Son of Henry and brother of Zoe, Max is a new director to watch. His writing partner is Jonah Hill (they’ve been friends since Crossroads) and Max’s new movie Ceremony stars Uma Thurman *(who is adorably named after Max’s sister Zoe).The film also stars Nathalie Love who is Lisa Love’s daughter (editor at Vogue who you know from The Hills). We’ve been seeing a log of Nathalie and her sister Laura Love this year at parties and in the press. The movie is avavilable On Demand (for $8.99) right now but will also be in theatres April 8, 2011!

If you watch Entourage, who’ve heard Ari Gold reference the shop before. It is one of the best talent management companies in Hollywood and the world.

The comments section on Nikki’s blog bashed her for reporting “non-news” and bashed Sam for getting the job not on his own merits and bashed Management 360 for alternative motives. But we ask; who better to have the job than someone who grew up with a studio chief? Have a look at Sam’s resume here and then tell me I am wrong. Favoritism or not, anyone in their right mind would hire someone with this background and it’s certainly not Sam’s fault he got started young or had parent’s who motivated him to take part.  Click to Continue Reading
