Megan Thee Stallion — Rick and Morty

Savager rapper Megan Thee Stallion swept TikTok with the #SavageChal­lenge — she even got Beyonce on the remix. But, Stallion is not just a ‘classy, bougie, ratchet’ megastar — she’s also a Rick and Morty stan. “I’ve probably watched every rick and morty episode over 50 times lol,” she tweeted on Sunday. About her favourite episode, she replied: “When they keep rememberin­g [expletive] and new people keep popping up in the house but it’s really aliens.”

Hozier — Midnight Gospel

Irish singer-songwriter Hozier has finished all of season one of Netflix’s sci-fi adult animation, Midnight Gospel, in which a spacecaste­r (i.e. a video podcaster in space) named Clancy lives in a dimension called The Chromatic Ribbon. “Just watched episode 8 of @MidnightGo­spel, my poor heart. That was beautiful, what a gift @buenothebe­ar @ duncantrus­sell,” he wrote.

Hugh Jackman — Happy Valley

Australian actor Hugh Jackman told USA Today that he’s taken this time to catch up on old shows that he’d missed out on. “I’m watching a bunch of stuff that I never get time to do. I’m catching up right now on a British TV series called Happy Valley from 2014. So good. I can’t wait to get into The Last Dance, the Michael Jordan thing.”

Mindy Kaling — Dead to Me 2, Becoming

Mindy Kaling, creator of Netflix series Never Have I Ever, has been keeping busy with another Netflix show during quarantine: the funny and emotional Dead To Me 2, starring Christina Applegate as a widow who becomes embroiled in a quiet life of crime. A woman of many tastes, Kaling is also a fan of Michele Obama’s documentar­y Becoming.

James Corden — Normal People

James Corden said that the Hulu Original series Normal People ,a romantic drama set in Ireland, changed his life. The Carpool Karaoke host praised its two leads. “Underplayi­ng the impact of Normal People has had on me for just a moment. I honestly think it may have changed my life. It’s the best show I’ve watched in so long,” wrote Corden. “[Daisy Edgar-Jones] and [Paul Mescal] are extraordin­ary. It’s ALL extraordin­ary.”

Halsey — The Great

Singer Halsey is just like the rest of us this quarantine — she can binge-watch an entire series in one day. And she did just that with The Great (it’s on OSN in the region). “I can’t believe I watched all of @TheGreatHu­lu in one sitting. I am ashamed of myself but so satisfied. Also need a magenta court dress and the Emperor’s leather pants,” she tweeted.

Courtney Cox — Friends

Yep, even Courtney Cox loves a good Friends rewatch! The show’s very own Monica went on the Ellen Show over video chat and said she began to watch the sitcom to refresh her memory on what happens in it. “I didn’t remember at all! People ask me all the time, ‘Will you do a quiz?’” said Cox. “So, I started watching. I’ve been bingeing it. It’s really good, it turns out. And the Thanksgivi­ng episodes are my favourite.”

Chrissy Teigen — Love Island

Cookbook author and fan-appointed ‘Mayor of Twitter’ Chrissy Teigen has been bingeing British reality TV series Love Island for months now — and quarantine hasn’t slowed her down. “Love Island has evolved so much since the early days. No more chain smoking or drunken cries,” she tweeted recently. “They seem much more aware that they are, indeed, on tv.”
