Two Versions

Not that this is a big deal but there seems to be some question as to whether Angela Lansbury's knee replacement surgery is a result of her accident last Friday night or if it was something already scheduled. Earlier, I linked to a piece on Playbill Online which said it was. Apparently, they later amended the story to say it was not because of the fall, then later put back the earlier version. Right now, that's what's up at this link...

Angela Lansbury will undergo knee-replacement surgery on July 14 as a result of having tripped and fell at a July 8 salute composer Stephen Sondheim at the Hollywood Bowl, Variety reported.

In the meantime, her daughter told the Associated Press that...

Lansbury's daughter Deirdre Battarra says her mother has a lot of pain from years of dancing. Lansbury tripped over an electrical cord Friday night while joining celebrities onstage for Stephen Sondheim's 75th-birthday concert at the Hollywood Bowl. But Battarra says the slip had nothing to do with her mother's surgery plans.

Like I said, not a big deal. But the stories are at least as consistent as any two you'll find on the Internet tonight about Karl Rove.
