TMZ Investigates George Costanza's Mysterious Hair Restoration
In their biggest scoop since learning that Matthew Fox was detained for punching a vagina, TMZ has broken open the story of Jason Alexander's mysterious hair restoration. Is this a massive betrayal of the bald community? Does this count as a hate crime? Let's all keep some perspective here: as Larry David, official spokesman and poet emeritus of the bald, so eloquently put it in an interview with Huffington Post, it's hard out there for a bald brother, so cut him some slack: "Most actors don't let themselves get bald. They get transplants or weaves or something. When's the last time you saw a bald president? There'll be a woman and a Jewish president and maybe even a Muslim president before a bald president."
Video: Help A White Person, Support Netflix Relief Fund
With every good thing, there comes a grave price: just as Netflix has started showing Mad Men, so too have they drastically and unjustly raised their prices. Tears are falling on Macbook Pros and Pier One pillows as we type—now, how will white people get to watch every movie where Jason Statham plays a hitman? Thankfully, the Netflix Relief Fund is here to help. Watch below:
No Kavorka Here: Kramer Goes Unhinged
This is almost as uncomfortable as a scenario from Curb Your Enthusiasm! TMZ.com has footage of Michael Richards, aka the actor who played Cosmo Kramer, going crazy at two black audience members who were heckling him at a comedy club. From TMZ:
The camera started rolling just as Richards began his attack, screaming at one of the men, "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass."more ›

Move Over, Cris Judd
Some are saying this was a stunt to get back at Justin Timberlake, so we guess cheating on him wasn't enough. We say Britney is in need of a 12 step program – maybe not alcohol 12 step but publicity 12 step. And we're making a mental note that if we ever find ourselves in Vegas, we need to befriend someone, like Palms owner George Maloof, who is buddies with a judge and can get our drunken marriage annuled tout de suite.
Britney Spears: The Marrying Kind
Of course, Uncle Grambo at Whatevs.org has detailed thoughts on the marriage, including a link to the wedding license. He also notes the George Costanza connection, in spite of the media's attempt to cover it up by naming the groom's full name, "Jason Allen Alexander."
Didya Ever Notice...
It almost seems fitting that greed would screw over production of Seinfeld DVDs. The NY Times reports that Jason Alexander, Julia Louis–Dreyfus, and Michael Richards have refused to participate in "Making of" featurettes for the upcoming Seinfeld DVD because they've been unhappy with their profit particpation from syndication; Alexander, Louis–Dreyfus and Richards have only been receiving $100,000 year since the show ended. The "Making of" and any other interviews would have made a Seinfeld DVD package, the first of which is expected in December 2004, more compelling to buyers, considering Seinfeld runs a few times each day in syndication, which makes the $100,000 seem very small, especially considering the many millions Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, co creators, make. But greed and self–preservation was a signature of the Seinfeld gang; we just don't if we should expect to see Alexander or Louis–Dreyfus on Curb Your Enthusiasm this upcoming season (starting on January 5, 2004).
