NY judge tosses out case against Seinfelds over cook book

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his wife Jessica emerged victorious in a lawsuit that accused them of defamation and plagiarism.

A federal judge tossed out a case brought by cook book author Missy Chase Lapine. She claimed Jessica copied her work into her own book on how to make children’s diets more healthy.

Jerry was accused of defaming Lapine with a “slanderous attack” delivered on national TV on the David Letterman show.

Jessica Seinfeld’s book was titled Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets To Get Your Kids Eating Good Food and was published in 2007 by Harper Collins six months after Lapine’s.

Lapine’s book, meanwhile, was titled The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies For Hiding Healthy Foods In Kids’ Favorite Meals, the lawsuit claimed.
