Tina Fey Introduces The Sarah Palin Network

April 11, 2010


Barack Obama wasn’t a big fan of Sarah Palin’s uninformed criticism of his nuclear arms treaty with Russia this week.

But at least the President, along with all rational human beings, can take solace in Palin’s existence for one reason only: it’s enabled Tina Fey to deliver the best satire television has seen in years.

The actress was at it again last night, impersonating the former Alaskan Governor (and current professional, paid speaker of BS) on Saturday Night Live. Fey introduced viewers to The Sarah Palin Network, which is comprised of the following programs:

  • Are You Smarter Than a Half-term Governor?
  • Tea Party Wheel of Fortune (Example of a puzzle: Obama is a Terrist)
  • Hey, Journalist, I Gotcha! (Where “I re-edit my interviews with journalists to make it look like they were the ones that were woefully unprepared.”)
  • Man in a Helicopter with a Sniper Rifle vs. Wild

It takes a lot to upstage Justin Bieber on the show, but Fey did it with this great skit. Watch below.

Justin Bieber on SNL: OMG!


We all know Justin Bieber can sing.

And there’s no debate that the 16-year old, with the number-one album in the country, can look adorable.

But the teen sensation proved he possesses a couple acting chops last night, appearing in a pair of Saturday Night Live skits. First, he turned Tina Fey into a cougar, unable to resist the cute charms of Bieber’s student. See what we mean now:

Then, he showed up near the end of another skit, slow-dancing with the luckiest SNL cast member alive.

Peep that video below and sound off: Did you watch Bieber on the show? What did you think?

Jon & Kate Plus 8: Reloaded?!


They couldn’t go back to their old TV show or start a new version of it after all they’ve been through … could they? Apparently one of them could at least. Jon Gosselin is “definitely open” to co-starring with ex-wife Kate, his lawyer said.

Whether it would be a new show or a revamped Jon & Kate Plus 8 remains to be seen, but “under the right circumstances” Jon would totally be down.

The only caveat, his attorney Anthony F. List stated, is that “the contract would have to be tighter.” As would the leash Kate had him on, most likely.

Jon’s lawyer said having Jon and Kate around the kids more would be a plus, and that he’d “love to settle” their latest legal dispute that he made up.

Yeah, settle as in get him off the hook for child support maybe.

Hair Club For MenKate is Not Great

JON & KATE PLUS ANOTHER SHOW? Don’t count it out.

The douchebag filed legal papers asking for primary custody and support last week, citing Kate’s Dancing with the Stars gig as proof she’s an absentee mom.

While it’s kind of a BS argument, as she provides for the kids while he parades around chasing mediocre girls, Jon says he is prepared to press on with it.

Unless Kate cancels her “global commitments, that is.” 

Jon (hypocritically) feels Kate is “addicted to the pararazzi” and can’t have it both ways as a star and an attentive parent. As opposed to himself … neither.

He says even if his former spouse is booted from Dancing with the Stars Tuesday (which Tony Dovolani is hoping for) he won’t be dropping his custody case.

Kate is “caught up in the glamour of Hollywood” and will take other job, he says. Which he is outraged by … unless she cuts him in on it, then it’s all good!

Who deserves custody of the Gosselin kids?

Jersey Shore to Return to Actual Jersey Shore, Beef Up Security After South Beach Trip


The cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore has brought its GTL, bed-hopping, first-pumping antics to Miami’s South Beach for Season 2, but that’s just the beginning.

Lest you thought Seaside Heights, N.J., was a thing of the past, the gang will be returning to the Garden State – in the very same house – don’t you worry.

They just got a jump on Season 2 in Miami because of the weather.

“Once the boardwalk heats back up, the series will return to the Jersey Shore to complete the season,” MTV said, noting that the season starts July 29.

The Cast of Jersey Shore

All the lovable guidos and guidettes will beat up the beat again: Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Sammi Giancola, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Vinny Guadagnino.

Also returning? Angelina Pivarnick, a.k.a. the random girl who bailed after like one episode, and a.k.a. Kim Kardashian of Staten Island (self-proclaimed).

The network is also exploring adding new cast members to the second season or more likely the third season of the surprise reality hit. Filming dates in Seaside are July 1-September 19, so it looks like a third season is in the works.

“It’s like a big family reunion,” said Tony DiSanto, MTV’s president of programming. “We couldn’t be more excited that the whole group is together in Miami and that they’ll be going back to Jersey when the sun heats up.”

Also heating up? Tempers. MTV worries that more peeps will pick fights with Snooki, Ronnie and company just to get on TV (the stars will likely oblige).

The network has requested additional police presence for the cast. According to the Seaside Heights P.D., MTV wants 8-10 off-duty officers – their tab.
