  • Complete Seinfeld DVD Set... Yada, Yada, Yada... $284 | Today's News: Our Take | 8/22/2007
    On Nov. 6, as the final batch of Seinfeld arrives on DVD, so will a boxed set boasting all nine seasons. Seinfeld: The Complete Series delivers 180 episodes on 32 discs, all for a suggested list price of $283.95 — not that there's anything wrong with that. After all, the set includes a 226-page coffee-table book filled with photos, quotes, trivia and personal reflections from Jerry Seinfeld, a compilation previously only shared by him with his cast mates. The book, in turn, contains a DVD featuring a roundtable discussion between Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards and series creator Larry David, the first reunion of its kind for the group, held on the ninth anniversary of the May 1998 finale. Among the plethora of DVD extras — 104 hours in bonus features, peeps! — is a reedit of "The Betrayal," the famous "backwards" episode, this time going forward. Not included in all this: a marble rye. Still, that's a whole lotta nothing! read more
  • Mel Gibson Feels Slurring Seinfelder's Pain | Today's News: Our Take | 11/30/2006
    Mel Gibson, recently vilified himself for spouting racial slurs, identifies and sympathizes with Seinfeld's Michael Richards, whose epithet-laden rant landed him in his own pot of hot water. (I know, shocker, right?) "I feel really badly for the guy," Gibson tells Entertainment Weekly. "He was obviously in a state of stress. You don't need to be inebriated to be bent out of shape. But my heart went out to the guy." Speaking of ridicule and inebriation.... read more
  • Jesse Jackson Begs Celebs to Nix N-Word | Today's News: Our Take | 11/28/2006
    A day after having sullied Seinfeld vet Michael Richards on his syndicated radio program, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and other African-American leaders called on the entertainment industry — rappers included — to cease using the racial slur repeatedly uttered during Richards' on-stage tirade. "We want to give our ancestors a present: dignity over degradation," Jackson said at a Monday news conference, contending that the N-word is "unprotected" by free-speech issues. (The N, however, is, so keep on with your sapphic selves, Ashley and Spencer!) read more
  • Richards Rant Has Jamie Foxx Fired Up | Today's News: Our Take | 11/22/2006
    Speaking to Extra at Tuesday's American Music Awards, Oscar (and freshly crowned AMA) winner Jamie Foxx said that had he been in the audience for Michael Richards' now-infamous comedy act/racist diatribe, he would have been primed to channel, say, Ali, as opposed to Ray Charles. "He would've had to put his dukes up," Foxx shared, adding, "[Michael] probably should go get a private island somewhere, 'cause if I see him...!" What, you'll make him watch Stealth? The inhumanity. read more
