MySpace guys re-up

This wouldn't be worth mentioning if it weren't for all the bluster some months back about the astronomical salaries that Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe, the networking site's two founders, had been "demanding" from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. DeWolfe and Anderson had reportedly been looking for a two-year deal worth $50 million (Nikki Finke says that News Corp. was offering a little over half that). Anyway, Portfolio's Jeff Bercovici is posting on his Mixed Media site that they've reached a deal. An announcement is expected “any day now," but don’t look for any details on price from News Corp. DeWolfe is supposedly taking on more responsibilities at Bev Hills-based Fox Interactive, where MySpace is based.
