Sunday's LAT tells us Disney's apparent answer to Harvey Weinstein's recent threats to leave Miramax to head another studio: See ya! We like your brother Bob better. They'd prefer to let Harvey hit the bricks and keep Bob running Dimension Films. Says a Merrill Lynch analyst, "From Disney's perspective, it's a great compromise. Having one Weinstein is better than having none."

It's Shaq and Kobe all over again! Except, you know, fatter and Jewish. For those of you who don't understand the sports reference, here's another way to think about it: Disney's a pimp that only has the resources to continue "turning out" one of two whores in the stable—and they're choosing the homely one that's willing to hit the streets every night and do anything (Scream, Scary Movie, Spy Kids) over the high-priced escort that only gets out of bed twice a year to blow a couple of Oscar-winners.
