations were practicing social distancing -- in fact, the video clearly shows the congregants were packed in. Spell also displayed his ankle bracelet as an act of defiance to the judge who ordered him to wear it after getting arrested for allegedly trying to run over a protester.

Now, here's what's really shocking. The judge could have cited Spell for contempt of court and changed his mailing address to the county jail, but he didn't do that. The judge is worried that Spell might infect the prisoners who are currently in jail, so Tony gets a pass.

The judge wrote, "in consideration of the involuntary population at the parish prison ... to avoid the exposure of this captive population to the defendant [Spell]; instead of his remand to jail until an indefinite date, the conditions previously set on his bond will remain the same."

So, in other words, Spell just goes home and stays on house arrest, until next Sunday when he'll probably defy the judge again.

The judge did say further violations will be addressed, but you gotta assume the same situation will exist next Sunday as well. There will still be prisoners who would be put at risk if Spell ends up behind bars.

"I hope both of you get the coronavirus! I hope you both die a long, painful death!"

A woman went nuclear on students playing football in a closed park Thursday in New Jersey -- wishing death upon them -- and school officials are now investigating over reports the woman is a high school math teacher.

The woman screaming at the kids has been identified by The Trentonian as Nicole Griggs, a math instructor at Steinert High School.

The paper cites multiple sources who confirmed her identity -- and public records which show she lives right next to the park where the incident went down.

The video is crazy ... the woman tells the kids they could be arrested for breaking the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders ... and when one of the students asked, "Wait, can we go over there?” she melted down.

"Park's closed," the woman can be heard yelling. "The whole area. Get it through your thick head. You are the reason we are in this situation. You are the problem, not the solution."

The woman continued, "Go ahead keep recording. Who are you going to show it to? Post me on social media. You’re the idiot doing the wrong thing. I’m just trying to save your ass and save your life. But, die. Okay?!"

The superintendent at Griggs' school district, Scott Rocco, told The Trentonian they have launched a probe into the video and promised to "address the issue immediately."

We reached out to Griggs for comment -- so far, no word back.

While the vast majority of the sports world is on hiatus, boxing fans in Nicaragua enjoyed some action this weekend ... while wearing masks and sitting 6 feet apart.

The Central American nation is one of the very few countries still allowing sporting events during the COVID-19 pandemic, so there was a fight card Saturday night at Alexis Arguello Sports Center in the capital city of Managua.

As you can see ... boxers, doctors, referees, judges, media members, ring girls and fans all wore face coverings for the event, though fighters were allowed to remove their masks to throw punches.

Spectators were subject to a temperature check outside the venue before getting in, and were reportedly told to disinfect their hands and shoes upon entry before being forced to sit a safe distance apart.

It looks like everyone acted as responsibly as possible and adhered to social distancing guidelines ... except the fighters, of course. Even at Friday's weigh-in they came face-to-face, but they did have masks on.

Organizers touted the event as a message that sports must go on, and former 2-time world champion and promoter Rosendo "El Bufalo" Alvarez even dismissed the threat of the coronavirus.

Alvarez said ... "Here we don't fear the coronavirus, and there is no quarantine," and added, "Nicaragua is a poor country and the boxers have to eat. They can't stay shut up in their house."

The promoter reportedly signed up 16 local boxers who needed work for the card. However, tickets were free to the event, and even so ... the arena was only filled to about 1/10th capacity.

Nicaragua has only had 13 COVID-19 cases and 3 reported deaths.

One of XXXTentacion's murder suspects fears he'll die from coronavirus while he's behind bars ... and now he's begging a judge to let him out on bond.

Dedrick D. Williams -- the first of 4 suspects arrested and indicted for the rapper's murder -- has written a letter to Judge Michael A. Usan claiming he's afraid of contracting COVID-19 because his immune system is very weak.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Williams gets right to the point in his letter, writing, “I am sending you this letter to save my life.” He claims a deputy at the Broward County main jail infected an inmate with the deadly virus and says he's afraid because he claims nobody's being tested at the jail.

Williams says he's being held behind bars because he violated probation but swears he's innocent of his involvement in the rapper's murder. He's asking the judge to allow him to bond out at least until the pandemic blows over.

As we first reported ... Derrick -- along with Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome and Robert Allen -- were indicted by a grand jury for first-degree murder. All 4 men were also charged with armed robbery with a firearm.

Williams says he's been behind bars for 21 months now and claims he's stayed out of trouble while in jail. And, get this ... Williams is hoping his history with the judge will sway him to take his side. He writes to the judge, “Since the age of 17 I’ve had you as a judge. I am now 24. Never have I missed court or failed a drug test since being in your courtroom.”

He also tried tugging at the heartstrings .... telling the judge he doesn't want his children to be without a father. But, don't forget ... Williams has a long rap sheet. As we reported ... he has at least 11 felonies under his belt, according to arrest records.

Williams ended his letter telling the judge, "I hope that you and your family are safe as well." The judge has not yet made a ruling.

Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings and Chris D'Elia used their star power and brilliant humor to help out struggling comics hit hard by the pandemic.

The comedians teamed with the world-famous Comedy Store on Sunset Blvd. to raise $100k for their less fortunate comrades in stand-up by creating 3 episodes of a live, on-camera podcast.

Dave was a special, unannounced guest on the final episode, which ended up being a virtual reunion for "Chappelle's Show." The comic legend brought it back to his old Comedy Central days, telling jokes alongside Neal Brennan, Burr and Donnell Rawlings -- and it was a huge hit.

Social distancing was in effect ... everyone joined in from home for some virtual comedy.

Whitney hosted the benefit's first episode, along with D'Elia, Bobby Lee, Andrew Santino, and Tim Dillon. Tom Segura hosted the second episode with Joey Diaz, Bert Kreischer and Theo Von ... but the big draw was Dave getting the band back together.

If you missed the live broadcasts Tuesday night, don't worry, the episodes are on YouTube and will also be available Monday on demand through The Comedy Store Channel on Roku, Apple TV and Xbox.
