8:51AM Brian Moylan | If you saw Bridesmaids you probably thought it was hysterical.

8:23AM Richard Lawson | Here’s a trailer for the Judd Apatow-produced comedy Bridesmaids, a movie that may finally solve that age-old debate about whether women, the ones with the vaginae, can be funny or not. Judging from this trailer, it looks like they can! More »

Kristen Wiig’s Steamy Night With Joe The Plumber An Internet Hoax!
6:17AM Seth | An internet report from a self-proclaimed “McCain strategist” claiming Joe the Plumber got busy with Kristin Wiig following the SNL afterparty—and also discussed becoming the next Bachelor with Ben Affleck’s agent, Patrick “Something”—is now looking more and more to be a hoax, hoisted upon a gullible and Wiig-hungry gossip nation.
