Reporter's Lawyers Subpoena Ovitz in Hollywood Suit

The New York Times reports:

Lawyers for Anita Busch, a reporter who was threatened in 2002 — kicking off a three-year investigation of the private investigator Anthony Pellicano — confirmed on Friday that they had subpoenaed Michael Ovitz, the former talent agent, manager, and Walt Disney Company president, as a "person of interest" in their civil lawsuit against Mr. Pellicano, an unnamed client of his, and an unnamed law firm.

One of the lawyers, Brian Kabateck, said they had done so because "there seems to be a direct connection between Mr. Ovitz and the timing of the articles that Anita was working on and the other people that were being investigated" by Mr. Pellicano, the celebrity detective at the center of a huge Hollywood wiretapping scandal.

Ovitz manages to stay in the news.
