Pig Face Mm, pork may be delicious, but is it a wrinkle fighter? The FDA has approved a new porcine collagen filler that is said to last longer than old skool collagen derived from bovines (question: WTF are these people putting in their faces? The entire contents of a butcher shop?). Dermatologists are all abuzz about the filler's potential but also concerned about its appeal to people who keep kosher. Wonder what these rabbis would have to say about the development? [W Magazine]

Eat Me Do you like bacon? Do you like bras? You're gonna love the bacon bra. No idea why it exists, but, as one commenter notes, "So not kosher." Waffle panties and syrup slip to come? [WOW]

The Sneaky Chef author Missy Chase Lapine, hot on the heels of having just sued Jessica Seinfeld over the striking similarities between her own book and Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious, has just inked a deal to do yet another installation in her series. Lapine's latest book is to feature even more ways to hide fruits and vegetables in your children's food. Seriously, how many tomes does this warrant? How many ways could there possibly be to trick your kids? When we were kids there was only one way to eat veggies: Steamed plain, fresh on our plates, and with lots of hemming and hawing.

The Seinfelds have had un petit tiff! Jessica, it seems, has other talents other than, um, steaming, pureeing, and self-promoting: She also can't stop talking. On Barbara Walters' Sirius radio show, Jessica admitted that she hated Jerry making Bee Movie because it meant too many hours away from her and the kids, and that it will be his last foray into feature film ever. All of this is unfortunate because Jerry apparently is in talks with several studios about several projects and had explicitly asked his wife to not discuss his career, ever, with the media.

Will the shameless promotion of Jessica Seinfeld by her husband ever cease? In addition to insisting on his wife's utter genius as a chef and author Jerry Seinfeld has now taken to proclaiming the little missus worthy of a sitcom. Says Seinfeld, "I guess if I did another sitcom it would be about marriage. I'd just call it Mrs Seinfeld." [News.com.au]

Jessica Seinfeld was on the The View today, and in between bites of "deceptively delicious" food, Barbara Walters asked Seinfeld to elaborate a little on the scandal surrounding her cookbook Deceptively Delicious. Jessica Seinfeld: "I can understand why [Missy Chase Lapine, author of The Sneaky Chef] would've been upset. When you have a huge success, people tend to look for the cracks, anything that would break you down a little bit... She did a book with a similar topic earlier, and it must have been hard for her to see how quickly my book took off... Never as a person would I do something like what I was accused of doing [plagarism]. I mean, I really didn't need to do this book." Barbara Walters: "Well, this isn't exactly a family that would have needed this to feed themselves." Jessica Seinfeld: "Well, yeah". [The View]

Kate Middleton Says Goodbye To That Rag Trade

  • Prince William's girlfriend Kate Middleton has quit her job as a buyer for British chain Jigsaw. The Brits think this means there's an engagement on the horizon! We think, uh, Middleton probably realized that, um, once you have dated Prince William your connections can probably land you a job in an industry slightly less ridiculous and soul-deadening than fashion? [Vogue UK]
  • Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour went to meet with NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg yesterday. When asked by the press what they met about his staffers answered, "to convince the mayor to wear Brooks Brothers suits." Clever!
    So you mean it wasn't because she has some radical new plan for fixing the ailing public school system? [New York Daily News]
  • And speaking of our public schools, manufacturing a $62,000 Guerlain lipstick = not gonna help things! [Sassybella]
  • Model Helena Christensen is a DJ, or anyway she's "done it like 10 times" and "justs sit[s] with all [her] CDs and thinks about what [she] want[s] to listen to." Yup, that pretty much makes you a DJ these days! But is she as pretty as Leigh Lezark? [Fashion Week Daily]

If You Care About The Seinfelds, You're In Luck

Is it time to feel bad for Jessica Seinfeld? We don't know why she was the subject of a story in yesterday's New York Times, and whether or not she cheated on her first husband with Jerry and whether or not she lied about this when it first happened eight years ago. Hiding spinach in brownies is stupid and giving Oprah Winfrey 21 pairs of Louboutins when Oprah has more money than God and the Seinfelds have almost as much money as Oprah is disgusting and gratuitous. But why is it news that when Jessica married Jerry eight years ago, she basically left her newlywed first husband (Eric Nederlander) to run away with Jerry, thus making it seem like she and Jerry had started up while she was still with Nederlander? Do you even care? More »

Not only is Jessica Seinfeld a possible plagiarist, she's also a possible pusher. MediaPost wonders if "Mrs. Moneybags is pushing a gateway brownie," because toddlers who grow up "with their brownies spiked with spinach grow up with an affinity in their later years for the kind of brownies that come with stronger roots — like seeds and stems." Just think about that next time you're trying to slip little Grayson and Chloe some illicit kale. [MediaPost]

Writer Mimi Sheraton (the first female chief food critic at The New York Times) has taken on Jessica Seinfeld's bestselling book Deceptively Delicious. Says Sheraton of the controversy on the similarities between Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious and Missy Chase Lapine's The Sneaky Chef: "I say: a plague on both their houses. Both propose a culinary scheme that is, basically, totally stupid, to say nothing of dishonest... With the dangerous rise of childhood obesity and diabetes, do we really want to encourage the eating of sugars and starches... As to the nutritional worth of such cooked and recooked vegetables, in miniscule amounts, [NYU nutrition expert Dr. Marion Nestle] first chuckled wildly and then answered, 'All you can do is laugh.'" Welcome to the club! [Slate]

Jessica Seinfeld: The New James Frey? Or Kaavya Viswanathan?

More trouble in Oprah-author land! The talk show host's new bestselling BFF, Jessica Seinfeld, is being questioned over her guru guide on healthy eating for kids,Deceptively Delicious. Today's New York Times and Wall Street Journal report that Ms. Seinfeld's book bears an uncanny resemblance to a cookbook already out on the market, The Sneaky Chef. Sneaky Chef author Missy Chase Lapine, who initially struggled to find a publisher for her book (published this past April), tells the Times that she's "uncomfortable [that] those unusual combinations that I thought would brand me as a lunatic showed up [in Seinfeld's book], too." Adds her publisher, Perseus' David Steinberger: "We agree that the books appear to be very similar in many ways." More »

Famous spouse/foodie/smug married Jessica Seinfeld is back on Oprah today. Husband Jerry is is Oprah's legit guest, but of course Jessica is there alongside him. Not only will Oprah not shut up about Jessica's new book and how much she loves it, but Oprah relates that, as a thank you for having her on the show last week, Jessica sent her a note that read, "There are no words" and accompanied a gift of 21 pairs Louboutins. Yup, really, there are no words, except a few choice expletives we'll be keeping to ourselves.

Jessica Seinfeld's "Deceptively Delicious": Kinda Deceptive, Not So Delicious

We were wary when we first saw Jessica "Mrs. Jerry" Seinfeld on Oprah last week, heralding the benefits of steaming and pureeing the shit out of vegetables and then "hiding" them in kid-friendly foods so that kids will stop throwing temper tantrums at the dinner table and actually eat their vegetables. Because if you steam and puree the shit out of a vegetable, does it have any nutritious value left in it? Especially when it's hidden in a brownie? We turned to Sarah Sliwa, a graduate student at Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy and all-around sassy chick, to help us unravel Seinfeld's "deception" and its potential for any and all deliciousness.

In the tepid throes of veganism, a friend of mine once tried to tell me that avocados were the same as cheese. I like avocado and I like cheese, but the two are not equivalent. Apparently, one man's bullshit is another's inspiration: Jessica Seinfeld has anchored her new cookbook Deceptively Delicious in precisely this school of culinary trickery: Broccoli puree and flaxmeal-coated chicken nuggets. Beet puree enriches chocolate cake. Spinach and chocolate get it on. Gross.
