Picky reader

[Bonnie Taylor-Blake]

>From yesterday's *New York Times*:

"Jessica Seinfeld, the comedian Jerry Seinfeld's wife, has a hot best seller
with 'Deceptively Delicious,' a cookbook for parents of picky eaters."

"[T]he comedian Jerry Seinfeld's wife" instead of "wife of comedian Jerry
Seinfeld"? Really?

The former leaves a bad taste in my ears.  What am I not getting?
