...notoriously obsessed with cleanliness, JERRY SEINFELD seems to get himself implicated in some pretty messy situations. No longer playing a lovable version of himself on a sitcom, the comedian has been cast in a slightly less endearing role--as the other man in a New York City couple's divorce. Last week Seinfeld was publicly linked with JESSICA SKLAR, 26, who reportedly has not let her four-month-old marriage stand in the way of her dating.

Yet it can also be argued that the opening of those emotional pores brought a more debased culture: drug epidemics, teen pregnancy, splatter movies, penis-size jokes on every sitcom, Marilyn Manson and Monica Lewinsky.
