SNL to Hire Real Live Black Man to Play Prez

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:50:00 +0000

Welp, Lorne Michaels has (begrudgingly, we're sure) decided to hire a new cast member for Saturday Night Live, this one a black male who can pretend to be Barack Obama in poorly written comedy sketches for the next four to eight years. Currently, Fred Armisen, who's of Hispanic, European and Japanese descent, plays the role of Obama on SNL.

After the jump, two of the front-runners in the search for the fake Barack, Wyatt Cenac and Jordan Carlos. We think Carlos has him beat, but who knows! SNL hasn't made any good decisions in years.

EVERYBODY CALM DOWN • "Paris Hilton and Benji Madden may not be broken up for long. 'Right now, we're just taking a break,' Hilton, 27, told Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show Friday. 'We're really good friends. We're very close.'"

What In The Sam Hill Is Going On Here?

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:21:34 +0000

Lipstick Jungle, the NBC Sex and the City-style show that's still in danger of being axed from the network's prime-time lineup, must be getting really desperate to create a buzz. On the show's "behind the scenes" YouTube channel, a video just went up with this caption: "Oh. My God. You're NEVER gonna believe what I caught on the set of Lipstick Jungle!!! Robert Buckley AKA Kirby OUT OF CONTROL!!! AND HOTTER THEN EVER!! GRRRR!!!"

Uh, no. We're not going to complain about Robert Buckley stripping down to his skivvies, but this is so painfully set up and awkward that we can't help but roll our eyes. How did this one show get so out of touch with reality?

Finally, More Info On 'A Shot At Love' With The Classy Ikki Twins

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:51:29 +0000

It's about time someone finally gave us more information on the latest installment of MTV's A Shot at Love with the Ikki Twins, Rikki and Vikki. The reality competition, a sure sign of the end of days, will begin Dec. 9 with 12 straight men and 12 gay women vying for the affections of these STD-ridden whores.

So who are these women who will soon capture the hearts of Americans both young and old? They have quite a resume, having worked for Hooters, Import Tuner, Fast & Sexy and Playboy. And for those of you hoping to romance the women, listen up: Rikki says she likes to "watch the Padres at Hooters and have the date take care of the bill" while Vikki prefers to "be in a bikini and there'll be candles, a blanket on the sand and a big bowl of chocolate!" Klassy.

Oprah's Favorite Things, Hobo Style

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:01:11 +0000

See these smiling, joyous faces? They won't be around this year, because Oprah is no longer doing her Favorite Things, thanks to the flatlining economy. Well, technically she is, but it's all going to be stuff she dug out of a dumpster in her studio's back alley. According to Harpo, the show "will showcase some of Winfrey's things that cost next to nothing, including a special gift that won't cost a thing."

Did you hear that? Hugs for everyone!

Sarah Palin Still Making Us Laugh

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:14:42 +0000

In honor of Thanksgiving, Sarah Palin performed one of our favorite traditions, pardoning a turkey. That's great and heartwarming and all, until she conducts a post-pardon interview with turkeys being killed in the background. Fantastic.

BRIT'S HANDLERS STILL IN DENIAL • "Although Britney Spears admits in a new film that she 'totally lost my way, lost focus, lost myself,' that won't stand in the way of her comeback, says her manager.

[But] every day, I see her getting happier and stronger.'"

David Letterman Robocalls Katie Couric

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:35:51 +0000

David Letterman, still irked that John McCain chose to go on Katie Couric instead of his show, calls up the perky CBS news anchor and demands an explanation. Her excuse? McCain never mentioned that he was supposed to be on The Late Show.

What a liar! Also, keep ridin' that zeitgeist, Dave!
