It would've been Carrie Fisher's 61st birthday on October 21, but that didn't stop her friends from celebrating a special occasion.

The outspoken, vivacious Hollywood luminary left us too soon when she unexpectedly passed away on December 27, 2016. But Fisher is hardly a personality you would quickly forget.

As the next installment of the Star Wars franchise The Last Jedi draws near, fans will be able to see Princess Leia one last time on the big screen. It's to be Fisher's final appearance in the sci-fi juggernaut franchise, and it is anticipated to be a poignant experience.

Giphy

One person, in particular, holds her memory close to his heart. Mark Hamill, Fisher's on-screen brother, is making sure nobody forgets the special person who ignited the screen with her presence and her ability "to make you feel like you were the most important thing in her life."

Hamill shared what it was like meeting Fisher for the first time with the Hollywood Reporter.

"You know, she was 19 years old at the time. I was a worldly 24. So I was thinking, 'Oh my God, it’ll be like working with a high school kid.' But I was just bowled over. I mean she was just so instantly ingratiating and funny and outspoken. She had a way of just being so brutally candid. I’d just met her but it was like talking to a person you’d known for ten years.

On the occasion of Fisher's birthday, the Skywalker is seen here cutting a rug with his dear friend.

Others followed suit in honoring Carrie Fisher's birthday. Her daughter Billie Catherine Lourd shared her memories in an Instagram post.

 

Two galaxies collide.

And the best tribute of all was from her beloved dog.

After Fisher went into cardiac arrest, her loyal pal reportedly never left her side in the hospital. But this is how her adorable furry friend will always remember her.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
