I Wanna Be, Jerry's Girl! Since I never shut up about what a whore Jessica Seinfeld seems to be, I thought it only fair to post "her side of the story," which she gave to a Times reporter recently. Not surprisingly, her version of events only makes her come across worse than she's already perceived. (NYT)
