Tina Fey Thinks Sarah Palin Should Host SNL
Tonight is the season premiere of 30 Rock, and though we've already seen the episode online, Tina Fey has been making the morning show rounds promoting its televised debut. Earlier today, she talked to Matt Lauer about Sarah Palin, giving a few more details about their interactions. Tina thinks ol' Caribou Barbie would be a great SNL host, and she says that Palin was very "nice." However, Tina also said that if McCain is elected, she will not return to play Sarah Palin on SNL ever again. Clip above. More » -

Angelina & Matt Lauer Discuss Beauty, Adopting More Children
Angelina Jolie was on Today this morning to promote her new film, the Clint Eastwood-directed Changeling. Estee Lauer (apparently, that's Matt Lauer's nickname at work because he wears so much makeup) asked Angie what it's like to be so beautiful, and if it's difficult when people can't see beyond the surface to recognize her true talent. She was really humble in her answer, because obviously, 1) no one feels bad for her that she's gorgeous, and 2) her talent actually has been recognized. She has an Oscar. Anyway, her face lit up when she talked about how cute her kids are. We know that no one's perfect, but she seriously comes really close. Clip above. -

Candace Bushnell Is Still Writing About A New York We Don't Know
Candace Bushnell stopped by Today this morning to kick off what she calls "The Candace Bushnell Week," referring to the releases of the Sex and the City: The Movie DVD and her latest book, One Fifth Avenue and the return of the show she executive produces, Lipstick Jungle. One Fifth Avenue sounds a lot like Bushnell's other work, as it focuses on — wait for it — wealthy social-climbers in Manhattan. Bushnell says the book is a microcosm of New York City, since it's about people trying to live in an exclusive building; there's even a character that's a hedge fund manager! Clip above.

Heidi Klum: "Sometimes, Honestly, I Can't Handle My Voice"
Lovably wacky Ms. Heidi Klum was on Today this morning, and Matt Lauer noted that she put her fingers in her ears when the Project Runway clip ran. "I sometimes wonder when people actually copy me… and they make me sound so German," she said. "But then I see myself." Matt was all, "It does sound a tad German, by the way." They went on to discuss the fifth season of PR, and the fact that this could be the last season the show is on Bravo. Matt suggested he just lock Heidi in the studio to keep Heidi at NBC (which owns Bravo). Heidi quipped, "You can be Tim Gunn!" Heidi also said of the network, "I don't have a problem here."

Matt Lauer Is Scared Of Tipsy Stay At Home Moms
The Today show tackled the new terror plaguing our nation: day drinking mamas. According to expert Dr. Charles Sofie, modern moms have jobs, husbands and household responsibilities, and this "stress" is driving them straight to the bottle. The problem is, many of these margarita swilling moms get behind the wheel of the minivan after a few cocktails and put the lives of our nation's children in danger!!! Since they don't even use fake-y statistics, I'm guessing this entire thing is made up to keep moms from ever enjoying themselves without guilt. That said: don't drink and drive, ladies! -

Mischa Barton Fights The Battle Of The (Digitally Enhanced?) Bulge
- Mischa Barton claims she is a PhotoShop Of Horrors victim: A new batch of paparazzi beach shots showed her legs riddled with cellulite. "Those photos are doctored," Barton's rep, Lisa Perkins, says. "I'm not saying she's perfect, nobody is. But they've given a 22-year-old woman the legs and bottom of an 80-year-old." The pix were taken by the dude she's pissed at for snapping topless shots; the same one who ran Nicole Kidman off of the road. [Rush & Molloy]
- You can see the pictures here, with a regular paparazzi shot as well. Photoshop? [Daily Mail]
- Apparently Mariah Carey wanted a $3 million wedding with doves and orchids and Nick Cannon wanted to get married ASAP with no fuss. Mariah agreed because, as she has said, "We really do feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me." Aww, that should be sweet but somehow it's fucking annoying. [Mirror]
- Lindsay Lohan: Seen doing shots of tequila with Lauren Conrad! LL turned her back so no one would see; unfortunately she was facing a window and the whole bar could see her reflection. Whoops! [Rush & Molloy]
- Meanwhile: You know how Lindsay had finally gotten a movie role? In that Manson Girls flick? Well she's been kicked off of the project. Producers "discovered that they couldn't find any name actresses who wanted to co-star with her," says Nikki Finke. [Deadline Hollywood via ONTD]

Tom Cruise Stays Seated For His Sitdown With Oprah
The first part of the much-hyped, two-part Oprah interview with Tom Cruise aired today. Oprah and Tom sat down in Tom's home in Telluride, Colorado, and Tom was on his best behavior. If we didn't already know his opinion of mood-altering prescription drugs, we would've thought he was on some. O and T discussed the infamous "sofa incident" (he claims Oprah egged him on), his public feud with Brooke Shields over her postpartum depression (he claims it "came out wrong"), and his subsequent interview with "glib" Matt Lauer (he claims he felt "pressed"). Overall, he still came off as smarmy, however muted his behavior was. -

Matt Lauer: 'Hey, Duggars, What's With All The J Names?'
Remember the Duggar family we told you about last week when they had their 17th child? Well, the whole clan was on the Today show this morning, live via satellite from their 7000+ sq. ft. home in Arkansas (that they built themselves). Matt Lauer went after them (in the nicest way possible) to really find out what the fuck their deal is. He asked mom Michelle if, after 15 deliveries (two sets of twins in there), birthing a baby is "ho hum." Translation: After 15 deliveries, is your vagina so destroyed that these things just drop out of you, like when elephants have babies? We'd previously thought vaginal rejuvenation was all a bunch of bullshit. But we can recommend some doctors if she wants! Anyway, Lauer did a good job, but we're still waiting for the explanation of those Big Love compound hairdos.
