6:57AM John Cook | The Olive Garden has pulled its ads from rapes-with-his-mouth David Letterman’s late-night show about impregnating 14-year-old girls. Why would they do that? Because the PUMA crowd threatened a boycott. Of course. Wait, remember them? More »

11:46AM Jess McGuire | Apparently Hillary Clinton is considering a trip Down Under… and not in the lesbian-college-attending, butch-haircut-rubbing, totally-lacking-in-maternal-instincts kind of way the haters kept banging on about a couple of years ago. It’s because she’s the Secretary Of State, y’all.
Hillary Clinton’s first trip as Secretary of State could include Australia under a plan being considered by the State Department.
While nothing has been decided, the State Department is considering adding Australia and Indonesia to a North Asian visit that could start as early as next week.
How tremendously exciting! Maybe this will help stop Kevin Rudd’s tears over having to wait so damn long before Barack Obama, undoubtedly feeling pressure from The Australian, bothered to call him? We can only hope.

Is it The Job of ‘SNL’ To Be Fair and Balanced?
3:00AM Kyle Buchanan | Saturday Night Live has a long, storied history of political satire, a reputation that was only burnished after this past Saturday’s well-received Tina Fey-as-Sarah Palin skit. The venerable comedy institution has been known to move the cultural dial with some of its depictions, whether it was the spring sketch that famously declared the media to be “in the tank” for Barack Obama or its 2000 impersonation of Al Gore as a “lockbox”-brandishing scold. Still, we’re a bit puzzled by some of the quotes from an event held Monday at the Museum of the Moving Image, where Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler, and Lorne Michaels met to discuss their satirical process: More »
Inside The Obama-Starring ‘SNL’ Premiere That Never Happened
8:05AM Defamer Hollywood | While the Tina Fey-as-Sarah Palin cold opening attracted some of Saturday Night Live’s best notices in years (and best ratings, too — it was the highest-rated season premiere since the 2001 opener following the 9/11 attacks), nothing else that followed had quite the same water cooler buzz. However, if the show had been able to stick to its original plan, there would have been at least one other moment that would have had people talking: a Barack Obama cameo. Though the presidential candidate was forced to cancel due to Hurricane Ike, Michaels reveals to the Washington Post exactly how he would have been used (and what other surprise celebrities got involved as a result):
