SILVER JEWS mastermind David Berman talks to Crawdaddy about the upcoming album: "Because awe can be fearful or joyful, there's so much more range from that point of view, as opposed to the coldly rational one that keeps us alive on the inner rings.

ROSIE O' DONNELL is in active talks with NBC to return to television with her own weekly primetime variety show.  Or is she a fallback if Leno defects entirely to ABC when his Tonight Show gig ends?  Roger Friedman reports it's serious, and O'Donnell could feature all kinds of acts -- from comedy to drama to music -- live from a Broadway theater.
