Robin Williams may be going through a tough time - but at least he has a slew of famous friends to lean on for support.
Williams’s wife of 19 years, Marsha Garces Williams, filed for divorce last week, citing irreconcilable differences.
Since the split, the comedian’s License to Wed costar John Krasinski said they’ve talked “a bunch of times.”
“He’s been so supportive of me since the movie and still keeps in touch,” the Office star told PEOPLE Monday night at the L.A. premiere of his new film, Leatherheads. “That just shows you what a classy guy he is, to keep tabs on people that he cares about.”
So does Williams still have his signature sense of humor during these difficult times? “Absolutely!” said Krasinski. “Absolutely - if not better.” -Scott Huver
John Krasinski doesn’t need a woman who’s well versed in the latest fashions. In fact, he says, a girl in a cardigan would do just fine.
Asked by August’s Glamour whether he’d be amenable to dating “a normal girl” like Pam, his Office crush, Krasinski, 27, replies: “Yes, please! It’s not about celebrity or not. It’s all about, do you have that ‘girl in a cardigan’ in you. You gotta have that.”
A woman with a relaxed sense of style would be a good match for the 27-year-old Newton, Mass., native, who told PEOPLE in 2005 that he doesn’t worry much about his own wardrobe: “My main focus is to always try to be myself first, and then, hey, if I wear a cool jacket, that’s a bonus.”
The License to Wed star, one of PEOPLE’s Sexiest Men Alive, also tells Glamour that he doesn’t feel too much pressure to act like his charmingly wry Office character, Jim - mostly because, well, it sort of comes naturally.
“I would say I have a mellow way about me and a spontaneity that is similar to Jim’s,” he says.
Krasinski, who has dated his Office costar Rashida Jones, is currently working on his feature film writing and directing debut, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. He also appears in George Clooney’s upcoming football film Leatherheads, due out in December.
Sunday’s 58th annual Emmy Awards ceremony was a big night for first-time winners. After three nominations, Mariska Hargitay finally won her first Emmy, as leading actress in the dramatic series Law %26 Order: Special Victims Unit.
“When I named my son August, I had no idea that the month would end like this!” said the thrilled Hargitay - who, with husband Peter Hermann, welcomed their first child on June 28.
Kiefer Sutherland won his first-ever Emmy - after nine nominations - for best actor in the drama 24. Clutching his statuette, Sutherland said the win meant he’d be having dinner with his father, actor Donald Sutherland, who was also in the Shrine Auditorium.
He called his six years on 24 - which also was named best dramatic series - “nothing short of exceptional.”
The New Adventures of Old Christine star Julia Louis-Dreyfus took her second Emmy, this time for leading actress in a comedy series. Her first was for her supporting role as Elaine on Seinfeld.
As the first costar from that seminal sitcom to escape the “Seinfeld curse” and have a success with another show, Louis-Dreyfus said, “I’m not somebody who really believes in curses.” Then, holding up her Emmy, she said, “But curse this, baby!”
The Office, starring Steve Carell and based on a British sitcom created by Ricky Gervais, was named best comedy series.
Earlier, the Emmys took a trip down memory lane when Joan Collins, Heather Locklear and 7th Heaven leading man Stephen Collins kicked off a tribute to prolific producer Aaron Spelling, who died in June.
Melrose Place star Locklear said that the “warm, generous and loving” Spelling referred to her as his “lucky penny.” Dynasty diva Collins recalled meeting him when he was a struggling actor who was confident he would one day become a successful producer.
Spelling’s Charlie’s Angels - Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith - all teared up while remembering their starmaker, as his widow, Candy Spelling, wiped away her tears while sitting in the audience next to her son, Randy Spelling.
Daughter Tori Spelling was seated separately with husband Dean McDermott.
When the awards resumed, The Amazing Race continued its amazing run as best reality show, winning its fourth Emmy and beating such strong contenders as American Idol and Survivor.
HBO’s The Girl in the Café, a romantic character drama set against the G8 conference, was named best TV movie. Kelly Macdonald was named best supporting actress for her performance and Richard Curtis was cited for his direction. HBO’s Elizabeth I was named best miniseries - and its leading lady, Helen Mirren, best actress in a miniseries.

Leonardo DiCaprio could be a double winner at this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards: His peers have nominated him as best leading actor in Blood Diamond and best supporting actor for The Departed, it was announced Thursday.
In contrast, he’ll compete against himself at the Golden Globes, where he’s nominated as a leading actor in both movies.
Also up for leading actor in a movie: Ryan Gosling (for Half Nelson), Peter O’Toole (Venus), Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness) and Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland).
Leading actress nominees are Penelope Cruz (Volver), Judi Dench (Notes on a Scandal), Helen Mirren (The Queen), Meryl Streep (The Devil Wears Prada) and Kate Winslet (Little Children).
Since the SAG Awards were launched in 1994, they’ve established a strong track record as an Oscar predictor. In the past years, SAG accurately called eight lead actor Academy Award winners, nine lead actress winners and half the supporting actor and actress races, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Up for outstanding movie ensemble are the casts of Babel, Bobby, The Departed, Dreamgirls and Little Miss Sunshine.
For television, best drama ensemble nominees are 24, Boston Legal, Deadwood, Grey’s Anatomy and The Sopranos. Best comedy ensemble nods went to Desperate Housewives, Entourage, The Office, Ugly Betty and Weeds.
Sandra Oh, who stars on Grey’s Anatomy, tells PEOPLE she’s thrilled with the show’s nomination. “I don’t want to put a bias on it, but I think the ensemble awards are kind of the best,” she said Thursday. “To get a great ensemble together, that works well together is really, really hard.”
The SAGs will air live on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 28, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. PEOPLE and the Entertainment Foundation will sponsor the official SAG Awards Gala after the show.
