Remembering some MadTV - Krumpin'

Biden put's his foot in his mouth yet AGAIN!

It was fascinating to watch and listen to President Obama’s speech as he signed the health care bill this morning. Giddy relief was in (and on) the air, as when the President said that it was “a testament to the historic leadership and uncommon courage of the men and women of the United States Congress, who have taken their lumps during this difficult debate,” and an unknown voice yelled out, “Yes, we did!” Rueful laughter erupted.



But what’s getting much of the immediate media coverage? Well, Vice President Biden seems to have let slip the f-word in introducing the President, murmuring what sounds like, “This is a big f—ing deal!” regarding the bill.



As for any media stir Biden’s phrase kicks up, I say: C’mon, what’s the big f—ing deal? I think the Vice President referring to Virgil as “the classic poet” was a funnier moment, actually…

Grey's Less One -

One of TV’s longest-running dramas has finally (and officially) come to an end: Katherine Heigl confirms in this week’s exclusive Entertainment Weekly cover story — penned by yours truly! — that she is leaving Grey’s Anatomy.

“I am done,” declares Heigl. “We just finalized our agreement. Everyone had been working really hard to find an amicable and gracious way of letting go and moving on. It’s sad but it’s what I wanted.”

The 31-year-old actress reveals that it was family issues, not her burgeoning film career, that prompted her to approach series creator Shonda Rhimes and ask to be let out of her contract 18 months early. “I started a family and it changed everything for me,” says Heigl, who took a three-month family leave from Grey’s this season to bond with her newly-adopted daughter, Naleigh. “It changed my desire to work full-time.”

Although she was scheduled to appear in this season’s final five episodes, that is no longer happening. As a result, the Jan. 21 episode was her last as Izzie. “I know I’m disappointing the fans,” she says. “I just had to make a choice. I hope I made the right one.”

The wide-ranging and candid Q&A, during which Heigl comes clean about every aspect of her rocky six-year tenure — including the fights (Isaiahgate), the feuds (Emmygate), the controversies (Gizzie), and the mistakes she made along the way (17-hour daygate) — hits newsstands on Friday. Look for additional excerpts (as well as details on the afternoon I spent last week in, ahem, Heigl’s home) tomorrow morning right here.

In the meantime, share your thoughts on Heigl’s departure below.
