According to Mr Friend's story one of Nikki Finke's favourite movies is Legally Blonde (Good God, Nikki! You must REALLY like MGM if it's true). And Nikki has a cat called Blue. I didn't know Nikki has a cat, that must be a huge problem with sources working at Disney.

P.S.: I love the reference to Charlie of Charlie's Angels in Tad Friend's piece.
