Saturday Night Live has been cranking out sketch comedy platinum, gold and, sometimes, pewter for 34 years. The Lorne Michaels creation has launched countless entertainment careers and has provided us with plentiful water cooler talk on Monday mornings.

Timberlake still totally into his lady friend, not Kate Hudson.
Despite rumors that Justin Timberlake was "was very much acting like a single guy" at Kate Hudson's 30th birthday party last weekend, his girlfriend, Jessica Biel, says she and Justin are still totally together, according to friends who talked to Us Weekly."They have not split," one friend tells the magazine, citing the apartment the couple recently bought in New York City as proof.

Strike.tv heats it up with the online sicom Global Warming.
That's a nice idea. Kristin Wiig, breakout star of a late night television show called Saturday Night Live (2/3 of which airs on Sunday morning, go figure), is taking part in an interwebs initiative called Strike.tv (it's a bit of a mess now). The motivation behind the site is to create an online Network for Hollywood storytellers to make high-quality, scripted shows, and retain their distribution rights and creative control. Also they seek to bring the money (advertisers) to the creators, put 'talent' in contact with representation, and do it all for free. Sounds lucrative. The site … Read More

Durham has given birth to all of Wahlberg's 3 kids, including one a month ago (September 16th). The reportedly devout … Read More

Greg Norman, golf's Great White Shark, is set to marry US tennis great Chris Evert on Saturday. The wedding is going to be a pricey, showy affair and the guest list reads like a who's who of tennis, golf, and entertainment.

The Sunday Telegraph mentions that the wedding is in the Bahamas and that Norman's ex-wife, Laura Andrassy, will certainly not be attending and is in no way bitter. Chevy Chase is slated to attend ("Be the ball, Greggy.") As are … Read More
