The Battle Over Project Runway Heats Up | Today's News: Our Take | 7/18/2008
When Harvey Weinstein and Co. surprised Bravo by snipping its ties with the net and taking their fierce reality hit Project Runway to Lifetime for its sixth season, we figured things would get ugly. Yesterday in New York State Supreme Court, Weinstein and Jeff Zucker, president of NBC Universal (Bravo's parent company) proved us right by exchanging harsh words and accusations.According to a story in Ad Week, Zucker says Weinstein promised him the right of first refusal, a chance to match an offer from another net. Weinstein vehemently denied this, saying, "I'd rather cut off my arm than give them a right of first refusal." Zucker testified that that there had also been discussions about possibly moving the show from Bravo to USA or even NBC, but Weinstein said that "They kicked me out in 10 minutes" when it came time to talk about such a move.What a fashionably ferocious war of words. One thing's for sure — neither side is likely to mend this torn relationship anytime soon.... read more

George Clooney Recruits All-star Mediation Team | WGA Post-Strike Watch: News About Returning Shows | 1/11/2008
He's robbed millions from Sin City vaults, so who's to say he can't solve the unsolvable? George Clooney is assembling a "mediation panel," composed of several Hollywood heavy hitters, which would set out to get the WGA strike resolved once and for all. As reported by Nikke Finke's DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com, Clooney plans to ask Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and John Wells ("a controversial ex-WGA president"), as well as three or four producer-sympathetic bigwigs, to join this strike-striking squad.While pitching the idea in a phone call to Harvey Weinstein (who is also onboard), Clooney is said to have suggested that the panel lock all involved parties in a room and then tell each side as each term is negotiated, "You have to live with this and get over it."What's your take? Just so much posturing by a well-intentioned movie star?
