RUMOR OF AGENCY ACQUISITION

[Gillyflower Cooms]

There is some word on the street that Paradigm has acquired the Writers and Artists Agency and a few others too.

What I want to know is when International Creative Management and United Talent Agency will merge to form Creative United Management.

That's been a rumor around town for a really long time. Don't think there was ever any truth to it. Both agencies have too many power players and the hierarchy would be a shambles.

Paradigm and Genesis merged a while ago.

Naughty, naughty, Hamboogul.
