Waxman vs. Russell

The New York Post's Page Six got hold of an email from Sharon Waxman, the New York Times' Hollywood reporter, to I ♥ Huckabees director David O. Russell. The pair has been publicly feuding, and in the email she castigates him for having a lawyer get involved:

Having your attorney call me? How Hollywood of you . . . and for a zen Buddhist yet. I think you'll regret your nasty behavior when you read the book. But that'll be way late in the day. I've obviously given you too much credit for being a classy human being, not the jerks I deal with all day long in this industry."

The book, Rebels on the Backlot: Six Maverick Directors and How They Conquered the Studio System, is the one Waxman was working on when the NYT hired her last year. For some reason, it seems to be causing her a lot of headaches.
