Idle Chatter: Seinfeld, Kristol, Welch...

-That cookbook author who thought Jessica Seinfeld's kids-food book was too similar to her own has finally sued for copyright infringement -- and defamation. [TSG]

-The reviews are in for neocon scion Bill Kristol's first New York Times op-ed column, and they're not good. [Romenesko]

-Fox News is very concerned that not all famous black people are supporting Barack Obama. Don't they know he's black, too? [Media Matters]

-Remember Suzy Welch, nee Wetlaufer? She's the former Harvard Business Review editor who fell in love with Jack Welch while she was profiling him for the magazine, precipitating his divorce. She just sold an advice book for a seven-figure price. [NYT]

-Alycia Lane, the Philadelphia TV reporter who punched a cop and maybe called her an anti-gay slur, has been fired. [FishbowlNY]

-If you have any lingering curiosity about yesterday's executive shake-up at Conde Nast, WWD has more details. (For those of you keeping score at home, yes, this is a Conde blog linking to a Conde newspaper's story about Conde.) [WWD]. □
