Rita Wilson tells us about her nightmare experience battling the coronavirus and how she found hope memorizing Naughty By Nature's 'Hip Hop Hooray

“I was like, ‘Oh my goodness!’ after someone inboxed me with the link,” he says. “She has skills. She had the flow, the cadence … everything. A lot of our fans are like, ‘Wow, she really killed it! We don’t even know all the lyrics to that song.’ She threw everyone off guard.”

This is surreal. I’m so thankful for that song, but I’m so thankful that they didn’t think it was something horrible! We haven’t gotten to meet yet, but we’ve spoken on the phone and I’m really enjoying getting to know him. It’s been super fun. I did my show on a Saturday night at the Opera House and the next day we did a tour of the [Sydney] Harbour. That afternoon, I just started feeling tired. The next morning, I got up and did a morning show. Again, I was wiping everything down. We then got back to the Gold Coast, which is where we were staying. That night I remember thinking I was very achy and that food had no taste. I didn’t put it together yet because I have no sense of smell or taste. I just thought the food was bland.

We felt enormous strength from the prayers and well-wishes of the people. When my mind started to go dark, I’d feel buoyed by all the support that was out there for us in the world. I really, really felt it. I’m so thankful for that. Imagine if my flight had been delayed a week and I couldn’t come to Australia and he was down there doing the movie by himself? I would have been experiencing a little of what our kids were experiencing. “Are you really okay? What are you doing down there? What can you tell us?” It was a little bit easier because we were going through similar experiences.

I had to use the Urban Dictionary and try to assemble some meaning that I could attach to it because it was like learning Shakespeare if you’ve only ever readIt made me think, “Gosh, there’s really so much craft that goes into a song like this.” The song is nearly 30 years old, but it made me realize how far we’ve come from the days of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis where rap and hip-hop didn’t get much respect in the music industry, especially from the Recording Academy.

Glenn Frey of the Eagles taught me a really interesting thing since our kids went to school together. He said, “You can’t just play your music for your kids all the time. You have to let them play their music too since you’re going to learn from them.” I was really thankful for that bit of advice because it’s a bridge to connect with your kids. You can say, “Do you think what they’re saying on this song is the truth or do you think they’re making it up?” or “Wow, that’s kind of misogynistic.

Cool

What a *genius* ...

Where exactly does she say it was a “nightmare”? Must have missed that, or was it Rolling Stone putting words in her mouth.

Now talk to a grocery store worker or someone on the frontline...they are the heroes! celebritiesareNonessential
