They’re Back (For a Book): The “Seinfeld” cast is regrouping for an encore of sorts, with publisher HarperCollins announcing plans for “SeinOff,” a book about the making of the show’s final episode to be written by Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards. The tome, scheduled to hit stores Oct. 21, will contain more than 150 unpublished photos from the NBC series’ set that were taken at season’s end by Newsweek’s David Hume Kennerly.

Just Like ‘Yesterday’: The unassuming Liverpool house that spawned the birth of Beatlemania was officially named a British national treasure this week. Paul McCartney’s teenage home, where he and John Lennon wrote some of the earliest Beatles hits, was purchased by the government in 1995 and has since been restored to its 1950s state--including linoleum floors, brown wallpaper and spartan furnishings. “This is where the music which touched the lives of millions began,” said Martin Drury, director general of Britain’s National Trust, which spent more than $77,000 on the restoration. The McCartney family lived in the three-bedroom home at 20 Forthlin Road from 1955 to 1964, when Paul, his brother Mike and father Jim moved out in the dead of night to a larger house to escape the daily hordes of screaming Beatles fans. “My mum and dad would have found it very hard to believe that the house is now a National Trust property,” McCartney says in a guidebook preface. “You expect the National Trust to own [palaces] not a little terrace house like this.” The home opens for public tours next Wednesday. Among the items on display will be photographs taken by Mike McCartney showing his brother and John Lennon in the front room, strumming guitars and scribbling the lyrics of “I Saw Her Standing There” in a school notebook.

Keep Away: Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks got a restraining order Tuesday against a mental patient whom sheriff’s deputies say believes the singer is a witch with “spiritual powers” to heal him. Nicks sought the order after a Colorado psychiatric hospital notified her attorney of the pending release of Ronald Anacelteo. The order bars Anacelteo from all venues where Nicks may be working or performing as well as from her L.A. County home.
