'Cheerleader' Jamie Lee Curtis has COVID-19 and will bow out of awards events

LOS ANGELES — Jamie Lee Curtis has tested positive for COVID-19, sharing her fate just days after attending — and going viral in a whole 'nother way — at the 80th Golden Globes.

The "Everything Everywhere All at Once" star, who became an instant meme when she exuberantly celebrated her co-star Michelle Yeoh's first Golden Globe win during the ceremony, took to social media Friday to reveal her positive diagnosis amid Hollywood's unrelenting awards season engagements.

"F— COVID!" the "Knives Out" star wrote on Instagram. "Sadly, this head cheerleader is not going to be at all the weekend festivities cheering on her friends and colleagues. Life on life's terms."
