Cool Pics From Around the Web: RIP Jerry Lewis, Star Wars, Yondu love

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

We live in an age of sharing, where every moment is captured and sent into the world for liking, commenting, judging and making us feel like we have more friends than we do. As a result, the world seems so much smaller than it is, and one revolution to come out of the social media age is that we can connect with some of our icons and heroes with the click of a button, getting a glimpse into the elusive world of the show business. Here with the feature Cool Pics From Around the Web we will assemble some of the coolest, funniest, and possibly revealing photographs of the week from some of the world’s biggest stars. Don’t worry, no food pics in sight…unless someone made a dope cake in the shape of R2-D2.

This week's recap of cool pics is a leaner bunch as most people used their photo time to show themselves staring at the sun in amazement like cave people. But there were a few little gems out there ranging from cool, funny and tragic. The latter comes in the form of celebrities saying goodbye to two legendary voices of comedy, Jerry Lewis and Dick Gregory. Stars like Chris Rock, Martin Scorsese and Ava DuVernay took to social media to share their thoughts and favorite pictures and messages from the two icons over the weekend. As for fun stuff there's a look into the editing bay from STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI, Michael Rooker chilling with some very committed Yondu fans, and Kevin Smith taking to Twitter last night to announce the start date for JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT.

Comedian, filmmaker and three-time Oscar host Jerry Lewis was also known for his annual telethons, which raised money to fight Muscular Dystrophy. In 2009, the Academy recognized Lewis with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. During his acceptance speech, he said: "For most of my life, I thought that doing good for someone didn't mean you would receive commendation for that act of kindness, at least until now. This award touches my heart and the very depth of my soul because of who the award is from and those who will benefit. The humility I feel is staggering and I know it'll stay with me for the rest of my life." Thank you, Jerry, for all you have given us over the years.

Jerry Lewis was a master. He was a giant. He was an innovator. He was a great entertainer. He was a great artist. And he was a remarkable man. I had the honor of working with him, and it was an experience I'll always treasure. He was, truly, one of our greats. Rest In Peace, Jerry.

We lost a king. They'll never be another. Read his books. Look him up you won't be disappointed. Unfortunately the America that produced Dick Gregory still exists. Rest In Peace Dick Gregory my hero.

#tbt to that time when I wasn't designing and painting superheroes. Between Iron Man and Iron Man 2 I worked on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. These are designs for a Lamborghini bot. He didn't make it in to the final movie, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think they ended up changing it to an Audi. I loved Transformers as a kid so to work on this project was incredibly cool. There wasn't a toy of this one but I loved Sideswipe as a kid and I also got to work on some designs for him. #transformers #robotsindisguise #lamborghini #cars #robotdesign #toys #hasbro #conceptart #throwbackthursday #revengeofthefallen #michaelbay
