Well, this is bound to piss some people off.

A little bit over a year ago, Roman Polanski's rape victim Samantha Geimer spoke up about the director's crime on Larry King Live.

Now, Polanski is being honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival on Sept. 27.

While we understand that he's had an impressive career, we're not sure if someone with his criminal track record deserves so much positive recognition.

What do U think? Does Roman Polanski deserve a lifetime achievement award???

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!

This is SO sad!

Seth Rogen's mother-in-law has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He and his fiance, Lauren Miller, sat down with Larry King to discuss the devastating disease for CNN's Unthinkable: The Alzheimer's Epidemic, which airs this Sunday at 8 p.m. eastern time.

Although Alzheimer's is typically thought to affect primarily "old people", Seth brings to light that the devestating effects of the disease can begin earlier than we all thought.

Lauren's mother was diagnosed at just 55-years-old and has luckily survived so far, but was forced to retire early from her teaching job.

Seth says even though he met Lauren before her mother's official diagnosis, he could notice a "drastic difference" within the first few times he met her, explaining:

"Honestly, her abilitiy to verbalize things was the thing that I noticed that was most affected. Her ability to, literally, access words was really affected by it."

When Larry asked Lauren if she was angry about her mother's condition, she answered:

"Very. It's pretty unfair, but I think the things that make me angry are that, unfortunately, this disease gets very little attention."

So true, Lauren! We hope that that this television special and your words can help bring more attention to the disease, which may one day lead to a cure.

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?

But just a little bit!

Larry King was on Piers Morgan's new show, and had some questions for the new host.

King thinks that Morgan might have been "oversold" to us, and went on to set the record straight.

King first said this to BBC 4:

"He was going to be dangerous. He was going to be water cooler talk. He’s good. He’s not that dangerous.”

And then on Morgan's show, he stood by that statement:

"Were you being facetious when you said you were dangerous?" King asked. "Was that an attempt at British humor?"

Ouch! We don't know if it's true, but Morgan does claim there was a bit of British humor involved.

And to that, King said:

"I don’t get it, I'm from Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, if you say you're dangerous, you better be dangerous."

We're not totally sure who to side with here. On one side, we have King who is really focused on whether or not a talk show host is "dangerous" but still thinks he's doing well, and on the other we have Morgan who had just been Britishly (makin' up words here) joking.

Both seem a bit ridiculous when we think about it.

Let's move on!

Good luck with the new show, Piers!

Thoughts??

LOLz!

Check out this HIGHlarious clip from Conan of guest Larry King hijacking the comedian's interview with extreme sports superstar Shaun White.

They can take the show away from Larry, but they'll never take away his spirit!

Maybe Conan O'Brien could learn a thing or two from Larry. Ha!
