Goldie Hawn admits death of co-star Ruth Buzzi 'hurts so deeply'
The comedian died on Thursday of complications from Alzheimer's disease at her home near Fort Worth, Texas. She was 88.
Reacting to the news on Instagram on Friday, her Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In collaborator Hawn paid a heartfelt tribute alongside a throwback black-and-white photo of the pair on the sketch comedy show.
"My Ruthie, you're gone, and it hurts so deeply. I'll always treasure our daily calls, how we could talk endlessly, even after long days," she captioned the post. "You were my girlfriend, my heart through life's ups and downs. You made me laugh like no one else could. You were beyond talented, Ruthie. A one of a kind soul who brought so much laughter and light to the world.
"Those deep, joyful laughs we shared, especially while making Laugh In, will stay with me forever. I love you. Wishing you peace and beautiful travels in the arms of the angels."
Hawn appeared on 64 episodes of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In from 1968 to 1970, while Buzzi was a mainstay on the series during its run between 1968 to 1973.
The star's daughter Kate Hudson and actress Demi Moore showed their support in the comments by posting white dove and red heart emojis.
Meanwhile, actress/singer Rita Wilson remembered growing up watching Hawn and Buzzi on the show.
"So sorry for the loss of your dear friend Goldie. I was lucky enough to meet her when we did the Laugh In 50th show," she wrote in the comments. "You were all comedy queens and kings. Ruth will be remembered in my heart forever."

Is Taylor Swift about to enter her 12th era? She's going to be a guest on 'New Heights'
Taylor Swift may be swinging open the doors to an opulent era. The singer was announced as a surprise guest on this week's "New Heights" podcast. In a teaser video, what appears to be an album sits on a shelf behind her. It's black with an orange outline. In front of it is an orange square with "T.S." printed on it. Swift turns to Travis Kelce in a light blue sweater and says, "Such a nice color on you." He replies, "Yes I know, it's the color of your eyes, sweetie. It's why we match so well." "We're about to do a f***ing podcast," Swift responds. The full podcast will air at 7 p.m. ET on Aug. 13. Listeners can subscribe to watch here. New era? A countdown clock appeared on her website three hours before 12:12 a.m. on Aug. 12 sending fans into a spiral. A new album would be Swift's 12th. Swifties suspected the singer's next act was imminent after her in-house marketing account, Taylor Nation, shared an Instagram post the morning of August 11: "Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…' ❤️🔥." A photo carousel of 12 photos showcased her orange bodysuits and dresses from the Eras Tour and included one shot of her and Sabrina Carpenter from the surprise set section in New Orleans. Shortly before the Taylor Nation post, Travis Kelce's account and the "New Heights" podcast page shared a joint tease to a "VERY special guest" on an upcoming episode. A silhouette that looked like Swift sent her fandom into a tailspin of excitement. The image background was glittery orange, the same texture seen on her website with her letter reclaiming her entire catalog. Coming full circle, the podcast is where Travis told his brother Jason he tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number. "This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell," she said during her Time Magazine Person of the Year article. The two dated in secret before she appeared in an NFL suite at a Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears game in September 2023. Kelce has become a conduit for Swift news She changed her lyrics for Kelce at the close of Eras Tour. Every time he was in the audience, she'd switch up the tune to "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me." When she won video of the year at the Video Music Awards, she thanked him in her speech. "When I'd finish a take, and I'd say cut, and we'd be done with that take, I'd always just hear someone like cheering and like 'whoo' from across the studio," she said in the speech. "And that one person was my boyfriend Travis. Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic." When he co-hosted Tight End University in May, she crashed the stage with Kane Brown to close out the night with "Shake It Off." 'The drought was the very worst' It's been 555 days since Swift's last album announcement, "The Tortured Poets Department," which she revealed at the 2024 Grammy awards. Swift has been laying low with music news except for in May when she announed she had purchased the master recordings of her first six albums. In an open letter, she hinted at a new era of sequins and rhinestones worthy of Elizabeth Taylor. The "TS" letterhead was framed by a diamond. She spelled "thiiiiiiiiiiiis" with 12 i's. In her Eras Tour book, she began with a shot from her Paris concert where she debuted the orange body suit and finished her opening letter with "See you next era..." Fans noticed the countdown in France also turned orange before the opening sequence, and they clocked the "Karma" door appearing orange at the end of her show.

New Heights confirms Taylor Swift's appearance with hilarious first look
After a day of speculating, it's officially official. Taylor Swift is going to do a podcast. The 14-time Grammy winner will be joining boyfriend Travis Kelce on the NFL star's show, New Heights, alongside Kelce's brother Jason. News broke Monday morning that New Heights was dropping a surprise show on Wednesday evening with a mystery guest, and immediately the Swifties got to finding Easter eggs. There was the glittery orange background on the New Heights post (their usual is a plain yellow), and then there was the post from Taylor Nation (Swift's official social media account) 12 minutes later that featured 12 photos, all with photos featuring orange outfits (the assumed color of Swift's 12th album). Next, there were the key Instagram likes (Swift's best friend and her recording label). The theories around a potential appearance from Swift on the podcast expanded with hypotheses that she'd announce something on Tuesday, August 12 to keep with the theme of 12 for her next album. Her official website posting a countdown to 12:12 AM ET on the 12th added fuel to that fire. Well, now we have confirmation that the The Tortured Poets Department singer is IN FACT this week's guest on New Heights. The social accounts for the popular podcast dropped a teaser clip late Monday night that featured Swift sitting alongside Kelce and the two sharing a sweet moment of compliments before she expressed her excitement at being on the pod. "We're about to do a [expletive] podcast," the singer said with a smile and laugh. Wednesday night can't come soon enough.
