American Jewish comedian Jerry Seinfeld was ordered by the court to pay a Sabbath-observant realtor her fee, which he withheld due to her not having answered her phone on Saturday. The realtor, Tamara Cohen, was unavailable when Seinfeld tried to reach her on a Saturday in February, 2005, according to the New York Post. The comedian and star of the highly successful sitcom bearing his name wanted to see a luxury apartment on 82nd street but could not get in touch with Cohen. Seinfeld’s estate manager had visited the apartment with Cohen in January 2005, when the listing broker for...

gets me,” David Mandel said of his bride, Dr. Rebecca Whitney. And Mr. Mandel, an executive producer of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” on HBO, is not an easy man to get. “I don’t like human beings,” he said, only half in jest. “I’m bothered by real and perceived slights, and I hold grudges for billions of years.” He lives in a dark Los Angeles apartment with blackout shades covering all of the windows to protect his collection of comic books, toy robots and “Star Wars” stormtrooper helmets. He and Dr. Whitney, an athletic pediatrician who grew up on a farm in...

Festivus just isn't the same this year for self-professed "Seinfeld" fanatic Gov. Jim Doyle. In fact, Doyle said he won't be recognizing the made-up holiday after Michael Richards, aka Kramer, unleashed a string of racial slurs at black patrons during a recent comedy club appearance. "Probably like a lot of people, I'm still sorting out my feelings about it all," Doyle said Friday. "It's pretty hard for me to watch the show right now."That says a lot coming from a governor whose aides are known to watch "Seinfeld" reruns in their spare time so they can keep up with Doyle's...

If you've only read about the Michael Richards rant, you don't know just how bad it was. Check out the full and unedited on Youtube (www.youtube.com) and then get back to me. It really was a "racist tirade." And it wasn't so much his use of the "n" word, as it was the depth of the historical ideas and images Richards invoked. After being heckled by audience members (who happened to be black) during a stand up performance, Michael Richards (who played the character of Kramer on the show Seinfeld) started spewing racist epithets. Then he dejectedly walked offstage as...

November 30, 2006 -- THE K-K-Kramer scandal murdered Michael Richards' career - but it's doing wonders for sales of the latest "Seinfeld" DVD. Season 7 of the popular sitcom is outselling the Season 6 set (released on the same day last year) by more than 75 percent, and more than 90 percent over season 5 at some online DVD retailers, according to TMZ.com.

It seems that there really is no such thing as bad press -- even press generated by racist tirades. Sales of season seven of "Seinfeld" are up 75% over season six and 90% over season five -- after one week of sales, according to website DVD Empire. Meanwhile, DeepDiscountDVD.com reports a staggering 178% increase over season six. Sales are up despite Jesse Jackson calling for a boycott. Seasons five and six were released on the same day last year. TMZ's video of Michael Richards' hideous harangue was first seen on November 20 -- one day before season seven was released....

*In the wake of Michael Richards’ racist rant, Rev. Jesse Jackson and a number of black leaders are calling on the entertainment industry – and rappers in particular – to permanently retire its use of the N-word. "We want to give our ancestors a present," Jackson said at a news conference in Los Angeles Monday. "Dignity over degradation." The press conference was arranged in response to the Nov. 17 racial rant from former “Seinfeld” star Michael Richards, who used the N-word several times and made other racist remarks to African American men who allegedly heckled him during his stand-up routine...

Kramer's career in freefall after fresh claims of racism 23.11.06 Outburst: Richards allegedly lashed out at Jews during performance earlier this year, yelling at one audience member: "You're a f***ing Jew The career of actor Michael Richards, famed as Seinfeld's wacky neighbour Kramer, took a further nosedive today as fresh details of his racist comments came to light. Shocking racist rant from Seinfeld sidekick Richards launched a furious rant at two black hecklers during a standup show in Los Angeles last weekend. At the request of pal Jerry Seinfeld, Richards later appeared via satellite on the David Letterman Show to...

RUSH: This Michael Richards thing. What was his name? Kramer on Seinfeld, which was "a show about nothing." You know, it is fascinating. (Actually it's not fascinating. I've got to stop saying that.) I have read a bunch of reviews of Michael Richards and what he did at the comedy club in LA and his "apology" last night on Letterman. While there is a slew of outrage out there, in the entertainment community there is, "Well, we have to understand comedians," and, "You know, comedians can get away with anything if it's funny, and I suspect that what Michael was...

Michael Richards exploded in anger as he performed at a famous L.A. comedy club last Friday, hurling racial epithets that left the crowd gasping, and TMZ has obtained exclusive video of the ugly incident.

Very funny Seinfeld video

I am curious why none of the media covers the most important aspect of the Malvo shootings. If you look at Newspapers on the dates when the shootings are underway you discover something I find quite interesting. The shootings begin to dominate the news the day before the debate on the Iraq war starts and they catch them the day after the declaration of war??? If you ask most people "do you remember the debate about starting the second Iraq war", they will all answer "yes of course". But if you followup with the question "name one point in the...

I recently received a reply to a post that stated: "This should be beneath a "freeper". Sad." So I asked.. what is it that makes a FReeper? My reply (and I will admit was tasteless) was also questioning. It stirred controversy and was removed? Why Moderators? Can you not tell me? Did it not meet with your "FReeper" mentality? According to all posted guidelines it should be listed but no, you chose to delete it. Yes.. I'm the first one IBTZ, I'm sure you'll nick me for speaking up..

An Encino man pleaded guilty to running a recycling scheme straight out of a "Seinfeld" episode - one that bilked California out of $2.5 million, authorities said Wednesday. Errol Segal, 61, president of Active Recycling, trucked more than 50 million cans and bottles into California from neighboring states and Mexico, then falsified records to bill the state for the California Redemption Value. The company also billed the state for more than 10 million bogus bottles. "This is the largest (recycling scheme) my office has done in a long, long time, if ever," Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Garringer said. "We're talking...

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

After reading all of the crap that people have been saying regarding Adult Private Social Clubs, I felt that I had to post an article and give my opinion. I am sick and tired of all the religous groups that are saying that there are drugs, prostitution, minors, non-consenting people, and just immoral people at these clubs! First of all, who do these people think they are to decide what is morally right or wrong for me? I believe that I have a good set of morals. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and...

Many know him from “Seinfeld” as the oddball catalogue publisher whose gibberish and affection for The English Patient added stress to Elaine Benice’s life. Unbeknownst to many, J. Peterman has left the jungles of Burma to support the Republican Party. John O’Hurley, the actor who played the television character, is an open conservative whose views have been known among his colleagues throughout his acting career. O’Hurley addressed students at the 2005 College Republican Convention in Sacramento last month, evoking the eloquent and eccentric humor many know him for. With self-deprecation for both himself and his “Seinfeld” character, O’Hurley filled the...
