Writers' Strike: OVER! (According to Eisner)

Sorry for recent lack of posts. I've been sick in bed with the flu, nursing a bottle of lemon-lime Gatorade. But as I head into recovery, so does Hollywood. Because...

A deal has been struck between the major media companies and the Writers
Guild of America to end the writers' strike, former Walt Disney chief executive
Michael Eisner revealed on CNBC.
"It's over," Eisner said. "They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It's going on Saturday to the writers in general."
Eisner, speaking live on CNBC's "Fast Money," seemed to hesitate initially about whether it was possible that the writers could still reject the agreement, but finally suggested the deal's acceptance was inevitable.

OK, so Eisner's not the most trusted name in Hollywood, but this certainly isn't bad news. Keep an eye out for updates...
