‘Happy Days' cast members reunited this weekend
Fans of the beloved series 'Happy Days,' which aired from 1974 to 1984, got a treat this weekend when some of the cast members came together at Steel City Con outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Anson Williams and Don Most joined a panel discussion about the series. The convention shared video from the event on their social media.
'We are very happy to be here in Pittsburgh,' said Winkler who played Arthur 'The Fonz' Fonzarelli on the show.
He later said that it had been 'the first time that we have appeared this way in 50 years.'
Howard, who grew up on screen and went on to become a Oscar-winning director, starred as Richie Cunningham on the sitcom.
'It feels like it's been 50 minutes, because we're having so much fun hanging and this was sort of our great excuse to come together, so thank you,' he said at the event. 'And by the way, it's just been amazing.'
The classic series was so popular that it spurned several spinoffs, including 'Laverne & Shirley' and 'Mork & Mindy.'

Harrison Ford's Emmy chances for ‘Shrinking,' by the numbers
Hollywood awards voters owe Harrison Ford a serious apology. A supporting Emmy for his performance as the gruff yet insightful therapist Paul Rhoades on Apple TV+'s comedy 'Shrinking' would be a good start. Ford's Emmy nomination for 'Shrinking' Season 2 is his first ever. Granted, most of his small-screen work has come about recently. But Ford's prolific film career also has yielded just one Oscar nomination, for lead actor in 1986, for his soulful performance in 'Witness.' Factoring in Screen Actors Guild (two), BAFTA (one) and Golden Globe nominations (five), Ford's major awards nominations barely reach double digits. Ford has never won a major competitive film or television award. On the other hand, he has a trophy case worth of lifetime achievement awards (from AFI, César Awards, Cannes and more), which suggests that his contributions to the industry haven't gone unnoticed. 'The Fugitive,' a 1993 blockbuster led by an emotionally charged Ford, drew seven Oscar nominations, including for best picture and eventual supporting actor winner Tommy Lee Jones, but none for Ford. Ford drew some critics groups' attention for his thoughtful performance in this 2013 film as baseball executive Branch Rickey, who brought Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) into the major leagues. Forty years ago, no one envisioned a supporting actor TV award as a career highlight for Ford. But an Emmy at age 83 would be lovely — and he's the frontrunner. 'Shrinking' Season 3 has already wrapped, giving Emmy voters a clear path to justice for Ford: not just one but multiple Emmys.

What to know about Louis Vuitton luggage Beyoncé gave her dancers for hard work on tour
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter not only ended her "Cowboy Carter" tour on a history-making note, she celebrated her dancers with a surprise gift — personalized Louis Vuitton luggage and a special message. The Emmy-winning singer closed out her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on July 26. She ended her run with a bang, bringing out Destiny's Child, Jay-Z and Shaboozey for surprise performances. The show marked the end of her 32-stop stadium tour that spanned the U.S. and Europe and became the highest grossing country tour with over $400 million in earnings. Shortly after the final concert, several of Beyoncé's dancers shared videos on social media unboxing a special gift from Beyoncé: a new Louis Vuitton carry-on. The gift appeared to be the luxury brand's grey Horizon 55 monogram eclipse rollable carry-on. There are several versions of the carry-on, with this particular version seemingly priced at $3,450. Meanwhile other versions such as the Louis Vuitton Horizon 55 monogram empreinte leather are going for $5,250. Each dancer's suitcase also came with a name tag engraved with their initials and a letter from Beyoncé and her Parkwood Entertainment company. In a now viral video shared on X, one dancer shared his excitement for the luxurious gift as he read his note aloud: "Congratulations on the completion of the 'Cowboy Carter' tour. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication the last couple of months. We hope you enjoy your gift and know that we greatly appreciate all your contributions to this tour and its success." As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted the highly anticipated show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. The tour proved to be a revolutionary spectacle filled with fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and cultural commentary as she challenged industry norms. The megastar first released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter," in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike.

'Those who haven't [played] don't know what they're talking about. Period. Come get in the gym with me; let's find out!' Now, that's the energy we didn't know we needed! But Denzel didn't stop there. He bluntly added that some people in media just need to 'shut up.' Yes, Uncle Denzel said it, and honestly, we've all been thinking it.
