We're not sure what exactly merits the profile of publicist Ronn Torossian in Sunday's Times; from what we can tell, he's just as self-promoting as expected and loves to talk shit about his peers. He also loves legal messes, as demonstrated when his client Jamie-Lynn DiScalia was insulted by the executive of a casino who had hired the actress for promotional work:

"This is going to blow up tomorrow," Mr. Torossian continued, speaking in the clipped, commanding tones of a general planning a beachhead invasion. "Jamie-Lynn's people are going to sue us. We've got to draft a press release. Here's the tone. Say that we're disappointed she violated the agreement. We wanted to promote her bulimia thing. But can't she have a sense of humor? She hangs out with the Sopranos."

[...] Then Mr. Torossian leaned back in his chair. "That's a killer story," he said. "Am I right?"

For a man who said he was about to be sued, he seemed very upbeat, and maybe for a reason. It gradually became apparent that the casino executive's remarks might not have been accidental or, for that matter, that a lawsuit, if it ever materialized, might not be such a bad thing.

Not "if." The lawsuit did materialize, and Torossian responded. How about some coverage of how he handed that?
Update: Ronn wants you all to know that the Times got it wrong.
