Bill Hader has the tea on Martin Kove.

Bruce Willis' wife confesses she 'wants it all back' in raw Father's Day tribute to actor
Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Heming Willis, is sharing a special message for her husband on Father's Day. Emma, who shares daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11, with the actor, has been open about the process of becoming Bruce's caregiver following the announcement of his dementia diagnosis in 2023. She's become an advocate for caregivers and for raising awareness surrounding brain health, and she continued that message in a post on Instagram today for the holiday. Along with what appears to be a new photo of Bruce with one of his daughters, Emma wrote, 'Happy Father's Day to all the dads living with disability or disease, showing up in the ways they can and to the children who show up for them.' She continued, 'What Bruce teaches our girls goes far beyond words. Resilience, unconditional love, and the quiet strength in simply being present. This photo says so much. Love deepens. It adapts. It stays, even when everything else changes.' 7 Bruce Willis and Emma Heming Willis celebrate Bruce Willis' 60th birthday in 2015. WireImage In an effort to 'be fair' to herself, Emma added that 'these symbolic days stir up a lot.' 'I'm profoundly sad today,' she admitted. 'I wish, with every cell in my body, that things could be different for him and lighter for our family.' She wrote that in the community she's found with people affected by Bruce's diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, one common saying is 'It is what it is.' 7 Bruce Willis and Wife Emma Heming Celebrate Her Birthday With His Ex Demi Moore and Daughter Rumer.

It grounds me. It helps me return to the acceptance of what is and not fight this every step of the way like I used to.' Emma concluded her post by urging her followers, 'Today, let's celebrate the badass dads, those who are here, and those we carry with us. Onward.' In her Instagram story, she shared a series of old photos of Bruce with their two daughters. 7 Bruce Willis with his two daughters at a museum.

'I miss and mourn what was,' Emma wrote, joking, 'Even those Ugg days.' 'I want it all back.' Bruce, who also shares daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31, with ex-wife Demi Moore, was first diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder. His family shared the diagnosis in 2022, along with the announcement that he'd be retiring from acting. 7 Bruce Willis and Emma Heming at the Comedy Central Roast of Bruce Willis.

This fall, Emma will release a book about the process and what she's learned from it, called 'The Unexpected Journey.' While speaking at the Women's Alzheimer's Movement Forum in Las Vegas last month, she spoke about the moment that inspired the book. 'On the day Bruce got his diagnosis, we left the doctor's office with a pamphlet and a hollow goodbye. No plan, no guidance, no hope, just shock,' she told the crowd during the forum, per People. 'The future we imagined simply vanished, and I was left trying to hold my family together, raise our two young daughters, and care for the man I love while navigating a disease I barely understood.' 7 Bruce Willis and Emma Heming at an event in Shanghai. VCG via Getty Images 'I felt lost, isolated and scared,' Emma, who was being honored for her advocacy for caregiving, said. 'What I needed in that moment at that appointment wasn't just medical information. I needed someone to look me in the eye and say, 'This feels impossible right now, but you will find your footing. You will survive this, and you will grow because of it.'' 'The book is the roadmap I wish someone had handed me on the day in 2022,' she said. 'I wrote it for other caregivers who are desperate for answers, aching for support, and wanting to be seen and wondering how they're going to make it through.'

I Asked ChatGPT To Roast My Credit Card Habits — and Its Advice Might Actually Save Me Money
Sometimes, you just need to have a good laugh at yourself, and ChatGPT can provide that. Recently, people have been asking ChatGPT to roast everything from how they look at work to their Instagram feeds. ChatGPT attacked one user's Instagram with 'Blurry night shots of a fair? Classic. I hope the funnel cake was worth it because this shot sure wasn't.' Harsh. Most of it is in good fun, but sometimes ChatGPT can illuminate something about yourself that you might not be the most proud of and want to change, like your financial habits. Personally, I've been leaning a little too much on my credit card lately after taking a few trips, and should probably get my budget back on track. Learn More: Consider This: I decided to be brave and ask ChatGPT to roast my credit card habits, hoping it would make my overspending seem a little less serious, and maybe even help me out. Here's what it had to say. First, I asked ChatGPT to roast my credit card habits, as if it might already have been tracking me in some way (I mean, that doesn't seem that far out of the realm, does it?) and it replied: 'Absolutely — hit me with the details first! I need to know your credit card habits (e.g., how often you use it, whether you carry a balance, if you pay late, what you're buying, etc.) so I can roast you properly and help you improve them, too.' Ugh. Okay. I guess I have to be vulnerable. I replied: 'I use my credit card a few times a week. I do have a balance of about $1,000 that I'm working to pay off. I never pay late and usually pay way over the minimum.' What came next was honestly heartwarming? I didn't know a robot would make me feel better about myself? Read Next: ChatGPT started by saying, 'Alright, let's break it down — gentle roast style, because honestly? You're doing way better than most.' Okay, thank you so much! But, I knew the worst was yet to come. So, I let ChatGPT tear my habits apart. 'So you're out here using your credit card a few times a week like it's a loyalty punch card at your favorite coffee shop, huh? But at least you've got the good sense not to treat the minimum payment like it's a suggestion from a shady friend. Respect. 'A $1,000 balance isn't the worst financial sin, but it's like keeping a raccoon in your living room: manageable for now, but don't let it get comfortable. 'And the fact that you never pay late? Chef's kiss. You're the responsible mess we all aspire to be.' The loyalty punch card may have hit a little too close to home, as I have used it to buy a lot of coffees this week, but ChatGPT did make me feel better about my balance, and the fact that I pay on time. It's the little wins, you know? I've never seen a 'Comedy Central Roast' where the comedians followed up their insults with suggestions on how to improve, so this was a welcome twist. After the roasting wrapped up, ChatGPT gave the following tips in a friendly, emoji-accompanied list: Paying above the minimum = [Three hand-clapping emojis] Never missing a payment = [Flex emoji] credit score gold Just focus on knocking that balance down steadily — and if possible, stop adding to it while you're paying it off. Overall, not too bad of a roast, and I got solid advice out of it. Maybe I should ask ChatGPT to roast my cooking next so I stop making barely edible dinners.

JJ Tabane, Londie London and more talk about Helen Zille's Roast
Whether it is her hard-hitting journalism or the indelible mark she has left in South Africa's politics, DA federal chair Helen Zille has become known for her approach to public affairs and media. Never afraid to jump in front of the camera with viral stars and meme kings and queens, May 16 will see her survive her first Comedy Central Roast. From Baywatch actor David Hasselhoff to US President Donald Trump, the Roasts have been a popular stage for big-name Hollywood figures and has-beens alike, who are honoured for their achievements through insult comedy. Speaking to Zille on the event's red carpet, TimesLIVE asked whether this was her downplaying some of the contentious and divisive remarks made in the past that have offended many in and out of politics. Zille said she was more than keen to leave people feeling hot under the collar. 'I'm here to ruffle some more feathers. I'm here to take feather-ruffling to the next level,' she said. We spoke to a stars who will take to the stage to find out what they think about Zille's upcoming Roast. NAMBITHA BEN-MAZWI I think this is a smart rebrand. We get to see a side of her that is more likeable for the target audience, which is us, the youth. Politics is very serious and there's a lot we can get into, but I try not to get into it publicly. These are my dinner-party conversations. However, I think it's a very smart strategy and after tonight I think there will be a huge audience that follows her and sees her in a different light. I see the Martha Stewart strategy here. It will be a rebrand and you won't see it coming. JJ TABANE She has to account for the things she's said. My view is that her tongue is a double-edged sword. That's what I'll be taking the Mickey out of. PRINCE DUBE Tumi Morake on the red carpet at the Laugh Africa Comedy Festival in Sandton. Image: Thapelo Morebudi If Donald Trump or Justin Bieber can be roasted, who is Helen? You know what? After this, can we get Cyril [Ramaphosa]? Even Jacob Zuma, we are here for it. TUMI MORAKE What makes it great — and we've watched a lot of American ones — we want somebody who is on top of people's minds and they've affected people one way or another. They have a large body of work and with Helen we had to cut down on the things we want to talk about. She is the perfect fit for this. LONDIE LONDON All I can say is you guys need to look out for this Roast. Nothing is going to be downplayed. Everything about Helen is out there, so she can be roasted about it. That auntie has a lot of issues, from the things she did in the 2010s to her issues with Zuma. It will be an interesting Roast.
