Since January, Tina Brown has pitched two projects that HBO execs liked and are in the process of "taking a little further." She tells Felix Gillette: "If I collide with some interesting material, I'll call or e-mail them. Sometimes it's something I'm interested in doing.

It's working out well." || PLUS: Frank Rich discusses his HBO deal.
