Rob Lowe Part of Group Looking to Buy Miramax?

I don't doubt TMZ's reporting on anything as a general rule; what they do, they do better than anybody else. And so when the underbelly-of-Hollywood site says "they've learned" about this or that, you can pretty much start your trip to the bank. Now, this one seems so far afield that I'm going to wait it out, but "TMZ has learned," begins the article, that Rob Lowe is part of a new half-billion-dollar "multi-platform media company, similar to DreamWorks." That company's first target, apparently, is Miramax. The studio is still up for grabs after Disney put it on the auction block earlier this year. This all started happening last week, with Lowe seen eating at London's C London restaurant with Formula One investor Flavio Briatore, the restaurant's owner Giuseppe Cipriani, and Tom Barrack of Colony Capital, which owns, among other things, the Michael Jackson estate. That when sources told TMZ about the formation of the new company, and with the price tag on Miramax sitting in the $700 million range, it's not too far away from how the new association was pitched last week. But again, we'll wait it out. Nothing against Rob Lowe, but do you really see him as a studio head? Seems like strange bedfellows to me.
