ROBIN WILLIAMS’ SUICIDE: WHY HE DID IT IS SUDDENLY CRYSTAL CLEAR

Photo: Robin in “World’s Greatest Dad”

The missing piece to the Robin Williams puzzle has surfaced at last. His suicide inspired many discussions of why a person SO fortunate in SO many ways would entertain the notion of suicide. Depression can be treated. Substance abuse can be treated. And he had a loving family to support him throughout. But Parkinson’s Disease cannot be cured. And it can be more devastating than Alzheimer’s. Robin’s wife just mentioned the Parkinsons diagnosis today, and didn’t think it had any effect on Robin’s death. She was wrong. It’s an awful degenerative disease that destroys quality of life. Combine that diagnosis with Robin’s other problems and you’ve got the answer. So sad.

Fashion Robin Williams Thanks for the Memories

HERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT ROBIN WILLIAMS YOU MAY NOT KNOW

You’ve read a lot about the late, great Robin Williams today, but here’s something you probably never knew about him. He was a closet dandy. Robin was so funny and entertaining that observers seldom noticed what he was wearing. Few people realize that he loved extravagant designer fashion, often in black. He was well known at the most exclusive stores like Maxfield in LA, San Francisco, and New York. Robin was courageous – he delighted in wearing fashion forward styles like Commes Des Garcons that many men are afraid to touch. His personality was so BIG that it drew attention from his style – but he WAS an underrated fashion icon. (Click HERE to see what he wore to pick up his Oscar.)

Hygiene Robin Williams Sarah Michele Gellar Sweat

ROBIN WILLIAMS SWEATS LIKE A RACEHORSE

It’s no surprise that Sarah Michelle Gellar is said to be complaining about her costar Robin Williams on their new CBS series “The Crazy Ones.” Star magazine claims she cannot tolerate his personal hygiene – especially up close under hot lights. Fact is, Robin has always has a BIG problem with profuse sweating. Years ago he used to shop at a very expensive store in San Francisco. Before they would allow him to try on their designer clothes, the clerk would hand him a long sleeve t -shirt to put on first. After he finished shopping they would launder the shirt and have it ready for his next visit. That’s how they solved the sweat problem.

Obviously, Zelda Williams doesn’t hold it against her father Robin for giving her an unusual first name. She was named after Princess Zelda, a fictional character in the “Legend of Zelda” video game series that her dad was crazy about. We can see she has embraced her name because she’s wearing a t-shirt featuring the video game character! (Above, Zelda is holding hands with a mystery man in Hollywood.)

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda,19, is serious about acting and she’s already made a mark for herself in Hollywood by completing several films. She and Rumer Willis are probably auditioning for the same parts. Her latest is a horror movie “Don’t Look Up.” Too bad she’s already joined the crowd of smokers outside a Hollywood club.

Mystery Date Robin Williams

ROBIN WILLIAMS IS ENJOYING THE SINGLE LIFE

A friend of ours happened to be wandering around the pricey boutiques in Mill City in Marin County, and she ran into Robin Williams who appeared to be with a new girlfriend. Robin’s thirty-something companion was taller than him by a few inches and spoke French. The pair were friendly and obviously having fun shopping together – they made a point of visiting an expensive jewelry store.

Divorce Embarrassing! Robin Williams

ROBIN WILLIAMS IS SOAKING WET AND SOON TO BE SINGLE

Photo: Reuters
We weren’t all that surprised to hear that Robin Williams’ nineteen year marriage to Marsha Garces is over. The hyperactive comic may be a nice guy but he can’t be that easy to live with. He sweats profusely. With minimal exertion he can become completely drenched. Robin used to shop at a posh men’s designer clothing store in San Francisco. They didn’t want their garments ruined with sweat stains when he tried things on, so they had a special long sleeved t shirt they kept behind the counter just for him. He put it on before he tried anything on. After he left, they laundered the shirt so it would be ready for his next visit. Hopefully he has cooled down with age.
