Carol Burnett on career longevity: 'Here's to reruns and YouTube'

The inaugural Carol Burnett Award for special achievement in television was presented to its namesake at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in Los Angeles Sunday night.

In accepting the honor with tears in her eyes,the 85-year-old entertainer recalled being raised by her grandmother to love films and then, when it became available, television.

"Regardless of the medium, what fascinated me was the way the stars on the screen could make people laugh or cry or sometimes both and I wished and I hoped that maybe -- just maybe, someday -- I could have the chance to do the same thing," she said. "Well, those childhood dreams came true."

She said she is very proud that people still seem to connect to The Carol Burnett Show, a variety program that featured a live orchestra and dancers, and dozens of costumes each episode. It initially ran 1967-78.

Burnett also said she didn't think the show could get made today since it would likely be too expensive and have so many other series to compete with.

"Today's audiences might never know what they are missing, so here's to reruns and YouTube," she said. "What has remained the same for every person who is lucky enough to be on television is the belief that we have been given the opportunity to do something special."

Burnett was the first woman to host a variety sketch show, and also the first woman to win both the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and Kennedy Center Honor.

The Golden Globes recognize excellence in film and television. Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh are hosting this year's gala, which is airing live on NBC.

"I think I saw my kids a total of five days all summer. It was terrible ... It's this weird thing where when you're in this industry, you don't have time to be with them, and it's really, really difficult. I'm getting emotional right now talking about it ... Congrats, it's the first interview I've ever cried in."
--Bill Hader, opening up about the challenge of balancing his flourishing career with being a dad to his three daughters with his ex, to Variety

Jeff Bridges talks The Dude, changing society in Golden Globes speech

Jeff Bridges was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes and delivered a speech that touched on his career and how individuals can bring change to the world.

Bridges, who was introduced by Chris Pine, began his speech by thanking his family and friends including his wife Susan Geston for her love and support.

The actor then thanked various filmmakers he has worked with including directing duo the Coen brothers who featured Bridges in 1998's The Big Lebowski.

"You know if I'm lucky, I'll be associated with The Dude for the rest of my life," Bridges said about his iconic role in The Big Lebowski. "I feel so, you know, honored to be a part of that film."

Bridges continued by discussing how anyone can affect society and bring about change, mentioning his friend and architect Bucky Fuller. Bridges said Fuller used a little rudder known as a trim tab to help with the steering of oceangoing tankers.

"Bucky made the analogy that the trim tab is an example of how the individual is connected to society, and how we affect society. And I like to think of myself as a trim tab, and all of us are trim tabs," Bridges said.

"We may seem like we're not up to the task, but we are, man. We're alive. We can make a difference. We can turn this ship in the way we want to go, man! Towards love, creating a healthy planet for all of us," he continued.

The Cecil B. DeMille Award is given to those who have made a lasting impact in the entertainment industry. Oprah Winfrey received the award in 2018.

Christina El Moussa details engagement and 'quiet' wedding

New bride Christina El Moussa is sharing details about her engagement and "quiet" wedding.

The 35-year-old television personality discussed husband Ant Anstead's proposal and their surprise nuptials in a joint interview with People published Thursday.

"We had an engagement, we just didn't tell anyone," Anstead said of keeping his proposal private.

"It's different for us now. We didn't want all the fuss. Just a quiet wedding without all the drama and paparazzi," El Moussa explained.

El Moussa and Anstead got engaged in September but kept the news quiet as they planned their wedding.

"I did the proposal on Newport Beach on the sand with some champagne at sunset," Anstead shared.

"He was like, 'Let's just go for a bike ride' and we were going to grab dinner," El Moussa added. "We were watching the sunset, and then all of a sudden he just got on his knee and proposed. So yes, I was surprised."

El Moussa and Anstead tied the knot Dec. 22 at a surprise wedding in Newport Beach, Calif., after initially telling their 70 guests they were attending a holiday boat parade. El Moussa shared a video from the ceremony Thursday on Instagram.

"12.22.18," she captioned the post.

El Moussa and Anstead were first linked in November 2017. El Moussa was previously married to her Flip or Flop co-star Tarek El Moussa, while Anstead was wed to Louise Anstead.

"Ant has been so supportive," El Moussa told E! News in June. "He always just says, 'You're an amazing person' ... He's so positive with me that he's just really lifted me up in so many ways."
