SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE IN THE SENATE.... As of late yesterday, we have a reasonably strong sense of what to expect in the Senate with regards to the health care debate. We don't yet know how it's going to turn out,...
Ashlee Simpson created a huge ordeal after her lip synch performance on Saturday Night Live. If you saw this performance, you were probably shocked that anyone would actually go on a live show and lip synch during their song. Ashlee was also booed when she gave a sub par performance during a Orange Bowl halftime show [...] This post was written by the Super Media Blog Ashlee Simpson Saturday Night...
The best-kept secret in Washington has nothing to do with nuclear codes or Dick Cheney's undisclosed location. It's this: Al Gore is actually pretty funny. Funny enough, in fact, that he managed to raise a daughter who wrote for "Futurama." (Also "Saturday Night Live," but let's just forgive her for that.) Gore does pop up now and then doing cameos in various comedies -- like Thursday...
This is JLo's new single. And it's called "Louboutins" (pronounced " Looweebatons " in JLo-talk). I understand if the song title alone makes you want to shut down this browser window, open up your iTunes and punch it really really hard. I understand. Because once you realize this song is not a Digital Short from Saturday Night Live, you really won't be laughing. This shit may be...
"Against an enemy . How good bad music and bad reasons sound when one marches against an enemy!"--Friedrich Nietzsche, The Dawn SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE . Health care reform faces a crucial vote in the Senate this weekend. SQUANDERED TRUST . Being too nice to bad banks may have more than financial costs. THIS COULD BE AMUSING .

Funnyman Eddie Murphy has been on the national stage for nearly 30 years now, so it’s understandable that audiences think they know the comedian and actor inside and out. Here are five things you might not know about the man who brought Axel Foley to life: 1. He Knew What He Wanted to Be [...]
This report is from Star Magazine, so of course there’s a good possibility it’s crap. But for some reason, I always believe the rumors about Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. I actually like Drew - even though I think she’s more in love with love than with any guy. I think she’s [...]
In the NBC comedy "Parks and Recreation," Amy Poehler plays Leslie Knope, an upbeat, low-level bureaucrat determined to make the fictional town of Pawnee, Ind., a better place. Leslie's cheerful, tireless ambition in the face of cynics is echoed by series...
Dan Aykroyd. The "Saturday Night Live" alum and one-half of the Blues Brothers brings Crystal Head Vodka, his Canada-made elixir with roots based in mythology, to the metro area for bottle signings today and Saturday.
Last night we went to The Museum Gala at the American Museum of Natural History . I have fond memories of visiting this museum when I was a kid; it's always great fun to back as a grown-up. Cocktail hour in the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda: The dinosaur skeletons are as giant as I remembered: All smiles with Chappy during cocktails: Many cast members of Saturday Night Live were at the benefit: Dinner...
Andy Samberg was in Chicago this past Sunday at a YLD event. Switching gears, Bazer and Samberg discussed the comedian’s Jewish identity. He said his parents raised him with a strong cultural Jewish identity, but, at first, not a particularly religious one. One day his sister, in the fifth grade at the time, came home from her Jewish day school and said, “We’re way more Jewish than...

Julian Casablancas I Wish It Was Christmas Today The Strokes' frontman takes a foray into the dangerous world of the Christmas single with this sparky cover of a song that was originally 'Saturday Night Live' parody.
My monthly deadline has been met, so I can return to the land of the blogging. This afternoon while working I was listening to the 1980 DEVO album Freedom of Choice, which I've always thought was their best. I remembered that when the album came out, the band made an appearance on the ABC late-night show Fridays (which was a short-lived attempt to emulate the success of Saturday Night Live) that
Taylor Swift sang, “You might think I might say/something bad about Kanye/and how he ran up on the stage and ruined my VMA monolgue/but there’s nothing more to say/because eberything’s okay/I’ve got security lining the stage.” She also took a jab at “Joe” (that is, Joe Jonas) and sang that we might expect her to say something about “dating the werewolf from Twilight” — but instead, she silently mouthed...
