More good BIZ news: Apparently $100 million is now the magic number at which movie "properties" can get dumped -- and some are, with supposedly big names attached. It would never occur to the megalomaniacs that when they force the studios to pull their plugs, a lot of little guys get ZAPPED.

And if this biz is doing so well why is deep-sixing productions right and left?

And yet another tale of the woeful poverty in Beverly Hills:

[O]riginally the budget had been closer to $106 million — the trinity of Carrey, Stiller and director Jay Roach doesn't come cheap, though they took pay cuts to work together. (Still, according to those familiar with the deal, their combined salaries made up more than half the budget.)

AND:

"The problem is there are not enough movie stars right now," says an agent who did not want to be named.
