Meet Sir Harvey Weinstein
Harvey Weinstein, Hollywood's job-slashingest studio head, used the occasion of being named an honorary Commander of the British Empire to bitch about his negotiations with Disney to stay with Miramax:
"We have 65 BAFTAs, 75 Oscars, $2 billion in assets and hundreds of millions in profits," said Weinstein after he was presented a cross by British Consul Sir Phillip Thomas at his Manhattan penthouse. "And, still, Michael Eisner won't renew my contract."
But Sir Harvey quickly let his feelings of bitterness towards Eisner fade to properly embrace the spirit of the night, smiling and asking the British Consul how many more employees he'd need to fire before he'd be allowed to meet the Queen.
