Jerry Seinfeld is executive producer of 'The Marriage Ref.'Jerry Seinfeld doesn't mind being called a homewrecker. In fact, the comic and "The Marriage Ref" co-creator replied, "I love it, I love, I love it!" when we asked for his reaction to former contestant Howie Kohlenberg's claims that his appearance on the�show last season led to his divorce.
"When people get upset I enjoy it," Seinfeld told us at the All-Star Comedy Roundtable at the Nantucket Film Festival on Sunday. "That he's having problems, and blaming me, it's all -" Seinfeld paused, then added, "Anything that alleviates the withering, blithering boredom of existence I'm in favor of."� IKohlenberg, 47, a Manhattan cosmetics salesman, reportedly claimed that after he and his now-ex-wife appeared on the show, she became so obsessed with becoming a celebrity that she left him and their son to chase her Hollywood dreams.
In addition to being executive producer of "The Marriage Ref," Seinfeld also appears on the NBC summer series, which returned to the airwaves Sunday night.
FABRIZIO MORETTI wants undivided attention for his girlfriend. A source tells us the the handsome Strokes drummer shushed the crowd at the Swedish Midsummer party at the Yard at Soho Grand on Friday right before his lady Binki Shapiro performed with her new duet partner, former Moldy Peach Adam Green. The Kanon Organic Vodka-sponsored party could have been christened the Swedish Midsummer of Love soiree given the flower crowns that revelers were making with the help of New York City florist Ovando, and the 15-foot Maypole that served as the centerpiece of the dance party that resulted when the Misshapes closed the festivities with a deejay set.
HOUSE MAJORITY Leader Eric Cantor was the headliner at a fund-raiser for Michael Grimm, the GOP Congressman whose district covers Staten island and parts of Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon.� A group of Jewish Republicans that included real estate developers Ben Ashkenazi, who owns the Limelight shopping complex; Edward Mermelstein;� restaurateur Joey Allaham; 5WPR CEO Ronn Torrossian, and others paid $2,500 a head to aid Grimm's 2012 reelection effort. We hear that though under 25 guests attended,� over $100,000 was raised because many who'd purchased tickets got stuck in traffic returning from the Hamptons.
BRIAN WILLIAMS detected a Hamptons-esque theme at this year's Nantucket Film Festival, and he's not okay with it. The "NBC Nightly News" anchor had the crowd at the at the 'Sconset Casino in stitches Saturday night when he moderated the Screenwriters Tribute to filmmaker Paul Haggis and opened by noting that the once-down-to-earth festival now had acquired a sheen of East End glitz. "For starters, the official car when I got involved was a '78 Chrysler LeBaron," said Williams, who's a festival board member. BMW is now a sponsor. Plus, he added, "There are� liquor women. Spokesmodels. It's like a Hamptons ferry has careened through." Bri, it could be worse. The "Jersey Shore" cast could wash up in a toxic slick of hair gel and tanning spray.

WE'D LOVE TO KNOW how Anne Meara responds when she doesn't like someone.� At the "Late Night Storytelling" event at the Nantucket Film Festival on Friday, comic actor Mike O'Malley introduced Meara by telling the crowd at the 'Sconset that when he met the actress earlier in the week and told her he was a longtime fan, she replied, "F*** off."
O'Malley explained that he didn't take the 81-year-old Meara's remark as an insult because in Hollywood, f*** off means -"
"F*** off," Meara interjected.
"Right," O'Malley laughed, then added, "But in true show business fashion we're working together tonight ? you look fabulous."
