  As they say , when one door closes, another one will open. I've got a feeling the brother will do alright in the long run.

  How much business is really at Overbrook? Getting fired just as the Smiths start more projects.

  Don't cry for him, Argentina. The truth is...this was the best thing to happen to him.

  This is really unfortunate to hear. I hope this isn't the 1,427,399,005th case of nepotism in Hollywood, taking a dump on talent.

  This in very interesting. I don't see why with all the money the Smiths have they can't just add a third person to help out. You can't blame a Mr. Leonard in this economy for branching out and doing other things. The real question is whether Caleeb Pinkett can still handle the job well without him? Unfortunately, this happens all too often when you mix business and family. I hope things go well in the future for the Smiths Overbrook company and for Mr. Leonard.

  I don't think the answer to someone (maybe) not doing their job is to hire someone else to pick up the slack. You just find another person who will actually do what they're paid to do. Doubt we'll get the real story on this, whether it be a lack of focus/work ethic, on the job failures, nepotism, some weird Scientology thing, something totally different.
