It’s ‘Hot In Hollywood’ For HSN Vendor Laurie Feltheimer’s Husband, As He Faces Hostile Bid At Lionsgate From Carl Icahn

Laurie Feltheimer does a line of clothing and accessories called Hot in Hollywood for HSN. And things are indeed getting hot in Hollywood (well, technically, Santa Monica) for her husband Jon Feltheimer, who is CEO of Lionsgate Entertainment, the indie studio that produces shows like AMC’s “Mad Men” and movies like “Precious.”

Carl Icahn — the man that some call an “activist investor” and others call a pain in the butt — has made a hostile bid to increase his stake in Lionsgate. Icahn has been breathing down Jon Feltheimer’s neck since last year, when the billionaire investor griped about the acquisitions Lionsgate was making.

Lionsgate purchased TV Guide Network, and is now in looking to buy Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Miramax Films.

We’ll spare you the boring financial details, but the bottom line is if Icahn succeeds in increaseing his Lionsgate stake to 29.9 percent, he would become its largest shareholder. As such, Ichan would be in a position to potentially oust Lionsgate’s current management or look to merge or sell the studio.

We interviewed “Felt,” as Jon Feltheimer is called, last year, and he seemed like a savvy guy. We wish him luck in his continuing saga with Icahn.

These are hot

Laurie Feltheimer, meanwhile, will be at HSN in Florida Friday with shows for her Hot in Hollywood line.

Dare we say it, but we spotted a motorcycle peep-toe bootie in gray that we really like, for $60.

Maybe Jon should send a couple of pairs of these over to Icahn.

Oprah Winfrey And Home Shopping? Our Connection Is The Wife of Lionsgate’s Chief Jon Feltheimer, With Her HSN ‘Hot In Hollywood’ Line

We were trying to find a way to get Oprah Winfrey’s name into our blog, and we finally got it Sunday.

Laurie Feltheimer, who does the “Hot in Hollywood” line of clothes and accessories for HSN, did a bit of name-dropping during her shows. She was talking about the $50 skinny jeans she was selling.

“My husband has a new movie out,” Feltheimer said. “It’s called ‘Precious.'”

She is married to a gentleman we have interviewed, Jon Feltheimer, who is the head of the Lionsgate movie and TV studio.

Laurie said that “Lady O” was at the recent red-carpet premiere of “Precious.” Of course, she was referring to Winfrey, who is executive producer of the critically acclaimed movie. Winfrey wore skinny jeans to the event, according to Laurie.

“I was looking at her, and she looked so good,” Laurie said of Winfrey.

Laurie’s husband’s studio Lionsgate also produces the Emmy-winning “Mad Men,” which airs on AMC. The “Mad Men” season finale is Sunday night, and we can’t wait. Don Draper has had a rough couple of weeks, hasn’t he?
