Nikki Finke [and lots of others] got advance leaks of the upcoming Vanity Fair story on the Anthony Pellicano case. She compiles a series of links to highlights. Among them:

- Brad Grey used Pellicano for work on behalf of Brad Pitt and Adam Sandler, and a former colleagues says "There wasn’t a day that I didn’t hear the words ‘Anthony Pellicano’ come out of Brad’s mouth."
- Bert Fields tried to get Hollywood to donate support for Pellicano's children.
- Tarita Virtue, Pellicano’s former executive vice president, describes the wiretapping "war room."
- Tapping in area code 310 was easy, but for 323, 213, 626, and 818 "Pellicano had to rent an apartment in each area code where he could stash a Macintosh and a detachable hard drive."
