Jerry Seinfeld Is Lucky To Be Alive!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 18:10:00 GMT

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is lucky to be alive! The actor survived a serious car wreck in the Hamptons last weekend when the brakes on his vintage Fiat failed. Seinfeld was driving alone at the time on Skimhampton Road in East Hampton - the accident occurred around 7:40 p.m. according to the New York Post.

Police Chief Todd Sarris told the newspaper, "The brakes went bad. He had to pull the emergency brake." Jerry's car was headed toward traffic on Montauk Hightway when he lost control and he was forced to swerve to the right and the car ended up rolling onto the passenger side, and then the roof, before halting a few feet shy of other vehicles at an intersection on the driver's side.

Sarris continues, "His actions probably avoided a serious accident. I think he was a little shaken up, with justification."

Jessica Seinfeld told the Post, "He was a little shocked when he walked in and it started to dawn on him what happened. I was extremely relieved and grateful, and I'm feeling very lucky that nothing happened." She also said he walked away "without a scratch."

I'm sure his wife and three kids are quite relieved that he's okay!

Jerry, always the wiseguy said, "Because I know there are kids out there, I want to make sure they all know that driving without braking is not something I recommend, unless you have professional clown training or a comedy background, as I do. It's not something I plan to make a habit of." Ha!

With Alvin and the Chipmunks being such a huge hit (why), it's about time to take the feline and the rodent live-action. And I know just the people to play the parts...

... BFFs Tom Cruise and Jerry Seinfeld, who have been spending lots of quality time together in New York lately. They started off by double-dating with their wives for dinner last week, and then Cruise and daughter Suri paid a visit to Seinfeld's garage. (That's what freakin' rich people do, visit each other's garages.)

The new duo have raised suspicions that Cruse is luring Seinfeld into his Scientolofreak web. Let's hope the cat doesn't get the mouse.

Jessica Seinfeld Hauled Into Court for Plagiarism

Karen — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 13:10:00 GMT

Missy Chase Lapine, author of The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals, has filed papers with the courts to take on Jessica Seinfeld for plagiarism.

Jessica's similar book, Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Getting your Kids Eating Good Food, went on the market 6 months after Lapine's did.

The suit addresses the similarities between the two books, the comments Jerry Seinfeld made about Lapine "coming out of the woodwork," and the fact that Lapine pointed out similarities between the books to her own publisher and to Seinfeld's 6 months before publishing her own book.

I have no idea how this is going to end, but Jessica is annoying and my Granny has snuck veggies into all kinds of foods for years. I think Granny needs a cut of the action.

UPDATE: Thanks Uri for the link to the actual court documents.

Jessica Seinfeld Tries To Smack Food Out of The View Co-Host's Mouth

Karen — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 15:33:00 GMT

I know you're probably as sick of her as I am, but Jessica Seinfeld appeared on that ~~crap ass show full of clucking hens~~ The View and when asked by Barbara Walters about plagerism of The Sneaky Chef, Jessica went on the defensive and tried to karate chop the food that was being shovelled into Sherri Shepard's maw.

(Seriously watch the video if only to watch Shepard inhale some of that spinach laden muffin crap Seinfeld seems to be promoting. Blech. Has she no shame?)

Jessica blathered on about people trying to cut you down, take away your success by finding the crack or something. Perhaps the book is actually a front to teach people how to hide crack in their kid's food? A smuggle narcotics how-to?

I don't like her very much. She should concentrate more on teaching her kids to stop whining, but sweetheart, you need to lead by example.

Try here at Celebitchy - they have the video still.

Jessica Seinfeld On The Defensive, Again

HerBadMother — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 22:33:00 GMT

I'm starting to feel a little bit sorry for Jessica Seinfeld. Only a very little bit - I still think that she's a bit of a spoiled brat who maybe crossed a line or six in not acknowledging the unoriginality (ahem) of her recent best-selling, kid-deceiving cookbook - but still: some. After all, she's taking a bit of beating, and even the Teflon-coated popularity of her husband isn't really shielding the blows. The latest: The New York Times has been asking uncomfortable questions about the precised circumstances of her divorce, eight years ago. Did she or didn't she dump her newlywed husband, Eric Nederlander, just days after their honeymoon? Did she or didn't she immediately take up with Jerry Seinfeld? Isn't it true that she was involved with Seinfeld prior to that brief, ill-fated marriage?

Jessica's been warding off the questions with lame denials ("my marriage was already in trouble before the wedding;" "I met Jerry at a gym weeks later") but nobody seems to be buying it, not least The New York Times, which points out that "Ms. Seinfeld's account contradicts the unfolding of events as described in the news media at the time -- namely, that she left her husband for the comedian -- and which her own statements seemed to confirm."

Poor Jessica. This is how people treat you when you don't bribe them with $21,000 worth of designer shoes. Life just ain't fair.

When Bees Attack! Jerry Seinfeld Gets All Up In Larry King's Hive

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 10:05:00 GMT

Poor Jerry Seinfeld. First his wife is accused of being a plagiarizing carrot-masher, and now Larry King mistakenly asks whether Seinfeld left his hit show or was cancelled. As you'll see, Jerry is apparently a little, uh, stung by this.

Perhaps a bit testy these days because of CookbookGate and also the tepid critical reaction to his Bee Movie, Seinfeld overreacts just a tiiny bit (ya think?) before King desperately cuts to a commercial.

Watch the video of Jerry going all Soup Nazi on Larry's ass!

Jerry Seinfeld Thinks It's HIL-arious That His Wife's Been Called A Thief

HerBadMother — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:02:00 GMT

It's too bad that the show Seinfeld is no longer on the air - Jessica Seinfeld's travails with her family cookbook, "Deceptively Delicious," would make a great sitcom storyline. So says Jerry Seinfeld, who can't believe that his wife has been accused of plagiarising vegetables.

“Hil-arious! Hilarious. Hilarious,” the comedian told EW. “I was saying to her this morning, I’m really regretting that I’m not doing the sitcom right now. 'The Puree Plagiarizer’ is a Seinfeld episode: ‘You stole my mushed-up carrots! I invented mushed-up carrots!' It’s just absolutely a riot to me."

He later went on David Letterman and said that the whole debacle makes a mockery of the very idea of plagiarism. “I love the term ‘plagiarism’ for this little event,” he said. “Because it used to be you had to really take a theme from a major novel, some sort of literary narrative. Now, you’re in your kitchen making brownies, you sneak a little spinach in there, your name’s dragged through the mud.”

Okay, so that's pretty funny. Jerry Seinfeld's a funny guy. But I still suspect that his wife is a bit of a douche who probably knew that there was a book like hers that had already been published but didn't care because, hey, she's Jessica Seinfeld and of course her book is going to sell bigger and so why should she give anyone credit? Nobody sells a book project without checking the market to see what else is out there - and Seinfeld's publisher had received and rejected the first book (“The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids’ Favorite Meals” by Missy Chase Lapine) only months before picking up Seinfeld's project. And in any case, the whole controversy got fired up when Jessica Seinfeld claimed on Oprah that she did, in fact, invent mushed-up carrots. Which, end of the day, is the most ludicrous thing about this so-called controversy: a spoiled socialite who is best known for spending her gazillionaire husband's money on shoes expects us to believe that she just one day, while hovering over a blender, 'came up' with the idea of sneaking pureed vegetables into her kids' food. This, when really, I'd bet good odds that she's not touched a single kitchen appliance since becoming Mrs. Seinfeld. I don't believe it, and I'm pretty gullible. (I'm also pretty lazy, and have to admit that I wouldn't be laboring over blenders if I had a gazillion dollars. I'd hire a blender-jockey, for sure. But I digress.)

So, yeah, the whole thing would make a good Seinfeld episode. But it would totally be a Sue Ellen Mischke episode, and the Jessica-inspired Sue Ellen would send Oprah 20K worth of designer bras to thank her for promoting the book idea that she ripped off of Elaine. Classic.

Jerry Seinfeld on 'Bee Movie,' Life, and Kids

Karen — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 15:03:00 GMT

USA Today has a great interview with Jerry Seinfeld, including a photo montage and a sneak peek at the upcoming 'Bee Movie.' It sounds like he's just a big kid at heart:

"I wanted the Play-Doh experience. You open a can of Play-Doh and you dump that turquoise cylinder on a table, and you can do whatever you want. There's no rules," he says. "And the smell, of course — I don't know if that's considered sniffing. If it is, count me in.

"Making an animated movie is playing with toys, except you're a grown-up, and there's millions of dollars at stake."

In regards to home life, Jessica says he cracks the kids up so hard, she thinks they're going to choke. "He makes me laugh endlessly, and he makes our children cackle. He does funny voices, funny faces. Even though my kids have not seen Bee Movie, they're obsessed with the trailers. He'll do funny things with the characters. When he reads stories to them, he does different voices."

He claims his 6 year old daughter is the one with the comedy gene. "All kids like to laugh, but we were in the car the other day and she says, 'Daddy, I really like making people laugh.' She's 6 years old. And I go, 'I know the feeling.' "

Jerry goes on to talk about New York, his wife Jessica, (who just wrote Deceptively Delicious,) and the upcoming Bee Movie. It's definitely an entertaining interview. Enjoy.

Updated! Jessica Seinfeld: Does Oprah Endorse Cheating?

Whit Honea — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 16:00:00 GMT

I was just kidding when I compared Jessica Seinfeld to James Frey , but some people aren't laughing- namely Missy Chase Lapine, the woman that published a cookbook called The Sneaky Chef which is just like Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious, except that it was written first.

Apparently the differences are few and the similarities many- recipes and combinations, even the cover.

Does Jerry know about this? What's next, his Bee Movie was first produced by a fan-site for Honey Nut Cheerios?

And Oprah? What's her role in this?

By the way, Oprah, if you're reading this, I'm working on a book right now that I think you should consider. It's called Rocko and Julie. It's an original story about star-crossed lovers and their family feud. It has swords, poison and light through yonder windows. You'll love it!! Call me.

UPDATE: Jezebel has a great take on Seinfeld and her "defense." I would write about it, but if I copy anything else from them then I really will be endorsed by Oprah.

Jessica Seinfeld Knows the Way to Oprah's Heart is Through Her Feet

Whit Honea — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 17:11:00 GMT

Jessica Seinfeld knows books and bees. Her husband Jerry has the Bee Movie opening soon, after 8 years of commercials and teasers. Jessica has a sneaky little cookbook, Deceptively Delicious. It's good times in the Seinfeld hive.

Jessica has really landed on her feet. Oprah hasn't pimped a book and its author this hard since James Frey.

So how do you thank the richest woman in the world for helping you out? Shoes of course. It's gotta be shoes.

$18,000 worth of shoes to be exact.

Hey, Seinfeld, I'm pimping your book too. I wear a size 12.

Babble Talk: Jessica Seinfeld is a Sneaky Cook

Whit Honea — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 18:38:00 GMT

Jessica Seinfeld was interviewed by Gwynne Watkins for Babble regarding her new book Deceptively Delicious. The wife of Jerry Seinfeld talks about sneaking food that is good for you into food that tastes good. You know, sneaky shit. Those picky kids need to eat something healthy.

For instance, she puts vegetables in brownies. We used to do that to. Pot is a vegetable, right?

I won't even talk about mushrooms on pizza.

Hey, whatever it takes. It's got to be better than gnawing on lead toys or eating aqua dots. I won't even go into bindeez. Whatever happened to good old spinach dip and potato salad? That's like vegetables. Don't kids eat anything besides junk and recalled toys?
