George Costanzo
Played by Jason Alexander
in Seinfeld
Following on from last weeks Frank Burns is Seinfeld's George Costanza, another character lacking in nobility, Elaine (Julia Louis Dreyfuss) described him as a "short, stocky, slow-witted, bald man" and described as "Lord of the Idiots" by himself. He is very neurotic and self dominated.
Friends with Jerry Seinfeld (the character) since their middle school years. Episode plots frequently feature George manufacturing elaborate deceptions at work or in his relationships to gain or maintain some sort of small or imagined advantage. His relationships with women are always unsuccessful. His most disastrous was his engagement to Susan Ross, one of the few that ends "well" for George; he fears marriage and Susan's unexpected death saves him from the commitment and he was somewhat to blame for her by skimping on the cost of envelopes (watch the series if you don't know what I mean!)
Often desribed as dumb by his friends he is also considered an expert liar, and as often talked his way out of extraordinary situations (considered a useful skill by his friends).
George is primarily based upon co-creator Larry David and many of George's predicaments were based on the real life experiences of David. For example, when George quits his job in fury, he realizes his actions were a mistakes, he goes back to work the next day as if nothing happened, mirroring David's actions while working as a writer on Saturday Night Live.
George appeared in all but one of the Seinfeld episodes (season three's The Pen) and he goes down as one of the greatest television characters in history for his perfect self loathing and nuerosis.

Trouble actress Lindsay Lohan will serve one day in jail and perform 10 days of community service. She pleaded guilty to two of the seven misdemeanor charges against her. She had been charged with driving under the influence and being under the influence of cocaine in relation to two drunk-driving arrests in Beverly Hills.
Nicole Richie is free after serving 80 minutes of a four-day sentence in prison. The pregnant socialite/reality TV star was booked, released and sent home within the 80 minute time period. In a press release, the sheriff's spokesman writes, "At this time, the criteria for a female arrestee sentenced to 30-days or less for a non-violent offense is as follows: the arrestee is booked, screened and usually released within 12 hours. This procedure is based on jail overcrowding to manage population levels mandated by Federal Court guidelines. Based on the mandated guidelines and Ms. Richie's 96 hours sentence, she will be treated in the same manner as other inmates with a similar sentence." 
BILL MURRAY ARRESTED FOR DRUNK DRIVING IN A GOLF CART
The next night or sometime later, I forget, Cristal and her boyfriend Kyle MacLachlan (whose the manager at the Stardust, the place where the Goddess show ) visit the Cheetah Club...
Tangent:
Did Kyle MacLachlan fire his agent around 1995?, he really should of, if been the male star of Showgirls wasn’t bad enough, the previous year he played the baddie in The Flintstones movie. He was in Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks. David Lynch loved casting him not 10 years previously and these where the best films coming his way at the time.
Cristal pays Nomi to give Kyle MacLachlan a lapdance while she watches, Cristal watches them. This means Cristal is bisexual or something.
Skipping stuff, Nomi eventually gets a job at the show, not before being asked to put ice on her nipples. Nomi eventually pushes Cristal (you go girl) down a flight of stars, injuring her badly and sending her to hospital. Noami ends ups getting the lead and there’s a sex scene with Kyle MacLachlan that’ll get to later. Then you have to watch the film to see what happens.
The sex scene in the swimming pool between Berkeley and MacLachlan is comedicly funny. Berkeley must have been harpooned by accident during the filming as she struggles around like a dying dolphin, I still enjoyed it my teen years however.
Showgirls was once called the worst movie ever made which is perhaps unfair, the movie is a lot of fun and in more recent years as become something of a cult movie.
There is a V.I.P. Edition box-set available on R1 which features a couple of shotglasses, a naked poster, dirty playing cards and suction nipple tassles. But what geek would want to own that?
As promised after a long hiatus, probably get the next couple up within a few days while I write this. Anyways let's get quickly onto Disc 2 in the same format.
