Tom Hanks and his wife, actress Rita Wilson, have both been tested positive for Coronavirus. The actor announced it through his Instagram profile. After the couple landed in Australia, they started noticing symptoms including a fever and body aches, and they responsibly decided to get tested.

Harvey Weinstein’s sentence is brutal
Lawyers of the disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein asked for a 5 year punishment, citing his health and age.

Did Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion predict the Coronavirus outbreak?
Contagion, a film about a deadly pandemic, has become really popular these days, as people try to understand what the hell is happening with the world right now.

Famous hosts such as James Corden and Ellen DeGeneres are currently not producing their shows either.
