Comedian Jerry Seinfeld called controversial yet highly successful musical artist Lady GaGa a “jerk” on New York radio Monday.  GaGa sat in Jerry’s box at the New York Mets game over the weekend after flipping photographers off from her front row seat.

Perhaps GaGa or her people should have asked Kramer’s BFF first:

“This woman is a jerk. I hate her,” Seinfeld said during a WFAN radio interview on Monday, perhaps . “I can’t believe they put her in my box, which I paid for.”

The aging Seinfeld didn’t stop there as he continued to blast GaGa for using all means of publicity and exposure to further her current popularity.

“I don’t know what these young people think or how they promote their careers,” Seinfeld said. “I’m older, I’m 56. I look at Lady Gaga the way Keith Hernandez watches these kids when they pull the pocket out, they wear the inside-out pocket. … Do you think he understands that? He can’t understand that. That’s a new game, that’s kids.”

He added, “I’m not one of these all-publicity-is-good people. People talk about you need exposure — you could die of exposure.”

I hate to agree with the old man, but I tend to agree with  him on most of his rant about GaGa’s exposure and over-exposure.  Part of it is the world we live in today – the competition is that tough, along with the countless distractions and devices fawning for our attention and coin.  I am old school though, in the thought, that if you are talented and can sing or perform then you don’t have to always do more and more to shock the public into paying attention to you.
