The Hollywood Reporter is one of the two big trade papers in Hollywood, the other being Variety. A while back, The Hollywood Reporter debuted an "Esq." website feeding Hollywood legal news. I loved it. Then it went away in August 2007.
Hooray! THR, Esq. is back, and it's very active.
When they took it away, It was as if some judgment had been made that lawyers aren't the most important cadre of professionals in Hollywood! As if! The lawyers are at the absolute top of the period. Or, at least they are right there after the agents, producers, directors, CSAs, studio executives, actors, accountants, talent managers, DPs, editors, stunt coordinators, grips, gaffers, set decorators, dialog coaches, therapists, plastic surgeons, baristas, and writers. Well, maybe not the writers. Everyone gets more respect than the writers.
At any rate, the new THR, Esq. is fabulous stuff. And they have Pixelization listed in their list of links in the right-hand column. Thanks!
The renewed THR platform is even better than the original. The content is excellent.
For instance, they have a whole category devoted to Marty Singer, whose firm, Lavely & Singer, are the litigators-to-the-stars that write H-town's best nastygrams (a few of which you can find here).
Of course they have a category for the Pellicano scandal, and Lindsay Lohan.
Other good categories are standards and practices, the talent agencies act, and that never-ending font of billable hours: sex-tapes.
I'm glad this is knack. I missed it and never understood why it was mothballed.
