And We Are Telling You About SNL

Along with rebellious meatballs, this weekend's Saturday Night Live featured The Shins, whose performance of "Phantom Limb" and a superdragged out "New Slang" didn't do anything to change our minds about their live abilities.

Despite knowing every little thing about Dreamgirls (Jennifer Holiday is pissed about not being involved! Beyoncé got snubbed for a Best Original Song Oscar!), we still haven't seen it. Mistake? Does Hudson really steal the film just based on that one song? The idea of Eddie Murphy turning in a statue-worthy turn is promising; he's still paying off his debt to society for his solo career -- one that Simon Cowell was too intimidated to shut down when he had the chance. Which makes Simon an accomplice "Party All The Time."
