NY POST...PAGE 6 MIRAMAX chief Harvey Weinstein and his wife Eve have called it quits. In response to a PAGE SIX inquiry, a spokesman released this statement: "After 18 years of marriage, Harvey Weinstein and Eve Chilton Weinstein have amicably separated and have entered into an Agreement of Separation which resolves all marital issues. The couple shall continue to co-parent their three children, and will remain the best of friends. They consider these matters to be private, and there will be no further comment." Eve, a tall blond beauty who could have been one of Alfred Hitchcock's leading ladies, was Harvey's assistant in the early days of Miramax. Weinstein — a workaholic who puts in 18-hour days — purportedly promised Eve last year he'd cut down and spend more time on the home front. But then the war with Disney chairman Michael Eisner began. Harvey and his brother Bob, Miramax's co-chairman, have fought with Eisner over their compensation and how much to spend on making movies. Miramax is having to lay off 90 people, nearly 20 percent of its workforce, because Disney won't increase its annual budget. "The Weinsteins have already blown through this year's allocation and the fiscal year doesn't end until September," said one source. "In past years Disney was flexible, but this year, not." While Miramax for the first time grossed $1 billion this year in worldwide box office, Disney has tanked with such big-budget bombs as "The Alamo," "Hidalgo" and "Around the World in 80 Days." The buzz on "King Arthur" is very bad — "It's a medieval 'Alamo,' " an insider scoffed. The Weinstein brothers' contracts with Disney expire next year, and it's likely that Disney will either cut them loose to pursue other opportunities, or allow them to buy back the company they founded and named after their parents, Miriam and Max. The fluid situation has put a great deal of stress on Harvey. Moreover, he's been working hard on "Fahrenheit 9/11" which Miramax financed but then was forbidden by Disney to distribute. The Michael Moore Bush-bashing film was sold to the Weinsteins as individuals, and they've been very involved in its marketing and distribution. "Harvey has never worked as hard as he has in the past year," said one insider. "He's married to his work."

" It has just never won anyone a political debate. But go right ahead. I have no problem with gossip for gossip sake. I only take issue when it masquerades as political debate, which seems to be the main thrust of the anti-Moore talk. I wish it were focused on issues, not his weight."
Moore, Moore is that YOU? Guess the fat point is hitting a nerve eh. oink!
Actually, it is a forum for grassroots conservatism. Nearly every thread ends up belonging in chat, but have fun.
Ah yes, more intelligent debate. Would it make you feel better if I were fat?

Tomatoe - tomato (rolls eyes)
Politcally correct nazi's/ Thought Police are what the liberal left uses to control and stifle the masses.

You are good
" Ah yes, more intelligent debate. Would it make you feel better if I were fat?

Maybe you are, so. Better look into that with your local physician.
We can do better than that. Having said that, "just for fun", I guess its ok. It allows a person to vent steam. There has been plenty of substantive criticism of Moore here in other threads. I think the main thing about him is that he is reflexively anti-American, and intellectually dishonest... but I guess its funner to call him a fat pig.. who knows..
" Nice comments, took you how many posts to bring in Nazis?
You are good "
Okay I was wrong....
You're not Moore, you're Harvey FATSO Weinstein. Instead of licking your wounds on this board try licking some diet pills.
I don't even mind the fun threads, it is just that they all turn into that. People seem to think they are adding something substantive when they say, "he's fat" for the 500th time.
" I think the main thing about him is that he is reflexively anti-American, and intellectually dishonest... but I guess its funner to call him a fat pig.."
Correct, it's always fun to call bloated dishonest
anti-Americans who obtain wealth via the spoils of war exactly what they are, opportunistic FAT PIGS!
Happy now?
It would make me feel better if you were a little more intelligent and informed. You have not done your homework.
Meanwhile, back on topic, Eve Weinstein knew what she was getting when she married Harvey 18 years ago. It's unfortunate that their marriage is ending but, people don't change overnight other than for emotional/biological illness. Harvey was probably "married to his work" when he took Eve as his second wife.
Eve and the kids the Weinsteins had are paying the price for poor decisions made nearly 2 decades ago. The only good thing about this is that Harvey can afford it and Eve and the kids won't end up as another single-parent statistic.
They do, everyone that participates on this board gives something of themselves if you'd bother to look down your nose and see. Your as much an elite snob as Kerry.
Yeah, everyone gets a big pat on their back. By the way, look up the word substantive, and then let me know how saying MM is fat adds to the discourse.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I wanna see what Eve looks like. Sounds like a potential target for Bill Clinton or John Kerry.
