Jerry Seinfeld is making a comeback. Insert groan here ________. Thanks. Jerry’s going to be doing another show about nothing, or something close to it. Supposedly it’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” but with Jerry. Which is weird because “Curb Your Enthusiasm” was very much Seinfeld-like but with Larry David, and all the personality quirks and swear words amped up so it was “edgy” and fit for HBO. So essentially these two guys have one idea between them, and they just keep volleying it back and forth. Though we’ve been promised no insane “Bee Movie” promotion, I highly doubt that’ll actually happen, seeing as how yesterday when I was in Midtown Jerry Seinfeld was wandering up and down the sidewalks on 36th Street mumbling “Bee Movie Bee Movie Bee Movie Bee Movie I’m Jerry Seinfeld Bee Movie Bee Movie,” over and over again. But hey, at least this time he wasn’t wearing the costume.

Sources tell PageSix.com that the 53-year-old comedian is in talks for a new series on his old net. The show is being pitched as “just like Curb Your Enthusiasm, but with Jerry, instead of Larry.”

We guess it’s better than a show about nothing!

The series, which is aiming for a June premiere, will be set in New York and will feature Jerry Seinfeld playing himself in an exaggerated reality. The whole thing is a bit confusing for us — if Larry David in Curb was what would have happened had Seinfeld been called Costanza, what happens when Seinfeld goes Curb?

Thank goodness that as we speak, NBC is hiring people to answer these tough questions.

Awesome. Because what America really needs is more of this hack. I used to love Jerry Seinfeld until he got married. Why? Because 1) he first met and seduced his wife Jessica while she was on her honeymoon with her first husband and 2) several years later, said wife blatantly plagiarized a whole cookbook and 3) Seinfeld’s reaction to it was to call the plagiarized author, Missy Chase Lapine, a complete whackjob and make fun of her on Letterman even though Lapine had not made or commented publicly on the plagiarizing claims. What a class act.

In related news, Missy Chase Lapine eventually filed a very well-deserved lawsuit against both the Seinfelds – Jessica for plagiarizing the books, and Jerry for slandering her on Letterman – which the Seinfelds recently tried to have thrown out. Jerry claims that he was exaggerating for comedic effect – and while that was possible true, Lapine had done absolutely nothing to deserve being the victim of his barbs. She had at that point been silent while Jessica Seinfeld stole her ideas and made money off them! Interestingly, Jessica Seinfeld has the same literary agent – Jennifer Rudolph Walsh – as another plagiarizing author, Kaavya Viswanathan. Kind of makes you wonder.

Update by Celebitchy: NBC and Seinfeld’s rep have both denied this report and say there is no show in the works.
