Diane Kruger brought longtime love Joshua Jackson with her when she attended the 2013 FX Upfronts bowling party in NYC yesterday. She wore a Jason Wu ensemble and red Chanel bag as she walked the red carpet and mingled inside the event with FX stars like Keri Russell and The League's Mark Duplass and Katie Aselton.

Diane is in town to do press for her film The Host, which hits theaters today, but she swung by the FX event to promote her new role in The Bridge, which premieres in July. She will play a detective who is trying to track down a serial killer operating on the US-Mexican border. Josh has been staying by Diane's side while she does promotional work around the Big Apple. He attended The Host's premiere in NYC on Wednesday, but stayed out of the limelight when she appeared on Good Morning America yesterday.

There are shirts bearing some of the series' finest jokes, plush toys in the form of the cuddliest/creepiest character, and lots of fun things to use for the perfect viewing party of the fantasy-football-based show.

FX Plans Curb Your Enthusiasm-Style Series About Fantasy Football

Much of what I find entertaining about Curb Your Enthusiasm is the semi-scripted, semi-improvised aspect, which often makes the awkwardness or hilarity (or both) of a scene that much more authentic and funny.

Much of what I find entertaining about Curb Your Enthusiasm is the semi-scripted, semi-improvised aspect, which often makes the awkwardness or hilarity (or both) of a scene that much more authentic and funny. And of course, because the show is on HBO they can get away with some outrageous stuff. But if any network is going to pick up a tonally similar show and run with it, it should probably be FX. Some of the things they get away with on Nip/Tuck and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia boggle my mind!

So, it makes sense that FX is adding the new fantasy football-centered comedy The League to its slate. Curb Your Enthusiasm executive producer/director Jeff Schaffer will direct the series, which will be semi-scripted and include improvisational elements. Here's more:

The project, which Schaffer co-created with his wife, Jackie Marcus Schaffer, centers on a fantasy football league and tackles issues of marriage, friendship, parenting and love in suburbia.

In the words of lead character Pete (Mark Duplass): "God bless fantasy football. There are many things a man can do with his time; this is better than those things."

I love that Schaffer developed the show with his wife, and it'll be awesome to see this kind of comedy on a channel that isn't pay cable. I don't even care about fantasy football and I'm already looking forward to this series.
