Here are a few things in news, sports, entertainment and pop culture that we've been talking about lately.

■ Regis Philbin announces that he'll retire from his daily talkfest with Kelly Ripa while Keith Olbermann leaves his MSNBC politics show. Are we the only ones salivating at the thought of "Live with Keith and Kelly"?

■ UNLV wants to build a stadium near Thomas & Mack Center. Well, putting it in the same area code as the university is certainly a good start.

■ MTV will bring this year's spring break event to the Palms. What, Las Vegas now feels a need to import drunken college students?

■ Oprah Winfrey announces to a national TV audience that she has a half sister she never knew she had. Oprah: Turning self-involvement into entertainment for 25 years.
