Did you watch Saturday Night Live over the weekend? If not then you would have missed the Ambiguously Gay Duo skit which saw the animated duo morph into real live-action heroes.
Jon Hamm and Jimmy Fallon dressed up as Ace and Gary for the skit while Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert, who usually voice the animated heroes, took on the roles of the live-action villains.
I’m kind of loving this, what do you think about it?
Nation, if you thought that Stephen Colbert was always the dapper, polished, politician ranter that he appears to be on his show, then you might be in for a nice surprise!
Stephen wasn’t always wearing a suit and tie and calling out Bill O’Reilly for his shenanigans on national television. Nope. At one time he looked like a bible salesman circa 1970. Even worse, he could’ve been painting “happy little trees” on public access television.
Listen up, nation, now don’t get distracted by that sparkle in Stephen’s eyes. He’s obviously still got it. And recently, the funnyman confirmed that everyone he interviews knows that he’s in character. In an interview, he said, “No one doesn’t know I’m in character. I tell everyone first. I admire Sacha Baron Cohen, but I am not doing Ali G.”
There has been no official confirmation that the photo is actually Stephen, but it’s uncanny how much it resembles him. If that’s not Stephen Colbert, then he obviously has an evil hippie clone running around out there!
GQ announced that Scarlett Johansson was their babe of the year for 2010, now they have released their top 4 men of the year and I’m quite surprised by their choices.
Jeff Bridges, 60. Icon of the Year. Won his first Oscar this year and went on to sit for the best photograph of his career.
Stephen Colbert, 46. Patriot of the Year. The still-hilarious Comedy Central host who led the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear along with Jon Stewart in October.
Drake, 24. Breakout of the Year. The Canadian rapper and former ‘Degrassi’ actor whose star blew up this year in a manner we can only describe as Bieberesque. Also, BFFs with Lil Wayne.
James Franco, 32. Leading Man of the Year. Despite a penchant for being weird, still does a mean James Dean impression and pulls off resoundingly terrific work on the silver screen.
I’m glad to see Drake on the list, he definitely had a great year. Who do you think deserves to be named on GQ’s men of the year?

It’s that time of the week again! We’ve got some delicious quotes from Heidi Klum talking about what she wears in the sack, to Bruno Tonioli stating the obvious about Kate Gosselin.

Alicia Keys took to the piano to perform her new song, “Empire State Of Mind” on “The Colbert Report” last night and to say that it was hilarious would be an understatement.
The funny part happens when Stephen comes out in his hoodie and raps the part that Jay-Z sings. He changed the lyrics and it’s just too funny.
Check out the video:
The lyrics:
Yeah, I love New York, it’s the king of all the cities
I lived up by the Guggenheim till I got myself some kiddies
Moved to Connecticut, bye George Pataki
Volvo to the dry-cleaners pickin’ up my khakis
Now my shopping mall is closer, my community is gated
My shorties are all private school educated
Home theater system, 60-inch plasma
Clean suburban air much better for my asthma
Still hit the city, Times Square I keep it real
Hard Rock Cafe for their appetizer deal
M&Ms Store, Disney Store, I’m in heaven
I own this town from 41st to 47
Got tickets to The Lion King, that show is fantastic
Leave half an hour early so I can beat the traffic
I can get home really fast, driver rocks an EZ-Pass
To the land of cheaper gas and the upper middle class
Stephen Colbert is awesome, I just love him to pieces. And Alicia Keys is just brilliant. This video is full of so much win.
Stephen Colbert’s entire career is based on being gleefully insincere, a man who literally wraps himself in the flag to the screaming of majestic computer-generated eagles.
On the other hand he is unquestionably a real supporter of the troops, raising money through donorschoose.org for school supplies for children of soldiers, through his WristStrong bracelets for the Yellow Ribbon Fund, which helps injured veterans, and by donating to the U.S.O. proceeds from iTunes downloads of this week’s episodes.
So it was easy to wonder if, given the setting, he would be a little less mock Bill O’Reilly and a bit more risk-free Rich Little. Any doubt was dispersed the minute Mr. Colbert ran out onstage wearing a business suit made of Army camouflage and, shortly afterward, declared himself the only person man enough finally to declare victory in Iraq.”
In addition to getting his head shaved, Colbert also took the time to participate in a video from Principal David St. Aubin of Goodrich High School in Michigan to his students. St. Aubin was pulled into service last year through the Army reserves.
On last night’s episode of “The Colbert Report”, Stephen Colbert talked about how Barack Obama shunned National Prayer Day. Obama decided to pray in private, which sparked outrage.
To compensate for Obama’s “bad attitude”, Stephen got his own Prayer Day together. And it wasn’t complete without his prayer pep squad, “the Danciples”.
Little did he (or the network) know, but the girl on the furthest right in the video wasn’t wearing any undies as she kicked her leg in the air.
Somehow I knew that NASA would hose Stephen Colbert out of getting the space station node named after him. While it was widely known that the powers that be at NASA held the final word in the naming process, at the same time, they held an online poll which gave voters a chance to have their say.
NASA’s main choices were “Serenity“, “Earthrise“, “Legacy“, and “Venture“, yet chose the eighth place holder, “Tranquility“, instead.
Astronaut Sunita Williams presented the results of the poll, with Colbert paying extra attention to how democratic they are. Instead of having a space station node named after him, Colbert “demanded” the treadmill be named after him.
The treadmill, called Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill (COLBERT) and will be operational in August.
NASA’s Associate Administrator for Space Operations, Bill Gerstenmaier, said, “We don’t typically name U.S. space station hardware after living people and this is no exception. We have invited Stephen to Florida for the launch of COLBERT and to Houston to try out a version of the treadmill that astronauts train on.”
Maybe they should’ve told him that before he told his fanbase to go on NASA’s website and vote for him?
During her interview, Queen Noor touted her efforts to rid the planet of nuclear missiles via Global Zero, to which she asked Stephen if he’d sign on. He said that he would, but only if she knighted him.
To knight him, as she said she has only done with children in France, she said she needed a sword. Colbert conveniently pulled out a huge metal sword for the occasion.
In a funny moment, she told him to sign first, then knighted him as the leader of the Colbert Nation.
NASA ran a poll on what they should name the new space station node. Among the choices were “Serenity“, “Earthrise“, “Legacy“, and “Venture“. Along with those choices, there was a write-in section, dedicated to allowing fans to enter in the name of their choosing.
Stephen Colbert, the ever-present comedian that he is, made it known to his viewing audience that he wanted that node named after him. And why not? He’s already gotten a spider species, a bald eagle, the Saginaw Spirit named its co-mascot Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle in his honor, along with having his own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, “Americone Dream”.
NASA officials say that they have the last word in the naming of the space station node and may opt to just name its toilet after Colbert. Maybe the Colbert Crapper?
Colbert said in a recent “Colbert Report” taping, “Now for laymen out there, a space node is a node-like structure that is attached to other nodes in space in a … I don’t know what it is, but I want it!”
Of course, it wouldn’t be the first time that Stephen has won something and not have it awarded. He won the Hungarian Bridge naming contest and was presented with a declaration winning, yet Hungarian officials named the bridge “Megyeri Bridge”.
Here’s the CNN News report of Colbert’s win:
I hope NASA names it Colbert. He won the write-in contest, fair and square. Well nation, what say you?
Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, and Hugh Laurie really took home the box office gold this weekend with their new cartoon movie, “Monsters Vs. Aliens“. The movie brought in a whopping $58,200,000 in it’s first week on the charts.
Rainn Wilson stars as the voice of Gallaxhar, an alien who lands on Earth and wants to take it over. The military decides to send in the monsters to take him out.

Monger, Reese Witherspoon as Susan Murphy/Ginormica, Hugh Laurie as Dr. Cockroach, Seth Rogen as B.O.B., Paul Rudd as Derek Dietl, Stephen Colbert as President Hathaway, Amy Poehler as the voice of the computer, Renee Zellweger as Katie, and John Krasinski as Cuthbert.
Rounding out the top five box office contenders this weekend were “The Haunting In Connecticut” in the second spot with $23,010,000, “Knowing” in third place with $14,705,000, “I Love You, Man” taking fourth place with $12,600,000, and finally, “Duplicity” bringing in $7,556,000.
Before becoming one of the funniest political satirists on television, Stephen Colbert was a poor college kid who didn’t have enough money to get a car.
Before he was famous, Colbert starred in a show called, “Exit 57“, which was his first sketch comedy for Comedy Central that ran from 1995 to 1996.
This episode features Stephen as Marty along with Amy Sedaris as his wife, Gina. They play marriage counselors with a rather unorthodox method of counseling couples before they’re able to get married.
Prior to “Exit 57“, Colbert was said to have made this “stalking” video, “Charlene (I’m Right Behind You)” in 1986:
