And who\u2019s really behind the push to publish now? The story\u2019s as thorny as Finke\u2019s reputation, we found out.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, upstart newsletter LA Material broke the news that Finke\u2019s estate was selling her Hollywood memoir. The famed scribe had sparked fear and loathing in Hollywood\u2019s C-suites during her reign as the doyenne of Deadline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the story is who is trying to do this and why now?\u201d says a rep whose clients regularly tussled with Finke, while a high-level publishing insider enthused, \u201cSounds intriguing. Could definitely be a thing. But I wonder who\u2019s repping it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to LA Material, a woman named <strong>Connie Su<\/strong>, described as a \u201clongtime friend\u201d of the Hollywood chronicler, \u201chas been entrusted by the estate to help shop the book around to those interested in publishing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the story noted that Su only met Finke, \u201caround 2015, when both attended a Wellesley College alumnae event in Culver City,\u201d and that Finke, who graduated from Wellesley 34 years before Su, became a \u201cmentor\u201d to the young woman, who worked in neither journalism nor Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot a chance,\u201d says one former close associate of the famed writer. \u201cNicki never went out, never mind to a random Wellesley mixer. That\u2019s a total joke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We reached out to Su on Wednesday for more information about her role as the unlikely custodian of a manuscript that would presumably rock the town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks for reaching out. I can speak next week. Out of town this week. Thank you!\u201d Su texted. When we mentioned our story was running the next day, we never heard back. (Finke herself famously said she worked 20 hours a day, after all!)<\/p>\n<p>The book, which had been in the works for decades and promised to spill the tea on the town\u2019s titans, became a sticking point between Finke and her billionaire boss <strong>Jay Penske<\/strong> a year after the media mogul bought Finke\u2019s digital blog, Deadline Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>Sources tell Page Six Hollywood that Penske attempted to strong-arm Finke over a series of projects she had in the works that included the HBO series \u201cTilda,\u201d which would star Diane Keaton as the journalist who brought the town\u2019s most powerful to their knees, plus a video game at Paramount(!) and the memoir.<\/p>\n<p>In an email exchange between the two dated June 9, 2010, Penske told Finke that the projects posed an ethical and contractual violation, sources told us. Finke pushed back hard, arguing that she did not cover Simon &amp; Schuster, the tome\u2019s high-powered would-be publisher. \u201cNow, please do NOT lecture me about journalism ethics, especially when you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about,\u201d Finke snapped.<\/p>\n<p>Rights to the book remained at Simon &amp; Schuster until 2014, when things devolved further between Finke and Penske. The two became locked in a legal battle before a settlement was reached. Shortly thereafter, Finke mysteriously pulled back the book and returned the advance, even after literary lion <strong>Jonathan Karp<\/strong> had touted the tome to the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>One source who was familiar with the back-and-forth at the time says Penske \u201cowns all the rights\u201d to the book. A rep for Penske did not respond to a request for comment. Karp\u00a0also\u00a0did\u00a0not\u00a0comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/metrotransitreview.com\/?p=6286\">Dr. Anthony Fauci held in contempt by Senate panel after taking the Fifth 111 times in COVID hearing \u2014 could face prosecution<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another source who enjoyed a collegial relationship with Finke over the decades says the book represented a passion project that was meant to punctuate her career as the ultimate Hollywood mogul whisperer\/destroyer. The source was unnerved that someone is attempting to revive this book four years after Finke\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow will her legacy be protected? Who is going to rewrite this book?\u201d the source asked. \u201cI feel I want to protect Nikki in this situation to tell you the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(All this is dovetailing against the backdrop of another imminent bombshell book by an outspoken Hollywood habitue: <strong>Ari Emanuel\u2019<\/strong>s forthcoming memoir \u201cRoll the Calls.\u201d A source tells us that Finke features in Emanuel\u2019s book, out Sept. 22 from Knopf. \u201cAri Emanuel\u2019s book has some great stories about how during the merger talks of WME and Endeavor he was leaking everything to Nikki to get the upper hand while pretending to be upset about it,\u201d mused a source familiar with Emanuel\u2019s manuscript. A rep for WME did not get back to us.)<\/p>\n<p>Many others who read the LA Material article found Su\u2019s inclusion in the mystery project to be odd. As far as Finke\u2019s heirs, she did have relatives including two nieces. We reached out to both to ask if they were aware of \u2014 or condoned \u2014 the project. Neither responded as of press time. Others questioned why the estate wouldn\u2019t simply enlist a literary agent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>William Briggs<\/strong>, a partner at top law firm Venable, repped Finke during parts of the Deadline drama. He says he was unaware that she had an estate, or who the executors might be. \u201cI will say that my time with Nikki was a blessing because she gave me insights into others in the entertainment industry that I had not had before,\u201d Briggs told us. \u201cShe was a very impactful person when she was alive and at the zenith of her career. I think she was a force for good in terms of letting others take a peek behind the industry curtain and see what was really going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But any memoir by the woman the Times once called \u201cThe Most Hated Reporter in Hollywood\u201d\u00a0 is also being met around town with a heavy dose of skepticism among her former subjects. On one hand, Finke is credited with revolutionizing how aggressively journalists cover the industry, but some suggest that she played fast and loose to service her own needs and those of her sources. \u201cHow can there be a memoir from someone who made up so many of the details of her own life?\u201d asks one veteran executive who lived through the Finke era.<\/p>\n<p>Among Finke\u2019s biggest targets were CAA co-founder <strong>Michael Ovitz <\/strong>and onetime Disney boss<strong> Michael Eisner<\/strong>. (The long buried book was even once called in the \u201990s, according to LA Material, \u201cThe Man Who Wanted Everything: Michael Ovitz and the Dark Dreams of Hollywood.\u201d But Finke was allegedly worried about being sued, LA Material reported.)<\/p>\n<p>The volume\u2019s latest iteration is now called, \u201cHubris,\u201d and a pal and former LA Times staff writer, <strong>Diane Haithman<\/strong>, has helped edit it, LA Material reported, describing the tome as a \u201cjuicy history of a bygone, freewheeling town.\u201d The report said that the book includes tales of \u201cHollywood titans from the 1980s and 1990s, including executives like <strong>Ron Meyer<\/strong>, Michael Eisner, and Brandon Tartikoff, along with legendary talent agent Sue Mengers,\u201d plus, \u201cPaul Newman, <strong>Dustin Hoffman<\/strong>, Robert Redford and <strong>Kevin Costner<\/strong>.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>(Ovitz told LA Material of the alleged book project: \u201cDon\u2019t know anything about it.\u201d Some of the famous names mentioned, like Mengers, Newman and Tartikoff, are long gone, while Redford died last year.)<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A day after Finke\u2019s death, another of her biggest targets, former friend and colleague <strong>Sharon Waxman<\/strong> of TheWrap, penned a piece titled, \u201cThe Tortured Life of Nikki Finke: Best Friend, Worst Enemy \u2013 and Made for the Internet.\u201d She wrote of Finke and her famed feuds: \u201cEditors found her difficult to manage and she had made enemies of Michael Ovitz, Michael Eisner and many others in the industry who went over her head to push back on her aggressive coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another Finke target, \u201cMallrats\u201d director <strong>Kevin Smith<\/strong>, once called Finke, \u201cthe most dangerous cat lady on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Richard Rushfield<\/strong> of The Ankler wrote when Finke died: \u201cShe lied about things small \u2014 she would tweak weekend box office numbers to punish people who hadn\u2019t bought ads; changing time stamps to make it look like she broke a story \u2014 and things enormous.\u201d But he added that in her day, \u201cNikki wasn\u2019t the dominant topic, she was the only topic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her fictionalized HBO series, \u201cTilda,\u201d also never saw the light of day. HBO shot a pilot but decided against moving forward. Perhaps Finke\u2019s memoir will enjoy a better fate. Says the source whose clients tussled with Finke: \u201cIf it\u2019s Nikki from beyond the grave and wanted to have her last laugh, that\u2019s fine. But she was someone who was a voice for a select few in the industry. The question is: Who is driving this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/metrotransitreview.com\/?p=6284\">Anti-Trump Canadian lunatic who was ordered deported after slapping teen suffers another embarrassing blow<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The idea that Nikke Finke&#8217;s unpublished memoir could finally see the light of day drew reactions ranging from PTSD to piqued interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6289,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-page-six-hollywood"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Infamous blogger&#039;s posthumous book terrifies Hollywood bigwigs \u2014 but who&#039;s behind it?
