It turns out, however, that Seinfeld will not sit idle much longer:

Sources tell PageSix.com that the 53-year-old comedian is in talks for a new series on his old net. The show is being pitched as "just like Curb Your Enthusiasm, but with Jerry, instead of Larry."
The series, which is aiming for a June premiere, will be set in New York and will feature Jerry Seinfeld playing himself in an exaggerated reality.

Using the Curb blueprint as just a launching point, the show will also incorporate elements from those completely racist and unfunny TV Juniors spots that NBC ran ad nauseam prior to Bee Movie's release. (Remember the one where they likened animators to illegal aliens, tackling them at a border fence? That was hilarious!) The result, What Is The Deal, will pit an exasperated Seinfeld against a variety of brown-faced service sector workers, who, as it turns out, really are the valet, after all.

UPDATE: NBC and Seinfeld's people deny the story.

<![CDATA[Homecoming Prank-Victim Tyra Banks Executes Remaining ANTM Hopefuls With Her Telekinetic Powers]]> When it comes to Wednesday's reality television options, ladies night on American Idol isn't the only game in town. The CW featured a ladies night of a different sort as Tyra Banks unleashed the Cycle 10 premiere of America's Next Top Model on an unsuspecting world. (Can it only be Cycle 10? It feels more like 87.)


In case you missed it, there were some differences between this cycle and the nine previous. This time, the girls are in New York, Paulina Porizkova has replaced Twiggy, and well ... that's pretty much it. But what does it matter? We know why you really watch the show: to see Tyra Banks' ego swell up larger than the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. And for that, the above clip certainly delivers in spades. Our only criticism? Shoulda been more pig's blood.
