At a rally in Florida this morning, Sarah Palin defended her gaffes, saying she was "Just trying to keep Tina Fey in business." She kinda hammed it up, too:
Haha, you can tell it kind of gets to her! While Sarah Palin's ridiculousness has launched Tina into the stratosphere, I don't know if the recent Emmy winner who just signed a six million dollar deal for just the idea of a book needs Sarah's help to stay in business. And Tina herself has said she hopes to get out of this particular business on November 5.
Gwyneth Paltrow is just "a mother of two from Britain" so when she got the call from a handbag company called Tod's asking her to star in this new 7-minute-long commercial directed by Dennis Hopper, she was probably like "Will the space be clean and feel nice? I like spaces that are clean and feel nice." and they said yes, so she did it.
Does that work on Europeans? I bet she got a million dollars for that.
Whoa, leave it to a pro like Annie Hathaway to host the best episode of SNL since her Get Smart co-star Steve Carell showed us how it was done in last spring's season finale. Looking around the internet, everyone's all "Tina Fey as Sarah Palin at the debate!" and "Mark Wahlberg talks to animals!", both funny sketches. But my favorite sketch from this episode isn't even on the internet (well, it is now.) The top five after the jump.

The Partnership For A Drug Free America has a new spokesthing: Patsy, the mom who tries her best but, well, just can't seem to talk to her kids about drugs in a way that works. The videos are shot as if they were made by Patsy, a sort of Michael Scott of moms, and posted as if they were her own vlogs:
I watched all the videos on Patsy's YouTube channel, and what I learned was that there actually might not be a cool way to talk to teens about drugs. I just want everyone in the world to see that video, so when I yell "Do you know what weed is?" in the general direction of one of my friends taking a shower, they'll get the joke.
As part of his famous-again tour, Steve Guttenberg did an elevator interview with Dave Hill for New York Magazine's "Going Up With Dave Hill." He shares some valuable advice given to him by Woody Harrelson about why he can dress like shit:
(Via New York Mag.) "Did emotions run high?" Dave Hill is the best.
Wow, if we need a break from everyone talking about the economy and the debates this weekend, we can talk about the 7-year-old boy who broke into a zoo in Australia and fed animals to a crocodile. And it was caught on security tape:
It's impossible to tell what kind of serial killer that kid is going to grow up to be. Only in Australia, folks, only in Australia.

After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
The Boondock Saints is unique to the Hunt. So far we have definitely had a couple of nominees that are renowned for being terrible (Battlefield Earth, I Know Who Killed Me, Hudson Hawk), but this is the first film to...
Blogging about TV and movies isn't all fun and videogames. Every week, Lindsay or Gabe will be presented with a physical or mental challenge that tests their bravery, patience, and taste.
The Challenge: Despite being averse to cameras, teamwork, exotic foods, travel, haircuts, and physical exertion, I have to submit an audition tape to Survivor. The Result: As with the Saw marathon challenge, once again I find myself rocking back and...
