Tempting Timberlake directs his fans to “Vote in the Box.” All of Hollywood is partaking in this movement to sway young peeps to exercise their democratic right to vote; most celebs just cross their fingers and cuss a lot to get the point across. But when JT croons, all the girls swoon, so he rocked an off-the-cuff version of his Emmy-winning SNL ditty at a Vegas “Last Chance for Change” rally last weekend.
KILL YOUR SATURDAY NIGHT PLANS. Sarah Palin is set to appear on SNL this weekend. “It would be fun to meet her, imitate her and keep on giving her new material,” said Palin about potentially sharing the stage with Tina Fey. A certain someone obviously doesn’t realize that the world isn’t laughing with her—just at her. But we’ll keep the vice-presidential nominee in the dark for the time being. I mean, that’s where she’s most comfortable, yeah?
Quote of the Week: “If she wins, I’m done . . . And by ‘I’m done,’ I mean I’m leaving Earth,” said Tina Fey to TVGuide on the topic of Sarah Palin. Whether Fey’s “leaving Earth” would be prompted by the demands of having to impersonate Palin week-after-week for the next four years or the mere idea of a Palin vice-presidency is left to our interpretation, but for the sake of being objective, I’ll tell you—she means the latter.
Sarah Palin, is that you in those fully-loaded stilts? Someone wore a killer pair of pumps to a premier in NYC this past week. Was it gun-’em-down Palin or some other high-profile nutcase with a penchant for pistols and such? Find out here.
OK, so maybe there’s a semi-legit reason behind Madonna’s mean pair of pumps. She and Guy Ritchie are calling it quits after seven years of marriage. Now comes the dreaded tug-of-war over the overstuffed piggy bank. Both parties hope to have everything finalized and wrapped up nicely in a pretty little gift box by Christmas, but we all know that’s about as real as the Clause himself.
Another Too-Good Quote of the Week: “We don’t call them crazed fans, we call them Moms,” said Zac Efron about the crowd that shows up for the High School Musical 3: Senior Year premiers. Think the Disney-backed, sing-song feature film is intended for the itty-bitty-teeny-weeny crowd? Think again. Don’t overestimate the taste of them hockey moms, oh dontcha know . . .
It’s official: the B.S. comeback we’ve all been waiting for. And by “B.S.” I mean Britney Spears. Of course. She released a single off her upcoming album a couple weeks ago and it quickly topped the charts. She debuted the music vid for the hit song on “20/20″ last Friday (cuz the Barb Walters crowd is totally with it, y’all) and pretty much affirmed that she’ll do anything for attention. Squirm around butt naked in a steaming hot sauna? That’s the least of it.
