...next few months, Seinfeld will be making a brief yet very noticeable return to mass media, a comeback that began four years ago when he had dinner with director Steven Spielberg, a partner in DreamWorks SKG and a neighbor of Seinfeld's in New York's tony Hamptons. The star casually mentioned an idea for an animated movie to Spielberg. "A movie about bees," Seinfeld says he told the director, "called Bee Movie." (As in B movie, get it?) Spielberg then alerted his colleague Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation. This eventually led, in the way of Hollywood, to Seinfeld...
...Seinfeld now playing is a remarkably different star from the one who personified narcissistic baby-boomer bachelorhood throughout the 1990s. Seinfeld is 53 (though he could easily pass for 40), and since the show ended its run, he has acquired a wife, a daughter and two sons. "As a single person, I was always exploring the world," says Seinfeld over lunch one day at the DreamWorks lot in Glendale, Calif., where he's putting the finishing touches on Bee Movie. "Now I've lost some interest in the world. I'm more interested in my wife and kids." After...
...After the release of Bee Movie, Seinfeld plans to return to being a stand-up comic and quasi-stay-at-home dad. Home for Seinfeld (who made a reported $225 million for Seinfeld's syndication alone and appears almost annually on Forbes' list of richest celebrities) is an apartment overlooking Central Park. It's also an estate in the Hamptons, on Long Island, that he purchased for $32 million from Billy Joel in 2000 and a new spread in Telluride, Colo., not far from Tom Cruise's place. He keeps his collection of Porsches (he won't say how many...
...surprising thing about Seinfeld: He actually seems rather nurturing, especially at mealtime. He'll warn you away from a tuna melt at one of his 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...
...finale of Seinfeld, the cast of self-involved characters ended up in jail for nine seasons' worth of selfishness and hilariously brutal indifference to the rest of the world's feelings. At the time, Seinfeld was suffering from too much freedom. "To be honest," he says, "I was kinda lost after the show. I really didn't want to get married, I didn't like being single anymore, and I didn't know what I wanted to do." Whatever he did, it wouldn't be in Hollywood. "I got tired of being treated like a precious little...
