    I’ll be looking forward to Finke’s story about Ken Aflac getting a divorce from Gwenifer Jarner.

    Aren’t non-competes unenforceable in California?

      In an employment agreement, maybe, but not if it’s part of a legal settlement.

      Not a lawyer, but the big exception to Calif.’s sweeping non-compete law is when a proprietor sells a business — the seller is specifically prevented from starting a new business that could destroy the goodwill of the old business. Sounds exactly like the Finke/Penske situation.

    Gawker’s interest in Nikki Finke is touching. I’ve worked in Hollywood for 20 years, and I can count on the functional fingers of Django Reinhardt’s left hand how many times I’ve heard her name mentioned.

      It depends on which arena you’re in. Talent and representation regularly discussed and read Deadline.

    I will always think that a “Finke” is a large weasel or ferret, kind of like a ROUS that can talk and use a smart phone.

      I would pay to read spy’s old columnist Celia Brady’s fiction. I can’t imagine anyone but the subjects paying to read Nikki Finke’s.

        This might have been the last time she cracked a smile, or enjoyed watching movies.

          Holyshit, a decade non-compete? That’s insane. No reasonable judge should allow that thing to stand up in court.

            Remember it’s a settlement term not a non-compete.

          I didn’t read this, and I won’t, but I'm 100% sure my conclusion would be the same: fuck nikki finke
