GraydonGate Gains Steam
The L.A. Weekly's Nikki Finke updates her story on the ongoing LAT and NYT investigations of Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter. Now the Wall Street Journal is in on the investigation, and the LAT may be the first major news outlet to go to press with the story, possibly as early as Monday. According to Finke's article, LAT writer Michael Cieply has uncovered "six cases already' of Carter benefiting financially from his relationship with Hollywood. And there's a lot of heat surrounding Carter supposedly charging outrageous amounts for his "consulting services."
If any of this turns out to be true, what do you think Carter got in return for this month's awful close-up of Brad Pitt's mug? Five minutes in the walk-in closet with Jennifer Aniston?
