When things hit a nasty impasse, Nardicio responded:

"In three years, when Klein gets tired of blowing you, you'll be just another bottle blond looking for work, so you should be more respectful of people trying to give you work."

Ouch-a-ma-goucha. He could have at least said "in four years".

Nardicio tells me he later felt his remark was a low blow, so he apologized to Gruber for having said it (especially since it had gone public in this blog for all the world to cherish).

The two promptly made up and Nick even said he's glad there are no longer hard feelings.

I'm starting to learn more of what Calvin sees in this guy!

Playgirl

Snooki's ex-boyfriend, Jeff Miranda, is always semi-nude anyway as he prances down the boardwalk reeking of eau de Guido.

But now he's more semi-nude.

Jeff just submitted a shower photo to Playgirl -- yes, them again -- showing what he's sort of almost made of, and I guess it's his Miranda right.

I guess Andy Dick wasn't available.

In any case, that doesn't mean some shots might not include undies too, if just to please the tasteful old biddies up in Alaska. And so, inquiring minds want to know just what underwear brand Levi will sport under his Levis.

Says Playgirl spokesman Daniel Nardicio, "We're in negotiations with a couple of hot underwear brands to get them on Levi for this iconic shoot. In the end it depends on which ones look best, and we'll decide that on location--brands that are interested can contact me directly."
