The Wrap: Jay Penske fires Nikki Finke from Deadline Hollywood. Bye bye Nikki. helmetz Jun 02, 18:54

LOL! Wow! {nm} thatpj Jun 02, 19:00

Im sure that last piece blasting Variety for that Sharon Stone satire didnt help even if it wasnt written by her {nm} notfabio Jun 02, 19:03

That Hollywood & Swine crap belongs on Movieline, nt Variety. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 21:31

Wow, I didn't realize Movieline has been shut down and turned into a Youtube channel. No wonder. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 21:33

Probably a mistake. She can just start up a new site. Just drop us a link here, Nikki {nm} Oleg Max Jun 02, 19:07

Who'll be the first person to say "TOLDJA!" {nm} helmetz Jun 02, 19:17

Good riddance to Nikki. She tried to tear down the industry {nm} skamanfu Jun 02, 19:25

SFEK. That paid her overhead. haven't visited her site in almost a year. {nm} skamanfu Jun 02, 19:26

And I'm sure greenwest42 or whatever the name is will be shilling her new site soon. {nm} skamanfu Jun 02, 19:27

I have only visited DL for Mike's and Nellie's articles... been a long time since I read anything written by Finke {nm} RazorHawk Jun 02, 19:29

SFEK? {nm} KalElFan Jun 03, 00:26

SFEK = stupid effin enter key {nm} skamanfu Jun 03, 01:17

"Twitter is live snarking the firing of Nikki Finke" RazorHawk Jun 02, 19:32

Hmmn. From Kris Tapley: "Penske emailing Waxman now to tell her the story isn't true. Wouldn't be shocked at all if she ****ed it up." {nm} helmetz Jun 02, 19:44

HOLY CRAP! {nm} Moviesnob Jun 02, 19:45

Somebody buy that man a drink! {nm} Jelly Jun 02, 19:47

it has been reported that he has had a drinking problem... buying him a drink might not be a good idea RazorHawk Jun 02, 19:59

Well, then, nevermind! {nm} Jelly Jun 03, 03:06

Funny in an ironic sort of way {nm} thatpj Jun 02, 20:04

Joe Pesci wants to know exactly what kind of 'funny' that is. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jun 02, 21:12

AWESOME! WORHTLESS AND MALICIOUS! LOVE IT! {nm} Moviesnob Jun 02, 20:20

Why isn't it written by Nikki? It wouldn't be surprising if Finke has been put on leave until her contract runs out. {nm} Antibody Jun 02, 20:57

Those cheques from Nikki have always come in handy. Most unfortunate if that was the last of them. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Jun 02, 21:11

Fake! Anyone actually read the article? elchan Jun 02, 22:54

Threatening lawsuit is SOP. Read between the lines, the obligation to Finke is a contract that is up for renewal. {nm} Antibody Jun 03, 10:05

Interesting article from the LA Times. They theorize she may be leaving as opposed to being fired (link) JDolphin Jun 02, 23:14

IMO this one's the most believable report of the bunch - each side setting up a fired/quit scenario. The Wrap may even have been used. {nm} KalElFan Jun 03, 00:30
