CELEBRITIES WHO TIED THE KNOT IN 2017

Pippa Middleton and James Matthews may have had the most high profile wedding of the year in May, but they were far from alone in choosing 2017 as the right time to tie the knot.

The year began romantically for director Sam Mendes, who married musician and producer Alison Balsom in January. A second marriage for Mendes, it came just over six years from his divorce from Kate Winslet.

Among other celebrities getting hitched was Tyrese Gibson. Also marrying for the second time, he exchanged vows on Valentine's Day 2017, keeping his wife's identity under wraps when he made the annoucement on social media.

Spring brought more confetti, as Amanda Seyfried married fellow actor Thomas Sadoski. Sadoski delivered the news on air to "Late Late Show" host James Corden in March, flashing a wedding ring and telling him the pair had eloped. The couple had their first child the same month.

Other May weddings included for "Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons and his longterm partner Todd Spiewak, and also model Miranda Kerr and Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel.

Summer brought nuptials for Jessica Chastain and Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, who married in June; "Fantastic Four" co-stars Kate Mara and Jamie Bell who wed in July; plus Stevie Wonder and Tomeeka Robyn, who have two children together. They also married in July.

As the weather cooled, passions did not - September saw marriages for Idina Menzel and her one time "Rent" co-star Aaron Lohr, as well as Julia Stiles and Preston Cook.

In October, celebrity couple Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander exchanged rings in Spain. Actors Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet and "This is Us" star Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause also made their vows that month.

As 2017 drew to a close, celebrities beginning married life together included tennis star Serena Williams and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, as well as actress Kate Upton and Detroit Tigers player Justin Verlander. Both couples had November weddings.

FEELING ARETHA'S SPIRIT, JENNIFER HUDSON HONORS ARETHA FRANKLIN AT PULITZERS; EMBRACES PARKLAND STUDENTS

With bad weather in Chicago on Monday and her flight canceled, Jennifer Hudson fretted at the thought of missing her performance at Tuesday's (28 MAY 2019) Pulitzer Prize awards ceremony to pay tribute to honoree Aretha Franklin.

But then Hudson said she felt the spirit of the Queen of Soul — who refused to fly but traveled by tour bus to concerts and events — and drove nearly 13 hours to New York to make the luncheon.

"I looked up and I thought, 'You know what, it's like Aretha's spirit is in me. She didn't believe in flying, she would drive,'" Hudson said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I got here in time, five minutes early to sing, because I wasn't going to miss it. Honey I said, 'If I got to walk, if I got to crawl, I'm going to get there.' And here I am — so it's in my heart."

Hudson embodied Franklin's spirit and vocal prowess as she brought the ceremony to church with a rousing, fiery performance of "Amazing Grace," bringing the audience of journalists to their feet.

"She's always with me, I feel," Hudson said of Franklin. "I always keep her in my mind and in my heart, and try to lead in a way that I know that she would want me to."

Franklin, who died last August at 76, was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize Special Citation honor Tuesday, becoming the first individual woman to earn a special citation prize since the honor was first awarded in 1930. The Pulitzer board said the award was given to Franklin for "her indelible contribution to American music and culture for more than five decades."

Collaborator and close friend Clive Davis and longtime publicist Gwendolyn Quinn accepted the honor on behalf of Franklin's family.

South Florida's Sun-Sentinel won the prize in public service for its coverage of last year's mass shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 students and staff were killed. Pulitzer Prizes were also awarded to the staff of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for breaking news reporting, the Los Angeles Times for investigative reporting, while Reuters and The Associated Press were both honored for international reporting.

Dana Canedy, administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes, said her favorite submission was from the student journalists from the Parkland school for their own coverage of the tragic shooting and powerful obituaries of those who died.

Hudson posed for photos with the students at the luncheon held at Columbia University, which also featured performances by Damien Sneed and Brandie Inez Sutton.

She also spoke to the students backstage about the effects of gun violence. One of the students told singer that experiencing a mass shooting is a club no one wanted to be a part of.

"Exactly. And you have no choice," said Hudson, whose mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were shot to death in 2008. "No one knows when it's gonna happen or who it's gonna happen to and you never know how life changing it is until it happens, but the only way we can ever make a difference is for those who have not experienced it, to look from the perspective of those who have. And that's when the change will happen, you know?"

Hudson, an Oscar and Grammy winner, will play Franklin in an upcoming biopic. She said she always felt connected to Franklin.

"Even when I auditioned for 'American Idol,' I sang 'Share Your Love with Me' by Aretha Franklin. ...I'm like, 'Wow! It's like her presence was always there,'" Hudson said. "Even when I did 'Dream Girls,' they were like, 'What's going to be the next big role that you would play, or that you feel could measure up to this?' Fifteen years later, it has manifested."

"(Aretha) called me when I was on Broadway and she was like, 'And I've made my decision, and it is you.' I was like, 'Yes ma'am, I'm ready. I will give it every bit of my all,'" Hudson continued. "That's why I had to get on that road trip last night to get here, because if I said I'm in, I'm in."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Jennifer Hudson, Recording Artist - on relating to the Parkland students:

"I think it creates like a unique connection because there's only so many of us that have had that experience. And those who have not had that experience can never understand. So, you have others that understand and that have been through the same thing and sometimes you find comfort in that, you know what I mean? But, each and every time, for me, when I see it happen you kind of relive it over and over again, you know what I mean? Which is unfortunate but it's unfortunately a part of it so I completely connect and understand and I hate to see it happening in the schools and just in the world period. It's unfortunate."

UPSOUND with student: "It's a club you never want to be a part of."

Jennifer Hudson: "Exactly. And you have no choice, like, no one knows when it's gonna happen or who it's gonna happen to and you never know how life changing it is until it happens, but the only way we can ever make a difference is for those who have not experienced it, to look from the perspective of those who have. And that's when the change will happen, you know? But, unfortunately a lot of the time it's after the fact that people react."

"If anything I hope that our staff, despite great tragedy, we can be an example to other young people that no matter what has happened to you, you can always overcome that and Jennifer Hudson coming is another phenomenal honor and just seeing her was surreal."

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Jennifer Hudson, Recording Artist:

"Well, the weather got really bad in Chicago and we had a tornado warning. I said, 'Honey, I've got to get to New York for this performance and if I say I'm gonna do something, I am gonna do it. I made a serious promise to Ms. Franklin and I am committed so I was like, 'I guess we gonna be drivin'.' And then I looked up and I thought, 'You know what? It's like Aretha's spirt because she didn't believe in flying. She would drive.' And I said, 'Look at me. I'm driving and taking a road trip to New York.' But I got here in time, five minutes early to sing this song because I wasn't gonna miss it. Honey, I said, 'If I got to walk, if I got to crawl, I'm gonna get there.' And here I am."

"Even when I auditioned for 'American Idol,' that's what I sang. 'Share Your Love with Me' by Aretha Franklin. When we did the 'American Idol' tour I did 'Since You've Been Gone' on tour and then so many other songs afterwards and I'm like, wow. It's like like her presence was always there, you know? And I used to always love singing her songs and I still do to this day."

19.  SOUNDBITE (English) Jennifer Hudson, Recording Artist: -

"And even when I did 'Dreamgirls' it was like, 'What's gonna be the next big role that you would ever play or that you could feel would measure up to this?' and I'm like, 'to play Aretha Franklin.' That was 15 years ago. Now, 15 years later, it's manifested and to know she said, 'I pick you.' I remember she called me when I was on Broadway and she was like, 'And I've made my decision, (laughs) and it is you.' And I'm like, 'Yes, ma'am, I'm ready. I will give it every bit of my all. That's why I had to get on that road trip last night to get here because if I say it I mean it, again, it's all from the heart."
