Good morning from ASPEN, CO. Here for some genuine rest (I have no I idea how to) and hikes. And to see my godchildren... Had a great time over the weekend in LAS VEGAS for NOAH TEPPERBERG's "farewell tour". Much needed fun with buddies JASON STRAUSS, JOHN MASON, JASON POMERANC, KEVIN ASCH, DASH MIHOK and others. My Vegas stamina isn't what it used to be. Can't do all-nighters anymore. And I'm long on PURELL. Watched my first UFC championship fight with the boys. Big time chef and CHOPPED judge CHRIS SANTOS gave me a quick tutorial on the fighters and the rules (not many). It was brutal but completely addictive. I have to go live next time. The atrocious state of young male fashion as evidenced by my weekend in Vegas. Fratboy chic galore at the pool. The GEORGE MICHAEL coiffed "FAITH" beard is alive and well and lives in Vegas... Caught up with JONATHAN SHECTER while I was there. He asked me what my top 3 TV shows are. 1. THE WIRE. 2. THE SOPRANOS. 3. Not sure, but likely BREAKING BAD. You?... CNN's BRIAN STELTER to the sanity rescue again... I can't believe winning Olympic coaches don't get medals... We waited and waited and waited, and then FRANK OCEAN, the most famous ghost in modern pop, graced us with an album, a magazine and another album. All in the space of 48 unexpected hours. People, not at all unexpectedly, have a lot to say about it. Our new MusicREDEF SET - Blond or Blonde: Reviewing Frank Ocean... Top 25 American Film Schools... If this is true I'll be a GNOME doll soon... Happy Birthday to ELISABETH MURDOCH, JOHN BORTHWICK, AMANDA RICHMAN WURTZ, WASS STEVENS and ADAM KANTER. Belated from Sunday to STEVE CASE , TOM PICKETT, JASON LIEBMAN. DARLENE LIEBMAN, and ELIE FINEGOLD.
