Paramount boss Brad Grey was mentioned rather unflatteringly during the ongoing Pellicano trial today. It came during a witness-prosecutor catechism of wire tape summaries intended to establish that they were derived from illegal wiretaps. 
Here's the evidentiary quote from one of the summaries prepared by would-be private investigator Tarita Virtue who worked for Pellicano and whose job included listening to wiretapped recordings: "Greg [Bo Zenga's lawyer] says that everyone who see this [Zenga's Scary Movie lawsuit] is going to say that Brad Gray is a fucking criminal and should be locked up." Virtue told Chad Hummel, representing ex-LAPD Sgt Mark Arneson, that she didn't know if Grey, then a well known manager who is now the head of Paramount, or a third party, had directly hired the Hollywood private investigator.
(From LA Weekly's Steven Mikulan who is also covering the Pellicano trial for DHD.)
Now that Paramount is in negotiations to do a remake of Rosemary’s Baby, will Brad Grey take credit for it too?

Bob Evans has already taken that credit Charlie, again.
