Deadline Hollywood Drama
It isn't often that the New York Times ventures into the world of Hollywood gossip, so it took me by surprise to read this article about the people who report Hollywood gossip.
Nikke Finke was the owner (and creator) of Deadline Hollywood, a pretty mean spirited Hollywood gossip site that is feared and read by everyone in Hollywood. A few years ago she sold it to media entrepeneur Jay Penske, who later also bought Variety. It's apparently been a pretty bumpy ride.
Nikki's sad.
I'm sure the Hollywood stars she has humiliated over the years feel really bad for her.
