Jack Valenti "most likely will step down" in January as head of the MPAA and probably be replaced by Billy Tauzin, the Republican congressman from Louisiana, Jim Bates reports in the L.A. Times this morning. Valenti's sidle toward retirement and Tauzin as the heir apparent aren't new, but the January date appears to be a Bates scoop.


Can't wait for all those Valenti "gold watch" events. Thankfully, I won't be invited.
