Hollywood Icon Betty White passed away on Friday morning at the age of 99. The comedian’s agent revealed more details about her death on Monday. “Betty died peacefully in her sleep at her home,” he said in a statement. He also shut down the rumors that The Golden Girls’ star died right after she got her booster shot for COVID-19. “People are saying her death was related to getting a booster shot three days earlier but that is not true. She died of natural causes. Her death should not be politicized — that is not the life she lived.”
Ricki Lake is married. The Hairspray star announced that she and Ross Burningham tied the knot on social media. “We did it! 1/2/22 Ross and I said I DO!”, Lake wrote on Instagram along with three photos from the ceremony. Lake announced her engagement in February 2021.
Whoopi Goldberg has a breakthrough case of COVID-19. Her co-host Joy Behar announced the news on The View. “Since she’s vaxxed and boosted, her symptoms have been very, very mild, but we’re being super-cautious here,” Behar said on Monday. She predicted that Whoopi would probably return “next week.”
