In Cameron Diaz, “Saturday Night Live” has its second consecutive host making an appearance after a lengthy absence. Although Diaz has hosted the show three times before, this is her first time doing so since 2005. Will there be “Annie” sketches? Probably! Will there be a Jamie Foxx and/or Quvenzhané Wallis cameo? Possibly! Will Bruno Mars make an in-sketch appearance in addition to his musical role tonight? Likely! Will this be an exciting episode or one that puts audiences to sleep faster than Thanksgiving dinner? Who knows! As always, I’ll be liveblogging the show in real time, assigning grades to each segment. As always, I’ll remind you that comedy is subjective and the grades don’t have any more power than you allow them to have. As always, a few of you will ignore that last statement and quibble over a “B-“ versus a “B”. It’s cool.

What better way to celebrate the knockout (and Oscar-nominated) film The Fighter than with a star-studded party? Drew Barrymore was on-hand to catch up with friends Eva Mendes and Hilary Swank at a Dewar's Signature-hosted bash at the Brentwood, Calif., home of Fighter producer David Hoberman. Dressed in a sequined skirt, top and blazer, Barrymore was a bundle of energy as she made her way through the party with a male friend. She immediately ran into Terrence Howard, whom she kissed on the cheek. Apart from all the conversation, there was food - plenty of it - catered by Animal,...

The rules for a heist film are rather simple. You need a crew. A successful heist film cannot be a one-man job, although you should be prepared for the possibility that one of them is going to turn on the others, because traitors are everywhere. You need an objective, be it money, jewels, a technological gizmo, the secret plans, or gold. It helps if you have a dramatic escape plan. You don't necessarily need to use violence, though having a tough guy never hurt. Oh, and frequently it's going to be someone's last big job. Yeah, that usually works out well.
(Side note: if anyone ever comes up to me with a foolproof plan to rob a bank... I'd consider it. If they ever tell me this is gonna be their last big score, I'm getting the fuck away from them. Don't call me, don't visit, nothing. Lose my number.

It's a little late to the party, but there is one song making a stealth bid to become one of the best jams of the summer of 2009. Since it's debut two weeks ago, Shakira's "She Wolf" has been in constant rotation here in the Newsroom, mostly because nobody can seem to believe it when the Colombian singer bellows like a wild lupine every time the chorus comes around again. And the moment you start thinking, "This is way too wacky," the thing gets stuck in your head for days at a time.
The video for "She Wolf" premieres tomorrow, but MTV's Buzzworthy blog has a sneak peek of the clip. Shakira already told MTV News that the clip contains several actual wolves and finds her trapped inside a cage for most of it. She also explained exactly what a "She Wolf" is. "She-wolf is the woman at daytime and the animal at night,...
