During the In Memoriam segment of Monday night's Emmys, Billy Crystal honored his friend Robin Williams with a lovely, moving speech about his life and work. "He made us laugh, hard," Crystal began. "The brilliance was astounding, the relentless energy was kind of thrilling. I used to think that if I could just put a saddle on him and stay on for eight seconds, I was going to do okay."
Watch the full speech below and keep your tissues handy.
Just days after Jennifer Lawrence was named AP's Entertainer of the Year, Serena Williams has picked up the top honor in the sports category. The tennis superstar has been named AP's Female Athlete of the Year for the third time.
This competition wasn't nearly as close in this case, however. Whereas J.Law beat Miley Cyrus by only one vote, Serena had 55 votes to second-place finisher's Brittney Griner's 14. Congrats, Serena!
Talk about a case of social media being your worst enemy.
Newest cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Porsha Williams admitted to Bravo's Andy Cohen that rumors that she found out in the press that her hubby, former pro football stud Kordell Stewart, had filed for divorce were true—sort of.
Williams, who is bubbly and beautiful and nine years Stewart's junior, told Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that she found the news on Twitter, tweeted from multiple media outlets, including TMZ who broke the news, after a phone call from her sister telling her to scour the social media hub.
"I thought,'This is just a crazy joke!' Porsha told Cohen, who is basically like the Housewives Messiah. But Williams soon found out her husband of less than two years had indeed filed for a divorce. "I asked my husband... had he filed, and just a long story short, I felt very disappointed and let down."
No duh. Who wouldn't if their hubby filed for divorce and they found out in 140 characters or less? It's like being broken up with via telephone in 5th grade but way, way worse.
I bet Taylor Swift is kind-of-sort-of envious because this would make for really good song fodder and it beats the time Joe Jonas dumped her via a 27-second phone call and she told everyone about it.
Really, though, this is slightly frightening. It's one thing to get your daily horoscope on Twitter, and even use it as your primary news source. But when you are finding out about your own divorce on the thing, it takes it to a whole new level. Let's hope this is something reserved strictly for celebrities (and perhaps, reality stars). It's bad enough when I have to see announcements of ex-boyfriends getting engaged on my feed.
Then again, that's what the block feature is for.
