Overheard in Hollywood

Say what?

I recently put out a post asking for correspondents, and who knew, but people actually responded.  I guess people other than my mother really do read this site.

Before I go on to discuss our story of the day, I just wanted to make another plug.  If you've got something to say or have a fun story to share about your life in Hollywood, feel free to send it to TempX@tempdiaries.com or submit it via the the submission box in the left column.  Of course, everything is confidential, anonymous and I promise not to tell anyone.

I'll happily post it because it means I can take the day off.  And now, on with today's post courtesy of one of my fans.

One of our big name clients finished filming a movie a few months ago for a mega-producer. He has since moved on and is now filming his (picked up) pilot. 

The mega-producer wants our client to come back for a bit of post-production work.  You know, the usual stuff.  But our client won't go, claiming his shooting schedule is too rigorous.  Trust me, it's not.

The producer said, and I quote, "I will shut down that shitty show for a week so we can fly that retard up to finish."

My genius bosses replied, "Why don't you just pay to fly the set and crew to him instead if you're going to spend that much money?'

The situation is not yet resolved.

My guess is it never will be.
