Ron Howard recalls first date with wife on 48th anniversary

Ron Howard celebrated his past and future with wife Cheryl Howard on their 48th anniversary.

The 64-year-old director recalled his first date with Cheryl in an Instagram post Thursday on their anniversary as a couple.

Howard shared a photo of himself and Cheryl standing in front of their 1970 Volkwagen Beetle. The couple drove the car during their night out on the town.

"Cheryl and I went on our 1st date in this very 1970 #VWBug. Many kids and grandkids later, we're still going out!" Howard captioned the post.

Howard and Cheryl married in July 1975 and are parents to four children: actor Reed Howard and actresses Bryce Dallas Howard, Paige Howard and Jocelyn Howard. Howard gave insight into his lasting relationship in a previous interview with HuffPost Live.

"It does take a little luck to grow together and that's what's required. Compatibility and her good patience," the star said. "It's been a real blessing."

"I felt really lucky when we met," he added. "It's crazy -- we were teenagers, it shouldn't have worked. We got married young, that shouldn't have worked either, and yet it really and truly has."

Howard is known for such films as Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, The DaVinci Code and Solo: A Star Wars Story. He will direct adaptations of the JP Delany novel The Girl Before and the Neal Stephenson book Seveneaves.

Alec Baldwin denies punching man in parking spat

30 Rock and Saturday Night Live Emmy winner Alec Baldwin has denied on Twitter allegations that he punched a man in a dispute over a parking spot.

"1 - Normally, I would not comment on something as egregiously misstated as today's story. However, the assertion that I punched anyone over a parking spot is false. I wanted to go on the record stating as much. I realize that it has become a sport to tag people w as many negative," Baldwin tweeted.

He added: "2- negative charges and defaming allegations as possible for the purposes of clickbait entertainment. Fortunately, no matter how reverberating the echos, it doesn't make the statements true."

Police confirmed the 60-year-old actor was arrested Friday morning after the alleged altercation and was expected to be charged with third-degree assault.

Baldwin was previously arrested on a disorderly conduct charge in 2014. He was acquitted of battery in the 1990s after allegedly fighting with a photographer.

HGTV reunites 'Brady Bunch' stars at sitcom house

HGTV posted on Twitter a new photo of the stars of The Brady Bunch standing in front of their former sitcom home in Studio City, Calif.

"It's a sunshine day as we kick off A Very Brady Renovation," the image is captioned.

Appearing in the snapshot are Maureen McCormack (Marcia), Christopher Knight (Peter), Susan Olsen (Cindy), Mike Lookinland (Bobby), Eve Plumb (Jan) and Barry Williams (Greg). Their show initially ran 1969-74, spawned numerous spinoffs and parodies, and remains popular in re-runs.

The network said it purchased in August the split-level ranch house used for exterior shots on the show and plans to renovate the interior to reflect the way it looked on the sitcom, which was taped in a television studio.

The transformation will be documented in a series called A Very Brady Renovation, which is scheduled to premiere in 2019. The new show will feature HGTV stars Jonathan and Drew Scott, Mina Starsiak and Karen E. Laine, Leanne and Steve Ford, Jasmine Roth and Lara Spencer, as well as celebrity guests.

"What's so exciting about this project is that we are creating one of the most iconic homes from many of our viewers' childhoods," said Loren Ruch, senior vice president of HGTV programming and partnerships. "It will be the first time in history that the house from all of our memories will be created in a real brick-and-mortar location. It is certain to be a trip down memory lane."
