Actors' union, theatre producers reach agreement for 39-month contract

NEW YORK - The actors' union and Broadway theatre producers have reached a tentative agreement for a new 39-month contract that covers Broadway shows and touring productions.

Actors' Equity Association and the Broadway League, which represents both producers and theatre owners, had been negotiating past the deadline of midnight Sunday, when the last contract expired.

The contract agreement, announced Wednesday in a joint statement, averts the possibility of a strike. Stagehands walked off the job in November, shutting down more than two dozen Broadway shows for 19 days and costing producers and the city of New York millions of dollars in lost revenue.

More details on the actors' new contract were expected later Wednesday.

Condit Dunne In by Judge

Gary Condit didn't get slandered by Dominick Dunne.

Condit's federal lawsuit against the famed author was thrown out today, after a judge ruled Dunne's comments on "Larry King Live" -- intimating that Condit had something to do with the presumed murder of Chandra Levy -- did not rise to the level of slander.

U.S. District Judge Peter Leisure ruled, "The context in which Dunne's statements were made demonstrate that they were part of a discussion about 'speculation' in the media and inaccurate media coverage."

Dunne is finishing up a highly-anticipated novel. We have no idea what Condit is up to.
