Henry Winkler Gushes Over 1st EmmyWin: Finally The ‘Right’ Time For Him ToTake Home The Award
Four decades after his first nomination, now was the right time for Henry Winkler’s first Emmy, he told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY after winning Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
Henry Winkler, 72, is a television veteran. He was first nominated for a Primetime Emmy in 1976 for his most well-known role, The Fonz, on Happy Days. He was an Emmy nominee four more times after that, again for Happy Days, as well as his roles in Who Are the DeBolts? And Where Did They Get Nineteen Kids? and The Practice. Henry finally took home a trophy after the 2018 Emmy Awards on Sept. 17 after winning Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Gene Cousineau on Barry, starring fellow Emmy winnerBill Hader. But the legendary actor doesn’t think his Emmy is long overdue! HollywoodLife caught up with Henry after the award show, and one of comedy’s most respected figures EXCLUSIVELY spilled to us about his first Emmys win.
We asked Barry if now was the right time to win his Emmy. “You know what, it seems to be,” he admitted to HollywoodLife in the press room. “It is the time. It is actually the moment I won and it has got to be right!” He later added in the group panel that winning was “wonderful,” mentioning that he’s been “nominated before.” And while the crowd in Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater loved Henry’s speech, which he joked that he wrote “43 years ago,” Henry thinks he left out some honorable mentions. “Oh, but I didn’t get to thank the kids in my class who make me a great teacher,” Henry told us. Funnily, Henry plays an acting teacher on Barry, who gives lessons to Bill Hader’s character, Barry Berkman. Earlier this year, HBO put up fake advertisements of “Acting Teacher Extraordinaire” Gene M. Cousineau on Manhattan’s buses and subway cars, with Henry’s face on them. The actor added, “And I didn’t get to thank HBO… Who put us on the air.”
We then asked if Henry anticipates another win at the next Golden Globes, which will take place on Jan. 6, 2019. “Oh, I have no idea. I won many years ago for Happy Days and then Heroes, but I have no idea. But I’m excited for now,” he mused to us. Henry’s being modest — he won Best Actor for a Television Series Musical or Comedy consecutively in 1977 and 1978 for his role in Happy Days. Later at the HBO after-party in West Hollywood, Henry dished on what it’s like to work with Barry‘s star Bill, who won the coveted award for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2018 Emmys. “I will tell you when he is producing, he is not a comedian, he is focused and serious,” Henry revealed. “He would write the script, he would mouth it with you even if he was in your scene. You’d have to remind him we are acting together, I can see your lips moving. He would say to me, ‘Henry, please just once say it the way I wrote it so I could hear it.’ And my mind and my mouth are not always friends. So I said, ‘I’m trying.'”
So, how does it feel like to hold an Emmy trophy? “It feels unbelievable. On Wednesday, in two days, we start the second season and I’m on this great show,” Henry told us at the HBObash. “I was 27 when I started doing the Fonz. I’m now 72 and I’m standing right here in front of you with her,” and proceeded to hold up the award for us to admire. Henry ends on a topic not everyone knows about: his dyslexia. “You know what, I’m very dyslexic. And I don’t know that I could have done anything else,” he admitted, referring to his acting career. “It was never in my mind, in my body, in my heart to do anything else. And every job is like a puzzle. It’s like a big puzzle. And all the pieces are a shade of blue and I have to put them together each time. So it is like an amazing challenge every time, no matter how big or how small, in order to create a living breathing human being so that I can be on this stage with her.” He proudly lifted his trophy once again.
So, did Henry really write that speech 43 years ago? Well, he might have been exaggerating a tad. “No. That was another speech,” the jokester told us. “Different people. I forgot to thank HBO. I wanted to say for everybody that works between the roof and the lobby on both coasts, they took such good care of our show. I forgot that.”

Cardi B’s Still Furious With Nicki MinajAfter NYFW Fight: Spent All Night In StudioRecording Diss Track
Cardi B is not letting go of her anger for Nicki Minaj after their infamous fight during New York Fashion Week and she’s using her music as a way to get back to the fellow rapper.
Cardi B, 25, is still reeling over her fight with Nicki Minaj, 35, at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party during New York Fashion Week and she’s putting the negative energy into a new diss track! “Cardi B is still furious at Nicki and she is coming after her in a new diss track which might be released very soon, maybe even in the next few days or later this week,” a hip hop insider EXCLUSIVELY shared with HollywoodLife. “Cardi was in the studio working all night last night on the track which is full of heated words. She has been feeling inspired to get a few things off her chest because she has never felt more disrespected and motivated at the same time. New music is coming soon and Nicki better brace for impact.”
It sure sounds like Cardi is doing what she can to get back at the “Superbass” singer. After walking out of the party with a huge bump on her head, the new mother proved she’s willing to do whatever it takes to stand up for what she believes in. Shortly after the fight, Cardi took to social media to defend herself and explain that she did what she did because Nicki was allegedly talking ill of her baby daughter Kulture. Nicki denied the claim on her radio show, Queen Radio and pointed out that Cardi is an alleged liar.
Cardi’s diss track won’t be the first time she’s dissed Nicki. She recently took to social media to post a photo of top hip hop album sales for the year and pointed out that “numbers don’t lie” indicating her album Invasion of Privacywas on the list and Nicki’s album Queen was not. The post came after Nicki posted a series of tweets claiming she had the top album in the U.S. It will be interesting to see what Cardi’s diss track will say but either way, we’re sure she’ll have a lot of fans jumping to hear it!

Justin Bieber Friends & Family ‘InsistingHe Slow Down’ His Relationship WithHailey Baldwin
While Jusitn Bieber can’t wait to make Hailey Baldwin his wife, his friends and family are telling him to pump the brakes on the speed that their relationship has moved at.
Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin‘s romance went from zero to engaged at record speed. They just started dating in June after a brief romance in early 2016, and by July 7 the Biebs had popped the question. Now that the couple has applied for a marriage license, friends and family realize this wedding is happening soon and wishing he’d not make such a race towards the altar. “Justin doesn’t feel like he is rushing into anything and it bothers him when friends or family question his actions or insist he slow down,” a source close to the 24-year-old singer tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
“He knows in his heart that Hailey is the only one for him, for the rest of his life, and it saddens him out when anyone tries to judge or question him otherwise. Justin does not think he is rushing into anything. He has always wanted to be a father and he knows marrying Hailey is the best thing in the world and will make an amazing mother to his kids. He feels lucky to have her and can’t wait to start a family with her,” our insider adds.
The “Sorry” singer has always seemed to know Hailey was the one, even when he wasn’t ready to be a fully committed boyfriend to her. In a 2016 interview with GQ, he revealed “I know that in the past I’ve hurt people and said things that I didn’t mean to make them happy in the moment. So now I’m just more so looking at the future, making sure I’m not damaging them. What if Hailey ends up being the girl I’m gonna marry, right? If I rush into anything, if I damage her, then it’s always gonna be damaged. It’s really hard to fix wounds like that. It’s so hard. I just don’t want to hurt her.”
Whoa! Talk about prophetic. At the time Justin added, “Right now in my life, I don’t want to be held down by anything. I already have a lot that I have to commit to. A lot of responsibilities. I don’t want to feel like the girl I love is an added responsibility.” The Biebs has since taken a seemingly indefinite break from any upcoming album plans and can’t stand touring. Now that he’s had plenty of downtime over the last year, he’s finally been able to make his personal life his biggest priority. He just wants to be a husband and father, while being an international pop superstar is secondary to his life.

A four-year-old girl identified as Thanyaluk Salitakun was out playing innocently on her bicycle when was savagely mauled to death by three dogs that got out of a neighbor's yard in Thailand on Tuesday.
When Ban Khawao, Chaiyaphum, police arrived in the soi behind some houses they found a lot of blood on the walkway and in the grass.
Little Thanyaluk pink bicycle was on its side. The four year old died on the way to hospital from her injuries and massive blood loss.
Next door neighbor Noppapon Kunthanawat, 57, said he was watching TV in his house about 5pm on Tuesday when he heard the girl's screams.
He rushed out and saw the dogs savaging the girls neck and head. He managed to beat the dogs off and they ran into nearby houses.
By this time Thanyaluk was bleeding profusely and lying still in the grass. She was rushed to hospital but it was too late.
Noppapon said that the dogs responsible for the attack were kept in pens in a neighbor's house. They were a pregnant Thai dog breed, a male Thai dog breed and a poodle. They were aged about 2-3 years each.
The girl's grandmother said that she was looking after her two grandchildren and was preparing food at the time. Their mum, a teacher, had not come back from work yet.
Thanyaluk had gone out to play on her bike in the soi as she always did.
She said that the owner of the dogs was a good neighbor but he is yet to take responsibility for what happened. She wanted the incident to be a warning to dog owners to always keep their pets inside the house.
The dog's owner - 27 year old Piyanat Daengsoi - has initially been charged with an offence related to allowing fierce animals out in the street where they could do harm.
For this he would face a maximum of one month in jail or a 10,000 baht fine.
If negligence could be proven he could be in more serious trouble, said Pol Lt-Col Thongsuk Ratseewor.

. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) says it will commence nationwide strike after the expiration of its 14 days ultimatum given to the Federal Government on the new minimum wage.
Mr Ayuba Wabba, NLC president, said this while addressing newsmen at the end of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the congress on Wednesday in Abuja.
Wabba said that the industrial action would become necessary if orgnised labour’s demand to reconvene the Tripartite Committee on the National Minimum Wage for workers was not met.
It would be recalled that the organised labour had issued the Federal Government 14-day ultimatum that commenced on the Sept.12.
The Organised Labour had insisted that the Tripartite Committee on the new National Minimum Wage should conclude its work within the stipulated time frame.
According to him, NEC in session has expressed disappointment at the manner in which the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage unilaterally adjourned the meeting indefinitely.
“NEC expresses serious concern at the unilateral adjournment of the negotiation of the new minimum wage by the Federal Government on the day the tripartite committee was expected to complete its assignment.
“NEC noted that this is against the principle of collective bargaining as provided in International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions 98 and 131 on Minimum Wage setting process, which Nigeria had domesticated.
“NEC has resolved to commence action at the expiration of the 14 days ultimatum issued to the Federal Government over the new minimum wage, if the demand of the organised labour was not met.
“That NEC has given National Administrative Council and the leadership of organised labour the power to declare appropriate industrial action or any action it deems necessary.
The NLC president also said that the NEC in session had approved and applauded the organised labour for taking a proactive step by issuing a statutory 14 days industrial action notice.
He said NEC in session noted that the ultimatum issued to the government would preserve the sanctity of the collective bargaining process.
Wabba also said that the demand for the tripartite committee to reconvene within a set period to finalise its report was in line with the principles of collective bargaining.
“NEC also resolve that all its affiliate unions and the 36 state councils of Congress and the FCT and joint action front should communicate the decision of NEC to their members and all workers, ‘’ he added.(NAN)
