E! Host Giuliana Rancic Sues WMA For Daring to Employ Other Clients

There are certain universal truths about Hollywood agents: namely, that they never pick up your phone calls, deal with you mostly through their assistants, and always seem to be finding work for people who aren’t you. Sadly, E! bobblehead Giuliana Rancic (who we last saw announcing the death of “Brad Redfro” while dressed in a somber tube top) has failed to grasp that last tenet — in fact, she’s suing her agents at William Morris for having the audacity to focus on anyone but her. Says Page Six:

Rancic, who hosts E! News with Ryan Seacrest, is suing her former agency for “breach of contract and fiduciary duty,” according to her lawyer, Lavely & Singer bulldog Paul Sorrell. “They put the interests of other clients they had ahead of hers,” Sorrell said. “It was a major conflict of interest, so she fired them.”

Now that the Dam of Obviousness has been breached, we expect lawsuits against WMA any minute on the grounds that “they exist,” “they take ten percent commission,” and “they’re mean.” We’ve contacted William Morris for comment, though we’ve been assured “they’ll get back to you soon, they’re just at lunch — I mean, ‘really swamped right now.’”
