Who Gets What In The Brian And Gigi Grazer Divorce
5:40AM Seth | It’s been a year and four months since we learned of the dissolution of the marriage of Hollywood superproducer Brian Grazer to his screenwriter/author ex-wife, Gigi Levangie. And while the split was by all reports amicable—never once resulting in Grazer turning to his Cultural Attaché 2.0 in a moment of weakness, and uttering the words, “How about bringing me a Nobel laureate who can figure out a way for me to stop haemorrhaging alimony. Huh? Got one of those in your little idea bag, bigshot?”—the divorce proceedings have splayed open the couple’s finances for all the nosy world (that would be you) to see. Details after the jump.

Trade Roundup: Fox Empowering Screenwriters, At Least Until It Figures Out New, Better Way To Screw Them
7:15AM Defamer US Edition | · These screenwriter people are so hot right now! Fox plans to offer the well-regarded members of the Writing Partners collective (including Ted “Pirates” Elliot and Terry “Of the Caribbean” Rossio, John “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” August, and others) a deal where they accept small upfront payments for their original specs in exchange for greater creative control and gross profit participation. It should be fun the first time Fox begs one the newly empowered writers to fire himself in favour of someone who can solve his third-act problems. [Variety] · The Emancipation of Gigi continues apace: Gigi Levangie, the soon-to-be-former Mrs. Brian Grazer, will have her novel Maneater adapted into a Lifetime miniseries that the network hopes will put up numbers similar to the ones generated by her previous collaboration with USA on The Starter Wife. We hope we at least get another fun Wac-a-Mole-style game (Eat-a-Grazer?) out of it. [THR] · The season three premiere of Weeds was the series’ most-watched episode to date, boosting the fortunes of lead-out Californication, which became the highest-rated non-Kirstie-Alley comedy debut in Showtime’s history. [Variety] · Michael “George Michael” Cera, for whom we think virtually ever movie made should create at least a small role, will star in the adaptation of the C.D. Payne novel Youth in Revolt. [THR] · Fox orders seven episodes of Nothing But the Truth, a gameshow in which contestants are hooked up to a lie detector and forced to answer humiliating personal questions as friends and family watch. Also, each detected lie will result in a Japanese man striking the unlucky dissembler in the genitals. [Variety] More »
