‘Happy Days' cast members reunited this weekend
Sunday, Monday, happy days.
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.'

Levy says that Starfighter will cover new territory in franchise storytelling and won't feature any of the major characters from prior releases. 'This is a standalone. It's not a prequel, not sequel.

It has such a great story with great and original characters,' said Gosling. 'It's filled with so much heart and adventure, and there just really is not a more perfect filmmaker for this particular story than Shawn.'

Ana Bárbara, Adriel Favela & Horacio Palencia Hope ‘Pase a la Fama' Gives Mexican Music ‘A Different Level of Visibility'
Pase a la Fama, Telemundo's new television series, is set to premiere on Sunday, June 8 featuring a star-studded panel of judges — Ana Bárbara, Adriel Favela and Horacio Palencia — and original music produced by Latin Grammy-winning hitmaker Edgar Barrera. During the show, participants will compete in a bootcamp-like setting where they will 'train, perform and face challenges,' according to a press statement, vying for a $100,000 prize, a record deal with HYBE Latin America and crowned the next regional Mexican band, which will comprised of five participants. More from Billboard Fuerza Regida's JOP, Gabito Ballesteros & Lupillo Rivera Join 'Pase a la Fama' TV Show Jon Bellion Was Tired of Songwriters Getting 'Paid F-king Dirt' - So He Flipped the Script With 'Father Figure' Elvis Crespo, Elena Rose, Kapo & More: Vote for the Best New Latin Music This Week 'The truth is that it's a project we put our hearts into,' Ana Bárbara tells Billboard during a conversation over Zoom, just days before competition kick off. 'I personally feel moved, excited, thrilled and I think it will be a great project.' The judges will be meticulous about who they choose as finalists. They must have 'discipline and respect for the audience and us as judges, all of those are ingredients that for me are very, very important,' Palencia says. 'In fact, I tell the new generation that, for me, discipline is actually even more important than talent, because sometimes it doesn't matter to have talent if you don't have discipline.' So, what were the main qualities the judges looked for? 'It's a band and, at the end of the day, I believe that there are many components that contribute to what brings success to a career,' Palencia adds. 'The [right] attitude, preparation and how they accept more than just criticism, but the constructive advice we give them,' Palencia adds. 'I believe that the winning band will genuinely work towards achieving all of those characteristics.' The show is set to premiere at a time when some música mexicana artists are facing bans in Mexico (if they sing narcocorridos in certain public settings) or visa delays and revocations in the United States. 'I had no idea that all of this could happen, which is both delicate and strong, yet sensitive, and definitely very sad,' Ana Bárbara says. 'Because it affects all of us in some way, it has an impact. We all admire the music of someone who is having problems for various reasons, beyond whatever the reason may be. This show will provide [Mexican] music with a different level of visibility.' The judges will also focus on emphasizing 'clean song lyrics and about love stories,' Favela says. 'It is nice to realize that music is giving us a chance to go beyond the musical aspect. To see our individual values, to see young people singing themes that, nowadays, I dare to say, are being lost, perhaps more and more. And that there is validity in rescuing all of this, which at the end of the day is the pure root of our Mexican essence.' It was previously announced that Lupillo Rivera, Fuerza Regida's JOP and Gabito Ballestero's will join the show as mentors. The first episode of Pase a la Fama will premiere Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on Telemundo.

Yolanda Hadid ends engagement to Joseph Jingoli after ex-husband's secret daughter is revealed
It's over for Yolanda Hadid and Joseph Jingoli. The former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star, 61, and her longtime boyfriend quietly ended their engagement in January, a source told People on Thursday, June 5. However, the exes allegedly have no bad blood toward each other. 'They remain friends and have nothing but fond memories of their time together,' the insider said. The Post reached out to Hadid for comment but did not immediately hear back. The reality star alum, who is mother to supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid, met Jingoli after she uprooted her life to Pennsylvania in 2017. Jingoli, who is the CEO of a construction and development company, popped the question in 2022 while the pair were away in Holland. They kept their engagement private until August 2024, when Hadid casually called him her 'fiancé' in her interview with Architectural Digest. 'I made a love spiral and wrote down exactly everything that was important to me in a man and he magically just rang the doorbell at the farm,' she told People in 2018. The pair first stepped out together in September 2019. Hadid also gushed over Jingoli in a tribute post for their anniversary in January 2021. ' All my life I prayed for someone like you!!' Hadid wrote alongside photos of them together. 'Thank you for being such a bright light in my life, the calm in my storm and for being the most honorable man that I know…. Happy 2 year anniversary Joey Jingoli, I love and appreciate you .' Hadid was previously married to Grammy-award-winning producer David Foster from 2011 to 2017. Her first husband was luxury real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, 76, with whom she shares three children: Gigi, 30, Bella, 28, and son Anwar, 25. While Hadid only has three children, Mohamed has six — one of whom the world just discovered. Gigi and Bella have a half sister named Aydan Nix, and revealed the shocking family secret just last week. Nix is 23 and the result of their father's 'brief romance' with a woman named Terri Hatfield Dull, which happened shortly after his 2001 divorce from Yolanda, according to the sisters. 'Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy,' Gigi and Bella told the Daily Mail in a statement on May 29. Gigi and Bella explained that Nix was unaware that Mohamed was her father until recently. She discovered the news after the man she always knew as dad's 'sudden passing when she was 19.' The Hadid sisters explained that Nix 'decided to take a genetic test out of curiosity,' which led to the shocking discovery that she had 'a biological connection' to the famous family. But the girls welcomed her with open arms, allegedly first meeting Nix in Paris when she was studying abroad in 2024. 'We've cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family,' Gigi and Bella continued, adding they are hoping everyone respects their half sister's privacy. 'As siblings, we've had many open and loving conversations — with Aydan included — about how to support and protect her,' they shared. 'Aydan and her family value their privacy, and we fully respect that. We kindly ask others to do the same and honor her wish and right to her anonymity as she continues her life as a young woman in New York.' Besides Gigi, Bella, Anwar and now Nix, Mohamed is also a father to his oldest children — Marielle, 44, and Alana, 39, with his first wife, Mary Butler. Mohamed has not publicly acknowledged Nix as his daughter, but he does follow her on Instagram.
