The Costello Show

About the only useful information in the glossy Fashion supplement that came bundled with my New Yorker yesterday (not that I didn't look at it, of course): Elvis Costello will host his own talk show, called Spectacle, on the Sundance Channel, starting on Dec. 3. It's mostly going to feature musicians, though Bill Clinton has apparently taped an episode (in which, we can only hope, he will finally be held accountable for one of the great scandals of his public career--his reported love for Kenny G). A commenter on the Sundance site says the Smokey Robinson show is one to watch for. I'll be watching them all, natch.
