Without identifying their sources, CNN today confirmed rumors that Sarah Palin will make an appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend.  It’s still unknown whether Tina Fey will also appear.

“I love her, she’s a hoot and she’s so talented,” Palin said, according to the AP.  “It would be fun to meet her, imitate her and keep on giving her new material.”

God, this is a horrible idea.  Tina Fey hates Sarah Palin, and as dumb as Sarah Palin is, I’m pretty sure the feeling is mutual.  And she’s too dumb for self parody. They’re gonna be like two bitches who hate each other’s guts pretending to be civil when they cross paths at the sorority formal punch bowl.  “Oh my god, I love your dress!” they’ll say, and do the ass out, cheek-to-cheek hug, then as soon as one turns her back the other’s sticking her finger down her and throat making puking noises.  Trust me, I know their type.  Now don’t be shy, ladies, have some more punch.  **wink wink, gun fingaz**

A few different news gossip outlets today are reporting rumors that Sarah Palin might appear on Saturday Night Live.

Some key McCain staffers are content with Palin joking about the “SNL” routines on the campaign trail — as when she scribbled “I’m not Tina Fey” on a supporter’s cell phone [Editor's note: I have no idea what that means] and said she’d dressed as Fey on Halloween. But others — including the governor herself — think a return punch on the NBC airwaves is what’s needed.
I’m hearing some sort of Palin tweak of Fey’s American Express commercials is in the works.

On one hand, it’s always awkward as hell when a politician shows up to pretend they like SNL’s impression of them, especially when it’s clearly motivated by dislike.  On the other, the writer calling it a “Palin tweak of Fey” makes it sound pretty sexy.  It’s almost as if he purposely used nipular language to get us all a titter.  EEEP!!

This weekend Saturday Night Live proved what I’ve always known – just because it’s an easy joke doesn’t mean it’s not funny. Anyway, I just thought I’d post this because I rip on SNL a lot, but I like Jason Sudekis, and I want to have sex with Tina Fey pretending to be Sarah Palin. Oh, and to clarify, Queen Latifah wasn’t hosting, Anne Hathaway was, they just needed Queen Latifah to guest star as Gwen Ifill because Queen Latifah is the only black woman in show business.

I’ve also attached “Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals aka Marky Mark and the Donkey Bunch” after the jump, because it’s GD amazing. Funniest SNL sketch in years, if you ask me. (Please? Someone ask me something? I have so many opinions to share!) Read the rest of this entry »

Opening this weekend (click the title to go to the trailer, genius):

Baby Mama
I’ll admit it: I love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.  They’re like the Abbot & Costello I’d bone after three or four cocktails. 

Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantánamo
Formerly titled Dude, Where’s My Koran? (It’s in the Toilet), it may not turn out to be the best movie ever, but you gotta respect it for a solid marketing campaign.  Neal Patrick Harris riding a unicorn?  Can’t argue with that. 

Deal
See this?  This is me trying desperately not to make a joke about Burt Reynolds’ face.  Damn you, conscience.  You pull this shit one more time and we’re through. 

Deception
Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman star in a movie about a kinky sex club.  No, not with each other!  Why would you ever think that?

Then She Found Me
In Helen Hunt’s directing debut, she plays a schoolteacher who has a midlife crisis.  Bette Midler plays her eccentric talk show host mother, and Colin Firth plays her love interest.  Critics say – oh come on, you’re not actually still reading are you?  I guess it’s better than having your penis shrunk…

Standard Operating Procedure
“An examination of the unintended consequences of the Iraq war with a focus on events at Abu Ghraib prison.”  Should you see this?  Put it this way, if you didn’t get my "Dude Where’s My Koran" joke earlier, you should definitely see this, but we both know you’re going to Harold and Kumar instead.

Via IESB, this is a new featurette for Baby Mama, the upcoming movie from Amy Poehler and Tina Fey (opening April 25th).  It looks fairly humorous, so I just hope they didn’t spoil every joke in the movie.

I don’t know if I’d call either of them "hot" in the traditional sense, but there’s something about Amy Poehler that I find adorable.  Every time I see her do something funny onscreen, it’s like walking in on a litter of baby kittens baking me brownies.  Even if they burn the sides a little bit, I’m still like, "Oh my gosh you guys, great job – let’s snuggle!" 

UPDATE: As suggested by Nix, I added their recent Vanity Fair pics, courtesy of ASocialite’sLIfe, which has the rest.  Hey, how did that get in there!
