Mel Gibson is a busy man, yalls. Not only is he breaking up with his wife of 28 years and making one gorefest movie after the other, now he’s gotten his Russian mistress pregnant!

Oh, yeah. It’s true, gang. Well, at least according to The Enquirer, which, I know is not always the most reliable source, but hey! Let’s run with it. Rumor has it that Mel sat his kids down to tell them that they were going to have a new baby brother or sister, and apparently they weren’t jumping for joy - surprise, surprise. The kids are going to take steps to protect their part of the Mel Gibson money pie before the Russian mistress gets her hands on it. What a mess, right?

Happy Monday morning, Snarkarinos! Did you catch Saturday Night Live this weekend with Zac Efron hosting? Here are a few highlights.

First, Vice President Joe Biden welcomes President Obama home from his trip abroad:

Jon Bovi (Weekend Update):

Zac Efron’s opening monologue:

High School Musical 4:

Gilly’s Science Fair:

A bar where all the patrons seem strangely young:

What did you think of this episode? I haven’t thought much of Zac Efron, but I thought he was surprisingly good on SNL; maybe he should do more comedy.

After saying yesterday that she was going to “whoop Beyonce’s ass” for singing “At Last” for the presidential inauguration, Etta James is backpedaling fast and furiously. Here’s what she had to say today:

“I was feeling left out of something that was basically mine, that I had done every time you look around.

“I didn’t really mean anything. Even as a little child, I’ve always had that comedian kind of attitude. That’s probably what went into it. Nobody was getting mad at me in Seattle. They were all laughing, and it was funny.”

A joke is a joke, I guess……still seemed a bit like sour grapes to me!

Well, now, this is interesting. Classic songstress Etta James has a bee in her bonnet about Beyonce being asked to sing her signature song “At Last” at the presidential inauguration. Here’s what she had to say:

“I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whupped,” sarcastically calling her “The great Beyoncé.”

And she went on.

“I can’t stand Beyoncé… [she] had no business … singing my song that I been singing forever.”

She even slammed the President himself. “You know your President, right? You know the one with the big ears? He ain’t my President.”

Wow, jealous much? She wasn’t even able to go to the inauguration ANYWAY because she was sick, what is she griping about? Dang. This just makes her look bad, don’t you think?

Anyway. Here’s the clip of Beyonce at the inauguration:

I love this story. While greeting people at John Legend’s Concert at the Mall during the inauguration ceremonies, President Obama was teased by wife Michelle Obama about his love of Beyonce’s hit “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”. He jokingly responded with a little of the video’s choreography! Watch:

And here’s the original Beyonce video, I love this song:

Well, what are all the late night comedians going to do without the excellent joke fodder that President Bush provided? It’s a sad week for comedy, that’s for sure! Here’s David Letterman’s compiled list of the top ten Bushisms:

What a day yesterday! At the Neighborhood Ball, an inaugural tradition, the President and First Lady took their first dance together while Beyonce sang Etta James’ classic “At Last”. Here’s the video:

Wow, it felt so good to write that!! I hope you all took some time this morning to watch or to listen to the inauguration of our new President, Barack Obama. Here’s a recap if you didn’t get a chance.

First, MSNBC’s coverage of the inauguration:

MySpace Celebrity and Katalyst present The Presidential Pledge

Jennifer Hudson is scheduled to sing the National Anthem at this year’s Super Bowl on February 1, 2009.

This will be her first public appearance since the murders of her mother, nephew, and brother in October. I think a lot of Jennifer for continuing on after these tragedies; it would be easy to just curl up in a ball and never come out again, but she’s doing what she’s been called to do.

This isn’t the first time she’s sung the anthem at a major gathering; she also sang for the opening of the Democratic National Convention. Listen:
