Tina Fey’s Confirmed ‘SNL’ Appearance is News to Tina Fey

8:00AM STV | By now everyone has heard Ben Silverman’s soggy rationale for reintroducing 30 Rock so late in the fall season — everyone except Tina Fey, it appears, whose sit-down today with the Associated Press revealed that she doesn’t know when or even if she will revive her recurring Sarah Palin gig on Saturday Night Live. An NBC spokesperson corroborated the network’s uncertainty. Who to believe? More »

Kim Kardashian and Defamer Tipster Go To War Over Car Accident ‘Rashomon’

8:15AM Kyle Buchanan | After one of our operatives wrote in last week to tell us the story of how Kim Kardashian’s black Escalade (and bad attitude) held up rescue vehicles headed for a car accident, Kardashian herself repaired to her blog to set the record straight. Or did she? After reading Kardashian’s missive, our tipster wrote in to rebut it, claim by claim. Kardashian: “I find it very odd that a man involved in a car accident would write a blog right away, instead of focusing on what’s going on with the accident.” Tipster: It’s not like I was standing in the intersection banging away on my sidekick – OMG, KK in person!!! – xo xo, gossip girl. And I wasn’t in the accident. I stuck around to help the bleeding dude get out of this car, then I directed traffic til help got there, gave my number to the cops if they needed to call me as a witness, then continued on my run. I got back home and was so pissed off that someone would act like that, that I bitched about it to my friends on the phone. Then I sat down and bitched to the virtual friends at defamer, who I figured would share my consternation. Much more, after the jump: More »

Owen Wilson: It’s Kate’s Fault! No, It’s The Royal Tenenbaums’ Fault! NO, It’s Steve Coogan’s!!

10:33AM Clem Bastow | As we all continue to clutch at straws regarding Owen Wilson’s recent misfortune, now Courtney Love has spoken out in support of Wilson – and reckons it’s all Steve Coogan’s fault. Glad to have cleared it up at last! Coogan and Wilson appeared together in A Night At The Museum and apparently became party buddies, to the dismay of Kate Hudson – and, evidently, Courtney, who thinks Coogan’s hard-living ways are to blame. While Coogan’s peeps have already released a statement rebutting Love’s comments, the Mail reckons Love isn’t alone in her thoughts: Wilson’s friends have privately placed the blame for Owen’s problems squarely on Coogan, who has battled his own demons. The comedian, who starred alongside Wilson in several films, has admitted to drug-taking and being a serial womaniser – traits which his new friend has also been accused of. All we need now in this sorry saga is for the Scientologists to come out and offer their support to Owen (whilst having a jab at the psychiatry he is no doubt receiving) and for Owen to be interviewed by Barbara Walters, and we’ll be able to sleep happily and soundly.
