Grazergate

Acclaimed film producer Brian Grazer was set to be a guest editor for the Los Angeles Times this past week. However, it was discovered shortly before his section went to print that the editor who chose the filmmaker was in a romantic relationship with Grazer's PR representative. The LA Times publisher decided not to print the section because "although the newspaper did not believe that Martinez's relationship with publicist Kelly Mullens played a part in the selection of Grazer, the Times had decided to cancel the section "to avoid even the appearance of conflict."" (Defamer.com) Grazer only commented early this week that he was 'delighted' to have had the chance to work with staff from the LA Times.
