JUST JACK

An interior designer who claimed Will & Grace based the flamboyantly gay character of Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes) on him but failed to give him credit, has settled his lawsuit with one of the show's writers. Jack Deamer claimed that longtime pal and W&G producer Max Mutchnick reneged on a promise to buy him a house and car if the sitcom became a hit. (Yep, that's our Jack.) The amount of the settlement was not disclosed.
