HBO announced they’ve has renewed Curb Your Enthusiasm for an 11th season. Announcing the news of the renewal, creator and star Larry David jokingly said, “believe me, I’m as upset about this as you are.” He added that “one day I can only hope that HBO will come to their senses and grant me the cancellation I so richly deserve.” HBO Programming executive vice president Amy Gravitt said that “this past season tapped into the zeitgeist in such an uncomfortably delightful way” “and that “Larry is already busy writing, and we can’t wait to see what he has in store.”

Curb Your Enthusiasm initially premiered in 2000 and aired a new season about every two years until taking an indefinite hiatus after Season 8 in 2011, returning for Season 9 in 2016.  

As of press time, a potential release date has not been set for the upcoming season, as it likely remains in limbo due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Jason Momoa will be the voice Frosty the Snowman, bringing him to life in an upcoming live-action remake as a new computer-generated version of Frosty.

David Berenbaum, who wrote the classic Christmas movie Elf, is penning the new Frosty script, with Jon Berg, Greg Silverman, Geoff Johns and Momoa as producers. Berg said in a statement, “From his role as a fearsome count in a land of ice and fire to the oceanic success we all had with Aquaman, it felt only right to realize Jason this time out of snow.” Silverman added, “we know Jason’s as a true human being filled with love, compassion and a deep connection to ohana – all of which is the living spirit of Xmas and Frosty.”

The classic character made his animated debut in the 1969, based on the 1950s Christmas song of the same name.

During an interview this week with Angela Yee, singer August Alsina addressed the rumors he once dated Jada Pinkett Smith and claimed Will Smith gave him permission to have a sexual relationship with his wife. But according to Jada’s reps, Alsina’s story is “absolutely not true.”

Alsina told Yee with 100 percent conviction an open and honest conversation took place between the blockbuster movie star and him. “I love those people literally like my family,” Alsina said. “I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership that they’ve spoken on several times and it not involving romanticism. He gave me his blessing and I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life.  And I truly am really, really deeply loved and have a ton of love for her. I devoted myself to it. I gave my full self to it – so much so to the point that I can die right now and be OK with knowing that I truly gave myself to somebody.”

Alsina sang about a love affair with an actress on the song “Nunya” in 2019. The single art featured a text from a woman named Koren, which is Pinkett Smith’s middle name, but he denied the song was about her.

The Smiths have not publicly addressed the allegations.

Netflix is set to produce a six-episode series on Colin Kaepernick called ‘Colin in Black & White.’ Kaepernick will narrate the scripted limited drama, which comes from director Ava DuVernay. Colin in Black & White is DuVernay’s latest project with Netflix following her acclaimed limited series, ‘When They See Us.’ 

Netflix says Kaepernick’s series will focus on his adolescent years while growing up with a white adopted family. It will also portray his high school life and events that led him to advocate for social justice. An actor will play a younger version of the now 32-year-old Kaepernick. 

Kaepernick has remained unsigned in the NFL since 2017, soon after he began kneeling during the National Anthem.
