Well don't act so surprised. With all the terrible fortune befalling Harvey and Bob Weinstein lately: from the lawsuits and counter-lawsuits over Project Runway, to the failed MGM distribution deal, to the fact that the Weinstein Co. can't scramble together a Academy Award-pitching movie this season to save their life, it was inevitable that the ecomonic pressure would finally catch up to the high-living duo.

And now it's official: The Weinstein Company is cutting 11% of their workforce. What does that mean for your movie going experience?

If Harvey and Bob were peeved with MGM when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer renegged at the end days of their distributions deal with the brothers, they are now pissing themselves in rage. MGM made a deal with the devil in order to be the first film company to feature full-length movies on Google's YouTube service.

Which seems like, "Sure, okay, but we already have Hulu, so why does it matter that you can watch The Wizard of Oz in one whole part now?"

Several of the bigwigs over at the Weinstein Brothers production company have left on the down-low, giving more credence to the rumors that Harvey and Bob are floundering to make it past awards seasons.

An "explosive" Harvey and Bob Weinstein book might one day hit bookstore shelves, but don't expect its arrival anytime soon. That's because the still-anonymous author likely doesn't even have an agent, like alone a book deal, based on the report Page Six filed today — sourced by the author himself.

The scribe, a former Weinstein employee using the pseudonym "The Final Nail," wrote Page Six insisting "our database of Miramax files is huge" and that there was no nondisclosure agreement even signed, and even included a phone call recording, from 1996, between Harvey and Joe Roth, then president of Walt Disney Studios, where they're caught complaining about Michael Ovitz's $138 million severance package from Disney.

All potentially scandalous stuff — but none of that means a book will ever get printed.
