If Clear was right, that means Nora and Tim are going to be killed by pigeons!
Not that we’re bitter that the VNU Business Media backed Hollywood Reporter has jumped into the entertainment law foray only months after we have with The Hollywood Reporter, Esq. but now that they’ve actually broken a story, we are forced to source them, which is a bit like the local diner rushing out to Applebee’s and re-appropriating their bacon-and-cheese smothered mashed potatoes to their own customers.
Anyway, as reported by THRESQ, Nicollette Sheridan (better known as Slutty Spice on “Desperate Housewives”) has been sued by her former manager, Rob Lee, for $500,000 in commissions he says he is owed for rejuvenating her career. Lee is alleging that Sheridan broke their 2004 oral agreement, which provided for 10 percent of Sheridan’s gross earnings. The former manager claims that he was responsible for getting her the role of Edie Britt on “Housewives,” telling her that she either had to go forward with a call back, “or else she would need to find a new manager.”
Hey, guess what, Bub? It looks like she found herself a new manager. And, while I don’t know a lot about motivational techniques, I do know that whenever I’ve suggested to ex-girlfriends that either they make me dinner and watch the entire Final Destination series with me or “find a new boyfriend,” I’ve often found my stuff on the lawn the next morning after spending a night alone watching 7 hours of nubile teenagers get their heads lopped off. And you don’t see me asking for 10 percent of that engagement ring her new boyfriend bought her, now do you?
