In an effort to bring this week to a close as anticlimactic and disappointing as the end of War of the Worlds, we offer some rumors we've heard for you to chatter about over the barbecue this Fourth of July weekend (or as we like to call it, "Id4"):

—When you arrive at work Tuesday morning at ICM, will you find that your place of employment has been purchased by Paradigm?

—What exactly happened at Metropolitan Talent yesterday? Was the agency decimated by firings, walkouts in response to firings, and more firings in response to the walkouts?

—Has Tom Cruise finally (officially) parted ways with (i.e., fired) longtime suppressive producing partner Paula Wagner and moving himself to Warner Bros. or DreamWorks?

—Is this the funniest thing you've seen all week?

Have a good weekend, kids. We'll discuss all of these things with you on Tuesday.
