Jerry Seinfeld Calls Lady Gaga a Jerk
In a bashing the
New York Post deems a joke,
Jerry Seinfeld called out
Lady Gaga for her recent appearances at New York Yankees and Mets games -- she flipped dual middle fingers unrepentantly at one game, and showed up in
skimpy lingerie for both.
"This woman is a jerk. I hate her," Seinfeld said on WFAN radio Monday night, although he conceded she is talented. "I don't know why she's doing this stuff. I don't know what these young people think or how they promote their careers. I'm not one of these all-publicity-is-good people. People talk about you need exposure -- you could die of exposure."
Seinfeld told
WFAN host Steve Somers he's had enough of Lady Gaga, but that he wishes her the best -- though he was quick to tack on, "You take one 'A' off of that and you've got 'gag.'"
"You give people the finger and you get upgraded? Is that the world we're living in now?"
The comedian was referring, of course, to
the Mets incident: Gaga, wearing only a jacket and a studded leather bikini, appeared at Citi Field in the middle of the game, claimed her terrific seats and exploded when photographers paid too much attention to her. She subsequently upgraded to box seats -- box seats owned by longtime Mets fan Jerry Seinfeld -- where she proffered profane gestures for the paparazzi (pictured at left).
"Why is she giving the finger? How old is the finger? How'd it even get to be the finger?" Seinfeld riffed. While we haven't heard the audio interview,
that bit reads like the NBC star's signature style ... so
maybe it was all a joke? But "I hate her" and "she's a jerk" ring pretty harsh no matter how you slice 'em.

I can't believe that there are actually some people here siding with Lady Gag-Me. We are truly in some serious trouble as a society!

I'm not even a Lady Gaga fan, but I think I'm sensing a bit of jealousy here on Jerry Seinfeld's behalf. It must be hard when you get older and aren't at the center of attention anymore. But face it, Jerry: you're a has-been, you have had your heyday in the 90s, and now it's a younger generation's time to be in the spotlight. Were you disgusted by Elton John in the 70s, Madonna in the 90s, or Marilyn Manson in the 90s? Or what about all those Rappers with their raunchy music videos? Why not rant about them? Sorry, but this just screams "cranky old man" at me.

I guess she wears all that crap because she is so ugly that she doesn't want people looking at her face

She does have a great deal of talent. But it just goes out the window and is overshadowed by her behavior.

Jerry who????

Jerry Seinfield the voice of reason, Please the man is so big in his own head that he thinks he can talk about her. CAN U SAY JEALOUS.

My guess is that in todays world.. it was probably a colaborative effort, Seinfeld talks to Ga Ga at a party or wherever and say hey, fling the bird at the Mets game in Ga Ga style and im going to give you some flack, the publicty will be great for both of us. For her.. the negative publicity is great, as bad publicity is still publicity, and for Jerry it might make him relivant again.

Lori..... Lady Gaga "trailer trash?" You're being much too kind.

Good for u Jerry Sienfeld i dont think ur very funny as others do but i do agree with you here she is a jerk... im 29yrs old and i dont see what the appeal is with her? please shes awful! get a life and get some cloths on....

Lady Gaga sucks, her music is terrible, and her fans are bored morons!!!

What is he talking about? He made a career out of being a jerk. Where does he get off being so holier than thou? That said, I think he's on target here. Once she gets corrupted, the goddess of her own religion hasn't got a prayer in hell of saving herself. At a murky, seedy club, cop a feel and flip the bird, but not at a family venue. Though everyone's entitled to a bad day, two in a row in full frontal exposure on national tv? Now that's bad. Fame, as she herself has said, is a monster, and she's out to prove it. Shame. She was so nice. I still love her music though.

What is sad is that this world is so desensitized to vulgarity that they applaud it. No matter whether it is gaga madonna or seinfeld...they all use profanity and vulgarity to promote their careers.
