"If I DID HIT it?"
It's turning out that this dust-up was a lot more nasty than anyone realized at first. How long till we find out exactly what it was Her Highness actually said on the phone Friday...???
Via Drudge...
Another piglet in publishing bites the dust..
Give her time. She will resurface somewhere...
Aw it's nothing. Just a hormonal meltdown. She'll find someone else who will put up with her for a while.
As I pointed out in another thread, the OJ thing ended up costing the company $3.5 million on an advance and heaven only knows what in the publicity campaign that generated the backlash. That may not have gotten her fired but it certainly didn't make her popular.
Distasteful as Regan is, she was practically the only publisher of conservative books in the mainstream publishing industry. Indeed, her success with those books led other liberal publishers to think about establishing niche imprints for conservative books.
That may be one reason why HarperCollins CEO Friedman, who apparently hated her, got her fired. I expect Regan will soon be back, more powerful than ever. But maybe in films, not books.
Regan also screwed up with the book about gay ex-NJ Gov McSleazy that bombed bigtime----and is now at 10,000 or so on Amazon. McGay's tome turns out to be one huge lie piled on lie.
Jimbo calculated there was money to be made with his "struggles as a closet homosexual." and he outed himself as a self-anointed "victim" when he resigned, claiming he had "just discovered he was a gay American."
McG's homosexuality was accompanied by his monumental lack of judgement.... and for criminally undermining national security with an unqualified HomeLand goofball named Golan Cipel.
Typical that Judith Regan never got Jimbo to detail Cipel's absconding to Israel, one step ahead of the law. Regan should have inserted a chapter on how much Jimmy scammed from New Jersey taxpayers to get Cipel to shut up.
I think Regan also presided over the book by the alleged ex-alcoholic that was so filled with lies that Oprah demanded an apology from both the author and the publisher. If not Regan, then some other publishing bigwigette.
Does anyone know whether OJ had to return his advance? And whether he received the entire amount? Usually, advances are partly paid upon acceptance of ms with the rest due upon publication. Was the book published and then recalled? Or not published at all?
How long before she does a Murdock tell all
Off with her head!!
A book on Mantle; the man before he died mea culpa'ed to all so many times in print and verbally for his failings. Let him be; what more is there; is any member of his family involved in this??
Isn't it quite curious lately that every time a conservative has a "problem", that the first thing they do is launch into some anti-semetic rant? It seems that the media wants to paint all conservative as closet anti-semetics.
