More from Watch with Kristin

• Gossip Girl: Don't want to wait until Monday to see Lady Gaga's guest gig on Gossip Girl's "Last Days of Disco Stick"? Press play above for a sneak peek of the showy pop star's big musical number.

• Curb Your Enthusiasm: As it turns out, super-Jew Larry David is 37 percent Native American, or so say the geneticists employed by the Lopez Tonight show.

• Private Practice: Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice boss Shonda Rhimes announced that Kate Walsh has joined Twitter, if you're into that kind of thing. You can follow her at @k8_walsh. Now, a question after last night's heartbreak of an episode: Why doesn't Private Practice ever address what must be Addison's loudly ticking biological clock? They confront her lonely girl status, but she's a baby doc for crissakes, and yet she never once has evinced an interest in procreating. Are we the only ones who find that odd?

• Charlie's New Angels: This sounds strangely fun. Sarah Connor Chronicles boss Josh Friedman and multihyphenate cutie Drew Barrymore are collaborating on a possible new Charlie's Angels series for ABC. Got any sexy casting ideas?

• Caprica: The Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica has been cut back by one hour to save money. The series, which stars Eric Stoltz and Esai Morales, premieres Jan. 22 on Syfy.

Larry David Makes Jesus Cry, Angers Catholics

Should Larry David have curbed his urine stream on last week's Curb Your Enthusiasm?

The plot thread in which Larry's midriff-showing assistant thinks her mom's painting of Jesus is crying because of Larry's bathroom backsplash has a couple of Catholic groups on the offensive against what they perceive as a tasteless, persecutorial jab against their religion.

"I don't think it's funny," InsideCatholic.com publisher Deal Hudson told FoxNews.com. "Why is it that people are allowed to publicly show that level of disrespect for Christian symbols? If the same thing was done to a symbol of any other religions—Jewish or Muslim—there'd be a huge outcry. It's simply not a level playing field."

Hudson thinks an apology is in order.

But Curb is indeed an equal-opportunity lampooner. No character is safe from being made to look like an ass, and HBO is proud of it.

Seinfeld Stars Reunite With Enthusiasm

Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer are preparing to meet their maker.

Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and a probably pretty grateful Michael Richards will show up for a multi-episode arc on Seinfeld creator Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm this season.

The funnymen-and-woman will play Curb-style versions of themselves (aka more neurotic and self-absorbed) on the critically acclaimed life-reflects-art series, which is returning to HBO for a 10-week seventh season.

This will be Richards' first time on the show, while the rest of the quirky quartet have previous cameos—but it will be the first time Richards, Louis-Dreyfus, Alexander and Seinfeld have shared a soundstage since their Seinfeld incarnations were sent up the river in 1998.
