The Los Angeles Times , which first reported that Brad Grey was close to signing a deal with Viacom to become head of Paramount, is reporting today (Tuesday) that negotiations between the two sides have bogged down over how much the company will pay Grey to leave his own firm, Brillstein-Grey. The newspaper said in today's editions that Grey has told friends and associates that he hasn't decided whether to take the job but hopes to do so by today. It added that Viacom sources had expressed confidence that the issue would be resolved quickly.
