...colleague Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation. This eventually led, in the way of Hollywood, to Seinfeld's co-writing, co-producing, starring in and overseeing the film, which opens on Nov. 2, with Seinfeld as a young bee named Barry who ventures out of the hive, becomes sweet on a human florist (voiced by Renée Zellweger) and ends up suing the human race for exploiting bees for their honey. And soon Seinfeld will return to his old sitcom home, NBC, in comedic vignettes about the making of Bee Movie. (Though the shorts are designed to promote...
...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.

There might be a whole garden of potatoes in a medley of temperatures and textures, dusted with crunchy malt "soil" and served on a hot stone from the potato...

The connection between terroir and table just reached a whole new level. Forget caviar and Kobe beef and ruined designer shoes. Real luxury is being able to walk among 50 red Danish dairy cows on a farm that boasts a prehistoric altar...
...article, entitled "The Sweet Death of Karol Wojtyla" (using the Pope's birth name) appears in the latest edition of Micromega, a highbrow Italian bi-monthly that has frequently criticized the Vatican's stance on bioethics. The author, who heads the anesthesiology and intensive care therapy school at the University of Ferrara, says she decided to revisit the events around John Paul's death after the Vatican took a hard line in a controversy last year in Italy over euthanasia. Indeed her accusations are grave, questioning the Catholic Church's strictly traditional stances on medical ethics, including the dictum from...
