“Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak had to have emergency surgery last week to fix a blocked intestine. While he is recovering, the taping of “Wheel” must go on. Who else is there to step in as host but the one and only Vanna White! While the show films its “Disney Week,” Mickey Mouse will take over Vanna’s letter-turning duties.

A fan is suing Madonna for starting her concert too late. A man who bought tickets to her “Madame X” tour in Miami filed a class action lawsuit, claiming he could not function properly at work the day after she did not take the stage until 10:30pm when the ticket said it started at eight. Madonna has been known to keep her audiences waiting. Just last week, she didn’t take the stage in Las Vegas until after midnight, and she entered to a crowd of boos. She didn’t seem to mind.
