Yet another Hollywood star has apparently contracted COVID-19 — Robert Pattinson.
Vanity Fair reports that has tested positive, though there’s been no public confirmation. What we do know for sure is that production in London on The Batman has been halted because someone on set has the virus.
Pattinson will play the title character, with Zoe Kravitz co-starring.

Marie Osmond is exiting The Talk after one season as a co-host.
In a statement to Deadline, CBS says, “Marie is a consummate professional, and we thank her for sharing her personal experiences, insight, as well as incredible talents, with our audience. We will miss her humor, kindness and good nature, and wish her much success in her future endeavors.”
Marie left to work on her new show with ViacomCBS and to spend more time with her husband. She says, “My husband and I just dropped our last two kids off at college, we looked at each other, laughed and remembered we hadn’t been this alone together since 1982!! So, at this stage of my life, I’m looking forward to spending more time with him and visiting all the kids/grandkids.”
This comes a week before production is set to begin for Season 11.

Mulan will be free for Disney Plus subscribers.
The highly anticipated live-action reboot will hit the streaming service on December 4th — and fans won’t be charged any extra fees.
For those who can’t wait, it is available to rent today for $30.

Beyonce donated for a second time $1 million to “ensure economic empowerment for Black businesses.”
Her non-profit foundation, BeyGOOD, started in July the Black-Owned Small Business Impact Fund. At that time, she seeded the initiative with $1 million. On Wednesday she doubled that amount.
The Impact Fund awarded grants to 20 applications. Another round of applications will happen this month. (Billboard)
