Sarah Palin to Appear on Saturday Night

For a month, the laugh has been on Sarah Palin. The way certain polls look, after a few more weeks, such attention may never be focused on her again.

But if nothing else, she'll get her chance to turn the tables on Saturday Night Live - whose impressions of her have been comedic gold - this weekend.

The Alaska Governor and Republican V.P. candidate – and Tina Fey alter ego – will appear on Saturday Night Live with guest host Josh Brolin.

It is still unclear what Palin will do on the comedy show: Will she team up with Brolin’s spot-on impersonation of George W. Bush, as showcased in the actor's new film, W., or will she try to skewer Fey somehow, which has also been rumored?

If she does take on Tina, it wouldn't be the first time. Palin supposedly once went as Fey for Halloween. Chimed in husband Todd Palin in an interview with his wife: “She’s been impersonating Tina Fey longer than Tina Fey’s been doing Sarah Palin."

Follow the jump for Saturday Night Live's classic V.P. debate from a few weeks ago featuring Palin (Fey) and Sen. Joe Biden (Jason Sudeikis) ...

It was Bradd pitt who cut the umbilical cords

Angelina Jolie laughed with joy as her newborn twins were delivered and partner Brad Pitt cut their umbilical cords, according to reports.

The couple, who welcomed son Knox Leon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline on Saturday, were together and "calm" during the delivery, with their doctor joking how Pitt "was my assistant."

The actress delivered her twins by Caesarian section at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France, and there were "absolutely no problems" with the birth.

Jolie's obstetrician, Dr Michael Sussman, tells People.com, "It was an epidural, so she was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy.

"He (Pitt ) was ... perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional."

And when asked how long Jolie was expected to stay in the hospital for, he said, "I don't know. She will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn't like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days. They will stay a bit longer until everything is okay.

"The babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are fine."

The first pictures of the tots have reportedly been sold for $11 million to an as-yet-unnamed U.S. magazine. The couple intends to donate the money to charity.

Will Smith's School Denies Scientology Links

Bosses at a school funded by actor Will Smith have denied that students will be given lessons in Scientology.

The Hancock star is a close friend of outspoken Scientologist Tom Cruise and was recently forced to deny rumors he too has enrolled in the Church of Scientology.

And Smith, who has founded the New Village Academy in Los Angeles along with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, was also rumored to have instructed teachers at his new school to preach the controversial faith to pupils.

But academy director Jacqueline Olivier has denied the allegations--insisting the school will not focus on any religion in particular.

She says, "We are a secular school, and just like all nonreligious independent schools, faculty and staff do not promote their own religions at school or pass on the beliefs of their particular faith to children."

The school is due to open in September.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline Heading to Custody Trial

Custody of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's two young sons will be settled in a trial in August, after an attempt to settle out of court failed on Thursday.

The pair spent the day in talks with a mediator, but Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan has confirmed that no agreement could be reached.

He tells E! News, "The mediation didn't result in an agreement that would avoid the trial set in August."

But he insists there was no breakdown in communication between the former couple, adding, "The mood was comfortable, positive and it was a mood that was consistent with opening at least a great dialogue, which is necessary.

"If the existing arrangement was acceptable to both parties... we wouldn't have to go to trial. But that didn't happen."

The trial is due to begin on Aug. 25, and will result in a final custody ruling.

Kaplan added that Federline is seeking sole physical and legal custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James. Federline was handed full custody of the boys after Spears was committed to a psychiatric facility to treat an alleged bipolar disorder following a standoff with police and childcare officials in January.

Spears locked herself and her youngest son in the bedroom of her Hollywood home and initially refused to come out when a visitation period had ended.

Earlier this week, Spears was granted an extension to her custody rights when a judge agreed she could spend one night a week with her sons.

Carla should always wear heels

Carla Bruni may be a style icon for many, but socialite Nancy Dell’Olio has advised the French first Lady to opt for heels, as she does not look glamorous in her ballet pumps. The Italian celebrity, who makes it on to the style pages for all reasons other than clothes, has claimed that Bruni is a sartorial sinner as far as style is concerned. Nancy said that Bruni, in an attempt to look taller than her short hubby Sarkozy, opts for flat shoes, which certainly doesn’t look glamorous. She then advised the former Italian model to wear heels as they look more glamorous. “Always wear heels — don’t be like Carla Bruni. She has a short man, I see the problem. But if you want to look glamorous, you have to go for heels every time,” Nancy, said.

Manisha is Hollywood actor's spiritual guide

Scottish actor Gerard Butler seeks help from Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala to preserve his knowledge about spiritual healing.

Chennai's Oneness University, which aims to put every individual in touch with his faith through spiritual guidance, has become the hub of international celebrity attention. Demi Moore is a regular visitor and Butler went there too.

But Butler, who has acted in films like "300" and "The Phantom", didn't know how to retain the knowledge of healing for a long period, so he rang up Manisha, a spiritual comrade, for help.

The "Bombay" and "Dil Se" star has been attending courses regularly at the university and proved to be of great help to the Hollywood actor.

"Yes, Gerard did talk to me on his way back from the Oneness University in Chennai where I've been visiting and attending courses regularly. He was happy to be there. But worried that once you leave the university, the teachings and the spiritual aura would just evaporate," Manisha told IANS.

Manisha, who's heavily into spiritualism, gave the actor some invaluable information on how to preserve inner peace even when not at the venue.

"A close Danish filmmaker friend told me about the Oneness University. I checked out the university and loved its environment and teachings. I decided to stay away from public life and focus on my spiritualism," says Manisha.

"In fact, the man I'm seeing right now is also very spiritual. At this stage, I needed a companion who'd share my passion for spiritualism. I'm trying to get him interested in the Oneness course."

Manisha says, "All my life I've been a seeker. I've been trying to find inner peace through travel and books. The Oneness course solved all the questions on life and existence."

She admits that of late the roles being offered to her have not been interesting enough.

"I wanted to focus on other aspects of life. This Oneness course has changed my life completely. I've become so much calmer and more focused.

Her next plan is to direct a film. In fact, she recently went to New York University to learn editing and direction.

"I know I have it in me. Some day soon I'll direct a film. But it has to be a natural process. I won't persuade myself to do anything I don't believe in. I never have. I've been approached by some responsible producers and I might just take the plunge."

Will Smith and Daughter to Battle on Big Screen

"He thinks he is going to be beat me, but I think not. I think I am going to beat him."

Britney Spears Avoids Charges in Car Accident

LOS ANGELES - Officials said on Monday they will not file charges against pop star Britney Spears over a photographer's claim she ran over his foot as she backed up her car in a crush of paparazzi.

A photographer filed a police report about six months after the incident in November. But prosecutors said the only way the paparazzo's foot could have been where the video showed it to be was if he himself had put it there.

Joseph Shidler, deputy district attorney, noted in a report that Spears' car was surrounded by photographers, and that a voice on the video told her to back up.

"We have no evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect was aware that the victim's foot had been struck by the car," Shidler wrote. "There was much commotion and noise at the time and there is no proof that the suspect was aware of what had happened."

Prosecutors said the video, which circulated on the Internet, does not show the photographer's foot being run over. But Shidler added that, "the only way the victim's foot could have been where the video indicates it to be was by the victim placing it in that location."
