Seinfeld

NEW YORK (CNN) -- When comedian Jerry Seinfeld goes car-shopping in New York, it attracts attention. Proof came Tuesday when Seinfeld visited a Park Avenue Mercedes dealership. It seems a group of people had gathered across the street to gawk in the windows of a restaurant where over two dozen lawyers and interns had been sickened by food poisoning. But when the crowd spotted Seinfeld, they rushed the dealership, prompting extra police officers to keep order while Seinfeld shopped. He acknowledged his fans with a wave.
ASPEN, Colorado (CNN) -- A plan to replace the tent that shelters world-class musicians as they play at the Aspen Music Festival each summer is meeting resistance from traditionalists who see the tent as a historic treasure. The tent has been a festival fixture since 1964. But now it leaks, and some have complained that acoustics are bad, and closing the side flaps on hot days turns the tent into a sauna.
A plan will be presented to the festival board on Friday that calls for a new tent with a permanent frame, synthetic roof and louvered sides to allow air in but keep the sun out. The estimated cost is $10 million. The opposition says a larger tent will aggravate traffic and parking problems. The project must still win the blessing of the Aspen Historic Preservation Commission.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Joan Lunden's former husband won a unanimous appeals court ruling Tuesday that puts his lawsuit against a supermarket tabloid back on track. Michael Krauss is suing The Globe tabloid for reporting that he had sex with a prostitute while he and Lunden were separated and getting a divorce. Krauss' lawyer says the report is totally false, and that Krauss is "elated" with the decision. Lunden, 46, is the former host of ABC-TV's "Good Morning
America." She and Krauss, a former "GMA" producer, divorced in 1993 after 12 years of marriage.
