Cindy Crawford Smacked by Tot in Lot

Posted Sep 3rd 2007 3:16PM by TMZ Staff

Supermodel Cindy Crawford went to the Malibu Carnival yesterday -- and while leaving, one of the toy-happy tots she had in tow attempted to smack her in the face with a giant balloon hammer! Watch that mole!

The Ivy hosted puffy funnyman Jimmy Kimmel and "Monty Python" comic genius John Cleese, who joked about the "wretched" food and also said, "I don't know why I keep coming back." With a doggy bag that big, he might not need to!

All this and more in today's "Getting Hammered on Labor Day" edition of Star Catcher!

Five Secrets to Comedy

Posted Jan 29th 2006 5:30PM by TMZ Staff

For every 'Seinfeld,' there are 100 like 'Emily's Reasons Why Not.' Why do most shows go so wrong, and a select few become iconic? TMZ has the secret to five great comedy TV shows, courtesy of two truly iconic funny people: 'Saturday Night Live' legend Cheri Oteri, and writer Alan Zweibel ('SNL,' 'The Garry Shandling Show,' 'Curb Your Enthusiasm').

Homer: The Committed Imbecile
When the animated series about a yellow family with funny hair premiered on FOX in 1989, no one expected it to live through the millennium. Seventeen seasons later, it's clear there's something quite genius about 'The Simpsons.'

The secret here is that the characters, although animated, are completely relatable. "It's fun to watch Homer speak directly from the empty place in his mind," Oteri says. "Everyone wants to say their stupid thoughts, but stops themselves." To Zweibel, the people of Springfield makes no apologies for the bigoted beings that they are, and because it's a cartoon, laughing at the screen doesn't seem so dirty.
