Woody Allen Settles -- Jew Owe Me Five Mil

Sunrise, sunset -- Woody Allen's legal war over a billboard showing him dressed like an orthodox rabbi finally came to a close ... and it only cost $5 mil.

Woody Allen

Woody had demanded ten mil from American Apparel for doctoring an image from "Annie Hall" to make him look like a rabbi for the 2007 ad. But today -- literally minutes before jury selection was set to begin for the trial -- the two sides reached a settlement.

Five mil buys a lot of Manischewitz.

4. Good for the Wood man!!!

You cant just plaster someone's face on the wall and say that they represent your product when they don't.

The system works. And TMZ--why did you get a comment from that big-mouth CEO from the Apparel Company? He was a big talker a few weeks back when he tried to defend putting some that doesnt work for him on his billboard. Lets see how he's talking now---$5,000,000.00 poorer. Owned.

6. They didn't doctor his image to make him look like a rabbi. That was an actual scene from Annie Hall. It won best picture. Maybe you could try--oh, I don't know--actually knowing what you're talking about when you report on something.

11. "Jew Owe Me Five Mil" is an offensively inappropriate headline. Just continue to feed the Jew/Money/Greed mill... classy, TMZ. Taken out of context, as all things are, this is fodder for the myriad anti-semites. Think what you want about Woody, but he rightfully won this case.

14. Mia Farrow should have sued this pervert for having sexual relations with his own adopted daughter then moving her in while underage and marrying her. Woody is a pervert!!!

15. Woody, Soon-Yi and Mia should be on Jerry Springer.
