There's some "odd couple" news coming from the gossip pages--NYMag is shedding some light on a NY Post print edition item calling out Kristen Wiig for allegedly canoodling with Joe...the (uncertified, republican) Plumber! That's right, folks, "Joe Wurzelbacher, better known as 'Joe the Plumber' was seen at the 'Saturday Night Live' after party 'canoodling' with cast member Kristen Wiig," and (perhaps even more disturbing) "chatting up a major Hollywood agent about starring the in next season of The Bachelor." One witness who saw Joe at his hotel the next day said, "it wouldn’t surprise me if someone got her drain snaked last night...I ran into Joe this morning at the hotel...and ever the gentleman, he refused to reveal more than his mile-wide grin." UPDATE: Psych! NYMag just updated saying this is all a total hoax. Phew! But we hear that Tina Fey and Cindy McCain totally accidentally touched hands at the end of last week's episode. more ›

If Michael Phelps is feeling exhausted from his week preparing to host SNL tomorrow, maybe he'll be pepped up by news that hope is on the way: Barack Obama will be making his second cameo on the show's season premiere. The big question of the week though has been which SNL cast member will play Sarah Palin? While both the Phelps-fantasizing Kristen Wiig and newcomer Casey Wilson have been suggested, there's been a shocking third party mentioned: Tina Fey. However, Lorne Michaels is playing coy and only saying that there have been ongoing talks with Fey to appear tomorrow. Also tomorrow, keep an eye out for local comedian Bobby Moynihan making his debut as SNL's newest cast member. UPDATE: According to an NBC source, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell have "been around" the SNL studios. We're also told that James Franco will host the Sept. 20th show with Kings of Leon as the musical guest. more ›

This Saturday night the Greatest Athlete of Our Time, Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps will host Saturday Night Live. He joins the ranks of many other athletes who have hosted the show before him, but will he be a fish out of water on the stage? (Sorry.) Since he's America's favorite son now, he'll be adored no matter what, and castmember Kristen Wiig is so excited for him to host that she told People: "He's gonna be naked in all the sketches I write, for sure." Maybe he won't be naked, but you know there will be some gratuitous ab shots in there. more ›
