Simpson to write a tell-all book has been fired for making anti-Semitic comments.  Judith Regan supposedly lamented to a lawyer that there was a “Jewish cabal” against her in the publishing community.  Regan’s lawyer has called the allegations “completely untrue,” adding that his client “has NEVER had an anti-Semitic bone in her body.  Pro-Semitic bones?  Sure.  Tons.  Especially after a couple of apple-tinis.”
