'Die Hard' in Pellicano's Web


Who's Sorry Now?

John McTiernan, that's who. Welcome to the Big House, Johnnie-boy. Weird thought - do ya think GWB and Pellicano strategized on how to listen in on folks? Ya think?

LAT here: "Director John McTiernan pleaded guilty today to charges that he lied to the FBI in the unfolding federal investigation of wiretapping and other alleged wrongdoing by Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano.When he is sentenced on July 31, McTiernan faces five years in prison, three years' probation and a $250,000 fine. He was expected to remain free on a $50,000 bond until sentencing....In a two-page document made public last month, federal prosecutors alleged that McTiernan, 55, whose directing credits also include "Die Hard," lied about having hired Pellicano to wiretap veteran film producer Charles Roven. McTiernan and Roven worked together on "Rollerball."
