		<title>Pellicano</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Pellicano jury still hasn't come to a decision after its first full week of deliberating. In the meantime, I thought you'd want to see this letter sent by Bert Fields' longtime pal and Greenberg Glusker law partner Bonnie Eskenazi to Arianna Huffington complaining about HuffPo's trial coverage and commentary by Allison Hope Weiner. Eskenazi used to be Fields' [...]]]></description>

		<title>That ICM-Paradigm Feud Is Very Real</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It dates back to last year's ICM-Ed Limato battle when the tenpercentery dumped all over several Limato loyalists at the agency. So let-go ICM talent agent and one-time Limato assistant, Jim Osborne, went to Paradigm. Now Osborne just hired a young guy that ICM fired because he, too, was a Limato accolyte: Matt Eskander, who'll be a covering agent in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Primetime Pilot Panic: Still More News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are more updates: I'm assured that The Inn (FBC/20th Century Fox TV/ Reveille) which was directed by Jason Bateman "is indeed good at FBC, and it screened best." Bruce Helford is gone from the Bernie Mac starrer Starting Under (WBTV/Mohawk), so the Fox comedy now needs a new showrunner. "The pilot stinks, but they want Bernie on air," a [...]]]></description>

		<title>NYT Music Industry Reporter Laid Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've just been told that Jeff Leeds, the Los Angeles-based music industry reporter who was poached by The New York Times from the Los Angeles Times back in 2004, is now a victim of the Gray Lady's ongoing round of layoffs. I feel badly for him because he's always had a good handle on his beat. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paramount Finally Hires New Mouthpiece</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It hasn't been announced yet, but I've confirmed that Patti Röckenwagner has snagged the job as Brad Grey's exec VP of corporate communications for Paramount. She's been VP of  regional communications for Time Warner Cable out here. (Yes, she's married to well-known chef and restaurateur Hans Röckenwagner.) She starts May 19th. Good choice -- though god only knows [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Prediction: Problem-Plagued 'Speed Racer' Distant No. 2 To 'Iron Man'</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last time I saw a studio resort to prayer for a movie opening was Universal for Evan Almighty. And the Box Office Gods didn't make it a hit pic. But now Warner Bros is figuratively on its knees praying for at least a mid-$30 million weekend opening for its kiddie anime Speed Racer  -- already down from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lindsay Lohan Now Hollywood Pariah...</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know that I don't discuss celebrities unless there's a strong Industry news component. And, except for one posting, this has been a Lindsay Lohan-free zone. Well, sources just told me that Lohan has been un-attached from the independent feature The Manson Girls, written and to be directed by Matthew Bright, and produced by Elie [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brad Grey Brings 'Sopranos' David Chase To Paramount To Write/Direct/Produce</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE: Well, this is interesting. I just heard that, in the event a Sopranos movie does happen, it does not have to go to Warner Bros/HBO. So this deal that Brad Grey made today for Paramount with his former Sopranos producing partner David Chase could be even more lucrative than I previously thought. We all knew [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harvey Weinstein vs Nancy Pelosi: ...But Why Not Accept His Offer To Find Funding For Michigan &#038; Florida Dem Primaries?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've just received this statement from Harvey Weinstein's people about today's CNN report that the ardent Hillary Clinton supporter tried to strongarm House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to embrace his effort to finance a re-vote of the Democratic presidential primaries in Florida and Michigan. "While Harvey has the greatest respect for Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker's work on behalf of the country and [...]]]></description>

		<title>End Of Picturehouse Was Predicted; But End Of Warner Independent Not So Much</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone knew for months this was going to happen since it was just a matter of time after New Line was brought under Warner Bros. But the news still means that today is Black Thursday for all those people working at Picturehouse and Warner Independent Pictures. You have my deepest sympathies. Both were viable studios. Picturehouse had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unemployed 'Ugly Betty' Crew Blame Schwarzenegger For Show's NY Move</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's always been repugnant to me that, despite his years in Hollywood, Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger has done less than zero to stop runaway production or enact incentives to lure TV shows and films back to California and even Los Angeles. (Then again, very little that this piss poor political parvenu has done in the job deserves praise, period.) [...]]]></description>
