Rolling to madness

Today's lead story in Daily Variety on the Anthony Pellicano trial includes this nugget:

In another recording, Pellicano tells his client, director John McTiernan, that he was in the middle of wiretapping producer Charles Roven's phone calls and requests more money for having to sit through hours of "boring" phone calls.

"This guy takes up to 10 minutes deciding if he's miffed or not," Pellicano says. "I'm about to scream listening to this dialogue."

Tony babe, as a onetime assistant to a TV exec, I feel your pain. But if you could get a raise for sitting through your boss's boring calls every assistant in town would be driving a Maybach. (D. Cohen)
