The Sappiest Place on Earth: A new theme park opened in London today dedicated to Abba, the ’70s Swedish pop group known for hits including “Dancing Queen” and “Mamma Mia.” Among the exhibits, visitors to AbbaWorld can dance and sing next to a video holograph of the band.

Bam! Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse later this spring will launch a new talk show on the ION television network that will blend music, celebrities and food in a show taped before a live audience and with music from a house band.
“The Emeril Lagasse Show,” will air at 8 p.m. Sundays. Or at least until Jay Leno decides he wants to do that show, too.
