deadline hollywood

While spending many hours of this past summer sitting behind a desk bored out of my mind, I stumbled upon this blog called Deadline Hollywood Daily. There are a lot of LA/celebrity/entertainment blogs out there, but this is a bit different. It's run by a journalist who works for the LA Weekly, an independent (I think? It's free, at least) newspaper. While it's not exactly objective, it provides mostly reliable information (oftentimes from high-up sources) and an unabashed critique of the presentation of the state of affairs in trades like Variety, which can be notoriously studio-friendly. The site is pretty well read within the industry, form what I understand, and seems to be often used as the go-to source for the "real" info on the ongoing WGA strike.
