Harvey Weinstein, Punching Bag
Miramax despot Harvey Weinstein needs to hire some writers, lest he become the bitch of anyone willing to offer a sound bite to a gossip columnist:
Weinstein on Damon Dash "snatching his bitch" at Cannes and calling him a "bitch": “Damon’s a first-class talent, and I thoroughly enjoy our good-natured trash-talking,” he said through his publicist.
Weinstein on Russell Crowe dissing his clumsy overtures to get the actor cast in Cinderella Man: "Good trash talking is at the core of this strong friendship I share with Russell...Yes, I did chase him down and as you will see from 'Cinderella Man,' it was worth it."
Has the new, slimmer Weinstein, a man on the verge of his Disney divorce, become a total pussy? We remember a time when Harvey would've responded to such public cheek by threatening to eat Crowe's baby. After these humiliations, Weinstein's going to have to bludgeon someone from Miramax's awards publicity team to death with one of The Aviator's technical Oscars at the Vanity Fair party to get his cred back.
