Jerry Seinfeld always had the best on-screen chemistry with close friend Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

ET correspondent Brooke Anderson spoke with Seinfeld at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, where he came to honor Louis-Dreyfus, who received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. The two starred in the beloved ’90s sitcom Seinfeld together, and the 64-year-old comedian revealed his favorite on-set moment with Louis-Dreyfus. 

“I think it was the Festivus scene,” Seinfeld tells ET, referring to the made-up holiday meant to be an alternative to the Christmas season popularized by the show. “Yeah, that big table and we were all exhausted and it was Yom Kippur and I was fasting and we were just, we were a wreck, you know, and we’re trying to do this scene, we were just laughing. Her makeup was running.”

“I just remember we could be a total mess — we were a total mess a lot of the times,” he continues. “The parking garage, a total mess up until, like, five in the morning shooting.”

Seinfeld credits the success of the show to Louis-Dreyfus, and said he knew just 30 seconds into her audition that she was perfect for the role of Elaine Benes, his ex-girlfriend turned good friend in the series. 

“I always felt like she was the diamond, she was the sparkle of the show that really made it the right chemistry — the right formula,” he notes. “You know, I really don’t think the show would have been successful without her.”

ET spoke to 57-year-old Louis-Dreyfus as well on Sunday about her big honor, and she said the highlight of her career has been working with talented co-stars on both Seinfeld and her critically acclaimed HBO hit, Veep.

“Oh God, I mean I’ve had so many, but I would say first and foremost the biggest highlight of my career has being able to work in a number of very significant ensembles,” she says. 

She also playfully reacted to viewing a clip of her first ET interview, which took place in 1982.

“Fix your hair,” she says when asked about any advice she’d give her younger self. “I’m not kidding.”

As for her recent difficult battle with breast cancer — in January, she underwent her last round of chemotherapy — the actress said that these days, she is grateful for everything.

“I’m just happy to be here and I cherished my life before, and now I cherish it all,” she says. 

Last September, ET talked to Seinfeld about a possible reboot of his iconic series of the same name, and he explained why he wasn’t interested. Watch below:

Olivia Munn is a smart jet setter.

ET teamed up with American Express in celebration of their new  Starwood Preferred Guest® American Express Luxury Credit Card and got to chat with their brand ambassador, Munn, who shared her travel tips and tricks.

“Honest to goodness, my best travel hack is bringing a hot water bottle with you on the plane,” she told ET’s Brice Sander at the launch event for the new card. “Cheap, from the drug store, you bring it on the plane and you get the flight attendant to fill it up with boiling hot water, which they always have for their hot teas and their coffee. It makes every flight so comfortable. I do that before the flight takes off and I’ve always noticed that they’re surprised that I have it.”

Munn, who is a loyal card member, shared the perks of the company’s new Starwood Preferred Guest® American Express Luxury Credit Card.

“It’s kind of amazing, because of all the points you get back,” she explained. “This card specifically, the amount of points you get back, you know, 6x your points for every dollar spent on certain hotels, and then 3x for certain restaurants and stuff. It’s really awesome, [those are] the perks for being an Amex cardholder, they really kind of kick up to another level.”

The actress also mentioned the importance of treating yourself whenever people go on long trips.

“My gosh, whenever I travel…especially whenever you’re flying so long, I love to get a great massage or facial,” she said.

Nicole Kidman is explaining her recent viral quotes about how being married to Tom Cruise in her 20s protected her from sexual harassment. 

The 51-year-old actress appeared on the Today show on Monday, where she further explained that being married at 23 (while Cruise was 28) gave her a different experience than most women at that age. 

“I’m saying because I was married at 23 years old, I wasn’t going to parties, or I wasn’t going out a lot,” she told Today co-anchors Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie. “I was pretty much at home. I had my first child at 25 and I was married. I was in a family so, my sense of being in the world was I was working or I was at home.”

In a New York magazine article earlier this month, Kidman opened up about one aspect of her marriage to Cruise, writing, “I got married very young, but it definitely wasn’t power for me — it was protection.”

“I married for love, but being married to an extremely powerful man kept me from being sexually harassed,” she continued. “I would work, but I was still very much cocooned. So when I came out of it at 32, 33, it’s almost like I had to grow up.” 

Kidman didn’t backtrack on the quote on Monday, noting, “I think when you’re married to a very powerful man, I mean, I’m not in a male’s mind but …. when I said protection, I think there’s almost like a barrier a lot of women don’t have — that a lot of people in the world don’t have.” 

Kidman and Cruise divorced in 2001 after more than a decade of marriage. The pair shares two adopted kids together — 25-year-old Isabella and 23-year-old Connor. These days, the Oscar-winning actress is happily married to country superstar Keith Urban. The couple has two daughters together, 10-year-old Sunday and 7-year-old-Faith. 

“I also don’t like discussing exes and all of that because I’m married,” Kidman notes. “I’m very happily married. I have two little girls and I think it’s almost disrespectful, one, to Tom, and disrespectful to Keith, so I try to stay in the here and now.”

Meanwhile, Kidman and 50-year-old Urban have never been shy about packing on the PDA. In May, they shared a passionate kiss onstage at Lincoln Center’s American Songbook Gala in New York City. Watch the sweet moment below:

This is what true love Down Under looks like!

On Monday, Chris Hemsworth and his stunning wife, Elsa Pataky, caught some waves together at Australia’s picturesque Byron Bay. The day at the beach also offered the couple the chance to show off their camera-ready bods for all the locals. Pataky chose a leopard-print one-piece and a ball-cap for the laid-back day while her movie star hubby went shirtless in his wetsuit, offering lucky passersby a glimpse of his chiseled physique.

In the past, the leading man has been candid about why he wanted his kids — daughter India, 6, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, both 4 — to grow up in a quiet seaside community in Australia rather than a bustling major city.

“L.A. is a tough place to get around with kids,” he told Modern Luxury in 2016. “There’s not a whole lot of foot traffic. It was all about loading up the car and car seats. Here, we just walk out the door and head to the beach down the street. It’s a much more simple life.”

Just one day prior to Hemsworth’s day of surfing with his wife, he and a pal picked up a hitchhiker. Not only did the weary traveler get to meet a world-famous actor, he also got to join them for a helicopter ride! The Avengers: Infinity War star shared the entire journey with his fans on Instagram, including Scott the hitchhiker climbing into the chopper with his guitar.

Last week, the 35-year-old actor completed filming on the upcoming Men in Black spinoff which co-stars Tessa Thompson. On the last day of shooting, he shared a photo of himself, Thompson and the film’s director F. Gary Gray on set.

“That’s a wrap on MIB for me!!” the Australian captioned the photo. “From London to Morocco to Italy and NYC. Thank you to all the fantastic cast and crew who took part on this epic journey and our director F. Gary Gray, cheers for the fun times, big laughs and solid memories. Can’t wait to show what we’ve put together. see you all soon.”

Soon, he’ll start filming the next Star Trek sequel alongside co-stars Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Zachary Quinto and John Cho.

It all comes down to a breakdown… and a butt.

Well, that’s putting The Real Housewives of Orange County cast’s season 13 trip to Jamaica simply. Monday night’s episode finds the ladies in the middle of their island getaway, which Kelly Dodd admits was her favorite experience on the show, so far.

“It really was,” she gleefully confesses. “I mean, because the last trips — I went to Iceland, which was cool. I had a great time there, but a little, you know with the food wasn’t… I mean I like, I don’t like the cold.”

“You know, I’m from Arizona,” she continues. “So, I don’t really wanna see glaciers, but it was a great experience, don’t get me wrong. Ireland was a nightmare, as you know. Jamaica was fun. I just had a great time in Jamaica.”

The trip got off to a lighthearted start, with Vicki Gunvalson confessing to needing sex “four times a day,” much to her co-stars’ shock… well, except for Kelly.

“She’s a nympho,” Kelly claims. “I know she’s really like that because she’s horny. What can I say? I mean, she likes it. And she says it’s because of the pellets, the hormones she’s taking.”

Kelly admits she has no idea if Vicki and her boyfriend, Steve Lodge, actually do it four times a day, adding that she doesn’t even want to picture that possibility. What she will entertain, however, is her and Tamra Judge’s theory that Vicki got some sort of booty work done. The pals focus in on Vicki’s bottom during the Jamaica trip, noticing it appears more lifted, rounder and firmer than they remember.

“Well, I mean, I never realized that she had a badunkadunk like that,” Kelly says. “I mean, that thing is round and hard. I know she doesn’t work out all that often. I mean, we were shocked.”

Vicki credits her improved booty to regularly exercising with something called “Booty Bands,” but Kelly’s not buying it, saying she believes her castmate went under the knife for a better behind.

“But you know what? She does come clean about every other surgery,” Kelly notes. “I don’t understand why she wouldn’t say… maybe it is the Booty Bands!”

While Kelly and Tamra never get to the bottom of, well, Vicki’s bottom in Jamaica, they do get sucked into Hurricane Shannon Beador. Shannon unleashes on her friends after the group confronts her at dinner over some selfish behavior.

“She unhinges,” Kelly explains. “She’s trying to navigate through divorce, her kids … I mean, in hindsight, I think we should have been a little bit more empathetic towards Shannon. But, you know, Shannon was caught up all in her drama and wasn’t really asking about other people and how they were doing, it was all about her. And you could see that she was kind of, you know, kinda getting out of control there a little bit.”

First, it’s newbies Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson leading the charge against Shannon, lamenting that she hasn’t even tried to get to know them. Then, that duo ropes Tamra into it by telling Shannon that Tamra has been sharing with the group that she feels like Shannon hasn’t been a good friend to her lately. That’s what really sets Shannon off, so much so that she has to leave the dinner table.

Tamra, Kelly and Vicki chase after her to calm her down, which works for a second — but then, Shannon demands the cameras stop filming; and as soon as they’re back at the resort, the women get into a screaming match.

“I thought that Shannon was gonna get a heart attack or, like, a stroke,” Kelly recalls. “I thought something horrific was gonna happen to her because she was so emotional and, like, upset and screaming and crying. It was too much.”

Both Tamra and Kelly note that Shannon would call them all hours of the night looking for emotional support, but the conversation would always be one way: about Shannon. Well, that all changed in Jamaica.

“Oh, yeah, she completely stopped calling,” Kelly shares. “I think she got the memo. She doesn’t do it anymore. And, you know, I feel bad that we were complaining about it, but, you know, I have a daughter … I can’t be, like, waking up in the middle of the night ‘cause I have to wake up early, get her off to school, you know?”

After the screaming match at the hotel, Shannon ices out the group, going radio silent on all her friends.

“Shannon didn’t have to, you know, not call me back,” Kelly notes. “I didn’t do anything to her. I mean, she could have gave me thumbs up. I was genuinely, like, worried about her. I thought something really bad happened to her.”

Kelly promises nothing bad happens to Shannon, but it does take some time for her to find her footing with the ladies.

“The group, you know, is kind of divided,” Kelly says. “But yet, we all make amends at the end.”

Today, Kelly says she and Shannon are “really goods friends,” something she never could’ve predicted three years ago when she joined the cast.

“She tries to hook me up with her friends,” Kelly reveals. “She calls me to have lunch, dinner. I talk to her all the time … Like, you know, I thought she was a little pretentious, a little rude. But turns out, I was totally mistaken. She’s awesome.”

Tune into The Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo, Mondays at 9 p.m. ET, to see how it all plays out. For more on the show, check out the video and links below.

One of filmmaker Guillermo del Toro’s dream projects is about to be realized.

On Monday, Netflix announced that they have greenlit the beloved director’s next film, a stop-motion remake of the musical Pinocchio, according to multiple outlets.

“Throughout his distinguished career, Guillermo has exhibited mastery in inspiring people through his magical worlds filled with unforgettable and magnificent characters, from the monsters in Pan’s Labyrinth to the aquatic beast in The Shape of Water,” the streaming giant’s VP for Kids & Family Melissa Cobb wrote in a statement, via The Hollywood Reporter. “We are incredibly excited to expand our relationship with Guillermo and we know that his deeply touching vision for bringing Pinocchio to life on Netflix will be embraced by audiences the world over.” 

Del Toro has been attempting to helm a darker take on the classic story since the early 00s. In 2017, after initially teasing that he was finalizing a deal on the film with Amazon, he told IGN the project was “not happening.” However, after winning the Best Picture and Best Director Oscars for The Shape of Water, it appears the fairy tale has gotten a new lease on life.

“No art form has influenced my life and my work more than animation and no single character in history has had as deep of a personal connection to me as Pinocchio,” del Toro wrote in a statement, via Deadline. “In our story, Pinocchio is an innocent soul with an uncaring father who gets lost in a world he cannot comprehend. He embarks on an extraordinary journey that leaves him with a deep understanding of his father and the real world. I’ve wanted to make this movie for as long as I can remember.” 

“After the incredible experience we have had on Trollhunters, I am grateful that the talented team at Netflix is giving me the opportunity of a lifetime to introduce audiences everywhere to my version of this strange puppet-turned-real-boy,” he added.

According to THR, this new iteration of Pinocchio will take place during the rise of fascism under Mussolini in Italy, a particularly dark chapter in the country’s history.

This is the acclaimed Mexican filmmaker’s first attempt at tackling an animated project after consulting on several including Rise of the Guardians and Puss in Boots, not to mention producing Book of Life.

Looks like Ariana Grande is turning over a new leaf after her split from ex-fiance Pete Davidson.

On Sunday, the 25-year-old singer shared a message on her Instagram Story reading, “Protect your peace, get rid of toxicity, cleanse your space, cultivate love.” The message comes after news broke last week that she and Davidson have called it quits after a whirlwind romance that started in May.

Meanwhile, Grande also continued to post videos of the exes’ pet pig together, Piggy Smalls. 

On Saturday, 24-year-old Davidson addressed his split from Grande for the first time during a comedy show with Judd Apatow at Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles, joking about having to move out of the New York City apartment he and Grande were living in together.

“Well, as you could tell, I don’t want to be here. There’s a lot going on,” he told the audience, according to multiple outlets. “Does anybody have any open rooms? Looking for a roommate?”

After getting engaged in June, Davidson and Grande moved in together into a lavish 4,023 square-foot apartment in NYC, ET previously reported. However, in a later interview with GQ, Davidson made it clear the luxurious space was Grande’s.

“She’s really sweet. She’s like, ‘This is our house,’ and I’m like, ‘You’re very nice for saying that. Thank you for letting me stay here,’” he told the magazine. “She’s like, ‘We’re getting married!’ And I’m like, ‘I know, thank you for letting me stay here.’”

A source previously told ET that the Saturday Night Live star is “heartbroken” over their breakup.

“Ariana made the final decision,” the source said. “It was time to realize this wasn’t the right time for them and Pete is incredibly heartbroken. Pete is still so in love with her. He wanted his whole world to revolve around her but she was emotionally unavailable. He realizes she was at her limit with pressure from everyone and everything around her. There were days she just wanted to run away from the world just to get some peace and quiet and peace of mind. Pete had to give her that space out of love.”
