Happy Friday and welcome back to The Daily Courant, your afternoon bundle of Puck’s latest reporting.
First up today, Matt Belloni uncovers fresh details in the only-in-Hollywood superagent frenemy feud involving Ari Emanuel and Casey Wasserman. In the wake of a Daily Mail exposé on Casey’s “serial” affairs and Billie Eilish/Finneas taking their lucrative business to WME, it turns out there’s more to the story than run-of-the-mill, opportunistic talent poaching…
Plus, below the fold: Tara Palmeri chronicles the latest Trump campaign turmoil as the principal relocates to Bedminster. Matt evaluates whether Edgar Brofman Jr.’s potential thirteenth-hour Paramount bid could sway the special committee. Lauren Sherman offers her in-depth scouting report on Victoria’s Secret’s mysterious new head honcho. On Fashion People, Lauren and Hagop Kourounian triangulate the relationship between fashion, Hollywood, and its most stylish directors. On The Town, Matt and Brian Raftery debate the legacy of the infamous 2014 Sony hack. And on The Powers That Be, John Ourand and Matt continue their dissection of the Cable-pocalypse, and what the death of linear TV means for the migration of sports to streaming platforms.
