New York, NY (CNS) - The plagiarism lawsuit against Jerry Seinfeld's wife has been dismissed. A judge has thrown out the suit filed by another cookbook author against the comedian's wife.
Missy Chase Lapine, author of "The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals," accused Jessica Seinfeld of copying Lapine's recipes for her own cookbook, "Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Getting Your Kids Eating Good Food."
However, a federal New York judge on Thursday dismissed her suit, saying the similarities she identified are the result of similar medium used in cooking. She also noted that Lapine's book is "a dry, rather text-heavy work," while Jessica's is a "bright and cheerful, full of different colors and various patterns."
But the legal battle against Lapine and the Seinfelds doesn't end there. Lapine also sued Jerry of defamation over the remarks he made on David Letterman's late night show in October 2007.
Jerry joked that he was worried about the plaintiff's name because many of the "three-name people do become assassins," citing Mark David Chapman and James Earl Ray as examples.
While she dismissed the plagiarism lawsuit, U.S. District Court Judge Laura Swain refused to rule on the defamation allegation, saying it was for the state courts to decide.
i’ve seen this recipe before....it’s a Ziggy!
Putty has Ziggy bed sheets!
LOL!
If I remember correctly. Seinfeld's wife is an UBER babe.
NO ZIGGY FOR YOU!
Pretty enough.
Sorry, no insult to his wife (who is lovely) but I was thinking of his ex girlfriend. Oops.
It's the summer of George, baby!
Betcha she kicks herself in the @ss every day, LOL!
