S**t Happens on SNL -- FCC Stands Down
For the second week in a row, "Saturday Night Live" has let one of the seven words you can't say on television slide right on past the censors.
Lady Gaga's performance was the s**t -- but she also belted out the "profane" four-letter word during the show, and it wasn't bleeped on the East Coast.
But here's the catch -- neither SNL nor NBC will have to pay a single cent to the FCC for the S-bomb because it happened during a designated "safe harbor" time period.
According to the FCC website, "Indecent or profane speech that is broadcast between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. is not actionable."
Last week, newcomer Jenny Slate dropped the frickin' f-bomb.

Prez Bill Clinton Tempted to Cheat
... on his diet.
Bill Clinton -- famous for his love of fast food ... and there's a Phil Hartman "SNL" skit to prove it. But ever since his heart bypass surgery in 2004, eating the deep fried stuff would just be asking for trouble.
So yesterday in D.C., with the Golden Arches of McDonald's looming behind him as he talked basketball, think he really wanted to talk double teams ... or double cheeseburgers?
Rachel Dratch -- Check Out My 'Crapmobile!'
"SNL" alum Rachel Dratch was really proud of her car last night -- which she so lovingly referred to as her "red s**tmobile" "crapmobile" and "crappy rental."
If the Toyota Yaris needs a spokesperson, Rachel is definitely their gal.

Tina, meet Sarah. Sarah, this is Tina.
Here's what we know about Sarah Palin's scheduled appearance on "Saturday Night Live" tomorrow night. The wannabe VP will appear aside her doppelgänger, Tina Fey, in a sketch -- but so far, it hasn't been written yet.
Although people are speculating host Josh Brolin would appear with Palin as George W. Bush, as of now....no W-themed sketch planned.
Are we excited to see Sarah and Tina together? You ... oh, nevermind.

Please Stop It, Tina Fey
If Tina Fey's goal with her "SNL" impression is to make Gov. Sarah Palin seem so incompetent that everything she does in real life comes off genius by comparison, then she has succeeded in spades. Again.
Tina nailed it again last night and even the staunchest Dem can see a silver lining if McCain/Palin wins in November -- four more years ... of Tina Fey.

Queen Latifah Set to Grill Sarah Palin
Well-placed sources tell TMZ Queen Latifah is getting in the middle of the Sarah Palin/Joe Biden VP debate by portraying last night's moderator, PBS journalist Gwen Ifill, on "SNL" this week.
For the third time this season, we're told Tina Fey will be back, hysterically not answering questions as Palin. You betcha! No word yet on who has been tapped to play Biden.
Thanks to Latifah -- and since "SNL" has no female African-American cast member -- the world is saved from seeing Amy Poehler in black face.

Joe Piscopo from 'SNL' 'Memba Him?!
In the early '80s, Joe Piscopo became famous for playing Frank Sinatra and creating the character of Doug Whiner on "Saturday Night Live." Guess what he looks like now!
"SNL" Creating Sambo-Obama?
Either "SNL" came back from the writer's strike completely color blind or extremely one-sided. The show debuted their new Barack Obama character, which as a surprise to many -- is played by someone who isn't African-American.
A columnist at the ChicagoTribune.com has called out SNL on their choice to have Fred Armisen, who is Hispanic and Asian, portray Obama -- saying the show may be marginalizing African-American performers.
Perhaps "SNL" had their hands tied, because Kenan Thompson, the only African-American male on the cast, isn't exactly in the same weight class as Barack. Seriously, he played "Fat Albert."
