Jenny Slate’s ‘SNL’ F-bomb

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Saturday Night Live” kicked off its 35th season with Megan Fox as host — and the F-word.

From Tom Shales of The Washington Post:

Jenny Slate, one of two actors hired over the summer to join the repertory cast, was making her “SNL” debut in the sketch, called “Biker Chick Chat,” which aired in the last 20 minutes of the season premiere. Slate and Kristen Wiig played surly motorcycle babes who used the substitute words “frickin’ ” or “friggin’ ” in every sentence they spoke.

On-air proposals and other hazards of TV news

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Meow meow meow live kitty cam meow

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

If you were captivated by the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam a few months ago, you’ll probably be slightly less mesmerized by this kitty cam. Cats do a lot of laying around and looking unhappy, but we’ll watch it anyway. And Gail will probably watch with us.

Gawker intern Bette Bentley compiled this video of Diane Sawyer slurring her words, acting silly, sexy and mumbling things about the Jonas Brothers and showing off her boots.
