Obama's face? Does. Not. Change.
He's all for change, and we love the man. But his face does not change. Here are 130 photos taken with visiting foreign dignitaries Wednesday during the U.N. meeting. The video shows all the pics sequentially in 20 seconds. His smile is immobile and identical in each one. It is creepy.

Emmy Observations...
- So, it looks like Patricia Arquette is back with "The Punisher." Guess she's not as dumb as I thought.
- At first, the Neil Patrick Harris musical number that opened the show worried me a bit, but he pulled it out and now I just wanna clone and marry him. (Which I sure he'd have issue with.) Moving on...
- Amy Poehler is a friggin' genius. She got all the nominees of the Best Supporting Actress/Comedy to don some kind of eyewear. Kristin Wiig in a monocle and pipe, Amy in a pirate patch, what's her face from Weeds in goggles. Really clever and unexpected. Course, what I'm looking fwd to most is the little taped intros before the Late Night writers' category. Always a treat.
- Wow. I gotta say... WHO THE F IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COUNTING THE VOTES? Supporting Actor/Comedy... out of all the stiff competition -- JON CRYER wins???? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Sure. OK. BOGUS. Let's give it to the least talented in the whole group. Nutso. Look, let's face it Jon Cryer peaked in Pretty in Pink. Nuff said.
Red Carpet Arrivals: 2009 Emmys
The Red Carpet is full of some lovely frocks and some red-hot messes. Let us begin...
OK. Look, I love the man, too... but this is a little rigoddamndiculous....
It's not a party until Tracy arrives...
...and Kathy.
Clearly, she's the host of Top Chef, because she knows absolutely nothing about fashion. That awful floral adornment looks like a growth. Hideous.
Lovely, Sandra Oh, very well done.
Oh No. Angela from the Office in what appears to be red tin foil.
Jenna Fischer, looking lovely in this black strapless number.
Oh, really? Ugh. This star of House should fire her stylist.
Allyson Hannigan, really lovely.
A very pregant Heidi Klum.
Christina Applegate. I like the lines. Not sure I like what's going on in the middle.

Live Blogging the Emmy Red Carpet...
Scoot on over here tonight beginning at 6pm for live Red Carpet blogging Emmy style. Till then, whet your award-show appetite with the nominees list...
TV's biggest night – which CBS will broadcast live Sunday starting at 8 p.m. – is still expected to shower plenty of gold upon NBC's comedy 30 Rock and AMC's drama Mad Men, just like last year, but with How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris as the ceremony's first-time host after his stellar turn emceeing June's Tony Awards, the evening should also benefit from some categories starring new contenders.

Sex and the City: Sequel Spoilers...
It's hard to keep a plotline under wraps in a city as crowded as NY. Much of the plot of the first SATC movie was revealed just from pictures taken during the filming... We all remember the shock when those 1st pictures of Carrie in her haute couture wedding gown appeared. Not to mention the images of her beating Big about the head with her bouquet. Well, it's happening again...but to a different bride. Could it be Samantha, the self-proclaimed ever-single, is getting hitched? Looks that way. And, who else could the groom possibly be? Especially when it's already been leaked that Smith is back in the script... Let these pictures do the talking:
Baby Mama Drama
Jude Law may be busy rehearsing for his upcoming Broadway stint as the brooding Danish Prince Hamlet, but he's got other fish to fry. Known for his wandering ways, Jude is involved in yet another messy situation:
But, he's not the only one... Keanu Reeves is also embroiled in some baby mamma drama:
LONDON - MODEL Samantha Burke has been offered $240,000 to spill the beans on her ex-lover Jude Law, reported media outlets on Thursday. Burke, who is pregnant with the British actor's child after a brief relationship in 2008, is reportedly in discussions with a number of magazines, reported entertainment website, Bang Showbiz. She is apparently expecting a daughter who will be named Sophia and the discussions about selling the first photos of the child. [straits times]
But, he's not the only one... Keanu Reeves is also embroiled in some baby mamma drama:
The Speedster has agreed to submit to DNA testing to prove he is not the father of any of 46-year-old Karen Sala's four adult children, the star's lawyer, Lorne Wolfson, confirmed to the Toronto Sun. "There will be a DNA test done within the next while," he said. Sala is asking for $150,000 per month in child support, retroactive from June 1988, as well as $3 million per month in spousal support retroactive. ...The Ontario woman seeking that pricey journey is a complete stranger to Reeves, the 45-year-old's rep, Cheryl Maisel, told the paper.

RIP Patrick Swayze
Very sad. So very sad. He fought the good fight, and now is in a much better place. RIP.
Patrick Swayze lost his battle with pancreatic cancer Monday. He was 57. "Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months," his rep tells PEOPLE in a statement. A gifted dancer, a rugged outdoorsman, a romantic leading man and a loving husband, Swayze was also, as his brother Don put it, "a warrior" in his cancer fight. The actor continued working on his A&E series The Beast even as he underwent chemotherapy – and never lost hope. About his prognosis, he did admit in a Barbara Walters interview that aired in January, "There's a lot of fear here. Yeah, I'm scared. Yeah, I'm angry. Yeah, I'm [asking], 'Why me?' " A month before, Swayze had issued a statement to PEOPLE in regard to speculation about his health, saying that such questions "cast a negative shadow on the positive and good fight I'm fighting."

Lady Ca Ca single-handedly keeps clothing manufacturers in business
Let it be said: Lady Ga Ga is out of her damn mind. Case in point: Last night's many VMA wardrobe changes. I've heard of changing in between acts, but who changes during a commercial break? She scares me, more than just a little.
I think it's the leg warmers that really pull this outfit together.
Finally, someone's found another use for embroidery hoops.
I really cannot begin to tell you how much that crown
scares the boo boo jeebies out of me.
scares the boo boo jeebies out of me.
There.are.no.words.
Why isn't PETA outraged by this outfit?
Hey, who let this douche nozzle get on stage?
What the what? I had to rub my eyes, blink twice and shake my head...and she was STILL there. But I shrugged the stage crasher off -- thinking it was a long show and I was hallucinating. I mean, after all, WHO DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS? Who stage crashes, making it look like you're part of the act unless you're on crack? If I were Jay-Z or Alicia Keys, I woulda knocked her dumb ass off the damn stage.
Lil Mama has issued a statement to explain why she ran on stage during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind” at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards. “I did not mean any disrespect towards Jay-Z or Alicia Keys,” the rapper/America’s Best Dance Crew judge says. “I admire them and look up to them as role models. ‘Empire State of Mind’ had my emotions running high. In that moment I came up on stage to celebrate my two icons singing about NY.” [ew]

One of our correspondents found this foodstuff in a Wal-Mart (of course). Thanks J!
Oof, this season's Project Runway pretty much blows
Joan: The new season of Project Runway (on Lifetime...yick) is about 4 episodes in now. And, frankly — the judges are out of their damn minds. I don’t know which way is up anymore. Every runway wrap-up feels like a Fellini film. I feel like any minute a miming clown is going to come down the runway and strike a pose, without anyone noticing or providing explanation. Heidi likes the badly sewn dress. Nina loves the toilet-stained frock. And where the hell is Michael Kors? Can’t he take time out of his bust QVC schedule to show up and knock some sense into these floosies?
Melissa: I just cant wrap my mind around half of the crap that's coming down that runway that the judges are praising. from mitchell's nude schmata to the awfully tailored suit that won last week, i'm convinced that heidi, nina, and whoever the guest judge is, are hitting the crack pipe before the runway show. the latest revelation is that ra'mon's neoprene dressed was dyed in the men's toilet and that the model was annoyed about wearing it. uh, NO SHIT! it was in the fucking toilet. and it won. idiots.
Joan: Something is definitely off this season. I don’t know if it’s because the whole shebang sat in a can for almost a year while the legal battle waged or what. But something is not right. I have disagreed with every top two and bottom two this season. And, for the most part, that’s never happened before. I should have known that the awful crap that went down in the ALL-STAR reunion was going to be an omen of bad things to come.
Melissa: yeah, i'm just not seeing eye-to-eye with the judges either. and OMG, epperson's dress -- they loved that shit. my first thought when it came down the runway was, damn, she look like a hooker. an expensive hooker but still a hooker. what gives?!?!
Joan: that’s precisely what I thought. It look unfinished, sloppy and slutty. This is turning out to be a train wreck of a season. Much more of this and I’ll be switching to The Fashion Show for good.
Melissa: I loved The Fashion Show. but i haven't heard of a second season. have you heard anything?
Joan: No. With our luck, it will be canceled. Well, here’s to hoping PR gets its act together — QUICK.

Beyonce classes it up by giving Taylor Swift her time to shine...
Beyonce just won for Single Ladies, and in lieu of a speech she let Taylor Swift come out and have her moment to shine. Here's why:
Is Kanye West the new “Soy Bomb”? Moments after Taylor Swift’s win for Best Female Video (”You Belong With Me”) was announced tonight at MTV’s Video Music Awards... a furious Mr. West ran onstage, grabbed a mic, and interrupted her acceptance speech to announce his belief that Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” deserved that award instead.

How do you spell "douchebag": K-A-N-Y-E.
2009 VMAs: Lots of T and some A-hole
Gotta love the VMAs. It's good for one thing: Red Carpet Nightmares. Case in point:
Katy Perry: Dangerously close to a wardrobe malfunction.
JLo: Dress is having an identity crisis
Beyonce: Try sitting in this one.
Lady Ca Ca: Oh, suckah please.
Now, that's gotta be humiliating
What's the one thing you worried about before the prom? "God, I hope no one has the same dress as I do." Flash forward 15-20 years and you know these two were having flashbacks. Ooof. Don't these stylists find this shit out prior? Someone's getting fired.
