John Mayer Quits Twitter

John Mayer surprised fans when he decided to shut down his Twitter account. It seemingly came out of nowhere when a rep for the Grammy award winning singer announced, “With the Battle Studies Tour now at a close and a return to the studio planned, John has discontinued his Twitter account. However, he continues to communicate with his fans via his blog as he always has.” Mayer had an estimated 3.7 million Twitter followers and was a avid user of the site.

Miramax is No More

Miramax, the former indie movie studio that churned out big time commercial hits such as “Pulp Fiction,” “Good Will Hunting” and “Chicago,” was shut down yesterday by Disney. The former Hollywood powerhouse, founded 30 years ago by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, lost some of its artsy appeal after selling out to Disney in 1993. In fact, it appeared that instead of growing the business, Mickey & Company scaled back production. The studio has been on life support since the fall when president Daniel Battsek resigned.
