Pixar Animation Studios ended negotiations with Disney to renew a distribution deal that made blockbusters like "Toy Story" and "Finding Nemo."
Pixar, the animation house founded by Apple Computer's Steve Jobs, said it would go look for another studio to distribute its films.
How cool is that?!
Shares of both companies fell 6 percent after the news broke.
Maybe Disney can rehire all the animators they booted? Doubt it...
Donald Trump, star of the TV reality show "The Apprentice," has a new book coming out.
Random House will publish "How to Get Rich".
And how much is he getting paid for the book?
A source close to the negotiations said Trump was receiving "a lot more than a million dollars." Trump himself said his deal is "the equivalent of getting half a floor at 40 Wall Street."
There is a huge bidding war going on now for the movie rights for that book.
Luke Wilson is our new Woody Allen.
Just as in "Sleeper", the actor will star in Mike Judge's comedy "3001," playing a man who goes to sleep only to wake up 1,000 years in the future.
"3001" centers on Joe Bowers (Wilson), an average American who is selected for a top-secret hibernation program that finds him waking up and living among a society 10 centuries in the future. He finds that civilization is so dumbed-down that he is the most intelligent person alive.
Almost like, "Futurama", you say...?
Judge, the man behind "Beavis and Butt-head", "King of the Hill", "Office Space" co-wrote the script and will serve as a producer.
Wilson next stars alongside his brother Owen in "Around the World in 80 Days."
I saw the, "Starsky and Hutch" trailer last night...
Hip-hop actor Mos Def, Zooey Deschanel and Martin Freeman are mooching a ride in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a big-screen adaptation of the cult hit novel by Douglas Adams. One of my favorite books/radioshows... Now will they ruin that?
I received an e-mail from the restaurant Frontier Wok, Too asking where I've been... You know you hang out at a place too long when they worry about you when you get out of your rut. I need to go visit.
I had lunch today listening to the sales department for KFI, Fox Sports, Clear Channel... I tried talking about Indie 103.1 and Entravision, but there were only smiles. I don't know what that meant.
I need a broadcast radio gig to cheer me up and kick start my career again here in Los Angeles.
