California will be soon be getting a Robin Williams Tunnel.
A bill to rename the tunnel, which connects the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County and was once part of the comedian’s daily commute, sailed through the California Assembly 76-0 yesterday. The tunnel is currently known as the Waldo Tunnel and has also been nicknamed the “rainbow tunnel” because of its painted archways.
The bill, which started out as an online petition, will now be considered by the state Senate.
The tunnel’s rainbows “personify Robin in that he was so playful, fun, accessible, alive and colorful” and are also reminiscent of the suspenders he wore in Mork and Mindy, writes petition starter Julie Wainwright, who lived near Williams in Marin County.
Katy Perry’s performance during halftime at this year’s Super Bowl is still a hot topic at the U.S. Trademark Office. Katy got bad news that her company’s initial attempts to register a “Left Shark” design had been rejected.
Dancing with two background dancers dressed as sharks, Perry had social media buzzing during her performance.
The “Left Shark” became an Internet meme after the Super Bowl, so Perry’s team tried to capitalize. They included a registration on the design as well as the phrases, “Left Shark,” “Right Shark,” “Drunk Shark,” and “Basking Shark.”
According to the Trademark folks, there’s not enough evidence submitted yet that consumers look at “Left Shark” and think a Katy Perry music performance.

John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse Katsopolis on the popular ABC family comedy of the late 1980s and early 1990s, confirmed rumors of the show’s reboot Monday on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, telling Kimmel Netflix had ordered 13 episodes of the new comedy. He said the series would kick off with a one-hour special.
Later in the evening, the streaming service put out its own announcement, saying “Fuller House” will premiere in 2016. The comedy will star “Full House” veterans Candace Cameron-Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, with Stamos set to produce and guest star.
Netflix says it is talking to other “Full House” stars, including Bob Saget, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin, about participating as guest stars.
Stamos told Kimmel that “Fuller House” will focus on D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Cameron-Bure) and her children; her sister, Stephanie Tanner (Sweetin); and their memorable kooky neighbor, Kimmy Gibbler (Barber).
According to the Netflix announcement, “Fuller House” will continue the adventures that began in the original, eight-season comedy, “with veterinarian D.J. Tanner-Fuller pregnant and recently widowed, living in San Francisco. D.J.’s younger sister/aspiring musician Stephanie Tanner and D.J.’s lifelong best friend/fellow single mother Kimmy Gibbler, along with Kimmy’s feisty teenage daughter Ramona, all move in to help take care of D.J.’s two boys – the rebellious 12-year-old J.D. and neurotic 7-year-old Max – and her soon-to-arrive baby.”
Nicki Minaj has kept her engagement to rapper Meek Mill relatively under the radar, except for the picture of her larger-than-life engagement ring.
When she made a surprise appearance during Drake’s Coachella performance on Sunday, she got a hug and congrats… and fans were wondering if it was for her engagement.
Drake said, “The love of my life. I love this girl right here, we family forever. Congratulations and all that.”
When the two musicians went it for their emotional moment, her massive ring is pretty evident! Although neither Meek nor Nicki have explicitly said they’re engaged, a source told E! News that they are set to tie the knot.
Just a few hours after Nicki Minaj teased engagement news on Twitter, she posted a ring pic on Instagram.
After seeing the ring, a jeweler said: “This looks like a 15-carat fancy yellow heart modified brilliant cut diamond mounted in platinum with a double halo of white pavé diamonds. This would retail for approximately $500,000…”
A source confirmed that Nicki and Meek Mill are in fact engaged. “Both Meek and Nicki have been spending amazing quality time together lately and have gotten extremely close these past few months. It may seem like it all is happening very quickly but Nicki and Meek are in this 100. They truly love each other.”
