This might be the funniest dinner table ever — Jerry Seinfeld breaking Italian bread with some insanely successful actors, writers, producers and an entertainment mogul thrown in for good measure.
Jerry’s on vacay in Italy — like everyone else, it seems — and he was dining at Andrea Pansa in Amalfi this week. NBD, just chatting it up with comedy legends Larry David and Judd Apatow … along with billionaire David Geffen.
That alone would be pretty, prettyyy impressive — but after some banter, the guys were joined by fellow comedian Amy Schumer, and Judd’s wife, actress Leslie Mann!!!
Jerry seemed to be holding court at the table, and even snapped a pic with a young fan who was, understandably, grinning from ear to ear.
Jerry and his wife Jessica, who was also there, have been enjoying their European vacay — last month they were spotted soaking up the sun on a yacht in the south of France.
Quite the impressive lineup for that meal, though. Sorta like the last supper of comedy … with a better outcome!
Here’s a first look at the live action adaptation of the most popular manga in history, written by Eiichiro Oda. ONE PIECE sets sail on August 31st only on Netflix.

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to holding babies of her own over the years, and that’s apparently what she’ll do in the upcoming season of “American Horror Story.”
The show sent out a teaser video Thursday from the highly-anticipated project — showing Emma Roberts, Cara Delevingne and Kim K all in character.
Each actress carries a similar vibe, glasses with snow white hair … but Kim’s character is also seen holding a newborn in an eerie video sequence.
There’s not a whole lot known about the show, but we did see Kim carrying what appeared to be a script into a meeting back in May.
This season is reportedly based on a book called “Delicate Condition” — a short story about an expecting mother who believes there’s evil trying to take over her pregnancy.
In addition, ugly truths flared at Margarita night, and the ladies fought like we had never seen them before.
Family dynamics are complicated, and Ronnie was caught in the middle between his wife and his estranged sister.
Kathy has been rude since Sweet Magnolias Season 3 began, though part of me wonders what started this cold war.
Did Kathy start this war with Dana Sue and Ronnie only because Ms. Frances helped fund Sullivans and left it to Dana Sue?
Getting along with the in-laws can be difficult, especially if the sibling felt like you stole their place.
Don’t you dare drag my real sisters into your mess.
Dana Sue
Kathy thought that Dana Sue stole Ronnie and turned the entire town against her.
She only embarrassed herself by hurling insults at half the town. That was a tricky spot for Ronnie, but his heart belonged to Dana Sue and Annie, and he’s still trying to prove to her that he’s reformed.
Being your own person and not getting lost in the relationship is often challenging.
All the guys have worked on this since they partnered with feisty women.
We have to know who we are apart from them to bring something to the relationship.
Ronnie
Both Cal and Ryan were struggling to find new jobs. Baseball was all Cal identified with, and Ryan had been traveling for months, so now he needed to find something that excited him like law excited Helen.
Ryan was prepared to give everything up for Helen, but he wanted to discuss ground rules. That made Helen panic since it might actually be real.
Even though Annie is technically dating Jackson, Ty was the one who was continually there on her 16th birthday. The two of them are slowly returning to being in each other’s orbits again.
Jackson wouldn’t even attend her birthday party for fear of disobeying his mother. Annie was slowly beginning to realize these quirks. However, Ty wrote and sang a funny and endearing song about what he liked about her.
Music is something Ty always shared with Annie, and it was adorable. Even though Ty liked Annie, he still drove her to see Jackson after her party.
Those chaperoned dates were over, though. Unlike Kyle, Ty feared Mary Vaughn and had difficulty covering for the lovebirds. The lies will come out soon, and then there will be hell to pay.
As mentioned, I think Sweet Magnolias Season 3 has too many unnecessary characters.
I would have liked to see more of Mary Vaughn and her backstory instead of so many scenes with Noreen and the babies.
Allison Gabriel hoped they would have explored the reasons for Mary Vaughn’s rivalry with the Magnolias and delved deeper into her family drama. They whisked the Lewises away without explaining why.
Many fans were hoping Nellie and Kyle would get a second chance, but instead, it looks like he has a secret admirer. Moving to Castlewood hurts Nellie and Jackson more than it affects her rivals or the community of Serenity.
What made this fight even more devastating was only hours before, the ladies were toasting their friendship and considering beginning a new business venture.
Creating a foundation to assist people seems like something the Magnolias would do.
Dana Sue: As long as you two are a part of it. Maddie: Happily. Helen: Indeed.
Dana Sue has always been passionate about feeding the community, and Helen enjoys helping the community. Hopefully, we’ll get to see the foundation get used before the end of the season.
These women are the epitome of Serenity, so it was no surprise that Annie craved a friendship like theirs.
Almost everyone had some decent points in this fight, and these accusations ran deep. This isn’t the type of disagreement that blows over in a day or two.
Things were said that the women couldn’t take back. The thing about sisters is they don’t hold back with tough love, and the Magnolias are practically sisters.
Maddie wanted to share all the lessons she had learned now that she and Cal were happier, but this wasn’t the appropriate time.
Sometimes, when you love someone, it’s difficult to watch them make a mistake, and that’s how Maddie and Dana Sue felt watching Helen with Ryan.
What was ironic was that earlier in the evening, Helen defended her friends to Ryan when he felt like every action was under a microscope.
Living in a small town, everyone is up in your business, and it’s worse when your two best friends know everything about you.
While Helen claimed she waited forever for this second chance with Ryan, it also seemed like she wanted to prove they could be happy to the world.
Helen couldn’t bear to be wrong this time. She does love Ryan, and she’d given up too much, so instead,d she lashed out at the people she loved and trusted most.
“On This Foundation” ended unexpectedly. The Magnolias have never fought like that. They should have been toasting their new venture, not questioning Helen’s every move.
Which Magnolia did you agree with? Was Maddie too outspoken, or does Helen have the right to date whomever she pleases?
What is Kathy’s next move against Dana Sue? Do you have any compassion for her as Ryan did?

Some of Britain’s top stars including Brian Cox, Imelda Staunton and Simon Pegg are taking to the streets of London this afternoon in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA cause.
Succession star Cox is due to address the Equity-led rally alongside Catastrophe‘s Rob Delaney and BAFTA-winner Rakie Ayola.
Other high-profile stars in attendance include Harry Potter star Stauton, Mission Impossible’s Pegg, Naomie Harris (No Time to Die) and Downton Abbey actors Jim Carter and Penelope Wilton. More are expected as the afternoon rolls on.
Rallies are taking place in both London’s Leicester Square and Manchester’s Media City – where the BBC and ITV house their northern HQs – and were organized by UK actors union Equity to show support.
The union has been clear it will “stand in unwavering solidarity” with SAG-AFTRA since the strike was called but UK anti-trade union laws state that “SAG-AFTRA members currently working under an Equity UK collective bargaining agreement should continue to report to work.”
Speaking to Deadline on the eve of the rally, Equity General Secretary Paul Fleming said “we are not going to have the UK used as a backdoor to undermine SAG-AFTRA’s dispute.”
Fleming is also attending the London rally alongside figures from the wider UK trade union movement and Labour Party politician John McDonnell, who used to be the opposition’s Shadow Chancellor. We’ll be updating from the event throughout.
Wee Man is ripping Disney for swapping out “dwarves” for taller actors in the upcoming live-action version of “Snow White” … he says it’s another existential threat facing his community.
We got the “Jackass” star at The Apple Pan in L.A., and asked about the Disney movie losing the little people in favor actors of average height.
Wee Man says it’s a really big mistake for Disney … he says it’s costing little people jobs, and he’s equating it to the looming threat of artificial intelligence in Hollywood.
Wee Man’s takeaway stands in stark contrast to another celeb … Peter Dinklagewent viral early last year in a tirade where he railed against Disney for even remaking “Snow White” — a tale he says horribly typecasts little people.
Disney’s pivot to non-little people actors isn’t scoring points with Wee Man, though he tells us the Mouse House can get back in his good graces with one small fix.
NBCUniversal has wrapped up one of the most unusual upfront ad seasons in history, managing to secure cash commitments roughly in line with last year’s record haul.
The upfront has been a complex undertaking for all major media players, dragging on through June and most of July. The WGA strike, which began May 1 and is continuing, threw a wrench into network presentations to ad buyers and also upended scheduling plans and production. The SAG-AFTRA walkout this month has exacerbated the labor woes, creating a cloud of uncertainty over the annual September launch of fall programming. (NBC on Wednesday announced a fall schedule featuring a notable number of scripted shows, unlike rivals relying heavily on unscripted fare in the strike-altered operating environment.)
NBCU’s annual upfront extravaganza at Radio City Music Hall also had extra levels of intrigue this year after longtime sales chief Linda Yaccarino decamped on the eve of the presentation as she prepared to jump to Twitter as CEO.
Across the board in the upfront, sports, streaming service Peacock, Telemundo, special events and various technology-driven innovations helped offset ongoing linear viewing declines and the impact of cord-cutting.
NBCU did not offer any official comment on the upfront process. Its parent company, Comcast, will report its second-quarter financial results on July 27 and execs will likely weigh in on the state of the sales effort. Dollar figures are generally held close to the corporate vest, but in recent years upfront commitments have been in the range of $3 billion and total ad sales north of $10 billion.
Expectations have been mounting for traditional media companies to report a dip in upfront revenue due to broader softness in the ad business, tough comparisons with last year and ongoing pressure from tech rivals like Netflix and Amazon. The former introduced advertising for the first time last November and the latter’s Prime Video debuted exclusive carriage of an established advertiser magnet, the NFL’s Thursday Night Football. Earlier Thursday, TelevisaUnivision CEO Wade Davis, formerly a longtime senior exec at Viacom, said the Hispanic media company was seeing upbeat signs in its upfront ad effort. He called it ““an incredible accomplishment in a broader market expected to be down.”
Speaking of Spanish-language programming, though, Telemundo posted its fourth straight year of upfront growth, coming in just shy of a double-digit increase over 2022, NBCU said. Volume was the highest it has been since 2019-20 as Hispanic viewers continue to show strength compared with the broader market.
After each event got some of the spotlight at the Radio City upfront event in May, NBCU is said to be seeing results from BravoCon, the 2024 Paris Olympics and the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. BravoCon will be held in Las Vegas in November, the Paris Games and the SNL commemoration will unfold during the seven months of shows planned for the 2024-25 season.
Paris Olympic sales are already at nearly double the pace of the pandemic-delayed 2020 Games, with about $100 million in ad commitments from brands who did not take part in Tokyo.
Sports has also boosted Peacock, which drew a 30% uptick in upfront commitments compared with 2022. The 3-year-old streaming service had 22 million subscribers as of last March. The streaming initiative began with “free as a bird” marketing and an emphasis on free, ad-supported viewing but has since shifted toward paid subscriptions. Along with a raft of originals, Peacock has onboarded WWE Network, Reelz and Hallmark programming and also ramped up live sports.
Vanna White has negotiated her deal with “Wheel of Fortune,” but only the celebrity version, not the syndicated show, and we’re told Sony has made it clear … they’re not receptive to her demands.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Vanna’s lawyer, Bryan Friedman, negotiated Vanna’s deal for “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.” Turns out that deal was up, but her contract for the syndicated show goes for another year, so first things first.
We’re told Friedman told Sony Vanna wanted 50% of what Pat was making, but Sony would not disclose Pat’s salary for “Celebrity Wheel.” We hear Pat makes just north of $400k an episode. In the end, we’re told Vanna settled for $100k an episode, which we’re told was a “meaningful bump” from her last contract.
As for the syndicated show, we’re told negotiations are halted because of the writers’ strike, but the parties are far apart.
TMZ broke the story, Vanna has asked for half of what Pat Sajak makes, which we’re told is around $15M a year. Vanna has made $3M for the last 18 years with no salary increase.
Our sources say Friedman asked Sony to use a third party who knows the game show space to evaluate Pat and Vanna’s roles and importance on the show, and then come up with a “fair figure.” We’re told Sony turned thumbs down to that request.
We’re told one of the problems … Sony believes they ended up paying Pat too much and they don’t want to use his salary for comparability. Apparently, that hasn’t sat well with Team Vanna.
TMZ.com
As one Vanna source put it, “It’s gonna get ugly if they [Sony] don’t get more serious.”
