Whoopi Goldberg was absent from The View’s season premiere

Today is the 27th season premiere of The View, and the daytime talk show debuted its new set. But there was something missing. Or should I say someone because Whoopi Goldberg wasn’t sitting at their new table?

Where was the EGOT winner? She is home fighting COVID-19. According to Joy Behar, who was sitting in her seat, she is on the tail end of the virus and should be back hosting later this week.

Hopefully, she won’t suffer any long-term effects from the coronavirus.

COVID-19 is back. So please wear a mask and get a booster shot if need be.

The COVID bell tolled for Metallica’s James Hetfield

Metallica is rocking out on tour, but they had to cut their Glendale, Arizona, concert short on Friday, according to the Arizona Republic. Now we know why.

“We’re very sorry to report that tomorrow’s [September 3rd] scheduled M72 date at State Farm Stadium has been postponed to Saturday, September 9, 2023, as, unfortunately, COVID has caught up with James [Hetfield],” the band said in a statement. “We’re extremely disappointed and regret any inconvenience this has caused you; we look forward to returning to complete the M72 No Repeat Weekend in Glendale next Saturday.”

Last week, Metallica went to the dogs when a German Shepard enjoyed their LA concert. This week, you can say, Hetfield is as sick as a dog with COVID.

Hopefully, he will be better soon, and none of his bandmates get it from him.

Hetfield is not the only person to come down with COVID this week. First Lady Jill Biden tested positive today. I am praying she has a quick recovery.

Stop whining about masks and put one on because the new strain is highly contagious.

COVID rains on Lea Michele’s parade again

Lea Michele is taking a break from doing Funny Girl, and it is not because she wants to.

“Unfortunately, Lea Michele has tested positive for Covid.” the Broadway musical wrote. “She will be out of the show this week and will return on Tuesday, May 23rd.”

Hopefully, she has a mild case and will be back wowing the gorgeous audiences as she has been!

If you want to be one of the gorgeous audience members, don’t wait too long. The curtain goes down forever on September 3rd.

And ladies and gentlemen, just a quick reminder, COVID is still a thing.

Glenn Close is out of the Oscars due to COVID

Eight-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close was supposed to be a presenter at tonight’s Academy Awards, but she had to cancel on them at the last minute because she tested positive for COVID-19.

Her rep to the Associated Press that “she is isolating and resting.
Hopefully, she will be better soon.

As of now, the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences has not announced who will be replacing her. I think they should have someone dressed in a COVID red ball present for her.

Savannah Guthrie leaves Today early
February 28th, 2023 under Coronavirus, TV News. [ Comments: none ]

The Today Show started off with Savannah Guthrie hosting the show this morning, but by the second hour, she was gone.

So what happened? Sheinelle Jones told their audience, “She wasn’t feeling great, so she took a COVID test. It came back positive. So, as soon as we found out, she rushed home to rest up. So Savannah, we love you, wishing you a speedy recovery.”

Al Roker, who had coronavirus late last year backed away from Jones as she was talking about their ailing co-anchor because she sat next to her when the show started. I can’t say I blame him.

When it comes to Guthrie, who is vaccinated and boosted, this is the second time she has tested positive. The first time was in January 2022.

One last thought. Now that we know why Guthrie is missing from the show, when are they going to tell us where Hoda Kotb has been for the last seven broadcasts?
