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.

18. WFT, Harvey. I've never seen someone (supposedly?) Jewish who has more self loathing than you? You never miss an opportunity, do you? Well, I'm Jewish, cool and proud. So cut the crap with the smarmy little headlines that are meant to demean. Demean celebs all you want. Just don't demean religions.

19. What was the point of that ad in the 1st place? WTF Does that have to do with American Apparel? Talk about trying WAY too hard

20. "... for doctoring an image from "Annie Hall" to make him look like a rabbi..."

The image isn't doctored to make him look like a rabbi, that's an actual screen cap from the film. It's the moment where Woody is at lunch with Diane Keaton's family and he imagines how her grandmother sees him.

21. There may be many reasons to dislike Woody Allen but your headline stinks nevertheless.

22. So what if Woody's a perv? American Apparel is a whole bunch of disgusting pervs who consider making up young women to look like 12 year olds and dressing them in slutty outfits "advertising". They suck and I hope they go out of business...

23. You so right NASTY!!!

He is a true sick-o. The Mia Farrow Bio is a huge eye opener. I thought it was bad enogh until I saw the show! He had strange enough behavior with the younger ones, so bad a judge read him the riot act during their custody battle. He got nothing of what he wanted in court. Really, he got a ass chewing mostly.

He is a pedo-phile with a capital P! Plus, what is wrong with his child wife! What was she thinking on that one. Did they ever have kids, man I hope not, he'll have one right in the house with him if that is the case.

He should have been in jail.

24. Enough with the liberal crap. Man, STILL bitter much?

Wrong is wrong, like Woody is respected in his circle? Come on, could you imagine being this tool, showing up with your daughter/wife at a function? YOU JUST KNOW he gets the looks and whispers from all around him. They are nice to his face, but, behind his back I don't even want to know what they think!

Even Republicanknuckleheads have pedophiles in their mix. But, mostly uuuzzzz guys are just HYPOCRITES who live one way and then preach to me how to live the right way. Ya, know your way.

25. I always look forward to my daily fix of TMZ...but not TODAY. Your headline regarding Woody Allen was offensive to people other than Woody. There is so much bigotry and hatred in this world, today...why add to it?!?

28. WOODY SUED BECAUSE IT WASNT HIM TAKING PICTURES OF 13 YEAR OLD VIET CONG GIRLS...THAT HE COULD ABUSE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF...WHY GIVE THIS PERVERT ANY PUBLICITY..THE ONLY THING I'D LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THIS PEDOPHILE IS THAT HE IS DEAD.

29. American Apparel would try to use a picture of Woody without his authorization or paying him for the use. They use sweat shop tactic approach to citizenship. They applaud amnesty and yet they still utilize cheap exploited labor to stay RICH RICH RICH. Ain't that the American way? Promise amnesty as a reward for coming here to be exploited, how encouraging. I think the cheap smuck owner should have to pay 10 million because not only is he a jerk, cheap ass who wants to look good to the poor illegal but he is like every other BIG BUSINESS PERSON MAKE MILLIONS OFF OF OTHERS. I hope ICE raids his cheap ass and puts him out of business and fines him to boot. I would never pay a dime for his apparel because I only buy from places that help the legal employee not exploit the others.

30. You guys are way overacting "Jew Owe Me" is based on a pun from Annie Hall where Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) sees Antisemitism everywhere. Great movie, you guys should see it.
