Comedian/actress Wanda Sykes appeared at a gay rally in Las Vegas yesterday to speak out on the Prop 8 vote banning same-sex marriages. In her speech, Wanda Sykes came out publicly as a lesbian, saying, in part, “I’m proud to be gay.” Check out the video clip above.

Wanda Sykes told the crowd at the Las Vegas Rally:

“You know, I don’t really talk about my sexual orientation. I didn’t feel like I had to. I was just living my life, not necessarily in the closet, but I was living my life.

Everybody that knows me personally they know I’m gay. But that’s the way people should be able to live their lives.

Now, I gotta get in their face. I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be a black woman, and I’m proud to be gay.”

Curb Your Enthusiasm Will Return for Seventh Season

Wendy — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:22:57 +0000

Good news for Curb Your Enthusiasm fans – Larry David will bring the HBO series back for a seventh season! The bad news? We’ll have to wait until early 2009 to see it.

The last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm ended in November 2007.

Is Jerry Seinfeld Returning to NBC?

Wendy — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:17:18 +0000

PageSix.com is reporting a Jerry Seinfeld comeback at NBC!

According to their sources, PageSix says the show is being pitched to NBC “just like Curb Your Enthusiasm, but with Jerry, instead of Larry.”

Hmmm. Kinda sounds like it’s been done before, but I’m sure plenty of viewers would give anything Seinfeld does a look.

UPDATE: Hmmm. Looks like there’s no truth to the Seinfeld/NBC partnership. NBC spokeswoman Elizabeth Clark Zoia commented, “There’s nothing to it. We appreciate the enthusiasm, however.”

Larry David Cast in Upcoming Woody Allen Film?

Wendy — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 21:06:39 +0000

Wow, I had to do a double-take when I read that “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star (and “Seinfeld” creator) Larry David has been cast in Woody Allen’s upcoming (and untitled) film. While plot details are unknown, Evan Rachel Wood will co-star and shooting will begin in New York City in the spring.

The latest Woody Allen film buzz is “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” however, which he shot in Spain — it’s getting a lot of attention because of a steamy lesbian kissing scene between Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz.

A New York Post source is quoted as saying, “It is also extremely erotic. People will be blown away and even shocked. Penelope and Scarlett go at it in a red-tinted photography dark room, and it will leave the audience gasping.”

I’m already gasping just thinking about it. And almost as shocked that Larry David will appear in a Woody Allen movie.

Martha Stewart Wants to Date Larry David

Wendy — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:13:30 +0000

How about this for a new couple? Martha Stewart wants to date “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star/creator Larry David, who recently joined the ranks of eligible bachelors. Martha Stewart dropped hints about her interest in Larry David during a recent interview with “Curb Your Enthusiasm” co-star Susie Essman.

During the interview, Martha said she liked David “a lot” and that “He could be a funny boyfriend… (You should) invite me as a house guest or something.”

In response to Susie Essman’s explanation that Larry David is newly single, Martha Stewart explained, “I know, that’s why I’m interested… that’s why I keep mentioning him.”
