Paramount Pictures Chairman Sherry Lansing's husband, Billy Friedkin, is a "director." To get her husband the directing job on repulsive-piece-of-dog-crap "Jade," and to minimize the appearance of nepotism, she asked Esterhazs to insist on Friedkin, which he agreed to do as a favor. When Esterhazs saw the finished product, he went nuts and demanded his name be taken off the picture. To play ball, Sherry Lansing gave Esterhazs what amounted to $4 million in hush money.

The guy who wrote "Showgirls" was embarassed by "Jade"? What's next, Woody being embarassed that he's dating his cousin?
