Dick Van Dyke Becomes The Oldest Daytime Emmy Winner At Age 98 For Guest Role On ‘Days Of Our Lives’
Los Angeles — Dick Van Dyke, 98, has won a historic Daytime Emmy.
The actor was awarded Friday night as a guest performer in a daytime drama series for his role as amnesiac Timothy Robicheaux on Peacock’s “Days of Our Lives,” making him the oldest Daytime Emmy recipient.
“I do not believe this. “I feel like a spy from nighttime TV,” he said. “I am 98 years old.” Can you believe it? This marks the culmination of an 80-year business career. “If I had known I’d live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.”
“General Hospital” received four awards, including its fourth straight win for best daytime drama. It marks the second time in the ABC show’s 61-year history that it has received four daytime drama awards in a row.

Robert Gossett from “General Hospital” was named best supporting actor. For the second year in a row, the first cousin of the late Oscar-winning actor Louis Gossett Jr. received recognition for his work as Marshall Ashford.
“General Hospital” also won in the directing and writing categories.
Thorsten Kaye of “The Bold and the Beautiful” won his second consecutive main actor award for his role as Ridge Forrester.
“I’ve got to be extremely honest. I don’t enjoy award shows. “I didn’t like award shows until tonight,” he admitted. “It doesn’t make sense that somebody can do this alone. It would help to have a wonderful manager who sees and listens to you. You require a cast that tolerates you. It would help if you had an entire village to agree that they will not let you drown. I’ve got all of that.”
Michelle Stafford of “The Young and the Restless” won the Best Actor award for her role as Phyllis Summers, a title she previously held in 2004.
“I feel honored to be an actress. It is the best gig. “It is a privilege,” she explained. “I’m honored to entertain people.”
Van Dyke received a standing ovation when he entered the stage with a cane, escorted by his wife, Arlene, who was holding the trophy.
“I brought this lady up because she was also on the show,” he stated. “She played the cop who arrested me.”
When producer Norman Lear won his final Primetime Emmy nomination in 2022, he was 100 years old. He died the following year.
Van Dyke defeated previous year’s winner Alley Mills of “General Hospital,” Australian actor Guy Pearce of Amazon Freevee’s “Neighbours,” Linden Ashby of “The Young and the Restless,” and Ashley Jones of “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

“The Kelly Clarkson Show” maintained its dominance in the daytime show category with a fourth straight triumph. The singer, who moved her act from Los Angeles to New York last year, was present to accept the medal.
“The move has been so great, not just for me and my family, but for our whole show,” she remarked, mentioning NBC specifically. “Thank you for thinking of mental health and not just a product.”
Courtney Hope, who plays Sally Spectra in “The Young and the Restless,” received supporting actress recognition. She began working on “The Bold and the Beautiful” in 2017 and moved to “Y&R” in 2020.
Melody Thomas Scott, who played Nikki Newman on “The Young and the Restless” for 45 years, and her producer-husband, Edward Scott, received Lifetime Achievement Awards. Scott spent years on “Y&R” before transitioning to his present role on “The Bold and the Beautiful.”
“I can’t tell you how encouraging a thing like this is,” said Thomas Scott, who had her acting debut at eight in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Marnie.”
Her spouse addressed the audience, “I promise to do my absolute best to continue to amaze you.”

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, a husband-and-wife duo, won the daytime talk series host award for their show “Live with Kelly and Mark.” On the Food Network, Ina Garten won best culinary series for “Be My Guest”.
The ceremony honoring soap operas, talk shows, and game shows was broadcast live on CBS from the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
The 51st annual Daytime Emmys returned to their regular schedule six months after the show’s 50th edition broadcast in December, which had been pushed back due to last year’s Hollywood writers and actors strikes.

Vanessa Hudgens ‘Disappointed’ Her Privacy Was Invaded With Paparazzi Pictures Of Her New Baby
The “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” star wrote in an Instagram post Thursday, “We’re disappointed that our family’s privacy was violated and exploited during this very special time due to the greed of a long-lens camera feeding the media.” Despite this, Mom, Dad, and Baby are happy and healthy.
Vanessa was alluding to reports published earlier this week that showed her leaving a hospital with her infant.
While the circumstances surrounding the announcement were not ideal, the singer and actor’s Instagram message served as her first confirmation that she had given birth to her kid, her first child with husband Cole Tucker.
CNN has contacted Hudgens’ agents to see if she has more comments.
On Oscar night in March, Vanessa disclosed that she and the Major League Baseball outfielder were expecting their first child.

For ‘Love Island USA’ Superfan Ariana Madix, Hosting The Show ‘Does Not Feel Like Work’
Before the real-life infidelity scandal known as Sandoval, there was a scene in Season 10 of Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules” in which Ariana Madix and her then-boyfriend Tom Sandoval admitted to not spending enough quality time together. Sandoval wanted to party like a rock star, but Madix preferred that he stay at home with her and watch her favorite TV show, “Love Island USA,” with pals.
“I do not have time to watch 50 (expletive) episodes of ‘Love Island.'” “No, I don’t.” he replied.

After roughly a year and a half, Madix and Sandoval split. Sandoval had been cheating on Madix for almost six months with a “Vanderpump” co-star. Madix is presently the host of “Love Island USA” on Peacock, succeeding Sarah Hyland.
It’s a fitting development for Madix, whose nearly decade-long romance ended publicly. Since then, she has appeared on “Dancing with the Stars” and on Broadway as Roxie Hart in “Chicago.” Her original tenure was extended due to high ticket demand, and she will return to the position next month. Madix, a former bartender, published a best-selling cocktail recipe book and launched a sandwich business called “Something About Her” in Los Angeles with “Vanderpump” co-star Katie Maloney.
Madix has spent the past month in Fiji filming “Love Island USA.” She describes the work as a dream come true for a superfan like herself.
“I love watching how this show is made,” Madix stated in a recent Zoom interview. “There’s a crew of about 400 people who work on the show to make it happen and turn these episodes around virtually in real time. It is really stunning.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Accused Of Sex Trafficking And Sexual Assault In Lawsuit By Former Adult Film Actress
Adria English, a former adult video actor who claims to have worked for Sean “Diddy” Combs from 2004 to 2009, accused the music mogul of sex trafficking and sexual assault in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.
The 114-page complaint claims that Combs and other defendants in the case exploited English as “a sexual pawn for the pleasure and financial benefit of others” during “White Parties” at Combs’ mansions in the Hamptons, New York, and Miami, Florida. The case, filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, also claims Combs compelled English to “engage in prostitution and sex work” from 2006 to 2009.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Accused Of Sex Trafficking And Sexual Assault In Lawsuit By Former Adult Film Actress
The lawsuit is the ninth against Combs since November and the eighth expressly accusing him of sexual assault. One of the eight lawsuits filed by former girlfriend Cassie Ventura has been resolved. Another lawsuit accuses his son Christian Combs of sexual assault, while Sean Combs is accused of aiding and abetting.
“No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone,” stated Jonathan Davis, an attorney for Combs, in response to English’s claim.
“We live in a society where anyone can bring a lawsuit for any reason and without providing proof. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to determine the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident in his ability to succeed in court against these and other unfounded charges,” the attorney continued.
English’s claim wants a jury trial and undisclosed punitive damages.
Combs has aggressively refuted charges in many of the civil complaints but has not responded to them. In December 2023, after four lawsuits were filed against him, Combs issued a vehement denial on social media, claiming that “sickening allegations” were made by accusers “looking for a quick payday.”
He said, “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged.”

Federal investigators are also prepared to put Combs’ accusers before a federal grand jury, two individuals familiar with the investigation previously told CNN, indicating that the US Justice Department is considering an indictment of Combs.
Bringing those who have filed civil complaints against Combs before a grand jury would represent a significant step forward in the government’s continuing investigation into the producer and Bad Boy Records founder.
