She is claiming infringement against Jessica and defamation against Jerry. I think it is rather curious that she did not make a claim against Jessica’s publisher HarperCollins. Harper is the known link between Lapine and Seinfeld – Harper reviewed and rejected Lapine’s Sneaky Chef manuscript and then published Seinfeld’s Deceptively Delicious. I would think Lapine would have a tough time prevailing on her infringement claim without Harper as a defendant if all she has to rely on against Seinfeld are some similar recipes that are not truly original to either author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-2491767245418180092007-10-31T22:52:00.000+00:002007-10-31T22:52:00.000+00:00I was disgusted to see Jerry Seinfeld slander that...I was disgusted to see Jerry Seinfeld slander that poor woman, Ms. Lapine, on Letterman. I’ll bet Jessica told him to go salvage her reputation or else. His diatribe was outright slander, and I think that this may show WHAT JERRY IS REALLY LIKE.<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>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.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-77946539037648640972007-10-31T14:35:00.000+00:002007-10-31T14:35:00.000+00:00The Seinfeld saga continues:http://news.yahoo.com/...The Seinfeld saga continues:<BR/><BR/>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071031/ap_en_ce/people_jessica_seinfeldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
