John Nash, the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician whose life inspired the acclaimed 2001 film A Beautiful Mind, was killed in a car accident in New Jersey on Saturday. He was 86 years old. Nash’s wife, Alicia, was also killed in the crash. Police say the couple was riding in a taxi without seatbelts and were thrown from the vehicle when it struck a guardrail. Nash was best known for his work with game theory and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1994. The Ron Howard-directed biopic about Nash’s life depicted not only his mathematical brilliance, but also his lifelong struggle with schizophrenia. A Beautiful Mind went on to win four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Moments ago, Russell Crowe, who portrayed Nash in the film, tweeted, “Stunned…my heart goes out to John & Alicia & family. Beautiful minds, beautiful hearts.” In their later years, the Nashes devoted themselves to working with mental health advocacy groups. Jennifer Connelly won an Oscar for her her portrayal of Alicia Nash in the movie that made the couple household names outside of the mathematics community.

Bill Rancic thinks everyone has to calm the eff down. In a manner of speaking, that is. Rancic appeared on The Today Show this morning and stood staunchly up for Giuliana Rancic, who got into boiling hot water a couple months ago after making a joke about Zenday’s outfit at the Academy Awards. Bill Rancic Stands up for Giuliana Rancic Rancic criticized the young star’s look at the event by saying it appeared as if the 18-year old “smells like patchouli oil… or maybe weed.” The backlash came quickly and strongly against Giuliana, who apologized on multiple occasions for what many deemed to be a racist remark. Bill Rancic, however, doesn’t think his wife owes anyone any kind of mea culpa. “Her intent was to make a hippie joke,” he said today. “We knew that she didn’t do anything wrong.” In Giuliana’s defense, he’s most likely right. Moreover, Giuliana said it on E!’s Fashion Police, which is a program that encourages panelists to say mean things about celebrities. Bill said during Monday’s interview that had Joan Rivers still been hosting/alive, the reaction would have been different. “If Joan was around, God, she never would have allowed that to happen,” he said, adding that the criticism was a challenge for the couple to take. “It was hard, because as a husband we are the defender, we want to protect our family, and I just kind of had to be muzzled…I wanted to get out there, and I wanted to defend my wife.” It’s hard to blame the guy for doing so, wouldn’t you say? The future of Fashion Police is in doubt, meanwhile, but Rancic says she’ll remain a part of it . View Slideshow: 2015 Oscars Fashion: Who Looked Best?
