Podcast Problems

UPDATE: As requested, I've posted an 18-min file that includes the Ellen interview and then the rest of the 11/22 show. Download it here or right-click to save it here.

OK. So here's what I did. First, I put the Ellen/Patti show up without cutting off five minutes of LVRocks.Com music in the front. So I went in and reposted that show. And when I did, somehow I cut off the last 10 minutes of it, so in the middle of Ellen, the audio just vanishes.

So now I've posted a fully corrected version. AND, a little later today, the Wynn Part I episode will go up. HOWEVER, if you just can't wait, you can click here to hear it or right-click here to download it to your computer.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm a boob.

THE STRIP IS LIVE @ 7 WITH ELLEN AND PATTI!

Come join us at 7 pm PT tonight for our interviews with Patti LuPone and Ellen DeGeneres, not to mention news from Vegas, the trivia question, the poll, your own chatter and that silly drinking game y'all love so much in the chat room. Patti's pretty fiery about the current state of Broadway, so don't miss that.

Join us at LVROCKS.Com. Don't worry if you're a few minutes late -- we are, too, most weeks! If you can't make it, grab the podcast edition on Thursday when it's posted!

OJ, Ellen and Wynn

OK. So I'm sure by now you know OJ Part Duh is coming to a courtroom near us late next year. Well, if you care, here's my New York Times coverage of today's events in court. V.S. will be delighted to know I refrained from using the word "disgraced" as it pertains to Pete Rose today and, yes, I did so in part because of her post.

More important, though, is my USA Today piece on Ellen DeGeneres, which appears in Thursday's paper. She's performing at Caesars Palace Thursday night as part of The Comedy Festival in a variety show that will air Monday night on TBS. But Ellen is controversial these days, what with her weepy Iggy caper and her continuing to shoot her talk show during the writers strike. So see what she has to say about all that in my piece. But, also, grab next week's podcast to hear our conversation in its entirety.

Finally, I had an hourlong chat with Steve Wynn today for a piece I'm filing Friday about Wynn's Michelin triumphs and some other topics. There was, as always, loads of news out of that conversation and I'll start piecing it out over the next week. I haven't listened to the discussion again since it ended at 7 p.m. and I'm thoroughly exhausted at the moment from all the week's events.
