The Emmys' In Memoriam segment honours actors, directors, producers and other individuals in the entertainment industry who have passed away since last year’s ceremony – but one star was missing from last night's tribute. This year's segment honoured a number of stars including Betty White, Sidney Poitier, and Nichelle Nichols. But fans watching awards ceremony noticed that one star, the late Olivia Newton-John, who died on 8 August 2022 after a long battle with breast cancer, had been left out of the tributes.

John Travolta is "so proud" of his 11-year-old son who just completed a new level of ninja training.  Travolta, 68, shared a video with fans this week of his son climbing and swinging from monkey bars. "Ben just achieved a level 3 ninja and I'm so proud," he captioned the video. Many cheered him on in the comments section.
