Word is from a friend of mine who works at HBO -- well, really a friend of a friend -- the whole Michael Richards freak-out: it's a plotline in the coming season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I told her, I don't know. Him appearing on the Jessie Jackson show and all. She said her friend wouldn't tell her anything else. If true, I wonder if it was planned out in advance, or picked up after the fact. It is the only thing that makes any sense. Michael Richards out-borats Borat. Which is why I think ultimately it's bullshit.
