In her 'Deadline Hollywood' column today, Nikki Finke reports that New York Times' Hollywood correspondent Bernard Weinraub is stepping down from his post:

After 13 years covering Hollywood, Bernard Weinraub, the veteran New York Times reporter, is calling it quits. He flew to New York and met with his bosses Thursday to tell them he has decided to retire from the newspaper at year s end. On Friday, he sent the Los Angeles bureau an email announcing his plan to "embark on a new adventure."

We can only guess what that 'new adventure' might be, but whatever it is, it's probably gonna be exciting! Maybe he'll become a white water rafting instructor, or run with the bulls? Aww, hell, he'll probably just sell a screenplay to his wife.
