Lori Loughlin Jokes About College Admissions on ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’

In the episode, actress lies about her golf scores to get into a country club. Sound familiar? Five years after the infamous college admissions scandal, Lori Loughlin can look back and laugh. The actress joined Curb Your Enthusiasm and Larry David to parody her controversy of paying a fixer to get her daughters into USC. In the episode, Larry David gets Loughlin’s character a membership into a country club as she cheats at golf, lies to get handicap privileges, and flirts with a guy for good

Richard Lewis Was the Bleeding Heart of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’

Richard Lewis‘ career has, in some ways, always been defined by his proximity to darkness. As a stand-up comedian, he laid bare his personal struggles with drug addiction and alcoholism, pacing across the stage in his trademark all-black uniform, wringing his hands while he recounted how deeply he hated himself. (The title of his 1985 standup special? “I’m In Pain.”) And on Curb Your Enthusiasm, in which he played himself in perhaps his best known role, his health struggles became fodder for the show, with a 2005 kidney…

Comics Writer Ed Brubaker Talks Crime, Drugs, Maps, and Growing Up

Twenty-three years after he first teamed up with artist Sean Phillips (on an out-of-continuity Batman noir story called Gotham Noir), the comic writer has been around the block more than few times.Dave Bautista Opens Up About His Relationship With Denis VilleneuveHe found breakout success with his six-year stint writing (and briefly killing) Marvel’s Captain America; co-authored the critically beloved cop drama-by-way-of-DC-Comics series Gotham Central; achieved…

Are We Really Doing the Bitcoin Hype Cycle Again?

It’s safe to say crypto is experiencing renewed interest since the crash of 2022. Bitcoin just hit its highest price since 2021, the SEC’s approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs has investors very excited, and the market cap for all crypto just breached $2 trillion. But everyone who’s ready to FOMO their way into crypto should ask themselves: Should we really be doing this again?He Tossed His Bitcoin, Now He Wants It BackThe last time the crypto market was this hot was late 2021, and things were looking very rosy in the world of…

Wil Wheaton Slams Larry David for Elmo Attack, Reveals He Was Abused – The Hollywood Reporter

Wil Wheaton has unloaded on Larry David for the Curb Your Enthusiasm star’s on-air Elmo attack. The Star Trek: The Next Generation actor posted an intense 900-word essay on Facebook about the viral stunt, where David throttled the ever-cheerful and child-like Sesame Street icon live on NBC’s Today during a segment on mental health, and then told viewers “somebody had to do it.” David was prodded into apologizing for the incident, but he did so seemingly reluctantly and with a smile. Wheaton had…

How ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Star J.B. Smoove Changed Larry David’s Life

Until you rewatch the early seasons, it’s easy to forget that Leon Black wasn’t always part of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David‘s permanent houseguest, played to delirious perfection by comedian J.B. Smoove, feels like a supporting player the show couldn’t exist without, yet he joined the cast in Season Six, crashing the David home along with relatives displaced by a hurricane in New Orleans (even though he already lived in L.A.). Smoove didn’t know back then that after the rest of his fictional family packed up…

Larry David Wants to Fight Elmo Again

It was the live TV attack that shocked the world. Furry red monster Elmo was making an appearance on the Today Show on Thursday, speaking about the importance of mental health, when all of a sudden, Larry David launched toward the muppet and attacked him, grabbing his face and throwing a punch at the Sesame Street legend. “Somebody had to do it!” David said with a giggle. David later returned for a different Today segment and apologized to Elmo, who quickly accepted the sentiment. But looks like it was not…

‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Final Season Is a Very Mixed Bag

It’s a running gag in the 12th season of Curb Your Enthusiasm that people keep mentioning that Larry David didn’t work on the last two seasons of Seinfeld, but then returned for the finale. Every time, Larry greets the observation with stony silence, because he knows the audience hated that finale, and assumes he is being given another thinly-veiled complaint about it. David already gave himself a mulligan on that back in 2009, when Curb Season Seven revolved around the fictionalized Larry producing a Seinfeld…

Dua Lipa on Therapy, Barbie, New Album, Being Single

One way to win Dua Lipa‘s heart? Be down to split a tray of oysters with her. “Hell yeah! My kind of girl,” she exclaimed as we dug into the popular L.A. restaurant Gjelina’s lengthy menu in search of plates to share for lunch. “We should definitely get some oysters.” Like the order we put in that day, Lipa was generous with juicy album and life details as well as a number of personal recommendations during our chats for her February cover story. From more info on her hotly-anticipated third album to both old and…
