Mike Myers: I 'Cried Like a Baby' Performing for Sick Children
Originally posted 10/28/2008 11:10AM
Mike Myers usually makes people laugh until they cry, but the comedian told PEOPLE a recent hospital performance for sick kids left him teary-eyed.
Last Thursday, the Austin Powers actor visited Rusk Institute in The Bronx with Only Make Believe, a theater charity group that puts on plays for young children in hospitals and care facilities.
"I watched kids of differing physical abilities and different backgrounds from around the world lose themselves in imagination and make believe. And I was moved to tears," says Myers. "All I can tell you is that I cried like a baby. I couldn't stop crying."

Mike Myers and Dana Carvey's Excellent Wayne's World Reunion
Originally posted 06/02/2008 08:40AM
It was "party on" again for Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar as Saturday Night Live alums Mike Myers and Dana Carvey reunited to don the mullets of their beloved Wayne's World alter egos at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday.
"It was like I hadn't seen Dana in like ten minutes," Myers told PEOPLE. The comedian, who hosted MTV's edgy, annual celebration of popular film, last worked with Carvey in 1994 and hadn't teamed up in character with him since their 1993 sequel film Wayne's World 2, but the duo delighted the crowd with their hilarious return as the snarky local access cable TV hosts who broadcast from Wayne's basement in Aurora, Illinois.

The stars were out in full force for MTV's movie awards – and they made sure to get in plugs for their upcoming projects.
With the golden carpet rolled out, Paris Hilton and Benji Madden came hand-in-hand, talking fashion and her show about a quest for a BFF. Audrina Patridge debuted new bangs and talked about wrapping Blue Crush 2. And while Sarah Jessica Parker talked about the record-breaking weekend opening of her new movie Sex and the City, Brendan Fraser hijacked the microphone to plug The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Mike Myers has consulted his inner awards show guru and found peace.
"I have learned to have way more fun doing these shows," says Myers, who'll once again host the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night. "And I'm already excited. I think the last time ... it was nerve-racking. Now I know exactly what it is, and it's just fun."
This year, Myers will be sharing the stage with presenters including Lindsay Lohan, Katharine McPhee and Anne Hathaway and Zac Efron, and performers like the Pussycat Dolls and Coldplay.
