Guess she has got to make money somehow since Tina Fey is stealing all her glory.

Just four months after announcing a book deal with Harper, Sarah Palin’s memoir will be hitting book shelves on November 17.

The book will be titled: Going Rogue: An American Life. HAHA!

Brad Pitt joked that he is running for political office, saying: "I'm running on the 'gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana' platform."

Pitt's political aspirations came under the spotlight with his charity push to help rebuild New Orleans with affordable green houses.

He has become such a figure of pride for the city that a t-shirt declaring 'Brad Pitt for Mayor' has become a popular fashion statement.

Al Franken takes the lead!

The former Saturday Night Live star has pulled ahead in the continuing race for the Senate seat in his home state of Minnesota.

Franken has been deadlocked with his opponent, Republican Senator Norm Coleman, since the Supreme Court called for a recount on November 19th because Franken trailed by less than one-half of one per cent of the total.

A five-member state board has been reviewing the disputed ballots this week and after discovering a number of x marks, underlines, blotches and one smiley face, the comedian has jumped ahead.

He’s been Batman, Jim Morrison and Elvis and now Val Kilmer, 48, wants to be the governor of New Mexico.

Val owns a large ranch there and isn’t just considering a run, he’s turning to his friend Arnold Schwarzenegger (aka The Governator of California) for advice.

The former Iceman says, "I plan to sit down with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm approaching this as a serious endeavor. But being famous as an actor is one thing; they take no prisoners in politics."

He should use the Top Gun volleyball scene as his campaign ad. We’d vote for that!

Remember Fran Drescher? The Nanny star added her easily-recognizable voice to those of other celebs in encouraging people to vote No on CA Proposition 8, which, if passed, would reverse the state's Supreme Court decision from earlier this year which legalized gay marriage.

This is not a joke! 

Comedian, political satirist and SNL alumni, Al Franken is running for a Senatorial seat in Minnesota after winning the Democratic nomination on Tuesday.

Hell yeah! Go Al Franken!

Franken beat six opponents, taking 66 percent of the vote in the state’s primary election. He faces current Republican Senator Norm Coleman and Independence Party candidate Dean Barkley in the November election. We hope he wins by a landslide. Washington needs a mind like Al Franken.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
