Kristen Wiig made a surprise appearance on SNL's cold open in what must have been a conscious effort on the part of NBC to stamp out all the The Sound of Music ridicule by spoofing all the spoof out of it. It seems to have worked, though I really think we're still missing an angle. Maybe a naked appearance from… Discuss… 12/08/13 5:00pm Yesterday 5:00pm

IFC just released the preview for their new Funny or Die miniseries The Spoils of Babylon, starring Tobey Maguire and Kristen Wiig. Is it a comedy? Yes! Is it a drama? Yes! Is it something out of one of your more vibrant fever dreams? Absolutely. Read… 10/10/13 3:50pm 10/10/13 3:50pm

Wow! Jimmy Fallon landed an exclusive interview with legendary athlete Michael Jordan! That's impressive enough on its own, but more impressive still is #23's ability to perfectly recall his past and the important events that shaped him as a man and as a professional.

This past Friday, Kristen Wiig, Steve Carell and Chris O'Dowd were all on The Graham Norton Show to promote — I dunno — being funny, likable and good looking or something when they were interrupted mid-interview by a huge, gatecrashing fly described by Wiig as being the size of a bird.

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… Discuss… 5/12/13 12:00pm 5/12/13 12:00pm

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. Read… 5/08/13 12:15pm 5/08/13 12:15pm

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).

After her lil' detour at an electronics store, Lindsay Lohan checked into rehab. Two minutes later, she checked out and derped away quickly, chanting: "I'm not going to rehab. I'm not going to rehab. Take me back to the airport." Read… 5/03/13 9:00am 5/03/13 9:00am

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?), … Read… 4/27/13 11:30am 4/27/13 11:30am

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… Read… 4/20/13 11:30am 4/20/13 11:30am

Hold on to your vodka: Kristen Wiig will guest star in the upcoming season of Arrested Development. Even better, she's playing a young Lucille Bluth.

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.

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… Discuss… 5/20/12 1:30pm 5/20/12 1:30pm

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.
