Paradigm Talent Agency has named 14 new partners as the firm seeks to rebuild its stature in Hollywood.
Paradigm went through transformative struggles during the pandemic period that led to the company selling off its lucrative music and touring division to Casey Wasserman’s enterprise. In addition to cleaving off its music arm, the firm lost numerous agents and clients to layoffs and defections.
Monday’s promotions make it clear that the new-model Paradigm will focus on film, TV, publishing and theater, representing actors, writers, directors and producers as well as packaging TV series and movie properties. Last September the company also launched Paradigm Media Entertainment, a division to represent local and national news anchors, meteorologists, sportscasters, producers and other news and host talent. Paradigm kickstarted its way into the TV news biz with the acquisition of three speciality agencies: Napoli Management Group, Two Twelve Management and 3 Kings Entertainment.

A new report says that Steven Tyler is joining Jennifer Lopez as the newest judge on American Idol - and I’m bummed. Elton John would have been so much better!
Dim the lights, because you’re about to meet your next American Idol…judge. Rather anticlimactic, no? This is exactly how I felt upon learning that Steven Tyler had finally inked a deal to become one of Idol’s replacement judges.
“I’ve just confirmed from sources close to the singer that the “deal is done” for Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler to be one of the new judges joining Jennifer Lopez on American Idol next season,” Nikki Finke, from our sister site Deadline Hollywood, reported August 18, adding that the deal will reportedly be announced shortly after Labor Day (September 6th).
No offense to Steven or J. Lo, but I was hoping to Really bring the drama back to my favorite show this season.
