On Monday night Amber, Victoria and Everything S.O.S. (yes, the Queen Diva Bee is back!) and I BUZZED over to Chicago’s AMC River East movie theater to listen to Jerry Seinfeld speak and show clips from his new flick “Bee Movie”. I hate to be a BUZZkill here, but we were not too impressed. With Seinfeld that is.

“The Chicago Sun-Times” published an ad over the weekend for the event, which cited that movie-goers with the best looking bee-inspired outfits would win items autographed by Seinfeld and other talents involved with the film. So we of course took the time to find the best queen diva bee outfits and as it turned out only one other woman dressed up. (The event had a poor turnout - the theater wasn’t even half full!) So we thought we’d be a shoe in for the autographed items, but it turned out that no one got a lousy thing for their bee efforts!

When Seinfeld arrived we realized who the real QUEEN DIVA BEE was.

First of all, as your highness entered the theater one of his handlers flipped out on a couple of fans who were patiently waiting outside for Seinfeld’s autograph. The scary handler scolded the fan and said that if they did not return to their seat, they’d BEE kicked out. Meanwhile, Seinfeld did not even flinch.

Seinfeld did not sign autographs or take photos with anyone at the event. However, the worst part were some of the statements that he made.

He began his little speech by saying that he really did not want to be there as he referenced his casual outfit: jeans and a blazer. Nice.

Then he poked jokes at the only other woman dressed bee-ish. He called her unusual and strategically moved away from where she sat. (It was obviously a joke, but I thought it was kind of mean. Good comedians shouldn’t have to resort to making fun of an audience member to make people laugh!)

He may have been too cool for school Monday night, but I found some evidence of a more Beelicious Seinfeld at an another “Bee Movie” event.

Anyway, during the Q and A session, someone asked Seinfeld if he could give us his best bee sound and he refused to give us a buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! WTF! Talk about a Debbie Downer!

OK but my favorite part is when he was talking about why New York City was chosen for the setting of the movie. He said something along the lines of how “we” New Yorkers live in such small and confined spaces that it’s like a bee hive.

Uhhhhhhhhhh are you kidding me? That was the funniest thing Seinfeld said all night! Have you seen a picture of his house???

Ladies & Gentleman, I give you Jerry Seinfeld’s small and confined BEE HIVE! Ha!!!
