Captains of Industry

A nosy Village Voice scribe stumbled across a large bundle of Miramax head Harvey Weinstein's garbage whilst in Tribeca the other night, and then he wrote about it for his paper. Besides making it abundantly clear that few scripts pass muster with the notoriously prickly and prickish Weinstein, the refuse also revealed that the mogul is quite a difficult man to get on the phone. After the jump, Harv's "need to call" list.

Topping Harvey's June 9 "need to call” agenda was Gwyneth Paltrow, "re: PROMISES, PROMISES.” Has Paltrow heard that another update to the 1968 Broadway smash (in turn based on the Billy Wilder film The Apartment) is in the works and wants in? Does Anne Hathaway know that Paltrow may be interested in the lead role she's reportedly already landed?

Harvey also needs to call stylist Rachel Zoe, Disney head Bob Iger, Sylvester Stallone ("re: Nelson DeMille's book Spencerville”), Ron Perelman, Michelle Williams, Diane Von Furstenberg ("re: Fashion copyright matter”), Julia Roberts ("re: NY Concert – June 10; via Richard Lovett and Project Runway”), Kate Hudson ("re: DIOR”), Morgan Spurlock, and Tommy Hilfiger.

And Harvey needs to call Woody Allen ("re: Bullets Over Broadway”)—presumably about the rumored stage adaptation of Woody's film. On a more somber note, Harvey's also supposed to call Heath Ledger's former agent, Steve Alexander, "re: heath ledger massage therapist.”

    I think I know what to get Harv for his birthday.

    A SHREDDER.

    Good Lord. What if someone got a hold of something REALLY important, like, his social security number? Only YOU can prevent identity theft.
