With all the talk of his possible new project with Jerry Seinfeld, it's important not lose sight of Larry David's most defining characteristic: His ability to insult everyone he meets.

Here's the trailer for Larry David's upcoming HBO movie, Clear History. Basically, Larry David's character has a crazy frizzed-out hair-beard combo. He works for Jon Hamm who is sporting a suit, also so wild. Anyways, David's character quits because he thinks Hamm's character is dumb and then he loses out on millions and Hamm is rich and happy and married to Kate Hudson. After a decade of bitterness, David's character launches a madcap revenge plot.

Jeff Garlin was arrested and jailed overnight after he allegedly got in a fight over a parking space with another driver.

Harvard law professor and nebbishy Wikileaks attorney Alan Dershowitz is gunning for the Nobel Peace Prize this year. In an effort to really solve this whole pesky Israeli-Palestinian conflict thing, Dershowitz sent Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a copy of the "Palestinian Chicken" episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

If you didn't catch the finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm on Sunday night, then you missed what well might have been the best single performance of the season: That of Greg, the obviously gay 7-year-old son of a woman Larry David is dating. ("It's a sewing machine. It's a sewing machine! *SQUEEEEEEE!* IT'S A SEWING MACHINE!!!") It was easily the most inspired comedic display of budding queendom since The Onion's now-classic, How To Find A Masculine Halloween Costume For Your Effeminate Son.

Well not perfect in terms of quality, it hasn't even been made yet, but the set-up is pretty perfect for some moviegoers. Also today: a character actor will play another character, Larry David is bigger than ever, and some exciting potential Gossip Girl casting.

I'm thrilled that my favorite summer shows—like True Blood and Weeds—are finally coming back. But one thing is increasingly clear: There are a lot of desperate shows out there. And they're all resorting to the same tired tricks to try to make themselves fresh again.

This vintage clip of Larry David doing a stand up comedy bit on the old show Fridays has been kicking around for awhile, but when it came to my attention again today it just reminded me how bad he looked!

Today at Gawker.TV, Rob Lowe goes crazy on the cast of Parks and Recreation, Hoda Kotb's kinkajou-kiss, teasing Curb Your Enthusiasm's move to New York, HIMYM's funeral episode, and celebrity targets stand behind Ricky Gervais' Golden Globes set.

He's baaaaack! Larry David is godzilla in this promo for Curb's new season—taking place entirely in New York City. No official word on what date the show will return, but we hope it's sooner rather than later.

With its ratings in the toilet and prime time roster trashed by the failed Jay Leno experiment, the upcoming television season is make-or-break for NBC. Based on the trailers for the shows it has coming up, is there any hope?

Or he could be! In a movie. Also today: You Lauren Graham fans will have reason to celebrate, another British TV show gets dragged over to the States, a new food channel, and Curb Your Enthusiasm enthusiasm.

On December 29, 1947 Ted Danson was born. He brokethrough as playboy Sam Malone on Cheers, he went onto become the first man ever to admit to sleeping with Whoopi Goldberg, and is now the most sophisticated pothead on television.

Today at Gawker.TV, Paula Deen gets hit in the face, an angry girlfriend destroys an X-Box, Larry David is terrible at playing himself, iPhone pranks, and Dr. Oz searches for the most fat and lazy person in America.

Larry David created George Costanza as a reflection of himself. So exactly what happens when you get Larry David playing George Costanza playing Larry David?

Seinfeld was a revolutionary sitcom, so its reunion had to be equally brilliant. As witnessed on Curb Your Enthusiasm, the non-reunion reunion about the making of a reunion on a different show will make blood pour out of your ears.
