It’s not just your old high school and college buddies that are using stay-at-home quarantines during the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to reconnect with you over Zoom. The casts and teams behind over a dozen beloved shows or films have reunited remotely in recent weeks just to pass the time. Many of the stars are doing conversations for charity, while others are staging full remote episodes or special performances just to perk up a fan’s day. In case you missed them earlier, here are all the reunions that took place since the shutdowns began, and we’ll add more as they inevitably take place.

Nanny Fine, Maxwell Sheffield and the rest of the gang are getting back together on April 6 — but not in the way you might think.
“The Nanny” creator and star Fran Drescher teased on her Twitter page last week, in response to a fan who wanted to watch the popular ’90s sitcom online, that there was a “surprise” in the works.
Awe hang in! We got a surprise for you! Announcement this week! Stay tuned! Weeeee!!! https://t.co/DTe4rE6IRc

But the announcement was not that the CBS show’s six-season catalog would coming to one of the soon-to-be launched streaming services like HBO Max or Peacock, as some anticipated, or that there would be a revival of the series, which centers on a cosmetics saleswoman who is fired from her job at a bridal shop and becomes a caretaker to a Broadway producer’s three children.

The leadup to the 2017 edition of the NewFronts has been hectic, with major media companies like BuzzFeed, Fullscreen, and Yahoo opting out of the annual series of pitches to potential advertisers. Now, another participant has decided to switch up its spiel. Digital media company Studio71 has announced that it will stream its NewFronts presentation online rather than hosting an in-person gathering in New York.
Studio71’s NewFronts address will be filmed at the company’s Los Angeles headquarters and will be streamed privately for advertisers. For each view the broadcast generates, Studio71 will donate $1 to We.org, which assists underprivileged youths around the world. During its presentation, Studio71 is expected to reveal new programs and initiatives built around its roster of partners, which includes top online video stars like Lilly Singh (pictured above) and Rachel Levin as well as Hollywood notables like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

One popular beauty blogger is warning against the detrimental effects of constant self criticism. Rachel Levin posted to YouTube a powerful video called "I Am Ugly," in which a younger version of herself points out the cruelty of her body shaming. "My lips are literally so small! My nose is so big! And my eyebrows are so bushy!" Levin says while staring at herself in a mirror and applying makeup. Then, a young girl appears in the woman's reflection, asking if Levin would say the same unkind words to her. "I'm you when you were little," the little girl begins,...

Another week. Another inconceivable online video milestone is surpassed by PewDiePie. Less than two months after the twentysomething Felix Kjellberg became the first individual on Earth with a YouTube channel to receive more than 10,000,000,000 views, the Swede’s online video repository for Let’s Play videos, weekly-or-so personal vlogs, charitable campaigns, and high-pitched irreverence also became the first YouTube channel with more than 40 million subscribers.
PewDiePie crossed the 40,000,000 subscriber mark sometime on Saturday, October 24. The biggest channel on YouTube hit 39 million subscribers back on Monday, August 31. That means it took PewDiePie 55 days to recruit the latest million members to his Bro Army, which equals out to more than 18,180 new subscribers per day, 757 new subs per hour, 12 new subs per minute, and roughly one new subscriber every 4.75 seconds.
PewDiePie’s subscriber acquisition rate is nothing short of incredible, though it’s no longer in a league of its own. Kjellberg's channel...

Step aside, PewDiePie. A 20-year-old YouTube beauty and lifestyle guru had the most-subscribed YouTube channel in the world in August 2015. Rachel Levin added an incredible 702,000 subscribers to her RCLbeauty101 channel during the 31 days of the month, giving the Pennsylvania native and burgeoning force on YouTube the #1 spot on the worldwide chart. Felix Kjellberg's familiar PewDiePie channel is nearly 100,000 subscribers behind in second place, having added 609,000 subscribers to its Bro Army.
In a very, very close third place is fernanfloo. The El Salvadorian gamer almost beat out an international icon, adding more than 607,000 subscribers during the month. In fourth place is elrubiusOMG. The Spanish gamer saw a 5% increase in his subscriber acquisition rate, ending the month with more than 574,000 new subscribers.
And rounding out the Top 5 is One Direction. The British boy band that will soon disband released several new singles on its YouTube channel, which helped it to more than 510,000 new subscribers.

A quartet of online video stars have a message for prospective smokers. Ryan Higa, Rachel Levin, Christian DelGrosso, and Jerry Purpdrank all appear in the Truth campaign’s latest video, which channels Admiral Ackbar and warns that “social smoking” is a trap.
In the video, the participating YouTube and Vine stars offer up various rationalizations for why it’s ok to smoke. As soon as the words leave their mouths, various image macro characters show up to deliver a recurring three-word response: “It’S A Trap!” The video certainly panders to its intended audience, but it also succeeds in getting its message across.
Truth, which has been active since the late 90s, has partnered with online video stars as part of its ongoing campaign to combat youth smoking. It previously enlisted several of the Internet’s most prominent influencers for an utterly ridiculous music video called “Left Swipe Dat,” which...

BroadbandTV, which now counts more than 4.7 billion views per month across 34,000 partner channels, call itself the fastest-growing major online video network on the Internet. In order to sustain its growth, Bbtv continually adds new partners to its network, and within the past few weeks it has signed deals with three notable names. YouTube personality DaveyWavey, electronic artist Major Lazer, and beauty guru Rachel Levin (aka Rclbeauty101) have all joined the BroadbandTV network.
Davey’s videos often discuss topics relevant to gay culture, and he frequently collaborates with his fellow YouTubers. Across three YouTube channels--one featuring sketches, a second serving as a home for vlogs, and a third showcasing workout tips--he has more than 1.3 million subscribers.
The vast majority of Levin’s YouTube presence, on the other hand, is concentrated on her primary channel, which we profiled in our YouTube Millionaires column earlier this year. To date, her array of makeup tips,...

We've been looking at each Meryl Streep Oscar nod and its competitive field. Previously: 78, 79, 81, 82, 83 and 85
Meryl Streep's first act was the Liberated Lady. The second was The Chameleon in which Meryl was always the lead, always had new hair, voice and body language and basically controlled Oscar's Universe. It was as if there was only 4 spots for Best Actress, one reserved for her in perpetuity. This second act ended with her intense immersion into notorious dingo-hating Lindy Chamberlain in A Cry in the Dark. [Editor's Note: Yes, I'll do a top ten performance list when "Streep at 60" wraps in mid July. I've heard your requests and I've been rewatching all the movies.]
Starting in 1989 Act III of Streep's career began but we'll get to that shortly. First, let's look at her competition in the last two years of her legendary Act II.
1987
the nominees were...
Cher, MoonstruckGlenn Close, Fatal AttractionHolly Hunter, Broadcast NewsSally Kirkland, AnnaMeryl Streep, Ironweed
