Know this: I did not sell out. I really meant it when I said that DeadlineHollywood Daily.com will continue to be an independent editorial voice – and I would retain complete control over everything reported on the website — so that DHD’s credibility with its readers could remain intact. Now, with this new company’s advanced infrastructure and capable team, I can bring DHD to the next level starting next month. You have been asking for that: trust me, your frustrations have been my frustrations. The site will become bicoastal and debut a New York City-based senior journalist soon. I also expect DHD’s design to be tweaked but not significantly altered. Your suggestions will be very helpful. And, as always, I am very grateful for your news tips. Posting will return to normal on Wednesday.
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.


I just wanted to say congratulations! This sounds like a very exciting development.
Keep up the good work. I hope it doesn’t change too much.
Best.
MMC are the same people who are my free email provider, so now it’s like we’re within two degrees of each other.
I hope you don’t cost me too much money. Congrats.
Congrats!
Love you or hate you, you keep us informed. In fact, most of us find out about what’s happening within our own companies and the fate of our jobs through YOU. NOT our employers.
We’re grateful for that and you.
Good luck!
Nikki, you’re not a sell out just yet…
Glad you disabled comments on your posting of the acquisition – a good faith show of dominance over your readers. Hopefully, we can expect to not be able to comment on many more postings to come!
Thanks for all the info thus far.
Sell out. as long as you rock this still and not some douche intern who takes over while you spent ur new coin – you get yours. you’ve given so much. time to take a little.
congrats.
Congratulations Nikki on the deal. I look forward to the new developments on your site!
Relax, Nikk. Nobody is mad. Congrats! You deserve it!
You going with the Bentley or the Maserati?
I for one wish you good luck with this new venture, and I will maintain the high expectations I have for your work.
And it only counts as selling out if you were bought by Sumner Redstone or Harvey Weinstein. And in that case I’d tell you to get your money up front.
Yeah, that’s what they ALL say at first….nothing will change. Soon the new corporate masters will “suggest” a little change here and there and when you don’t do their bidding…..see ya!
Sold. Out.
Nikki: Good Stuff! Keep true to your path. Look forward to your next chapter.
Congrats – you rock, and I hope you get a nice paycheck for it. You deserve it.
So now we get Bi-Costal psuedo-journo musings? Glad those yanks can join in on the anxiety train.
Congratulations! So excited to see the site become stronger and more robust. Oh, and I hope this means you also get a SIGNIFICANT pay-raise.
GOOD LUCK!
Only time will tell but faith is abundant. There is one problem with this release – where do we go for the inside scoop, the story behind the story, and the answer to the question everyone is asking…How much??
Congratulations, we look forward to the next step!
well, if you must change, please try to keep the lo-techness of your site — the best thing besides the content is how bare bones it is and how fast it loads.
Woah. Who said anything about selling out?
As for cashing in… that’s a different story altogether.
Seriously, I pity the fool who’s going to try and tame the Bride of Finkenstein!
Good luck with the new deal.
Sell out.
Congratulations! You deserve it. You’ve created one of the few go-to sites on the web out of whole-cloth and destroyed the competition in the process.
You’ll be great! Hope you made a killing… you deserve it for all your hard work, tireless effort and awesome courage.
Let me be the first to congratulate you on your new endeavor. I’m looking forward to the new DHD!
Nikki, you’re going corporate???
Sellout!!
Just kidding. I enjoy your column and look forward to the upcoming advancements. Thanks!
