Larry King has been hospitalized with COVID-19.
According to Showbiz411, the 87-year-old broadcaster is in isolation and not permitted to have visits from his family.
A source says the “folks at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles are giving King odds of 50/50 or better.” But the insider adds that he’s “improving.”
Larry reportedly caught the virus from a home healthcare worker who initially showed no symptoms.
Larry is no stranger to health problems. He had a major heart attack in 1987, a cancerous tumor removed in 2017, an angioplasty in 2019, and a stroke, also in 2019.

A movie based on the invention of the Rubik’s Cube is in the works. According to TheWrap, the film will be about how “Professor Erno Rubik’s toy became a pop culture phenomenon in the ’80s and beyond.”

A record number of women directed movies in 2020. According to Variety, women represented 16% of directors on the 100 highest-grossing films last year, up from 12% in 2019.

Zoë Kravitz is starting the new year off single.
According to People magazine, the actress filed for divorce from actor Karl Glusman on December 23rd.
The same day the Big Little Lies star posted a meme indicating her mood. The image showed a drag queen dumping a bag of trash into a dumpster. The trash bag was labeled, “People, places, and things that no longer serve my greatest and highest good.”
Zoë and Karl wed in June 2019 at the Paris home of her father, Lenny Kravitz. The couple had met in late 2016 at a bar.
