Fancast: dish 'n dat

Stop the presses. Jessica Seinfeld didn’t run out on her first marriage two days after returning from her honeymoon to be with her famous comedian husband Jerry. Nor did she commit “vegetable plagiarism” in preparing her new bestselling cookbook. According to a New York Times profile that attempts to set the record straight on how Jerry's wife came to be Jerry's wife as well as what that entails, she’d already broken up with first husband Eric Nederlander when she was approached by Jerry at a gym in 1998. She revealed as much to Jerry while watching him tape a comedy special two nights later. “I told him I didn’t think this was the right time for me to be involved with anybody,” she said. “I told him the story and he looked at me with such compassion and said, ‘Give me a hug.’ I barely know this person and all he has is compassion for how much pain I was in.” Seinfeld dismissed criticism of her cookbook “Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food” by describing a year spent baking and pureeing in the kitchen. What else is learned about life at chez Seinfeld? Besides running her Baby Buggy charity, she arranges playdates in the Hamptons with Ali Wentworth (Mrs. George Stephanopoulos), takes surfing lessons, and is friends with famous fashion designers who make gowns for her. Oh, she's also unfairly portrayed in the press. “I understand that there’s nothing more satisfying to a journalist than to take someone like me who appears to have had an easy life and appears to have now hit the jackpot. Journalists get a lot of pleasure making me or someone in a situation like mine seem like god-awful people, and that’s always been the assumption about me."
