* What Zell says: They have met socially only once and "There's been no discussions with him whatsoever," Zell told the San Jose Mecury News. Zell reiterated that he has no plans to sell off pieces of the Tribune Company, but the New York Times claims Zell and Geffen have a dinner date Friday night.
