Richard Lewis was the king of comic kvetching and self-deprecating humor

Richard Lewis died at 76 after suffering a heart attack.That just wasn’t supposed to happen, not now, even for someone like Richard, who was in ill health for several years — but at least it was peaceful, according to his publicist, Jeff Abraham of Jonas Public Relations.Richard “passed away peacefully at his home in Los Angeles last night [Tuesday] after suffering a heart attack,” Abraham said in a statement to The Post. “His wife, Joyce Lapinsky, thanks everyone for all the love, friendship and support and asks for privacy at this time.”I had such a nice interaction with the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” legend several years back when I was researching my biography of Don Rickles, with whom Richard co-starred on the short-lived Fox sitcom “Daddy Dearest” in 1993.

Dr. Phil and ‘The View’ hosts clash after he says kids suffered more from school lockdowns than COVID
The View when he took aim at the lockdowns that forced children across the United States to study from home due to health concerns.Speaking about his new book, We’ve Got Issues, Dr Phil was asked about how children should deal with social media platforms.“In, like, ’08, ’09, smartphones came on, and kids started, they stopped living their lives and starting watching people live their lives, and so we saw the biggest spike and the highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and suicidality, since records have ever been kept, and it’s just continued on and on and on,” Dr Phil said, the Independent reported.He then pivoted to criticise the lockdown orders.“… then Covid hits 10 years later, and the same agencies that knew that, are the agencies that shut down the schools for two years.“Who does that? Who takes away the support system for these children? Who takes it away and shuts it down?“And by the way, when they shut it down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see children that were being abused and sexually molested and in fact sent them home and abandoned them to their abusers, with no way to watch, and referrals dropped 50 percent to 60 percent.”American lawyer and The View host Sunny Hostin interjected: “There was also a pandemic going on…”Her co-host, actor and comedian Whoopi Goldberg also pushed back by stating that the lockdowns were an attempt to “save kids’ lives”.“Remember, we know a lot of folks who died during this,” she said.Dr Phil retorted: “Not schoolchildren” before clarifying that children were the “safest group”.“They were the less vulnerable group and they suffered and will suffer more from the mismanagement of Covid than they will from the exposure to Covid.“And that’s not

The Taylor Swift-inspired fashion trend that no woman is safe from
cowboy boots and stick-on sequins.The extreme fandom is hardly surprising, because as we know, if there’s one thing Aussies love to do when a musical act comes to town, it’s to start dressing exactly like their icon.Part of the fun of embracing Swift’s Era’s tour is getting dressed up for the occasion, and sequins are heavily encouraged by all.One attendee, Emma Butler, noticed that fans all fell in love with the same super affordable mini skirt from fashion chain Glassons.She commented on TikTok that initially, she believed her skirt was “super unique” until she wore it to a concert and realised everyone else was wearing the exact same thing.Emma’s TikTok video proves that the skirt was everywhere, with hordes of women all opting for the exact same sequin number, in an array of bright colours.Who doesn’t love a sparkly shirt for less than $50?The Glassons skirt is sold out but has become the unofficial fan uniform.People online were divided over the viral trend, with one calling it “amazing” and another saying everyone wearing it “slayed”.One claimed it was “basic” and another pointed out that trends are popular for a reason, mostly because the clothes look good.Someone else shared that it was one of her “fears” to turn up somewhere and find another wearing the exact same outfit, and another commented they were relieved when they arrived at the concert and saw no one was dressed the same as them.Of course, concerts bring this kind of co-ordination out in Aussies.
