Mild-mannered legal advocate by day, superhero by night?\u00a0<\/p>\n
James Egan<\/strong>, part of the team that successfully secured Gwyneth Paltrow<\/strong>\u2019s good name in the Park City, Utah ski accident trail (also known as the best show on television in March 2023<\/a>) has suddenly found himself an unexpected news-adjacent heartthrob.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fashion columnist Evan Ross Katz<\/strong> was the first significant voice out of the gate, sharing a photo of Egan on Instagram<\/a> and writing, \u201cGwyneth\u2019s attorney James Egan? I think we should have that conversation.\u201d In the comments, Katie Couric<\/strong>, of all people, remarked: \u201cHe\u2019s cute.\u201d (The jury finds no evidence of perjury!

(She was found not responsible for the snowy collision by a jury of her peers on Thursday<\/a>, and countersued retired optometrist Terry Sanderson<\/strong> for the amount of one U.S. dollar plus her legal fees. “I felt that acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity,\u201d the Oscar-winning actress said in a statement following the reading of the verdict.)\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWhere are you going right now?\u201d the Extra<\/em> correspondent asked, perhaps expecting him to respond, \u201cI\u2019m going to Disney World.\u201d Egan said he was off to see his one-year-old son, who had his birthday during the trial. Bush followed-up, mentioning that many have compared the young esquire to Clark Kent. \u201cI\u2019ve heard that. It\u2019s weird,\u201d he said. We present the following as evidence:<\/p>\n
