The Super Bowl of Love... finally.

Dave Letterman announced yesterday that Oprah Winfrey has relented in her cold shoulder towards him and has agreed to appear on his show on December 1. If you are unfamiliar, Letterman has been pleading with Oprah on his show for years now to please come visit him. Her visit will coincide with the opening of The Color Purple as a Broadway musical the same day.

Incidentally, what's the deal with making The Color Purple into a Broadway musical? Was that absolutely necessary?
