    They great thing about wages this low is that there's no need to get upset that you're prostituting yourself. Because, you know, prostitutes get paid.

    When I as a youngster just starting out we got $.50 an hour and we had to go out and find 13 year-olds for Charlie Chaplin to have sex with.

    This is the way it's been since Lew Wasserman was in short pants. If you want to be a successful agent, it's part of the career. If you don't like it, hit the bricks, because there is always someone who will do it.

    @PaisleyPajamas: I did a brief stint at an agency; when you factored in the unpaid overtime, including 2 hours a night spent driving all over town delivering scripts, I made less than minimum wage. During my time there I was dead broke and living in an apartment where smoke issued from the outlets whenever I used the microwave, while my fellow assistants - 90% of whom had graduated from Harvard Westlake/Horace Mann/Dalton - drove to work in shiny hand-me-down Porsches. I eventually came to my senses and quit, but the experience pretty much made me a Marxist.

    Beauty is the lure, not the hook. And she is young and not devious enough yet to have the skills to reel a man in. Bar, may I recommend this book to you:

    That Michael Jackson tour thing will be a catastrophe, but I predict an entertaining one, in a Halloween fun house where the actors touch you kind of way.

    Am I weird? I've never, ever found Leo DiCaprio attractive. I think he looks like a puffy sleaze most of the time, and when he slicks his hair back he looks like he could be running a deli in Newark.

    I'm guessing that when you're Leo DiCaprio, you don't have to all that hard. It'd be a little like picking up bowling ball on the moon.
