Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
We told you recently about the controversy surrounding Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicous cookbook and how some people think it's a lot like another hide-veggies-in-your-kids-food tome, Missy Chase Lapine's The Sneaky Chef. Now hubby Jerry has spoken out on the subject.
He appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman last night, and besides talking about his new movie about bees, he brought up the controversy. Besides telling Letterman that it's ridiculous that his wife would do anything like steal cooking ideas, he also called Lapine a "wacko" and said that you have to look out for people who use three names because they often turn out to be assassins. No word from Lapine yet.
Meanwhile, Slate thinks both cookbooks aren't worth much, but similarities don't equal plagiarism.

Way to let her assert some independence, Jer... do you let her wear pants, as well, or do ya keep her in skirts?
Funny stuff... and more believable than most of the "Seinfeld" episodes!

He gave most of his screen time to Michael Richards so he could respond to the comedy club incident publicly. He was supposed to be plugging his (at the time) new movie and instead left it over to Letterman to interview Richards.
Come on, Jerry. Get it together.

I wouldn’t go see his humorless BEES movie (which is really just a rip-off of the ANTZ movie, done several years ago). I always felt that Jason Alexander really carried Seinfeld all those years.
Jerry has a cruel streak as seen with his remark about Ms. Lapine, but, if you really know Jerry, it’s just par for the course.

Ms. Seinfeld has a NEW book out; it’s called, “The Joy of Cooking with Cinnimon.” Early readings show that the recipes are similar to well-known cookbook, “The Joy of Cooking,” except that cinnimon has been added to every recipe. Jerry Seinfeld has already scheduled for Letterman next week.
Let’s take a quick look at the William Morris agent who brought Jessica Seinfeld to Harper Collins. Her name is Jennifer Rudolph Walsh. Name sound familiar? Probably not. But, she is also the agent of Kaavya Viswanathan who is the Harvard sophomore who was proved to have plagiarised her best selling book.
