Tina Fey, who only recently confessed before David Letterman's national television audience that she didn't have sex until she was 24, is outing herself again: she admires and respects the woman she imitates, Sarah Palin. And is teetering toward voting for Palin should the former Alaska governor run for president in 2012. "Those who can, do. Those who can't, mock those who can," Fey said.

Good satire never dies. While months ago comedian Tina Fey vowed to deep six her celebrated Sarah Palin impersonation, now she says it's likely bound for a resurrection. The Palin wig will soon will soon have to "come out of the closet," she vowed to Harper's Bazaar. The hook? The soon-to-come publication of Palin's quickly written autobiography "Going Rogue." Fey also talked to the fashion magazine about her own famous glasses. She insists she doesn't sport the signature specs all the time. "I don't wear them when I am dressed up, because then I would look like Tootsie," the Emmy-winning...

TONI Collette has won the Emmy for her American TV series, United States of Tara. She won the outstanding actress in a comedy Emmy, beating favourite Tina Fey for 30 Rock. Sydney-born Collette is no stranger to big Hollywood awards nights after being nominated for an Oscar for her supporting performance in the 1999 thriller Sixth Sense and an Emmy in 2007 for the TV mini-series Tsunami: The Aftermath. She came away from both empty-handed.

Tina Fey recently won an Emmy for her uncanny resemblance and venomous impersonation of Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. In accepting her award, Fey was her typical, obloquious self saying, “Mrs. Palin is an inspiration to working mothers everywhere because she bailed on her job right before Fourth of July weekend. You are living my dream. Thank you, Mrs. Palin!” 2008 marked a departure from the memorable, more cordial years of Chevy Chase as a clumsy Gerald Ford or Dana Carvey’s hilarious H.W. Bush: “wouldn’t be prudent.” Fey was downright mean.

LOS ANGELES, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Actress Tina Fey won an Emmy on Saturday for her uncanny portrayal of former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," while pop star Justin Timberlake also was honored for his appearance on the NBC network's veteran sketch-comedy series.

Comedy actress Tina Fey has won an Emmy Award for her satirical portrayal of Republican vice-presidential contender Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. Fey was honoured at the Creative Arts Primetime Emmys, which recognise technical and other achievements. Pop star Justin Timberlake, who did not attend, won for playing various characters on Saturday Night Live. There were also wins for Ellen Burstyn for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Michael J Fox for Rescue Me. "I always wanted one of these," Burstyn said, winning her first Emmy after being nominated five times. 'Living my dream' In winning her award,...

Is Tina Fey an Emmy winner? You betcha. Fey received an Emmy Award on Saturday for her impersonation of Republican vice presidential contender Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live."

During her acceptance speech during tonight’s Golden Globes, Tina Fey made some time to tell some of her harsh “internet critics” to “suck it.” The bit was pretty funny (you must watch it here). “If you ever start to feel too good about yourself, they have this thing called the Internet! You can find a lot of people there who don’t like you! I’d like to address some of them now! BabsonLacrosse, you can suck it. DianeFan, you can suck it. Cougar-Letter, you can really suck it ’cause you’ve been after me all year. And to my husband, Jeff, I...

At the Seattle Poetry Slam last week, a poet got up to the microphone and said, "This poem is from the perspective of Sarah Palin." Before the poet even started the poem, everyone laughed. It's become possible to make a Sarah Palin joke without even making a Sarah Palin joke.The Palin joke wagon has catapulted above the norms of political humor. It's become hip to hate Palin.Much has been said about the "Cult of Celebrity" in regards to Barack Obama's campaign. It's the idea that Obama's star power, rather than his stance on issues, will carry him to the...

Video here. With acts of violence by emboldened Obama supporters growing, take 59 seconds to step away from all that and watch this lighthearted interview with the one bright and happy part of Election 2008: Sarah Palin. This interview shows her passing by Tina Fey while on Saturday Night Live, plus other brief highlights and her sitdown interview at the MyFox station. When she says, "I beg to differ" at the beginning, that is in response to elitists saying that a citizen like herself isn't qualified to manage the government, even though she has done that more successfully with Alaska...

Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's victory over comedian Tina Fey has been painful to behold. And Tina Fey had been doing so well, too. Sometimes in the media-political complex, satirists are all-important, and until recently Tina Fey must have been waking up every morning feeling like Superwoman. Her superb impression of Palin on Saturday Night Live has given John McCain's campaign a vicious punch in the kidneys from which it and he may still not recover. If Senator Obama wins, well, Fey deserves an ambassadorship or something.Katie Couric's tough one-on-one TV interview with Sarah Palin exposed her ignorance and absurdity...

The Republican presidential candidate was shown laughing along with Tina Fey impressions, before taking the stage herself to deliver the hit satire show's "Live from New York, it's Saturday night" opening line. Mrs Palin and Fey – who bears a resemblance to the Alaskan governor – wore the same red outfit for the show, which also included a comedy rap called Eskimos that made light of the Republican's passion for guns and hunting. John McCain's running mate had been meant to perform the song herself, but changed her mind after deciding it could damage her campaign. Instead she was shown...

Fox & Friends just mentioned that Sarah Palin (the real one) will appear tomorrow on Saturday Night Live.

Palin To Join Fey On Saturday Night Live? NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2008(AP) It seems like the inevitable comedic summit of this fall's presidential campaign: the real Sarah Palin coming on "Saturday Night Live" to meet her look-alike impersonator, Tina Fey. "All in good time," said a cagey Lorne Michaels, longtime executive producer of NBC's "Saturday Night Live," which has been rejuvenated this fall by Fey's three skits as the Republican vice presidential candidate. Michaels said on Wednesday he wasn't actively seeking Palin, but that the McCain campaign called after the first skit, when Fey's Palin appeared with Amy Poehler's...

It's looking more and more likely that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will appear on ''Saturday Night Live'' -- to have some fun with Tina Fey. As the comedian's impressions of the GOP vice presidential candidate draw laughs from Republicans and Democrats alike, a top honcho from the John McCain campaign tells me there's a debate going on about how to respond. Some key McCain staffers are content with Palin joking about the "SNL" routines on the campaign trail -- as when she scribbled "I'm not Tina Fey" on a supporter's cell phone and said she'd dressed as Fey on Halloween....

For years, NewsBusters has not only pointed out liberal bias in traditional media outlets, but also when it occurs in sports coverage. In a fine example of why this is so important, ABC sportscaster Suzy Shuster on Tuesday published a letter at the Huffington Post begging actress Tina Fey to make weekly appearances as Gov. Sarah Palin on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in order to get Barack Obama elected president. I kid you not. Here are some of the lowlights of this disgraceful piece (emphasis added, photo courtesy Boston Herald):

Chevy Chase said Monday he wants Tina Fey to go "even harder" on Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin than she did in her "Saturday Night Live" skit this past weekend ... and that he wants Fey to "decimate" her. "I thought it was extraordinary how well she played her and much she looked like her. I'd just like her — personally I felt we didn't need the Hillary stuff — I'd like her to go even harder," the former "SNL" star told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show. "I want her to decimate this woman. This woman is, I can't believe...

On his birthday, John McCain gave "Saturday Night Live" a birthday present: A Tina Fey look-a-like. Sarah Palin, his surprise choice as VP, has more than a passing resemblance to Fey, currently writing and acting in "30 Rock," the best sitcom on television. You'd have to think, however, that Fey will be either excited or politely encouraged by Lorne Michaels to make a few "SNL" visits and spoof Palin.

PHILADELPHIA -- Steven Wooke takes a swig from a bottle of Heineken as his left hand rests on a small table, his fingers spread out like a fan of playing cards. He's getting a manicure -- or hand detailing, as the salon calls it -- and it's a pampering the 24-year-old information technology manager has learned to enjoy. ``My girlfriend notices it,'' said Wooke during a recent visit to an American Male salon for nail grooming sans polish. ``I try to come in every two weeks.'' American Male -- which is opening its 15th salon, in Las Vegas, in February...

NEW YORK (AP) - In his first major speech since the midterm elections, former President Clinton (news - web sites) said the Democratic Party needs to communicate clear, fresh ideas on the economy and national security if it wants to recover from election losses. Clinton's remarks came during a speech Tuesday to the Democratic Leadership Council, a national network that Clinton helped found in the 1980s to steer the party toward a more centrist image. He reflected on the mood of the party back then to look ahead to the party's next step. "We had a strategy rooted in new...
