AceShowbiz - 50 Cent will temporarily take over Drew Barrymore's seat on her "The Drew Barrymore Show". The "In Da Club" hitmaker is set to replace the actress to host the Monday, November 14 episode of the show as she has tested positive for COVID-19.
Revealing the news was Drew on Friday. Making use of Instagram, she shared a photo of herself laying down with her cat. In the caption, she wrote, "I've got covid and lucky the cat! Im good and will be back soon."
"In the meantime @helloross and @50cent are taking over. So only good news to report!!!!!" the 47-year-old Emmy winner continued. "Maybe some other special surprises too!"
The announcement arrived just a few weeks after Drew admitted that she loves to walk around naked. "I have to say, too, if I get a moment alone in my apartment and my kids have gone to their dad's or there's no one around, I'll lock all the doors and I'll walk around naked. It just feels like the most liberating act I can do," she said on her show.
Prior to that, the mom of two claimed that she could "go years" without having sex. More recently, she explained that she has "very different feelings about intimacy" now than she did when she was much younger.
In a blog post, she said, "I'm sure that there was one point in my life where six months might have seemed extreme, but I'm on the other side of that now. At nearly 48 I have very different feelings about intimacy than I did growing up."
"I did not have role model parents and I engaged with people in grown up ways since a tender age! I was looking for companionship! validation! excitement! pleasure! hedonism! fun! And adventures!! Now, because I can't get in the time machine and change my history."
"So I now choose to look at it through a positive lens, which is that I lived! I lived a very rich full life. However, after two kids and a separation from their father that has made me cautious, I have had the pleasure of shifting my focus when it comes to love for myself and my two daughters. I know that does not include a man nor has it for a while (sic)."
