We all know that Las Vegas has long been a haven for
washed up show business stars, but in the past decade or so we’ve
also become a mecca of sorts for 1990s tabloid fixtures, too. The
list of Las Vegans who earned household-name infamy at the end of
the previous century includes Heidi Fleiss, Mike Tyson, John
Wayne Bobbitt, Gennifer Flowers and, most recently, Mary Jo
Buttafuoco. Steve had lengthy, fascinating conversations with
Flowers and Buttafuoco for a recent Las Vegas Weekly column, but
they’re just too long, even for us, to put both in the same
episode. So here’s what we’re going to do: In this episode we’ll
hear the conversation with Buttafuoco, whose husband’s teenage
girlfriend shot her in the head in 1992, and we’ll put out the
interview with Flowers, Bill Clinton’s original other woman, as a
special edition of the show.

Chinese government meddling, Celine fans love Steve’s tweets, and
more.
