Emma Stone's latest movie, "The Help," opened this weekend to big box office numbers.

And the young actress kept herself busy promoting the film in advance of its big day -- including an appearance on Jimmy Fallon, wherein she and Fallon poke fun at "Teen Nick" in a hilarious sketch.

Check out her appearance below.

What do you think? Let us know if you saw her movie -- and what you thought of it if so!


Miley Cyrus showed she's game for a little self-mockery on last night's episode of Saturday Night Live, when she went head to head with her evil (or actually, rather innocent?) twin -- the show's Vanessa Bayer, whose hilarious take on the former Disney star has earned her a lot of attention this season. 

But Miley didn't go on has herself, obviously. So who did she mock in her appearance on "The Miley Cyrus Show"?  One word: Bieber.

Check out the clip below: 

lilo.jpgLindsay Lohan was one of a slew of celebrities to appear in a new PSA for the American Jewish World Service, a non-profit organization that works to fight hunger, disease and poverty in the developing world. Lohan, who appeared alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Andy Samberg, Jerry Seinfeld, Tracy Morgan and Sarah Silverman, promoted the humanitarian work of the AJWS -- and joked about her notoriously poor financial situation. 

"Hi, I'm Lindsay Lohan and I'm not Jewish but I am happy to be here," Lohan said before adding, "these things pay well, right?" 

 Check out the video below. And learn more about the AJWS here.

Glee's Jane Lynch Hosts SNL

J56657342.jpegane Lynch -- aka Sue Sylvester from Glee -- hosted late-night comedy show Saturday Night Live this weekend, and she was characteristically hilarious, charming, and generally impossible to dislike. And Lynch doled out plenty of love to her millions of Glee fans: She paid homage to the show in a Gilly/Glee sketch, wherein she appeared in that iconic(?) red track suit while Kristen Wiig disrupted the gleeks' rehearsals as much with her maniacal violence as with her spastic dance moves. She also sang a little number about her character in her opening monologue for the show. And it was amazing.

Here it is.

Judging A Book By Its Cover: Tina Fey's Bossypants.jpeg
In 2008, Tina Fey sold a book of Nora Ephron-style funny personal essays -- which I suspect will be worth however many millions Little, Brown paid for it. (As long as it doesn't cost me any more than $20, that is!) Now, it looks like the book may finally make its way to the bookstore shelves sometime soon. After all, it has a title -- "Bossypants" -- and a cover, which we have pasted here for your enjoyment.

The cover, and perhaps even the title -- and if we're lucky, also the actual book (which counts for something, too, don't forget!) -- will most likely get people talking once again about what it means to be a powerful, funny woman in an industry (/world) known for being dominated by men. 

One of the things that is so great about Tina Fey is that she manages to bring issues like the aforementioned to the table without alienating certain groups that might otherwise be loathe to go there. How does she do this? Well, it helps that she's really smart, and also that she undeniably knows what she's talking about. Being tough and funny is also about 96% of it. But I also think that Fey is great at beating sexism at its own game: Which is to say, disguising important (but perhaps unpopular to talk about) issues with straight goofiness -- so that people are thinking about certain things in a new way without even realizing it.

Jenny Slate's Viral Video Campaign

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
If you're a loyal follower of SNL, perhaps you are aware of Jenny Slate, the 28-year-old comedienne who made her debut on the late-night sketch show last fall. Slate's tenure on SNL was brief -- she didn't get asked back this season -- but the actress is carving out a new name for herself with a series of viral videos she's released in the past few weeks. 

The first, Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, points to a quirkier brand of comedy that never quite made its way onto SNL -- and it's too bad. This sketch is really, really funny. The second, Bestie x Bestie 1 is actually a little more along the lines of a sketch that might have made it onto the show -- and it's also pretty great. 

Check out the two videos below:
