Ovitz and Pellicano

The L.A. Times reports:

And almost a year earlier, Pellicano allegedly went after two other Ovitz adversaries, talent agents Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane, ordering their names run through the law enforcement databases as well.

Both were former proteges of Ovitz at Creative Artists Agency, which he co-founded. They became his competitors when Ovitz started Artists Management Group after a brief but tumultuous stint as president of the Walt Disney Co. in the mid-1990s.

Federal officials would not say if they regard Ovitz, who has testified before a grand jury in the case, as anything other than a witness.

The saga continues.
