In reporting an item about William Morris' party at the upfronts a couple of days ago, Page Six finally puts away the long knives and plays nice (sort of) with the agency:
The Morris Agency was said to be in a celebratory mood. Despite losing some agents and clients, the 107-year-old firm says it's having a great year financially, and the bosses deny the rumor first reported here that they're considering selling their valuable Beverly Hills real estate.
Considering that WMA hired Scary Hollywood Lawyer Bert Fields to write the NY Post a strongly-worded letter and raise the legal spectre of a libel suit, is this weak, forced make-nice going to get the job done? We know from token, fake apologies. Fields might have held the gun up to Page Six's head, but he might have to shoot Paula Froelich in the leg before he gets anything sincere out of the paper. But we suppose it's a start that editors excised the item's original ending: "NOT! They're POOR, POOR I TELLS YA! Sarahmichellegellarhalleberrydavewirtschafterprofile wheeeeeeeeemothafucka!"
