Things turned sour for The Pickle on The Masked Singer after he sang the Weezer hit “Beverly Hills” on Wednesday night’s episode. Turns out it was actor-comedian Michael Rapaport, who was eliminated and unmasked at the end of the show.
While Rapaport’s rap-sung verses on “Beverly Hills” were fine, he didn’t show much range on the anthemic chorus — although he gets some humor points for replacing the “gimme, gimme” line with “pickle, pickle.”
Sadly for Rapaport, The Pickle didn’t make the cut. After he took off his mask, the True Romance actor went into an amusing profanity-laced tirade against the judges, calling Ken Jeong a “fake-ass doctor,” and telling Nicole Scherzinger, “Don’t suck up to me now!” But all kidding aside, he said he had a “great time” and insisted, “I love the show.”
Prior to the reveal, none of the judges guessed correctly. Scherzinger...

2017-10-17T08:07:38-07:00Steve Bannon is a 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Fan
When your TV series' main character's trademark is being rude and treating people with very little respect, it turns out that you run the risk of attracting questionable fans. Former Donald Trump chief advisor Steve Bannon revealed over the weekend that he thinks Larry David of Curb Your Enthusiasm is a "genius." That didn't sit well with the show's producers, who'd like to think that they're ideologically polar opposites of Bannon. But maybe they should use the revelation as motivation to carefully examine the tone and impact of their work.

Larry David has found himself a surprising fan in Steve Bannon.
The former White House chief strategist to President Donald Trump has returned to running Breitbart News, and though he was too busy to catch last week's episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm,...

Michael Shulman is frequently cast as a young innocent, but he didn't start his new production company, Starry Night, to combat typecasting by creating roles for himself. "I want to be involved in the creative process and to understand how projects get made," he says. "I will not be in every project." But he admits that being the producer allows him to shape the characters he does play. Sherman's Way, Starry Night's first production, is an example.In this easygoing road-trip movie, which was released March 5, Shulman plays an overindulged, well-heeled mama's boy traveling through Northern California with an over-the-hill, blue-collar former Olympian. The two men, who have nothing in common, learn important lessons and grow up together. "I didn't want this to be just a rich kid who doesn't care," Shulman says. "So I tried to find the parts of Sherman that do care. If Sherman cares—if I care—the audience cares.
