Jerry Seinfeld revealed during a radio interview with Steve Somers what he thinks of Lady Gaga’s behavior at Shea Stadium.  “She’s a jerk,” he said.  And he doesn’t understand how giving the finger gets you upgraded to better seats.  Specifically, his seats.  Furthermore, Seinfeld takes issue with the middle-finger use altogether, saying it’s not only an out-dated form of expression, but it’s also only two fingers away from the thumbs-up, which doesn’t make much sense.  He also said that all publicity is not necessarily good publicity and, “you could die of exposure.”  Well, there you have it.  Next time you act like an asshole, I think it’s best to take the box of someone a little less well-known and comedically crafty.  All I had to lead with was the A-word.  He’s definitely better at this game.  If you want to hear his full interview, click the link below.  You have to fast forward to the very end though to hear the Gaga talk.

Seinfeld Interview

The New York Post reports that Bon Jovi fired his longtime manager, Jack Rovner, after Rovner’s many mistakes.  First, he promised a band meet-and-greet to the fans that paid extra for tickets, which never happened.  Second, he granted NBC exclusive access to the band, which meant they couldn’t appear on other networks to promote their new album, ‘The Circle.’  And finally, Jon wasn’t too happy with his portrayal in the Showtime documentary, ‘When We Were Beautiful’.  Jon responded to the Page Six article by denying the details, and merely said that the parting was due to simply moving in “different directions.”  I have to give Jon credit.  If you are going to fire your manager (allegedly, of course), the least you could do is release a statement that the parting was an amicable one.  No need to tarnish the guy’s name in the press.  That’s not to say that Page Six is the mecca of truth.  Actually . . . aren’t they?

Movieline reports that ‘Project Runway’ will extend its episode time to 90 minutes, and I can’t fathom how this is possible, given that they can barely fill the 60 minutes with original content.  Personally, I’ve been a loyal fan of the show all along, but the last few seasons have gone seriously downhill.  My biggest complaint surrounds the creatively devoid challenges, which used to produce the greatness that was Austin Scarlett’s corn dress from Season 1.  Now, they lazily get any celebrity they can find and say, “designers, you’re challenge is to dress this star!” [Insert contrived yelps here].  My eyes almost rolled out of my head when they had to dress Heidi Klum.  I’m aware that she is a famous supermodel, but how much brain power went into that production decision?  “Gee, let’s walk five steps over to Heidi and ask her if she’s up for this.”  Or what about the many visits to Michael Kors showroom?  He’s a judge on the show, for goodness sakes!  His contract can’t possibly have that much self-promotion built into it.  My final complaint involves the best reality star in television history – Tim Gunn.  Tim Gunn is the number one draw of the show, and the editors severely chop up his one-on-one conversations with the designers.  The extended critique can be seen online later, but when you put your best content online instead of on television, you have a problem.  As Tim Gunn would say, this decision “worries me.”
