Remember how Heeb rabbinic authority Berel B put American Apparel head Dov Charney up to that billboard (above)? Well, no good joke goes unpunished; Allen is now suing the company for $10 million.

Last week we told you that Hasidic friend-of-Heeb Abe Karpen was spotted on the Brooklyn Bridge with Natalie Portman.

Radar Online’s The Ethnicist asks C. H. Dalton, the author of _A Practical Guide to Racism_, about the idea that Jews are cursed with curly, unmanageable red locks. According to Dalton, this is "one of the most unquestioned and most insidious anti-Semitic stereotypes" (really?) and can be traced back to the low, low price of...

At his NYC New Year’s Eve party, Kid Rock jokingly “asked reporter Shira Levine to marry him.”:http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/01/kid_rock_loves_new_york_jews.html He loves the Jews! Why? “They just fucking got 50-caliber fucking guns in Israel. They don’t give a fuck. They’ll unload on anybody. ‘Fuck with us?
