Hollywood talent agent Ed Limato—who represented stars such as Steve Martin, Mel Gibson, Robert Downey Jr., and Denzel Washington during a 44 year career—died in his home today. He was 73 years old.

Then she goes on to describe the somber occasion, chronicling agent Ed Limato's drink-tossing fight with Page Six columnist Richard Johnson, stylists Philip Bloch's comments about Queen Latifah's dress ("It was eh. Just eh."), and Adrian Brody's fake tan.
