The Latest on Pat O'Brien
Well, let's first go to my favorite blog source for all things Pat:

Our rehab clinic volleyball team is now 2-0. We beat Billy Joel's team yesterday....

But then Pat O'Brien broke out his mandolin and challenged Joel to a musical duel.

"What? Is the 'Piano Man' chicken?" he taunted.

Fortunately, Billy Joel took the high road and ignored him....


Other sources report:

"The Insider" anchor Pat O'Brien will likely be back in front of the camera by May.

The 57-year-old O'Brien, who checked himself into an alcohol rehab program in late March, is set to complete the program and return to the syndicated showbiz-news program in time for May sweeps, the New York Post reports. He's also likely to be the subject of a sit-down interview upon his return.

A number of would-be interviewers are angling for the get, but the paper reports that talk-show host Dr. Phil McGraw is the favorite. Both McGraw's show and "The Insider" are distributed by divisions of megia giant Viacom....

O'Brien checked into rehab on March 20, saying that getting past the problem "is a top priority in my life." At the same time, he was facing the revelation of voice-mail recordings, reportedly left by O'Brien for a female acquaintance, that graphically describe a number of sex acts.


Doctor Phil?

Oh well, it could have been worse. It could have been Oprah.
