Hollywood arrived at the�annual Allen & Co investment conference in Sun Valley�today -- but I don't know why. It'll be a�showbiz snorefest.�Because only�"A Conversation With Oprah Winfrey" is scheduled and no one is interested unless she comes clean about how much money she's caused Discovery's David Zaslav to piss away. That's a departure from last�year when showbiz came�back into favor at Camp Allen because of an "Entertainment Panel" consisting of Barry Diller, Peter Chernin, Jeff Katzenberg, and Bobby Kotick (the CEO/president of Activision Blizzard).�The YouTube/Twitter types will participate in "The New Breed" panel. And Bill Gates interviews Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. Otherwise, there's an emphasis on overseas:�"Building A Business In China" confab, "Mexico Today", "The Middle East", a sit-down with Jordan's King Abdullah II (who just endorsed a�Cabinet reshuffle on Saturday in the wake of scandals and resignations), a confab about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a how-to panel on "Managing Global Enterprises in Turbulent Times". Also speaking will be Brigadier General Loree Sutton (the highest ranking psychiatrist in the US army), New Jersey Governor Chris Christie,�and panelists�for�"Managing Hyper-Growth Companies".�Gone are�the Friday night dildos. Or the sandwich boards for out-of-work moguls. Gawd, Camp Allen isn't worth covering anymore.
