The best friend of the week ...
... is Duchess Meghan. At least Serena Williams says that was very happy about the visit of her royal friend at the US Open. "Meghan is great," Williams told the US celebrity site "E! News".
"She literally flew across the sea just for a few hours of support and with a newborn baby," said the tennis player. He continued, "She is the most positive, greatest person I know." If her daughter had been the same age, she probably would not have done it, Williams admitted. "But that kind of person is Meghan."

Serena Williams: Count on meThe Father of the Week ...
... ... is Ashton Kutcher. The US actor broke his toe as he tried to get his four-year-old daughter back to bed. Because his leg had fallen asleep, he fell as he got up from bed. His toe stale in the wrong direction, he told on the TV show "Live with Kelly and Ryan".
At three o'clock in the morning he did not want to call an ambulance, said Kutcher. That's why he made it like Mel Gibson in "Lethal Weapon": "I just turned him back." His wife Mila Kunis was enthusiastic about his pragmatism: "That's the hottest thing I've ever seen," she said.

Ashton Kutcher: First AidThe pensioner of the week is ...
... is Tina Turner. According to an article in the New York Times, the singer still enjoys her retirement ten years after her last concert - and apparently has no desire for the stage.
All her life she has done everything for others: "I was just tired of singing and making everyone happy." This is obviously different: "I do not sing, I do not dance, I'm not smart," said the 79-year-old. A statement that the newspaper according to the photo shoot for the article was not quite fair: "When the camera appeared, she turned on," it says.
Happy retirement
Ten years is the farewell tour of Tina Turner ago - and the singer has apparently no comeback plans. Occasionally, she shows up in public, as here at a photo session in Hamburg in October 2018.
"I was just tired of singing and making everyone happy," Turner told The New York Times. Here is the singer at a gig in 1984.
Editor's note: In an earlier version, it was said that Tina Turner was probably to be seen in 1970. We have corrected the information.

Editor's note: In an earlier version, it was said that Tina Turner was probably to be seen in 1970. We have corrected the information.
She had a "terrible life," Turner said. Her first husband Ike (pictured here probably from 1960) abused the singer during her 14-year relationship.
Today Turner is married to the German music manager Erwin Bach. The couple - to be seen here in 2007 - lives in Switzerland.
The Photoshop expert of the week
... ... is Priyanka Chopra. Because the 37-year-old has explained why she was not at the side of husband Nick Jonas at the MTV Video Music Awards - and with technical aids inserted into a highly regarded image.
"I was sick that day," she said. The evening should actually be something special. "I think Nick felt really bad that he was there and I was not feeling well," said Chopra. She followed the event from the couch and felt as if she had abandoned her husband.
"I was sick that day"
At the MTV Video Music Awards, the Jonas Brothers were honored for Best Pop Video.
A joyful moment that one of the brothers had to spend without his wife. Nick Jonas was a bit lost between his brothers, who were hugged by their sweetheart.
Now Priyanka Chopra has explained why she stayed away from the event. "I was sick that day," she said "Entertainment Tonight."
For this reason, she was only able to follow the award ceremony from the couch - and insert herself into the picture via Photoshop. "I'm always with you, Nick Jonas," she wrote.
For the future, the couple seems to have big plans. On her to-do list, "buy a house and have a baby," said Chopra in an interview with the Indian Vogue.
At that moment, she apparently came up with an idea: she photoshopped herself into the recording of the moment of the announcement of the win. Then Chopra released her on Instagram with the comment "I'm always with you, Nick Jonas."
The announcement of the week ...
... came from Pierce Brosnan. The former James Bond actor thinks it's time for a female 007 agent. "Get out of the way, boys, and hire a woman," said the 66-year-old. "I think it would be intoxicating, it would be exciting." However, among the current producers, Brosnan considers it unlikely that a woman will star in the next film.
In 2017, the current Bond actor Daniel Craig had announced that he only wanted to shoot an agent film. Since then, many rumors circulated about who could follow in his footsteps. Among the names are: Idris Elba, Richard Madden, Cillian Murphy and Tom Hiddleston - and British actress Lashana Lynch.
Pierce Brosnan relies on female bond
Irish actor Pierce Brosnan said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that it was time to pave the way for a female 007 agent.Brosnan played James Bond four times between 1995 and 2002.
Current Bond actor Daniel Craig claimed in 2015 in an interview with Time Out that he would rather cut his wrists than shoot another Bond movie. In 2017, he then agreed to embody the role of Bond one last time - in the 25th movie "No Time to Die".
In addition to numerous male actors and Lashana Lynch was traded as a possible Craig successor. The 32-year-old British woman with Jamaican roots is to play the role of a woman named Nomi in "No Time to Die".
Pierce Brosnan supports the idea of turning James Bond into a secret agent. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, he said, "Get out of the way, boys, and hire a woman." According to Brosnan, the bond producers have to keep up with the times and consider a woman for the lead role after the #MeToo debate.
In "Die Another Day," the 20th James Bond series, Halle Berry played Bond Girl Jinx on Brosnan's side. The British "Daily Mail" reported in July that after the #MeToo debate, all the people involved in the shoot were told to name the "Bond Girls" only "Bond women".
The thanks of the week ...
... directed Joaquin Phoenix at his deceased brother. At a gala event, the 44-year-old told River Phoenix that he was encouraged to act: "I'm in his debt, acting has given me such an incredible life."
In his speech, he described the crucial moment: "When I was 15 or 16 years old, my brother River got home after working on a video tape of the movie 'Raging Bull.' He sat me down and let me watch the movie." The next day, he woke him up and let the movie be seen again. "And then he said: You start acting again, you will do that."
