Did Al Gore Have a Two-Year Affair With Larry David’s Ex-Wife?

Say whaaaaaaaat? According to new reports, a third person contributed to the dissolution of Al and Tipper Gore’s marriage…and that person is Larry David’s ex-wife. Laurie David divorced the Curb Your Enthusiasm creator in 2007 amid rumors that she was stepping out with the caretaker of their Martha’s Vineyard summer home, but now she’s been linked to Gore in a way that goes beyond co-producing his Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth .

EXCLUSIVE: Nicolas Winding Refn Explains His Wonder Woman Movie

Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn created something of a fanboy stir last month when he dropped hints about wanting to adapt Wonder Woman for the screen. Some thought Refn was joking; after all, his best known films ( The Pusher Trilogy , Bronson ) are foreign-made indies rendered with unflinching brutality and pitch-black humor. But Refn — one of the more thoughtful, articulate, visionary and prolific filmmakers working today at any level, like Werner Herzog with a bludgeon — wasn’t kidding at all. Hell, if Sam Raimi can do it, why can’t he?

Gary Coleman Game Changer

Details surrounding the death of Gary Coleman are about to get even murkier thanks to newly surfaced legal documents in which the Diff’rent Strokes actor specified that he did not want to be pulled off life support — a direct contradiction of what happened on May 28, when the actor’s ex-wife Shannon Price instructed doctors to pull the plug on the comatose Coleman. Since then, Price has been accused of charging $50,000 for an interview and shopping photos of the actor shortly after he passed away. [ TMZ ]

So Just Who is This Zach Anner and What was He Doing with Dennis Quaid, Bill Clinton and the KKK?

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Zach Anner. A self-described “wheelchair-bound lady magnet” from Austin, Zach is currently being championed as Oprah Winfrey’s successor after accumulating over 2.5 million votes in “Oprah’s Search For the Next TV Star,” a competition where users can upload their own reality show pitches and let internet users determine which is the best.

Damon Lindelof Writes the Sequel to Armageddon You’ll Wish Was Real

Radio silence be damned ! While his fellow co-executive producer Carlton Cuse travels around Europe like some post-college English major, Damon Lindelof has put pen to paper — or fingers to keyboard — on what could be the greatest piece of writing he’s ever done. And yes, I am including Crossing Jordan in that statement. The Lost showrunner took time out from his busy schedule of tweaking the Star Trek 2 screenplay — I’m assuming — to offer up advice on how to stop the disastrous BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Because, if it’s good enough for Kevin Costner and James Cameron, it’s good enough for Damon. What does he have in mind? Well, it all starts with Billy Bob Thornton.

First Listen: ‘Bred and Buttered’ by John Hawkes, from Winter’s Bone

“I’m the kind of songwriter who isn’t good on spec,” confesses John Hawkes. “Sometimes I can sit down and a song will kind of happen, but more likely, an idea will follow me around for months and shove me into a corner until there’s no more choice and it just comes out.” So how did the actor end up on the soundtrack to Winter’s Bone , the just-released indie where Hawkes stars opposite Jennifer Lawrence?

Is This Woman the Next Great Reality TV Villain?

It’s a little too soon to tell who’s got the serious leverage in the new season of Next Food Network Star , but the only reason I’m watching it at all is because of one woman: Dzintra Dzenis, an Austin chef who I think has the potential to be among the most deplorable — and successful — reality-show contestants in recent memory. Good luck, Dzintra!
