...favorite restaurants because it has too much garlic, and he'll make sure you don't miss the bread pudding at the DreamWorks commissary. He visibly softens when you mention Michael Richards, the Seinfeld co-star who got into trouble last year by going on a racist rant in a comedy club. "He's a dear, sweet guy," says Seinfeld. "But he just got too angry." Seinfeld, who's generally easygoing, admits that he too can be moody. "There is a thing about comedians," he says. "They are cranky-all of them. If you're not cranky...

The Venezuelan government said it had no idea how the cans got there; state television even interviewed a pro-Chavez artist who bizarrely suggested that the tuna cans were, in fact, a "racist" statement inciting support for the invasion of Iraq. That was too much for the show's moderator, who replied that they were actually no more than tuna cans. Still, this would hardly be the first time free food has come in pro-Chavez packaging.
