Kid Food Critic Might Become a Movie Star, Too
Last month, when the New York Times wrote an article about David Fishman, a 12-year-old aspiring food critic, readers everywhere were thoroughly amused.
Turns out readers weren't the only ones to find the article entertaining. Variety reports that Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights to the story, which focuses on Fishman's journal of his fine dining experiences, as well as his friendship with a prominent restaurateur.
Weekend Reading: Alec Baldwin's Insecurities
It's funny, isn't it, how and when actors' personal lives begin to sabotage their professional lives? Lindsay Lohan, once a promising young talent, is in the process of rebuilding her career after issues with drugs, alcohol, and bar fights. Then there's Tom Cruise, who has been in career rehab ever since he jumped the couch.
SNL's Lorne Michaels Has Politics on the Brain
While Buzz attends the Television Critics Association Press Tour in Hollywood, she's been passing on all things political. Just yesterday, she got inches away from Keith Olbermann (who is "surprisingly very attractive" in person) and on Sunday she took an inside look at Saturday Night Live, which is gearing up for an intense election season schedule, including a Thursday night edition of Weekend Update.
Buzz got the scoop on whether Lorne Michaels, executive producer and co-creator of SNL, finds certain politicians funnier than others.
Stars Come Out to See Country Girl in the Big City
Some of our favorite actresses from the big screen got dressed up for the theater in NY last night at the opening of The Country Girl on Broadway. The show stars Morgan Freeman, Frances McDormand and Peter Gallagher, who were all out afterwards to celebrate their big night with the likes of Julia Roberts and Amy Adams. Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst both looked perfectly content to be flying solo without their new — one rumored, one real — men.
Celebs Are Hot For Hot Rod
One of our favorite funny guys, Andy Samberg, had lots of help from his friends at the premiere of his big movie debut in Hot Rod. In the movie, he plays a wannabe stuntman preparing for the bike jump of his life. Andy's SNL co-stars Seth Meyers and Fred Amisen posed on the red carpet, while his buddy Shia was looking awfully greasy, much to our disappointment.
NBC's Thursday Comedy Stars Bring the Funny
Frankly, it would have been sad if a panel full of stars and producers from NBC's four acclaimed Thursday comedies hadn't gotten laughs during the TCA press tour on Monday. So I'm pleased to report that the panel, which included Zach Braff, Jason Lee, John Krasinski, Tina Fey, and the executive producers of their shows, was appropriately hilarious. A few favorite moments:
Bill Lawrence, "Scrubs" executive producer, on his show's ratings:
"I think this is the year that "Scrubs" really becomes a big hit.

SNL News: Jenny Slate Swears Herself In, Darrell Hammond May Be Out
New cast member Jenny Slate went from virtual unknown to Internet phenomenon on her first-ever episode of Saturday Night Live over the weekend. She dropped a now infamous "F-Bomb" during a biker-chick sketch that had her saying "freaking" about 50 times — you can barely blame her, it's a pretty easy slip, especially for someone new to live TV. Blogs immediately jumped to Slate's defense, but apparently the alarm was unnecessary.
Baby Mama Brings Out Comedic Heavy Hitters
It was quite the little SNL reunion at last night's Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Baby Mama. The movie's leading ladies, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were joined with late night alums like Jimmy Fallon, Rachel Dratch, Chris Kattan, Molly Shannon, not to mention the producer Mr. Lorne Michaels himself. Hey, anywhere Steve Martin and Will Arnett party looks fun to me.
Amy Poehler Lives With Bourne and Can Time Travel
Amy Poehler's husband made us laugh earlier this week, but today it was her turn to show off her new TV show. Once called the The Office spinoff, it's now going to be focused on the minutia of local politics — check out lots of details about the show on Buzz. Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, and Amy Poehler kept the crowd laughing, which makes me very excited for the show which will premiere April 9, presumably with a title of some kind.
