FEY AS PALIN: PART 2

Either Tina Fey was made to impersonate vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska), or Palin was made for Fey to impersonate. Either way, it's the best thing to happen to Saturday Night Live since "Dick in a Box." This time, SNL mocked Katie Couric's (played scathingly by Amy Poehler) interview with Palin on the CBS Evening News last week, painting Palin as a dim-witted, babbling beauty queen by using her own words as answers to fake questions. Again, Fey was spot on as Palin, and we can only hope this will continue as the campaigns come to a head this month.

JEREMY PIVEN: ON BROADWAY?

In this Funny or Die clip, the Entourage star celebrates his recent Emmy Award win by telling a series of fellow actors (Jamie Foxx and Seth Meyers included) how his next project will take him back to his roots: the stage. The reactions are priceless, with everyone ripping his decision. Piven's stint in David Mamet's Speed the Plow is set to begin Oct. 3, according to the video.

JACK WHITE AND ALICIA KEYS' "ANOTHER WAY TO DIE"

Last week, we got the song. Now we get the video: Jack White and Alicia Keys' collaboration, which serves as the theme for November's Quantum of Solace. It's mostly White's baby, but Keys does sing and, at least in the video, play piano. The gritty Southern rock-soaked song sounds as one would expect: a White Stripes song playing on the 007 theme. The video's more of the same, dressing White and Keys up and putting them in some Bond-like situations.
