Crazy? Quite possibly.

Sarah Palin: Wishes she did more interviews during the campaign. Yeah, ’cause that would’ve changed the results!

NYT: Does the paper that has all the news that’s fit to print practice censorship? One writer thinks so. The word in question? Bitchassness.

NYT Pt 2.: And what happens when the paper that has all the news that’s fit to print is spoofed? Unsuspecting New Yorkers are scammed, as happened yesterday when a fake–albeit very convincing–issue was handed out.

The Dark Knight: Holy Batman! A city with the same name as the caped crusader is suing filmmaker Christopher Nolan for royalties. Does Gotham have a new joker on its hands?

InDecision 2008: Seems not everyone was happy with Comedy Central’s election coverage. Or so says the whiny chick who got screwed out of being in the audience.

Arrested Development: There’s been a lot of he-said, she-said regarding the possibility of a movie adaptation. And now cast member Jeffrey Tambor has taken things further: he says the film is a go!

Kanye West: Somebody get this guy some help! He told reporters that he’s an “alien,” that he blames himself for mother’s death and that “it’s lonely at the top.” We’d say something clever if we weren’t so baffled.

CMA Awards: Kenny Chesney = Entertainer of the Year, Carrie Underwood = Best Female Vocalist, Shania Twain = first appearance post-split from her cheating husband. Is it just us or do you think country music after-parties are probably a lot of fun?

B.J. Novak: The Office actor is going on sabbatical, leave or whatever it is they call it in the working world. In actuality, he’s just making a movie and will presumably return to the show at a later, yet to be determined, date.

SIZZLED OUT: Wentworth Miller (Prison Break) and Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

STILL SIZZLING: This daytime show, nearing its 21st season, is asking viewers to compose its new theme song. The winner will receive $100,000 in addition to other prizes.

Tiffani "I've dropped the Amber" Thiessen

Oprah: Reports are saying she won’t stick with her talk show after 2011 but no worries, she won’t be going far. Just switching focus over to OWN–the Oprah Winfrey Network. World domination is next.

Palin: Before Oprah does her OWN thing (get it?!), she’ll make good on that promise to have Sarah Palin on her show. Will Palin take her up on the offer? We vote for hibernation instead.

Kanye: Musical influences? The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Johnny Cash and Broadway. Or so he says.

SNL: Will Joe Biden be the next politician to poke fun at himself? That’s what the execs are hoping for but we’re not too excited. Something about old white guys (see: John McCain) just isn’t funny.

The CW: The promised series about Robin (Batman’s sidekick, duh!) won’t be developed after higher ups at Warner Brothers–and Dark Knight visionary Christopher Nolan?–decided now isn’t the ideal time. Guess the tube has all the superheroes it can handle.

Beyonce: Thinks there is in fact room for one more superhero: Wonder Woman. “It’d be a dream come true to be that character,” she says. “It sure would be handy to have that lasso.” Awkward.

Fox: The mid-season schedule will shake things up all around. Most disappointing: Prison Break will simply “return at a later date.” What kind of B.S. spin is that?

Betty Boop: It doesn’t get much more random than this: the animated icon is getting her own Broadway show. No word yet on whether this will be geared towards kiddies or perverts.

Tiffani Thiessen: Coming back to TV–but not on 90210 (which is probably a good thing!) Instead she’s playing somebody’s wife on a new USA show. We’ll take whatever TAT we can get.

Christina Aguilera: A day after a certain boy band talked rivals, the girls are doing it, too. X-Tina says she and Brit Brit were never competing against each other. After all, they used to hold hands!

SIZZLED OUT: Hugh Hefner

STILL SIZZLING: Which late-night comic had a guest stand him up this week for the first time in 15 years?
