A cookbook author involved in a lawsuit with Jerry Seinfeld's wife says she wasn't amused by jokes the comedian made last year on late-night television.

In federal court papers for a December hearing, Missy Chase Lapine says her 7-year-old daughter was upset after Seinfeld joked that people with three names James Earl Ray and Mark David Chapman, for instance turned out to be assassins.

Lapine claims Jessica Seinfeld got ideas for the "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook from Lapine's "Sneaky Chef."

The Seinfelds' attorney said Wednesday: "As a comedian, Jerry has a right under the First Amendment to tell jokes. Ms. Lapine, on the other hand, was not joking when she maliciously accused Jessica Seinfeld, who also has young children, of plagiarism, a charge th

Princes William and Harry are expected on the red carpet on Wednesday at the royal world premiere of the latest James Bond movie "Quantum of Solace," which sees Daniel Craig reprise the role of super spy 007.

The film is released in British cinemas on October 31 and hits theatres in the key U.S. market two weeks later on November 14.

French Culture Minister Christine Albanel hailed the 81-year-old former star of the James Bond films as a "legend of the big and small screen."

With his wife, Christina, at his side, Moore said at the Paris award ceremony Tuesday that the Arts and Letters award to him was worth "more than an Oscar."

Moore starred in seven Bond films in the 1970s and 1980s including "Live and Let Die" and "Moonraker."

Taiwan's biggest local box office hit, a love story involving its former colonizer Japan, has been approved for screening in China despite Beijing's skittish view of Tokyo-Taipei relations, the director said on Wednesday.

Chinese authorities, who can censor films that go against government interests, will allow the award-winning "Cape No. 7" to be shown uncut to its huge cinema audiences, he said.

"I was really surprised," director Wei Te-sheng told Reuters. "I hope mainland Chinese audiences can look at a different culture with tolerance."

The film follows two Taiwan people who fall in love with Japanese, one of whom was involved in Taiwan's colonization between 1895 and 1945. Their stories reflect the tight bo
