We kid, we kid! They just happened to run into each other at dinna!

Last night, Larry King and his wife Shawn took their kids, Cannon and Chance, out for a bite at California Pizza Kitchen. When they arrived, spotted Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed having dinner at the bar and said hello.

Nice! You never know who you'll run into in this town!

Larry King wasn’t gone for long. On May 1st, CNN will present A Larry King Special – Unthinkable: the Alzheimer’s Epidemic.

Alzheimer's is said to be the sixth-leading cause of death across all ages in the US and will be talked about in depth during the one hour special.

And joining Larry will be some notable names such as the former First Lady Laura Bush and California’s former First Lady and Alzheimer’s activist Maria Shriver.

Ronald Reagan’s son, Ron Reagan will also chat with Larry as well as Seth Rogen and Angie Dickinson.

Turns out Rogen is dealing with the issue after his fiancee’s mother was diagnosed with the disease at just 55-years-old. Rogen reveals:

“More and more people in our generation are gonna have to deal with it. We’re dealing with it before most people have to. But as you get older and you see it happening to your parents, and ultimately realize it could happen to yourself and your friends, it becomes much more real and not some imaginary old person problem, you know?”

Sad, but true!

Will U be tuning in this Sunday?

Back in February, we were impressed to hear that Larry King was going on tour with his one-man show Larry King: Stand Up at 77 years old!

We're kind of bummed to report that if you to Ticketmaster.com, you'll see that TWO of Larry's shows have already been canceled…and his NY show has been rescheduled for NOVEMBER!

Not only that, but if you search tickets for the remaining shows, you'll see that PRIME seats pop up…

Is Larry's tour a BOMB already???

We've had our ups and downs with the guy recently, but we were kind of inspired to see how he was keeping active and continuing to expand his horizons at 77. Would be pretty sad to us if this tour is doomed before it even begins…

Do U think Larry's tour is a bomb? Or is everything going to be all right for the King?

Why don't you tell Piers Morgan how you REALLY feel about his show, Larry…

Here's what Larry King had to say about Piers' performance as his replacement during a recent interview:

“It’s like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Bentley."

Ouch! We're sure Piers is feeling great after hearing that one.

And here's what Larry had to say about potentially teaming up with The Daily Show:

“Jon Stewart called me – I don’t know if I’m a correspondent – he said, ‘How would you like to be on like every two weeks?’ I’d do my old column. I used to write for USA Today, where I gave extemporaneous thoughts just as they occurred.”

As we said before, we weren't crazy about the "little joke" that Larry made at Anderson Cooper's expense during Donald Trump's roast, but you know what? Screw it! We'd love to see him on the show as long as he leaves our Silver Fox alone!

As we've also said before, it's kind of fantastic how Larry's keeping active and continuing to expand his horizons at 77 years old…although he was kind of brutal towards Piers Morgan…

Would U like to see Larry King on The Daily Show? And what did U think of his Piers Morgan burn?

For a while now, Comedy Central has made it clear that they are on Team Larry. Here's what they said about him back in December:

"There's not enough Larry on TV."

Looks like they've been proactive in their effort to bring MORE Larry King to TV, because now they're in talks to bring him on as a contributor to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Here's what a source had to say about it:

"A single conversation has happened. It's still extremely preliminary. He'll be on every now and again, like Lewis Black. He's not joining as a correspondent but a contributor."

We weren't crazy about Larry's little joke about Anderson Cooper during Donald Trump's roast, but we SUPPOSE we can look past that and get excited about this…as long as it doesn't happen again!

Would U like to see Larry King on The Daily Show?

Wait, what??

At Comedy Central's Donald Trump roast, which taped last week, Larry King referred to Anderson Cooper as a "she."

While up at the podium, Larry said:

"Anderson Cooper is coming up next. Let's see what she's up to."

A friend later defended Larry, saying:

"He was just having a little fun,. Larry has huge respect for Anderson and couldn't care less who he chooses to sleep with."

Uhh, so that makes it okay? We don't think so!

That was totally uncalled for, Larry!

And it's not even funny!
