Could that gasbag Berman end up on future Olympiads? TV contract is up for grabs, starting in 2014.

Word is out that there is going to be a Shawshank Reunion. "Brooks was here."

Kanye West was underwhelming at Bonnaroo. If you start your set at 4:30 a.m., by God, you've gotta do better.

Gore Vidal is still cranky.
