James Cameron and the cast of Avatar: The Way of Water hit up London, Tokyo, and South Korea over the last week. However, the director has to pull out of tonight’s Hollywood premiere because he tested positive for COVID-19, according to Variety.
Cameron, 68. is not the only director to contract COVID-19 recently. Steven Spielberg missed the Gotham Awards on November 28th because he had coronavirus. He is better and back doing press for The Fablemans.
The second Avatar movie opens nationwide this weekend.
UPDATE: James Cameron spoke with Deadline. “I am in LA, just back from Tokyo, and I managed to pick up Covid on the plane, so I’m isolated and can’t go to my own premiere tonight,” the director said. “The number of people I’ve told over the years, ‘ah, we’ll catch up and I’ll see you at the premiere…well, I guess not. Man proposes, and God disposes.”
Oh well, there is always the next Avatar movie.

Steven Spielberg was all set to attend the Gotham Awards tonight to present to Michelle Williams, but he had to cancel at the last minute. Why? According to Variety, he tested positive before he was about to walk the red carpet.
The director is in NYC to promote his biopic The Fablemans, but all of his events are rescheduled for the time being.
Hopefully, the 75-year-old will be better by awards season because it sounds like his film will be nominated for several of them.

Will Smith was going to have a meet & greet with some people who saw his new movie. Before he could meet them, he had to take a COVID-19 test to make sure he was negative.
During the test, he cried out like a baby. Do you know who doesn’t cry like a girl when he puts a swab up his nose? Chris Rock! Now, that is a man for you!
Oh, and Smith tested positive for COVID-19. Poor baby.

Whoopi Goldberg was missing from The View on Monday, and now we know why. The 67-year-old was not feeling well in the morning and tested positive for COVID-19 later on in the day, according to Entertainment Weekly.
She is expected to return to the daytime talk show when she is feeling better, which will hopefully be soon.
This is not the first time Whoopi has had coronavirus. She battled the virus in January right after the holidays. Back then, she thanked the vaccine and its booster that kept her from getting really sick with it.

Drew Barrymore can’t host her show because she has COVID-19 |

Drew Barrymore tested positive for COVID-19, so she will not be able to host her show next week.
Therefore, she is passing off the reigns to Ross Matthews and 50 Cent. The latter should be interesting. Seriously, can you imagine Fiddy co-hosting a daytime talk show on CBS? I think we should all tune in to see how it goes because I am sure it will be unforgettable.
Back to Barrymore. I hope she is better soon and doesn’t have too many symptoms. But looking at her in bed smiling, you know she will be OK. But, then again, does the actress ever not smile? She is always happy, and that is why we love her. She is a ray of sunshine.
