SNL VIDEO Watch Snookie on Saturday Night Live Weekend Update

Overnight Jersey Shore sensation Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is taking over television! She’s like an accomplishmentless Sarah Palin who doesn’t dodge questions! And just like Sarah Palin, there is way more demand for Snooki than there is supply so shows are having to clone the hot commodity. Tina Fey was Sarah Palin’s doppelganger and now Bobby Moynihan is confusing folks with his spot-on impersonation of Snooki. Here’s the hilarious video from last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update:

VIDEO Watch both 2010 Valentine’s Day trailers starring Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift, Julia Roberts and every other actor in Hollywood!

There was a time when I thought this movie was an urban myth. Every day I would see a new group of photos from the set of some movie called Valentine’s Day but they always had completely different actors – and not Kathy Griffin “actors” but Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway and Kathy Bates actors! Being too lazy to actually do any research, I came to the conclusion that there must be three movies currently under production with the same title.

NOPE! It’s just one movie with a HUGE ensemble cast! Here are both of the trailers to come out so far, the second of which was just released today!

PHOTOS Katharina Haecker in “The Genteel Elegance of Figure Skating Fail”

Is there anything more graceful than the fluid artistry of a talented figure skater? It is human beauty and dignity floating before our eyes in a seemingly effortless display of poetry in motion, and I thought I might take a brief moment to step away from the brutal and ugly side of humanity usually talked about at length on this blog and pay tribute to the quiet majesty that is the fine art of figure skating.

PHOTOS – Pamela Anderson is a drunk multitasker, juggles champagne and Blackberry while signing autographs

Pamela Anderson is talented. She can juggle a full champagne glass (from her to-go “top off”) a PDA device AND sign autographs for all her fans at the same time – all without a single glittery eye shadow smudge! I’m a little in awe. Forget all those hot messes who can’t hold their meth and…

VIDEOS PHOTO Lil’ Wayne arrested in Texas with a lil’ weed

The US Border Patrol found small traces of marijuana on a couple of rapper Lil’ Wayne’s tour buses (cannibuses?) near the Texas town of Falfurrias and the hip hop (hemp hop?) star is currently being detained, as are 11 others in his posse.

Details are sketchy at this point, but according to TMZ Lil’ Wayne’s entourage were part of a random search by Border Patrol agents that resulted in pot being found on two of the vehicles. It seems pot was not found on any of the persons, and contrary to the misleading headline of this post, no arrests have been made.

Braylon Edwards’ baby mama Nik Pace photos

Things have been a little slow on the Tiger Woods mistress front, so I’m forced to fill the “professional athlete sex scandal” void with some D-list baller boinking. New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards was apparently going deep on former America’s Next Top Model contestant Nik Pace’s tight end and the result was little Braylon Jr., born in August.

According to the New York Post, Braylon immediately filed to be recognized as the boy’s father, but was surprisingly rejected by Pace. The 25-year-old model relocated to New York after Edwards was traded to the Jets and now she is suing him for $70,000 a month child support.
