      Fey Flays Palin in SNL Debate

      (Newser) - Comedian Tina Fey clobbered Sarah Palin in yet another dead-on Saturday Night Live skit yesterday, reports the Chicago Sun-Times, skewering the candidate's stance as a maverick, her relentless folksiness, and repeated feints at last week's debate to dodge questions. Asked what she would do about the economic crisis, Fey/Palin, winking, explains: "Gosh darn it, we're gonna ask ourselves, 'What would a maverick do in this situation,' and then, you know, we'll do that."

      Tina Kills Again as Sarah

      (Newser) - Comedian Tina Fey skewered Sarah Palin in a command reprise performance on Saturday Night Live last night. This time, Fey parodied the candidate's foibles during her interview with Katie Couric, reports Comedy Centric. In the opening sketch, Fey, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Palin, is stumped by a question from Amy Poehler’s Couric and asks “to use one of my lifelines—I’d like to phone a friend,” she says.

      Dewey Cox Rocks!

      (Newser) - Judd Apatow's Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story "is less thoughtful satire and ... more the distant cousin of Airplane! ," writes Brian Orndorf of OhMyNews.com. Starring John C. Reilly as a blues prodigy who ultimately experiences success, failure, and redemption, it plays like "an extended riff on the likes of severely mediocre Oscar-bait" such as Walk the Line and Ray , Orndorf says.

      The Man Behind the Smile

      (Newser) - It's contemporary Chinese art's most indelible image—the smile so huge it becomes false, accusatory—and it belongs to Yue Minjun, the artist who uses the grinning self-portraits, often many of them, in his paintings. The New York Times chats with Yue, who is enjoying his first US show in New York after one of his paintings sold for $5.9 million last month at an auction at Sotheby’s in London. More »
