Last night on Jimmy Fallon’s ‘Late Night’ it was a mini-reunion of sorts with his former SNL castmates: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch as they did a hysterical Jersey Shore parody.

You’ve gotta LOVE Rachel Dratch’s ‘Drootchie’s character! Right down to the tans and attitudes it’s pretty impressive.

What do you think? No gym or laundry, but definitely tan, partying and brawling.

This is totally Katy Perry’s year.  She got engaged to Russell Brand, her Teenage Dream album is number 1 on Billboard, she got engaged to Russell Brand and she’s opening Saturday Night Live’s season on September 25 as the musical guest. Did I mention she’s engaged to Russell Brand? She could find the cure for leprosy and that would pale in comparison to being engaged to Russell Brand.  And I mean absolute no disrespect to those suffering from it.  It’s Russell Brand!

Former SNL alum Amy Poehler is the host on the show that Katy Perry musical guests. In the video below Katy talks about the inspiration for the song Peacock on her album. And yes, there is some ‘innuendo’ in the song but judging from all the pictures I have seen of Russell Brand and studied for HOURS, there is nothing ‘pea-sized’ about him.

SNL funny ladies Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch pose on the red carpet for the premiere of The Kids Are All Right in New York. The movie also stars Julianne Moore, Annette Bening, Mark Ruffalo and Mia Wasikowska.  They were all at the premiere (with the exception of Annette) in addition to Ellen Barkin, Patricia Clarkson and Edward Norton.

The comedy opens in theatres July 9 and centres on a lesbian couple played by Julianne Moore and Annette Bening whose children seek out their sperm donor.  Sometimes some things are better left unknown:

Nic and Jules had the perfect family, until they met the man who made it all possible

Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock both got honours for best actress at last night’s 15th Annual Critics Choice Awards with Sandra winning for her role in Blind Side and Meryl for her role in Julie & Julia.  Sandra said the win was an honour and went on to describe just how similar she and Meryl are:

“I love food and sex like Meryl. That’s how similar we are. You guys just didn’t notice it until now. Meryl is a good kisser”

The Hurt Locker received Best Picture and Best Director for Katherine Bigelow. It is the first time a woman has received the award. Ex-husband James Cameron was also up for the award for his movie Avatar, and gave her a standing ovation when she won.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott along with your favourite stars from various NBC shows got together for the NBC Universal Winter Press Tour cocktail party in Los Angeles last night to promote their shows.  I don’t like to be critical of women and their weight because I think we focus way too much on it in society, generally speaking.  However from a health perspective, I have to say that Tori looks scary skinny.  You can see her chest bones protruding out.  I sincerely hope that she is okay, health wise.

And if you’re wondering what happened to Dean, he told ET Online that he had a motorcycle mishap where he suffered a bruised scapula and a bruised bone during a practice session for the first race of the WERA season on Saturday:

“I crashed yesterday during a practice round and was rushed to hospital and got X-rays and everything… I’m fine, I did three races today and it hurts like hell but I wasn’t going to miss the first race of the season!”

And his wife’s reaction to his accident:

“In the new year I’m practicing not reacting to life! I’m usually a stress ball so I think I’m handling it pretty well!”

Some more celebs that attended:

• Michelle Trachtenberg
• Sarah Lancaster
• Lauren Graham
