You weren’t the only one who picked up a weird hobby during lockdown — Joe Jonas and wife Sophie Turner did too.
In a new interview with WSJ Magazine, Joe talks about the unexpected activity they became obsessed with while staying at home, and how it even led to arguments between the two.
“I got very into LEGO building,” he says. “My wife and I probably built 10 monstrous LEGOs.”
Joe adds, “It was also quite funny, because I was super focused on helping her but then I was getting easily distracted and playing Fortnite. At first we argued about it and then it was like, she loves her organization and it’s completely different from the way I would build it: ‘You do you; I’ll be here for support.’”
He says he began helping from more of a distance, making cocktails for the two of them as Sophie continued to build. Their biggest LEGO accomplishments included building the Batmobile and the Harry Potter Wizarding World.
Nowadays, Joe tells WSJ he starts his morning by meditating, learning Italian on the DuoLingo app, writing a gratitude list, listening to a news podcast and scrolling social media, all before starting his daily exercise routine.

Slash, of course, has long worked with Gibson on various signature guitars, and in 2017, he was named the company’s first Global Brand Ambassador.
“It’s an honor to be the first release on the new, Gibson Records,” Slash says in a statement. “It’s a zenith in our partnership for sure and having worked so closely with Gibson for so long, I know they will be a label that genuinely supports their artists creatively. Not just me, but all the artists they choose to work with. It’s perfect.”

In a video captured by The Shade Room, DaBaby brought out Tory Lanez during his Rolling Loud festival performance Sunday night in Miami Gardens, Florida. While performing at the Hard Rock Stadium, the Charlotte, North Carolina, rapper brought out the Toronto artist in a masked-up costume.
“I’ll give somebody out here a million dollars if they can guess who in here,” DaBaby said to a packed crowd. “I got a million dollars right now if you can guess who…Who you think?”
DaBaby then pulled the head off of the costume, revealing Tory Lanez, who allegedly shot Megan Thee Stallion in both of her feet in July 2020. Lanez immediately hopped into performing his single “SKAT,” which also features DaBaby. Many were puzzled and surprised at Tory’s appearance, which came shortly after Megan’s performance of “Cry Baby” and “Freak Nasty.”
As previously reported, DaBaby and Megan went back and forth on Twitter last month regarding a recently filmed music video for “SKAT.” Megan also took issue with DaBaby retweeting the post, writing, “I guess DaBaby and Tory Lanez are cool now bc they both shot somebody and don’t have to do no jail time.”
Lanez is the alleged shooter in an ongoing case stemming from the night of July 16, 2020, where Megan was shot while exiting a vehicle in the Hollywood Hills. In regards to the shooting, Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, pleaded not guilty during a court appearance last November to charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, personal use of a firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
Ariana Grande can barely contain her excitement about her upcoming stint on The Voice.
In a social media post on Monday, the singer teased how much fun she’s already been having as the newest coach alongside Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton and John Legend. She also shared a short behind-the-scenes clip of the first promo for season 21.
“hello and screaming !!!! cannot wait for everyone to see our first promo tomorrow for season 21 of @nbcthevoice !!!” she writes. “it’s…..the most ridiculous and fun.”
In the clip, Ari enters on a crescent moon and takes her place among the other coaches, who are sitting around a campfire. She’s a bit overdressed for camping, though.
“i adore these humans so much and am already an emotional wreck worrying about saying goodbye to everyone the day of the finale and nothings even happened or aired yet,” Ari continues in the caption. “but yes ! tomorrow ! first promo. i love these people and this crew and my TEAM OH MY GOD and everything about this.”
She concludes, “i can’t say anything else. but…simply cannot wait til we get started.”
Season 21 of The Voice premieres September 20 on NBC.
Issa Rae is officially off the market. In a sarcastic Instagram post on Monday, the Insecure creator and star revealed she had married her longtime boyfriend Louis Diame over the weekend.
“A) Impromptu photo shoot in a custom @verawanggang dress. B) My girls came to help me, but they all coincidentally had on the same dress! They were sooooo embarrassed. C) Then I took a few flicks with Somebody’s Husband,” Issa joked in the caption of her post, which included a series photos from her destination wedding in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a commune in the South of France.
“Big thanks to @whiteedenweddings for being so gracious and accommodating and making this feel so real and special,” she added.
Rae’s marriage to Diame may come as a surprise to some of her fans. The couple has been known to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, though the Senegalese businessman has occasionally joined the actress on several red carpets over the years.
Rumors of their engagement first surfaced when Rae was spotted wearing a diamond ring in the cover photo of Essencemagazine’s April 2019 issue. It was later confirmed by her Insecure costars Jay Ellisand Yvonne Orji that Issa and Louis were indeed together and planning to wed.
“We’re very excited for her,” Orji told Entertainment Tonight at the time, with Ellis adding, “We all found out in different ways because we’re all on different text chains. We talk at different times, so we all found out at different times in different ways.”
