Tina Fey reprises her role as Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live” and unveils Palin’s next career move.

2009 was a year stuffed to the gills with egregious behavior from spectacularly ridiculous people. With so many crude epithets at our disposal to describe these knuckleheads, none is so apropos as the one sobriquet that aptly describes quitters, hecklers, teabaggers, extortionists, and balloon hoaxers alike: douchebags.

Given the explosion of douchiness all around us, we had to dig deep to select these profiles in ignominy, but here they are — our awards for this year’s 20 biggest douchebags in America.

In the need of some extra spending money, Conan O’Brien takes a seasonal job at Best Buy.

Put on your yalmulka, it’s animated Chanukah.
Watch as Neil Diamond sings Adam Sandler’s classic Chanukah song. You don’t need deck the halls or jingle bell rock, cause you can spin the dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock…

Saturday Night Live combines Sarah Palin and the disaster movie “2012″ to imagine a world in which Palin wins the presidency.

A bunch of professional athletes are all headin’ to the land of fire and brimstone, according to the Amazing Grace Baptist Church of North Carolina. The church recently released a list of professional athletes that should be prepared for a future of devils, fiends, demons and tax collectors.

Topping the list is none other than that despicable, horrific human being, Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriots. According to the church, Brady is number one with a bullet because he “is teaching us to have sex outside of marriage, to commit fornication, don’t marry and do the right thing, don’t take responsibility for your actions, have a good time no matter who you hurt in this world, go from sex partner to sex partner, and it’s okay because of who I am.” Ouch!

Video games are an active medium. You play them. You’re involved. Your actions decide the outcome. Movies are passive. You sit, you watch. No matter what you do, the outcome is always the same. (Begin Sarcasm) How could combining these two possibly go wrong? (End Sarcasm)

Right now you’re thinking, “Warren, picking the 10 best movies based on video games is like picking the 10 best turds in the litter box.” Exactly! I didn’t want this to be easy. Anybody can pick the best of the best or the worst of the worst. I decided to pick the best of the worst…and not in an ironic way.

Since these are all horrible films, I needed to find other criteria in which to like these movies. What have I gotten myself into?

I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but Kanye just had one of the best Internet memes of all time. Of all time!!!

A decade ago, yours truly spent about the life span of a mayfly as an aspiring stand-up comic. I followed the lead of my childhood friend (and lifelong cut-up) Lee Levine and performed a “tight five-minute” routine at a few open mic comedy nights in the San Francisco area. On one of those nights, in a British pub near Stanford University, Lee introduced me to the event’s host, a charming and affable Midwesterner named Steve Mazan. After …

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart – taking a rest from its recent eviscerations of Lou Dobbs, Sarah Palin and Prof. Skip Gates – welcomed one of England’s loudest bands on Tuesday night: David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, Derek Smalls, and whatever drummer is the next to perish under curious circumstances, collectively known as Spinal Tap. For your dining and dancing pleasure, here’s their newly funkified take on “Sex Farm.”

You only have to watch a few episodes of “Northern Exposure” to understand why Sarah Palin is so popular. She’s exactly like Shelly Tambo. Shelly, a former beauty pageant winner, is the hot, not-so-smart barmaid who wears tight clothing and always looks a little bit confused about what’s going on. She works at The Brick, a local tavern on main street in Cicely, Alaska.

She only came to town for one reason—Maurice Minnifield, the former astronaut/military man who fell in love with her while she paraded down the runway of the Miss Juneau Pageant.

Watch a tribute to Michael Jackson performed by dancing inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines. The tribute was performed just 10 hours after receiving word that the King of Pop passed away, as hundreds of tourists and Cebuanos crowded the jail to watch the emotional performance.

Dear Jon and Kate,
I’ve been a fan since I saw a special about your family right after the sextuplets were born.  The interviewer asked Jon what he thought of his wife’s body after eight babies, and he just laughed. I was sold.  I liked your matter-of-fact honesty about the mess you were in. I even liked Kate’s insane bossiness.
Now, there is going to be a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT on Monday’s episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” Gosh, I wonder what it is?
You know, if you have made the decision to …

I’m a slut for celebrity gossip. I deliberately choose the longest line at the grocery store so that I can devour as many trashy mags as possible while waiting. My major news source is dlisted.com, and as a result, I can tell you the names of the spouses, exes, and children of any celebrity.
The glitch, though, is that for the most part, I “know” them only through the gossip context. I rarely see movies, I don’t have a TV, and I listen to exactly two radio stations, neither of which are …
