    The strike is over and our hosts are back to work. But as soon as they get settled in, they'll be returning with a new post-strike incarnation of United Hollywood Live. Details to come.

  • Nikki Finke is Clairvoyant -- or Maybe the Playbook is Just Too Obvious

    For the last few days, many of us have been feeling that the AMPTP was getting ready to "sucker punch" us. The hiring of an attack dog PR firm (known as the "Masters of Disaster") made it pretty obvious that the congloms didn't intend to settle, and they planned on making things ugly.

    Well, the other shoe sure dropped on that one.

    United Hollywood has been in touch with both WGA insiders and Nikki Finke today regarding the truth here. Some UH contributors are now convinced that the group is very real, numbers approximately

    Attention all SAG Actors:

    I believe it's appropriate at this time to call all actors into action in support of the Writer's Guild on strike.
    I know many of us have been walking the picket lines and attending the rallies, but I want to challenge ALL SAG members to see if they can commit an HOUR-A-DAY to walking the picket lines.
    The AMPTP has been jerking the Writer's Guild around.
    1. They offered nothing but insulting Roll-Backs to the WGA in the negotiations that caused the strike.

  • Is the WGA Close to a Deal with UA?

    Nikki Finke and the New York Post are reporting that the WGA is close to finalizing a deal with United Artists which would allow its members to work on projects for the studio. This would mark the first major movie studio to come to terms with the Guild.

    The agreement with Tom Cruise's and Paula Wagner's UA, a division of MGM, is said to be similar to the on the WGA made with David Letterman's

  • Word of the Day: Collusion

    col-lu-sion [kuh-loo-zhuhn]

    secret agreement or cooperation between two or more parties for a fraudulent, illegal, or deceitful purpose

    The New York Times reported that David Letterman is pursuing an interim agreement with the WGA that would allow his late-night talk show back on the air, even if the strike is still ongoing. As the Times article linked above states, "that could potentially put Mr. Letterman at an enormous advantage over most of his late-night colleagues."

  • Two Sides to Every Story: The Truth...and Everything Else

    As the strike continues and things heat up around the DGA negotiations, apparently the multi-national media mega-corps and their $100K a month crisis management flaks are ramping up their online psy-ops and misinformation campaigns.

    Deadline Hollywood Daily, in a post detailing a range of less than savory actions taken by AMPTP members against WGA supporters, reported that "AMPTP staffers,
