‘Crain's’ Introduces Us to Cute New New Yorkers, Reveals Secrets About Others
Like anyone else, we love 40-under-40 lists. Browsing them is like browsing Internet personal ads, except we don't feel embarrassed for the people on them, because they didn't place the ads themselves, and we don't feel as embarrassed for ourselves, because you know, we're not really looking. So, after we got over the searing disappointment of not being on Crain's 40-under-40 list (for some reason they only picked rich, good-looking, successful people!), we enjoyed perusing the video profiles of some of the cute New Yorkers on it. Such as Frédéric de Narp, the CEO of Cartier North America, who gestures with his hands and
appears to be totally not wearing a wedding ringis totally unfortunately married; Robert Hammond, the co-founder of Friends of the High Line, who's so nerdy-cute that we almost forgot how much the publicity surrounding the High Line bugged us; and Pilar Guzman, the editor-in-chief of Cookie, who is so appealing that we almost forgot we hate children! This being what it is, the videos are short on juice, but we did glean a few things.Posted 03/03/08 in Daily Intel : In Other News

Differences of Opinion
While political watchers spent last week looking ahead to primaries in Ohio and Texas, the candidates engaged in a serious debate — over a photo of Barack Obama wearing Somali clothing. (An Obama staffer claimed Hillary Clinton had leaked the shot to make him look Islamic; Clinton’s campaign manager said no one had claimed the photo was “divisive” until Obama and his new friend at the Post played it up.) Latecomer Ralph Nader, unsafe at any speed as far as most liberals are concerned, moseyed into the presidential race. Connecticut senator Christopher Dodd backed Obama; Jersey governor Jon Corzine rushed to aid the Clintons in Cleveland.

The ‘Post’ Has a Giant, Crazy Crush
Okay. We love the Post. We really do. And not even just the ironic way we "loved" it yesterday when a homeless person in a wheelchair was masturbating on the subway while we were on our way to work, and his shoe fell off and nobody on the train even noticed. Like, we actually look forward to the Post every day. But we have to say, there's something a little demented about its Giants coverage. At the beginning of the week, the tabloid devoted its entire cover to a Jessica Simpson look-alike, who they claim distracted Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo into losing Sunday's game (Romo, for those of you lucky enough not to know, is dating the real Simpson and she's been credited with giving him bad luck when she attends games). This one stunt wasn't enough, though. They took the poor girl to New York this week on a victory tour, with an online video on Tuesday and another article on Wednesday. And now today, the paper has another superstitious trick up its sleeve. After reports that the manager of a TV station in Green Bay, Wisconsin, will yank Eli Manning's favorite show, Seinfeld, from the airwaves while the Giants are in town to play the Packers, the Post talked Jerry Seinfeld himself into sending the Giants quarterback a complete DVD set. Seinfeld said he'd also be "dispatching George Costanza to be the new traveling secretary for the Packers." (Those of you who are fans of the show will get the reference.) It's funny coverage, sure, but it's just kind of getting lazy at this point. In fact, one of the "Giants fans" they quoted at the end of the article works for the Post. Come on, guys. Isn't there a brilliant pun headline you could have come up with instead of all of this? Or maybe a Photoshopped picture of Tom Brady's head on McLovin's body?

From the Beginning, Donald Was a One-Namer
Since this summer, the magazine Mental Floss has been running an online feature called "The First Time News Was Fit to Print," in which they look up in the New York Times archives the first instances the Paper of Record mentioned people or items that are famous today (Woody Allen, for example, first appears in 1962 under the headline: "Young Men’s Hebrew Association Presents 2nd Jazz Concert"). Today they ran an all–New York edition, which reveals some gems: • January 28, 1973: The big change in Fred Trump’s operations in recent years is the advent of his son, Donald … Donald, who was graduated first in his class from the Wharton School of Finance of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, joined his father about five years ago. He has what his father calls “drive.” He also possesses, in his father’s judgment, business acumen. “Donald is the smartest person I know,” he remarked admirably. “Everything he touches turns to gold.”

Remembering Seinfeld's Glory Days, on the Kibbutz
Jerry Seinfeld is off promoting his Bee Movie in Israel, and while speaking with reporters in Tel Aviv, he cracked a joke about how he was much better received this time around than when he came to the country to work on a kibbutz when he was 17. "I would be in the fields, and nobody wanted my autograph and nobody wanted to take their picture with me," he said, according to the Associated Press. "They just let me hack away at those banana leaves, and no, I didn't meet the prime minister even once." Oh, Jerry, you're such a G-rated kidder. Of course they wouldn't — hey, wait a minute. Seinfeld worked on a kibbutz? This was news to us. So we ventured out into the wilds of the Internet, only to discover that he's been talking about his days on the farm for years now. Still, we thought the cheap joke was worth a trip down memory lane, so we dug up the relevant section of Jerry Oppenheimer's unauthorized biography of the comedian, Seinfeld: The Making of An American Icon.

Jerry Seinfeld Tortures ‘In Style’; We Rub It In
"Nobody cares about me anymore; I’m old, I’m out of it; it’s over," Jerry Seinfeld told us last night at the premiere of the hotly anticipated Bee Movie. Hahahahaha!! See why he makes the money? He's such a jokester! In reality, dozens of reporters were clamoring for the comedian's attention, including a pretty blonde from In Style "Are there any beauty products you like?" she asked, earnestly. "Beauty products?" Seinfeld said, making a mock-confused face. "You might wait till the women come along for that question," he said. "This isn’t Queer Eye for the Straight Guy!" Ha! In Style looked genuinely confused. "But…" she said, looking sadly at her tape recorder. "Do you have something that you do before you come on the red carpet?" Seinfeld gamely tried to answer. "I like to have my wallet with me," he said. "George Burns’s first rule of show business is always take your wallet onstage with you. Because people backstage seem nice, but you never know." Right? We hear that Renée Zelleweger has sticky fingers. It was perhaps not the answer that In Style expected. She made one final attempt. "How do you feel about plastic surgery?" she asked. "Good!" Seinfeld said. "Really good. As long as it’s not mine. I don’t want to get any." In Style was not amused. "Thanks," she said, and shuffled away. —Ben Kawaller In Style wasn't the only one who had a rough time on the red carpet last night. Click here to read an interview in which New York's Ben Kawallar tanks big-time with Bee Movie directors Simon J. Smith and Steve Hikner.

Cisco Adler Plops Down Near Another Hot Blonde
A-Rod and ur-agent Scott Boras dined at Nello's. Eva Mendes hopped in the wrong limo. New York's First Lady Silda Wall Spitzer told attendees of a More-magazine convention that the best advice she ever got was "either piss or get off the pot." Cisco Adler and Lydia Hearst were cozy at Bungalow 8. Jann Wenner was widely mocked at the 30th reunion party of the Rolling Stone staff from 1977 (everyone gave him the finger in the group photo, and no one drank the Champagne he sent). Joaquin Phoenix hung up on a reporter from Time Out after she asked him what he did to prepare for his roles. Single-again Nick Cannon hung out with a bunch of beauty-pageant queens at Tenjune.

Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld Are a Little Gross
Anderson Cooper talks to his young gay friends about AIDS. Jerry Seinfeld brags about the time Jessica Seinfeld touched a stick covered in urine to his bed pillow. Meanwhile, ex-Seinfeld producer Larry David couldn't be happier he's lost the ball and chain. Liz Smith finds Charlie Sheen more palatable than Denise Richards. Notorious PR pit bull Pat Kingsley has "FINALLY" resigned from PMK-HBH — or is she being "pushed out?" Donald Trump called both Mark Cuban and Dan Rather "losers" in the same day. That is, like, his favorite word.

The Lohans: Reunited and It Feels So Sober
Demi Moore freaked out at the Miss Sixty fashion show when she found out her driver couldn't bring her car around. Kathleen Wiley thinks the Clintons stole a manuscript of her new book, which she says contains information that could damage Hillary's presidential bid. A photo of jet-riding "Money Honey" Maria Bartiromo and husband Jonathan Steinberg in Hamptons magazine happens to be opposite an ad titled, "Planning on Having an Affair?" Liza Minelli will sing the national anthem before the U.S. Open men's final because everyone else will be at the VMAs. Vanessa Hudgins' rep confirmed that the nude photo of her that's making the rounds is authentic. Kim Porter may still love Diddy, exhibited by the fact that she gazed into his eyes at Tenjune.
