Via the Hollywood Reporter:

“Starbucks president Ken Lombard said the company’s content division will be relocating from its Seattle headquarters and closer to the hub of Hollywood. Last week’s disclosure came during a gathering of the nonprofit Digital Coast Roundtable held at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica, where Lombard said its Starbucks Entertainment content unit will be relocating to Los Angeles. The move demonstrates its commitment to its entertainment strategy, Lombard said.”

Mike Meyers was right - Dr. Evil DOES run Starbucks. They’re not content to put a cafe on every street corner, even if there is another one on the opposite corner. Starbucks is already the leading distributor of B-list recording artists, yanking the rug out from Rhino Records. Now they’re going to cozy up with music and movie people - presumably with an eye toward having Starbucks in every damn thing you see and hear. Brace yourselves.

Incidentally, for kicks walk into the nearest Starbucks and order a short drink. I recommend the cappucino. It’s true - Starbucks offers an unadvertised size. Drink up!
