I have no idea what Deadline Hollywood is worth, but for the sake of argument let's just say it's worth $1 million (although Sharon Waxman figures it to be about half that.) So on the media landscape this transaction is the equivalent of buying 10 seconds of a Superbowl commercial. It's a nothing. It's a flea on the tail of the dog. It's about as significant as Episode 2 of Cavemen.

I have to say, Nikki sure posts a lot more about herself than Hollywood. Every other time I look on her site, she hasn't posted in a week, and there's an advisory saying she's sick or too busy.
Favorite post of hers?
"I owe you an explanation for my light posting and prolonged absence: I was the victim of a crime"
I mean, it's not funny she was a victim of a crime, but it's just that she found it so newsworthy.
