a small dose of reality

Perhaps there is someone in Hollywood who is not a lying fraud

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Here's the beauty of being me," says comedian Jerry Seinfeld. "They can't buy me off." Seinfeld, whose "Bee Movie" debuts in theaters on Friday, grins when he tells his off-the-cuff joke, and although the reporters with him laugh, everyone knows he is not joking.

Last month, Forbes.com estimated the annual income of the stand-up comedian and creator of the 1990s smash hit television show "Seinfeld" at $60 million, among the highest on TV.

This was nine years after his show left the air and was based largely on payments for reruns and other products from the program.

The "they" that Seinfeld referred to are Hollywood executives who would salivate at any hint Seinfeld and co-stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards might reunite for a special about "Seinfeld" and cash in on the sure-fire TV event.

But Seinfeld said there is no need to rehash the TV show. He gets more excited about working in new arenas, which is why he ventured into computer animation and "Bee Movie."

This is straight out of one of the episodes.  Unfortunately Wayne Knight is going to face the wrath of the German penal system as a person not as an actor.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A Berlin postal worker who was caught with more than several thousand undelivered letters in his basement has admitted he was overwhelmed by the job but insisted he planned to deliver them soon.

Police recently found 90 boxes of post stacked in his basement. The postal worker, 36, identified as Thomas H., told Bild newspaper Friday he was only temporarily storing the post at his house and friends would help with delivery.

"There were just too much and I couldn't deliver it all by myself," he told the newspaper. Police said some of the letters found had been postmarked as early as April. The postal worker faces disciplinary action.
