SHARON OSBOURNE’S FUTURE: Sharon Osbourne’s future at CBS‘ The Talk is up in the air, insiders tell Page Six. The show’s hiatus has been extended a week. “She’s taking it one moment at a time.

Things have to play out,” an Osbourne pal told Page Six. Co-host Elaine Welteroth filed a complaint about racial insensitivity on-set over Osbourne’s behavior. (Page Six)

JIMMY FALLON TALKS LOCKDOWN: Lockdown has been rough, but Jimmy Fallon is looking on the bright side. “I wish we wrote all this stuff down. Because it’s like, I remember it, but it was so crazy, you almost forget what life was like,” Fallon, 46, tells PEOPLE. “It was crazy how much went down. There was no food in the stores. All we could buy was frozen shrimp. The police would come knock on your door if you had an extra car in the driveway, thinking you were having a party. People freaking out about toilet paper. Drive-by birthday parties. That was all happening, you know, while we’re trying to figure out what’s going on with the kids with Zoom school and can you even see your parents? And on top of that, we have a show to put on. That phase was bizarre.” (People)
