   It's only libel if it is false. And if you refer to what I have said, I made   
   it very clear that Bruce was one of the very few protected cast members. The   
   fact that jms screwed people has absolutely nothing to do with what or   
   whether he earns. It has a great deal to do with the fact that Babylonian's   
   profits were protected at the expense of the actors. Who are a much larger   
   part of the show. Let's face it, you can make a crap movie with Tom Cruise   
   and people will still go see it. How many TV shows or films do you think are   
   watched by people who do so *specifically* because of the writer?
