Obviously Rita Wilson appreciated her husband Tom Hanks chivalrous response to a fan shoving her to get closer to him – among other things. For Father’s Day, she posted this appealing photo captioned “Happy Father’s Day!!! He can do it all”

Rita Wilson and Ellen Degeneres chatted about Covid-19 on Ellen today and Rita revealed a pertinent piece of information. Rita and hubby Tom Hanks were the first celebrities diagnosed with Covid, and they announced it on March 12, 2020, from Australia where they remained in isolation for two weeks. Rita told Ellen that 9 months after her recovery she still had antibodies. BUT, two months later, Rita was tested again and had NONE! Presumably she can now catch Covid again, and needs vaccine like everyone else. This of course implies that we will probably all have to be vaccinated for Covid EVERY YEAR just like we get flu shots! Good news for the drug manufacturers…

Somehow it’s comforting to hear that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson tested positive for coronavirus. They are being totally open about the situation and plan to reveal everything as it happens. Tom described his and Rita’s symptoms so far, and they weren’t alarming. They are in Australia where he was preparing to play Colonel Tom Parker in a movie about Elvis Presley. Tom says he expects to be tested and isolated for as long as necessary and is “taking it one day at a time.” We look forward to his diary of events…

You’ve gotta love Rita Wilson for being SO open about her breast cancer and, above, raising money for the cause. She was diagnosed in 2015 and had a double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery, and during the ordeal, she learned a LOT. She detailed her entire healing process in a story she wrote for Harper’s Bazaar, along with important info she picked up along the way – like anxiety has NOTHING to do with cancer, and how mindful meditation helped her state of mind. She even talked about bra shopping afterward – her intimate story will help many women get a grip on their disease and treatment.

Tom Hanks is dolled up like Fred Astaire in a white tie and tails and Rita Wilson put on an evening gown to attend a huge event in London. They were invited to a very exclusive state banquet at Buckingham Palace with 171 celebrities and dignitaries plusPresident Obama and Queen Elizabeth. Certainly this Hollywood couple will add some sparkling conversation to the table. And the Obamas have never looked better!
Who would have guessed that TOM HANKS would be the buyer of the most expensive residence sold in California so far this year? The “Big” star spent over 26 million dollars on a swanky ultra-modern 14,500 sq ft Pacific Palisades compound. Since his two sons with Rita Wilson are almost grown up, it might sound surprising that Tom is moving from a 7000 sq ft house into such a big one. Actually he IS downsizing in a big way. The new home has only four bedrooms and five bathrooms. You can imagine how LARGE the rooms are! And the bonus rooms must be spectacular. We assume Tom has put a lot of thought into this purchase – our favorite movie of Tom’s is “The Money Pit.”
