New York Times: Nikki Finke generated scoop after scoop on the entertainment industry at Deadline, the website she started in 2006. But now at 61, Finke finds herself facing a daunting new chapter in her career: a plan to leave journalism and write and publish fiction about the entertainment industry on her new website, Hollywood Dementia. She recently came to a lucrative legal settlement with Jay Penske, who bought Deadline in 2009, only to clash with Finke, forcing a split. She is now said to be barred from practicing journalism about the entertainment industry online for about a decade.
