Anything For A Buck

Agents are one of those necessities here in Tinseltown - pariahs who fawn over you to your face then turn around and screw you. Last week it was Melissa Etheridge who got it up the you know where.

Within hours of getting an Oscar Melissa discovered her agency had just inked a deal to represent the man who trashed her on his radio show.

We're taking about rabid homophobe Michael Savage.

Savage - whose real name is Michael Alan Weiner - has been signed by Creative Artists Agency.

At the Oscars when he name was read out as the winner of best song Etheridge did what every other winner did - kiss her spouse. In Melissa's case it was Tammy Lynn Michaels.

The next day on his syndicated ultra conservative yak fest Savage told his audience watching the kiss it ''made me want to puke,'' and then called gay unions like Etheridge and Michaels which include children is a form of ''child abuse.''

As anger over the comments mounted and questions began to be asked of CAA over why it had agreed to rep Savage, the high powered agency quietly dropped him.

Question remains though: why did CAA agree take on the noted homophobe in the first place?
