Posted on Tue Aug 12th, 2014 7:06am PDT       By X17 Staff


Despite the untimely and horribly sad death of actor/comedian Robin Williams on Monday, the show will go on ... Four films will pay tribute to the funnyman who died of an apparent suicide yesterday at his Marin County home.

Due out later this year is Merry Friggin' Christmas, a comedy with Candice Bergen and Joel McHale.

A family favorite, the Night at the Museum franchise, will return to theaters in December, co-starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Rebel Wilson and others.

Williams also stars in Absolutely Anything due out next year. It's a sci-fi film featuring the Oscar winner's voice-over talents (he also voiced a character in Happy Feet).

Boulevard with Kathy Baker, screened at the TriBeCa Film Festival in April; the film's producers are still looking for distribution.

One project that may not see the big screen is a previously-scheduled Mrs. Doubtfire sequel. The film's director, Chris Columbus, told Variety in a statement: "His performances were unlike anything any of us had ever seen, they came from some spiritual and otherworldly place. He truly was one of the few people who deserved the title of 'genius.' We were friends for 21 years. Our children grew up together, he inspired us to spend our lives in San Francisco and I loved him like a brother. The world was a better place with Robin in it. And his beautiful legacy will live on forever."

His Mrs. Doubtfire co-star Sally Field added: "I feel stunned and so sad about Robin. I'm sad for the world of comedy. And so very sad for his family. And I'm sad for Robin. He always lit up when he was able to make people laugh, and he made them laugh his whole life long.... tirelessly. He was one of a kind. There will not be another. Please God, let him now rest in peace."

Posted on Mon Aug 11th, 2014 4:04pm PDT       By X17 Staff


In a shocking turn of events, beloved actor Robin Williams has committed suicide. He was 63 years old.

The Marin County Sheriff's department has released a statement saying the actor killed himself by asphyxia at his home in Tiburon, Northern California.

According to the Marin County Sheriff's Office, authorities were called to his home but found Williams unresponsive, unconscious and not breathing. The statement said that the office received a 9-1-1 call at 11:55 a.m. saying that a man had been found “unconscious and not breathing inside his residence.” Emergency personnel sent to the scene identified him as Mr. Williams and pronounced him dead at 12:02 p.m.

Although his publicist wouldn’t confirm that it was indeed a suicide, his rep issued a statement, “Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”

Williams was starring in a third installment of FOX's Night at the Museum film. The studio issued the following statement: “There really are no words to describe the loss of Robin Williams. He was immensely talented, a cherished member of our community, and part of the Fox family. Our hearts go out to his family, friends and fans. He will be deeply missed.”

The Oscar winner, who has publicly struggled with addiction for decades, checked himself into a rehab last month to focus on his sobriety.

Williams was a beloved comedic actor who also garnered critical acclaim (and the Academy Award) for his dramatic work. Some of his most loved movies include Mrs. Doubtfire, The Birdcage, Dead Poets Society, Good Morning, Vietnam and Good Will Hunting, the film that won him the Oscar.

 

Kim Kardashian Distracts NYPD Officer With Her Giant Booty

Their job may be to serve and protect the city, but when Kim Kardashian and her massive butt walk by, how can you NOT stare?!

On Monday Kim Kardashian left her New York City apartment, and one of the police officers posted outside couldn't help but check out the 33-year-old reality starlet's famous assets as she hopped into her chauffeured car. Kim's hubby Kanye West wasn't around, but we have a feeling he might actually be flattered to know that Kim's butt is still the center of attention.

Kim arrived in New York late last night after making an appearance (and accepting an award) at the Teen Choice Awards, and earlier today she posted a sweet snapshot of her and Kanye making out in an elevator. While it seems innocent enough, we have to wonder if she wasn't poking fun at frenemies Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z...

Hot mama!

Gwen Stefani enjoyed a casual day by the sea in Newport Beach yesterday with her father and sons Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo, and the mother-of-three wore trendy overalls that showed off the fact she has clearly regained her pre-pregnancy physique! The only change to her body seems to be her more voluptuous chest, and that's definitely not a bad thing!

The whole clan, along with the No Doubt front woman's husband Gavin Rossdale, recently returned from a trip to the British rocker's hometown of London, but it seems the sandy beaches of California is where they feel at home!

We wish she could have showed off in a bikini instead!

 

Courtney Stodden And Doug Hutchison Have Reconciled, Plan On Renewing Wedding Vows

Posted on Mon Aug 11th, 2014 2:30pm PDT       By X17 Staff


True love does exist!

Child bride Courtney Stodden and never-was actor Doug Hutchison have reconciled and are set to marry again. Praise Jesus!

After three years of marriage, the 19-year-old and 54-year-old hit a rough patch, legally separating in November 2013. But it appears as though the love gods shined their light down about them and the twosome have decided to patch things up. We're so happy -- it's like a romantic comedy come true!

The 19-year-old reality star, who admitted she neither reads nor writes, said in a statement, "Doug and I have been through so much together, but somehow through it all, it brought us closer and confirmed my love for him." We get it Court, Dougey seems like quite the catch -- we know you wouldn't want that one to swim away!

Doug also made a statement, saying, "My love and respect for Courtney is timeless and I look forward to our future ceremony when we renew our vows."

Well … that means the crazy in love and planning on having another wedding. Sorry Kimye -- Doug and Courtney's wedding is sure to be the wedding of the year! Oh let's hope it's just as lovely as their Vegas wedding in 2011(you know … back when she was 16 and he was 51). Perchance this walk down the aisle, the vegetarian bride will wear a dress comprised entirely of lettuce? We can certainly dream ...

And of course, a true happy couple's rekindled romance wouldn't be complete without a joint statement. Doug and Courtney said,"We are very happy to be reunited."

Nora Ephron couldn't have written it better herself ...
