Jerry And Jessica Seinfeld Facing A Plagiarism Lawsuit

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his wife Jessica were sued on Monday over her top-selling cookbook for kids (Deceptively Delicious)by a rival author who complained of plagiarism and accused the star of defaming her on TV host David Letterman's show. (- Reuters)

Talk about defending your woman. Jerry was on David Letterman back in October and spoke very unkindly of the other author Missy Chase Lapine (who from what I read is an accredited nutrional expert),... whose book was out months before the Seinfeld's book. Jerry falsely states they came out the same time. He called her a "Wacko" and makes many not so nice comments. Check it out on youtube! Tune in at about 4:50



I share the same view as DAVE.... it amazes me that these people think that sneaking veggies in food is a NEW concept. I have no less then 5 toddler books which speak of doing the same things. Not to mention the gazillion magazine and online articles (pre book war even) and heaven forbid common sense. GROW UP PEOPLE! So no I do not really feel there is a case for plagiarism. However, I think Ms. Lapine may very well have a case for defamation of character. Even if she is a wacko... making some one you comedy material and calling them names doesn't seem the mature way to handle the situation... Letterman himself acknowledges this point by suggestion the possibility of further upheaval. All in all I think there can be little doubt that this is more about publicity than plagarism.
