Matthew Perry has issued an apology following backlash over comments in his memoir questioning why popular actor Keanu Reeves is still alive while other celebrated talents have passed away. Describing himself as a fan of Reeves, Perry expressed regret for the remarks and humorously suggested he should have used his own name instead. The actor's offhand remark has drawn attention not only for its controversial nature but because Reeves is a beloved figure in Hollywood.

In other celebrity news, former Saturday Night Live comedian Chris Redd sustained injuries from an unexpected attack outside a New York comedy club. Sources revealed Redd was punched by a man in a security uniform, raising suspicions about possible motives given his recent romantic involvement with Kenan Thompson's estranged wife. Meanwhile, Kanye West reportedly harbored plans to name an album after Adolf Hitler, further intensifying reactions to his controversial antics.
