2 Massachusetts natives take home awards at 75th Emmys
LOS ANGELES — Two Massachusetts natives took home awards at the 75th Primetime Emmys on Monday night for their roles in the hit shows that they starred in.
Ayo Edebiri, 28, of Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood, won an Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy series for playing chef Sydney Adamu in the Hulu show “The Bear.”
“This is a show about family, and found family and real family,” Edebiri said from the stage as she accepted the first trophy of the night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Edebiri was a first-time nominee. She also recently won her first Golden Globe.
Edebiri attended the Boston Latin School before moving on to New York University.
Edebiri is also known for her roles in “Bottoms,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” and “Big Mouth,” among many other credits.
Jennifer Coolidge, 62, of Norwell, won an Emmy for best supporting actress in a drama series for playing Tanya McQuoid in HBO’s “The White Lotus.”
“I wanna thank all the evil gays,” Coolidge joked in a shoutout to a viral moment from her character Tanya.
In January 2023, Coolidge was named the 2023 Woman of the Year by Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals.
Coolidge is also well known for playing Stifler’s sultry mom in “American Pie” and sage manicurist Paulette in “Legally Blonde.”
Coolidge’s other film credits include roles in “Best In Show,” “A Mighty Wind,” and “Shotgun Wedding.”
She has appeared in multiple other television shows including “Seinfeld,” “2 Broke Girls,” and “Nip/Tuck.”

Former Emmanuel College Admissions Director Sentenced In Sex Trafficking Case
Federal prosecutors said Henriques victimized numerous girls and young women online between the ages of 12 and 18. According to court records, Henriques met or spoke with at least eight admitted or prospective students before later contacting them using information obtained through the college’s admissions system.
The case centered on a 17-year-old prospective student whom Henriques met during a campus tour. Prosecutors said Henriques reviewed the student’s tour registration form, which included her date of birth, and learned she was still in high school. Within hours of the tour, Henriques began texting the student using the phone number she had provided on her admissions form.

Joyous occasion: Boston celebrates new beginnings, local pride
Half of the city turned out this weekend to celebrate what’s great about Boston — its people.
On sunny or snowy days, Bostonians will help you out. The Tartan Army from Scotland and Norwegian soccer fans witnessed that last week.
This time, the surprise was all local.
“I’m the luckiest guy in the world,” said George Regan, as he gazed at nearly 300 people who showed up for the christening of his son, George Kenneth Regan IV.
“Teach number four to be a really wonderful person and he’ll teach it to number five,” said former Gov. Charlie Baker, who said that’s the secret to life. Baker himself is the fourth Charlie, with a son the fifth. We all stand on those who came before us, the former governor added.
Work will come around soon enough, but Saturday was a celebration that started at St. Gregory Parish in Dorchester and finished with a reception at Davio’s in the Seaport.
Regan, founder and CEO of the Regan Communications Group, welcomed everyone alongside his wife, Elizabeth, and their new baby boy.
Former Mayor Ray Flynn said it best: Reagan has “stood up for people who needed you.”
There’s not enough ink in this paper to chronicle how connections keep Boston thriving. That’s the space where Regan’s PR firm operates. There are plenty of other similar agencies; it’s just that George Regan has been at the helm of his group since he left former Mayor Kevin White’s office.
Maybe that’s what makes dealing with him so rewarding. Kevin White loved Boston, and that rubbed off on everyone who worked for him.
Former police commissioners Bill Bratton and William “Willie” Gross both spoke as did UMass President Marty Meehan, Denella J. Clark, president and CEO of Boston Arts Academy Foundation, Steve DiFillippo, Davio’s owner, and more.
Former Herald editor Ken Chandler, newly reelected Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, and car magnate Herb Chambers were some of the notables in the crowd.
“Elizabeth and I are honored to welcome our miracle child into the faith alongside the remarkable circle of friends, mentors, and partners who have stood with us through every chapter,” said Regan, who was just recently sick.
But, like Boston, you can’t keep a good man down.
