I haven’t caught this weekend’s SNL yet — I had a long weekend pretending I was a black Republican.
Long story.
But, as we know, Tina Fey made her return to the show on Saturday — giving SNL its highest ratings in two years. Here’s a delicious bit from her guest spot on Weekend Update.

Here lies the body of The Bionic Woman. She died at the age of half a season after being pronounced dead by NBC.
She leaves behind a Gilmore Girls-ian little sister, an upstaging robotic rival, a scenery-chewing leading lady and a stunt casted mentor who they killed off not a moment too soon.
The cause of death has been attributed to lack of focus and general apathy.

Congrats to Anastasia — the winner of the DVD box set of Justice League: The New Frontier!
Anastasia, based on her e-mail address (which I’m not sharing), leads me to believe she lives in a snow globe and wears a crown made of blown glass.
The scene where, presumably, Wonder Woman confronts the Chinese about their poor human rights track record.
Hopefully, we’ll have some more giveaways in the future for you. And, to secure that, here’s an embedded clip from the movie to whet your appetite. And to please the powers that be.

Yet another reality show contestant’s porn past has surfaced in the wake of his minor television stardom. This time it’s some dude named James from the new season of Big Brother. There’s a picture of him over to the right, making a terrifying and unsexy face. Reality Blurred reports that he has appeared in amateur porn and gay porn print ads. If you want to know the specifics (and how could you not?), click here.
It’s not uncommon for reality stars to indulge in the porns after their star has faded. Tons of people have done it, including Tonya from The Real World: Chicago (Cinemax), Survivor winner Jenna Morasca (Playboy) and a female Apprentice loser (Playboy). When the reality machine has chewed you up and spat you out, taking your clothes off for the camera is basically the equivalent of an acting career death rattle.
But sometimes porn is a stepping stone to reality TV stardom. Well, it isn’t necessarily helpful, but if you have the kind of personality to go out and do porn, you probably have the type of personality to go on some sort of reality show. Thusly, here’s a list of some reality TV folks who have had their tawdry pasts resurface.
I also just want to put it out there that the reason I know all this is because I’m a TV nerd, not a porn fiend. I’m serious.
Brian – Winner of Survivor: Thailand
Brian was probably one of the sleaziest winners of Survivor ever — gaining votes only because he was paired with an equally awful tribemate named Clay. He was billed as a used car salesman because, presumably, it was more flattering than his other profession: star of soft core porn on the Playboy Channel and Cinemax. His IMDB lists him as the star of gems like Passion Cove and The Pleasure Zone, while he assumed the role of “Rednick #1″ in Chick Street Fighter. You may also remember him as the dude who shot a puppy with a bow and arrow.
Militia – gladiator on the new version of American Gladiators
Fleshbot unveiled the dirt on Militia recently noting that before he became a professional jouster/hill knocker-offer, he had done some “modeling” for the gays at Colt Studios. Follow the link if you’re interested in seeing more of the scary fellow at left.
Ozzy – contestant on the Survivor (the Race War edition as well as the current season)
Ozzy was (and is) known as one of the best Survivor contestants in terms of sheer skill. He whupped butt in the challenges and secured his place by bringing home fish every night. But to pay the bills before the island, Ozzy had a stint on Playboy TV on a classy little show called “Foursome.”
Jonathan – contestant on Unan1mous
I don’t really remember this show either. But apparently it has to do with nine strangers in a bunker and they have to choose one person to get a large cash prize. One chap’s history in gay porn resurfaced soon after the show. His porn name was Tino. True story.
And now our traffic will double based on people Googling for porn. Huzzah!

As I was searching YouTube for relevant Barefoot Contessa clips (the best I could find was the baby — but it was pretty remarkable in its own way), I stumbled upon this video parody.
It’s not necessarily a timeless masterpiece, but it’s a pretty inspired send-up for a couple of kids who are probably just past Bar/Bat Mitzvah age. The main performers are a fresh-faced junior gay and his sister/BFF from theater class.
While some parts are indulgent, the kids have some pretty impressive comedic instincts.[kml_flashembed movie="http://youtube.com/v/kYqBxIhajPs" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
