A Mother's Day sketch on last night's SNL made excellent use of the excellent Kate McKinnon as the over-sharing, judgmental mother to Kristen Wiig's beleaguered adult daughter. Those of you who were thinking of getting your mom a wilted Teleflora bouquet should really reconsider, and maybe just keep them in your sad…
Kristen Wiig, one of biggest stars to have come out of Saturday Night Live in the past decade, will return to the show this weekend as host and — from the looks of it — she, her cast mates and her witch sister couldn't be more excited about it.
Girl Most Likely tells the story of a woman (Kristen Wiig) who, after having a nervous breakdown, must move back in with her mother (Annette Bening) in New Jersey only to find her childhood bedroom has been rented out to a handsome 20-something (Darren Criss).

It's true, nothing gold can stay, and by "gold" I mean "Two and a Half Men, the worst CBS show you're not watching." While Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer have resigned their contracts for a third season (Kutcher at a $700,000-per-episode payout; Cryer at, I don't know, a gum wrapper and a damp Nickelback ticket stub?), …
As Janet Jackson herself predicted in 2001: Maybe we'll meet at a bar / He'll drive a funky car / Maybe he'll be a Qatari-born retail billionaire / And I'll convert to Islam. Sure enough, rumor has it that Jackson has retired from show business for good and adopted the religion of her husband Wissam al-Mana, who she…
The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards — which held its 26th annual event yesterday in Los Angeles — has got to be the most enjoyable awards show ever.

Woot! After a five-month leave of absence to undergo a bone marrow transplant for a rare blood disorder, Robin Roberts has returned to Good Morning America, opening with: "I have been waiting 174 days to say this: 'Good Morning America." She added: "I keep pinching myself and I realize this is real. This is actually…
IMHO, Naomi Watts has always been the more endearing half of the blonde, icy "Aussie Posse" best-friend duo that includes herself and Nicole Kidman. Watts, who got a Lead Actress Academy Award nod for her role in The Impossible, is filming a 60 Minutes CBS segment as part of their pre-Oscars nominee special. But when…
The January edition of Vanity Fair is the "first ever comedy issue," guest-edited by Judd Apatow. There are three different covers, featuring groups of comedians. Unlike the April 2009 issue
I don't totally understand this story, but that doesn't mean I don't still want to marry it. During her speech at Elle's Women in Hollywood dinner last night, Kristen Wiig took a moment to fill everyone in on the status of her troublingly reticent dumps.
Last night was Elle's 19th Annual Women In Hollywood Celebration, held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, and celebs dressed up to steal the spotlight: Some wore vivid blues; others donned crisp whites; Lea Michele chose see-through netting.
After serious journalistic reports came in that Sofia Vergara was wearing a "sparkly ring," we sat up all night, vigilant, waiting to see if she had indeed been proposed to on her Mexican vacation with boyfriend Nick Loeb. (Remember that scene in Secretary when she's sitting at the desk in her wedding gown for days…
In this week's TV roundup, The Simpsons goes Gaga, Girls goes to Michigan, Anderson finds someone "dreadful" and the kids of Glee graduate.
You know how Channing Tatum was in approximately one zillion movies this year? Next year belongs to Kristen Wiig. Saturday marked Wiig's final performance as a Saturday Night Live castmember, but she has plenty of work ahead of her: She's in six movies to be released between now and 2014.
In her first official appearance since her mom Whitney Houston's death, Bobbi Kristina kept it cool and classy as she spoke about her mother at the Billboard Music Awards.

If you need a good cry this Sunday, look no further than Kristen Wiig holding back her own tears as she dances with each of her cast mates in turn to Mick Jagger singing "She's a Rainbow." Another era of SNL fades away, just in time for the desultory amble of summer. Don't mourn Wiig's departure too long, though — she's…
In case you were wondering if the world was going to be filled with tiny, even more adorkable versions of Zooey Deschanel anytime soon, the answer is probably not. In an interview with Marie Claire, Zooey was pretty clear that raising kids is not on the top of her priority list now—or maybe ever. So what does she want…
Even the deleted scenes from the 'Real Housewives of Disney' sketch are better than most of what actually aired on Lindsay Lohan's stewardship of SNL.

It's been said that women aren't funny. And when Bridesmaids was released, at least one dude claimed it was "more alarming than actually funny" and noted "it goes on for what seems like forever."
