1. Kesha describes Jerry Seinfeld hug rejection as 'saddest moment' of her life

No hug for you! Kesha revealed on "The Best Show with Tom Scharpling" that the most depressing moment of her life was when Jerry Seinfeld refused to hug her in 2017. A clip went viral at the time showing the singer walking up to Seinfeld and asking to hug him, to which he brutally told her, "No thanks!" Seinfeld then clarified he had no clue who she was. Years later, Kesha told the "really sad" story behind this, recalling the incident happened at a charity event in the middle of her tour, so she was "exhausted." But as a fan of "Seinfeld," she was thrilled to hear the comedian would be there. "I got really excited because he brings me peace and love and all things good in the universe, and then he didn't hug me in front of cameras," she said, adding that this was the "saddest moment of my life." Sounds like a pretty good life!
