...instantly became one of Hollywood's great scandals--the mysterious death of Thomas Ince during a cruise on William Randolph Hearst's yacht in 1924. Officially he died of natural causes, but rumor had Hearst murdering him. This film opts for the juicier tale. It has a lovely performance by Kirsten Dunst as Marion Davies, Hearst's beloved mistress; she makes us see why someone might kill to keep her love. But the rest of the boaters (including Charlie Chaplin) are presented as idiot farceurs. The result is tiresome and tone-deaf and a disappointing comeback for Bogdanovich...
...Harvey has gone astray. He admits to being distracted, starting in 1999, when he was sidelined with a serious bacterial infection. He became focused on politics, campaigning for Hillary Clinton and Al Gore. But it was Talk magazine that became his white whale. A joint venture between Miramax and Hearst, the talked-about but uncompelling monthly died after less than three years. One Miramax executive says the company lost $27 million. Another says, "Talk was a constant distraction. Harvey wanted it to succeed as a magazine and financially, and every day was another problem." For a while, he seemed...
...allowed him the most amount of freedom of form. So here they are, printed in chronological order with their date of publication.

The strips are just black and white because William Randolph Hearst, syndicator and patron saint of the strip, ran it in the arts section of his papers rather than the color "funnies."

Late last week Hearst and Miramax told Brown time had run out, and she flew from the Golden Globe parties in Los Angeles to shutter the offices. Outside, photographers showed up to capture the end, as they did the beginning, ashes to ashes, buzz to bust...
...Broadway, the spare production of eight actors, a piano and a harp ran for 17,162 performances after opening on May 3, 1960. CLOSED. TALK MAGAZINE, brainchild of former New Yorker editor Tina Brown and chronicler of celebrities and popular culture; in New York City. Publishers Miramax Films and Hearst Corp. cited the poor business climate after Sept. 11 as the reason for its demise. RELEASED. WANG CE, 52, democracy advocate, from prison for good behavior; in Zhejiang, China. Head of a group of exiles called the Freedom and Democracy Party, Wang was sentenced in March 1999 to four years...
