4. Boston Marathon Bombing: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Defense Admits ‘It Was Him’
The defense team for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev made a stunning admission at the beginning of the accused Boston Marathon bomber’s trial: “It was him.”
“We’re all going to come face to face with unbearable grief, loss and pain caused by a series of senseless, horribly misguided acts carried out by two brothers, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother, 19-year-old Dzhokhar,” defense attorney Judy Clarke told the court. “We do not and will not at any point in this case sidestep or attempt to sidestep Dzhokhar’s responsibility for his actions. We think the question of ‘why’ is important.”
5. Adam Sandler and Bob Barker Recreated Their 'Happy Gilmore' Fight
Adam Sandler and Bob Barker are still fighting.
The duo – who hilariously brawled in the 1996 golf comedy “Happy Gilmore” – reprised their film rivalry for Comedy Central’s “Night of Too Many Stars,” recreating their infamous fighting scene, this time in a hospital room. “Night of Too Many Stars,” which airs Sunday, raises money for autism programs.
The scene opens with Barker in bed and Sandler sitting nearby, wearing his character’s usual Boston Bruins hockey jersey. The two trade insults.
“I’m fine. But you know, you are looking old. How old are you, 60?” Barker asks. “You’re looking chunkier than this soup … I guess doing all those movies without me took its toll.”
