Larry David Splits Up With His Eco-Warrior Wife
It must be great starring as yourself in a sitcom all about you like Larry David does – that is, until something sad happens to you in real life and nobody at all is able to picture it without hearing the show's lighthearted circusy Italian theme-tune.
Larry David from Curb Your Enthusiasm has split up with his wife of 14 years Laurie David. According to the both of them the split is a friendly one, and Larry and Laurie are still living together with their children, but no details have been given about the cause of the split yet. However, based on hours of evidence we'd assume that Larry David went to some sort of social function with his wife and said something rude and embarrassing, kicking off a loose chain of hilariously improvised events with an occasional guest-star spot from Ted Danson.
Although the fictional Larry David is always getting up to all kinds of Victor Meldrewish tricks on Curb Your Enthusiasm, nobody knows all that much about the real Larry David. We know that he's friends with a man who wants to spear the anuses of African Americans with pitchforks and we suspect that his wife may have been the person who convinced Sheryl Crow to stop wiping her arse, but that's it.
No, not wife. Ex-wife. Soon-to-be ex-wife. Probably. Larry David and Laurie David, his environmentalist wife of 14 years, have announced that they are splitting up, as E! Online reports:
The Curb Your Enthusiasm star and Laurie David, his wife of nearly 14 years, have quietly and "completely amicably" separated, a source close to the couple confirms to E! Online. The source added that the two remain "the best of friends," and, for once, it doesn't just appear to be Hollywood speak. Both the Seinfeld cocreator and the environmental activist continue to live together in their Los Angeles home, though the comic mastermind is planning on moving out.
It seems, for once, as if the 'amicable' line is mostly true in this case, as Larry David, Laurie David and their children 12-year-old Cazzie and 10-year-old Romy reportedly still eat together and Larry David has been doing guest cameos on Hannah Montana with the girls – although feasibly this could be a sly pre-divorce 'I love you more than that tree-hugging shrew of a mother' move. We genuinely don't know.
Let's hope that Larry David doesn't take this split as badly as other celebrities have – the last thing we'd want to see is Larry curmudgeonly vomiting on boys or collapsing in clubs. And the less we see of Larry David's vagina the better, frankly. Although he is already bald, which admittedly cuts out the middle man on the road to painting numbers on his head and calling himself the devil somewhat.
