Jerry Seinfeld Cheats Death

Apr 3, 2008 Author: YourCelebrityStuff | Filed under: Jerry Seinfeld

Funnyman Jerry Seinfeld cheated death in the Hamptons when the brakes on his vintage Fiat failed and the car flipped over, police said yesterday.

Miraculously, the comic walked away “without a scratch,” wife Jessica told The Post.

“He was a little shocked when he walked in and it started to dawn on him what happened,” she said. “I was extremely relieved and grateful and I’m feeling very lucky that nothing happened.”

“It could have been a lot worse, obviously, and thank God it wasn’t. He’s fine,” she said.

The dramatic accident occurred at 7:40 p.m. Saturday on Skimhampton Road in East Hampton, said East Hampton Police Chief Todd Sarris.

Seinfeld was alone in the vehicle, driving north toward Montauk Highway.

“The brakes went bad,” Sarris said. But Jerry kept his head.

“He had to pull the emergency brake,” which Sarris said still failed to halt the two-door vehicle as it headed into traffic on the highway.

Seinfeld then cut the wheel to the right and “the car rolled over” and stopped yards from the intersection - just short of other vehicles.

The 1967 Fiat BTM rolled onto the passenger side, then the roof, and finally came to rest on the driver’s side.

“His actions probably avoided a very serious accident,” Sarris said. “I think he was a little shaken up, with justification.”

Police rushed to the scene, but the comic did not require medical attention.

The accident was chalked up to mechanical failure. Seinfeld had not been drinking and no summonses were issued, Sarris said.

A friend following Seinfeld in another car drove him to his nearby East Hampton mansion.

The banged-up car, which was dented on all sides as well as its roof, was towed to a local garage and later back to Seinfeld’s estate, sources said.

Jerry brushed off the whole thing.

“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 is not something I plan to make a habit of.”

Jerry & Jessica Seinfeld Fight Plagiarism Charges

Feb 26, 2008 Author: YourCelebrityStuff | Filed under: Jerry Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld says he was only kidding when he called a cookbook author a “wacko celebrity stalker.”

The comedian made the jab at Missy Chase Lapine last fall on the Late Show With David Letterman after Lapine had accused Seinfeld’s wife, Jessica, of plagiarizing her idea for a cookbook.

(Lapine released The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids’ Favorite Meals in April. Jessica Seinfeld’s Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food hit shelves in October.)

But in papers filed Friday, the Seinfelds’ lawyers dismissed Lapine’s plagiarism allegations, stating, “The idea of sneaking healthy foods into a child’s diet is not original to your author.”

They also slammed her slander and defamation claims, saying that the comedian’s “wacko” insults were “overstatements of opinion for comic effect.”
