Aaron Paul Makes SNL Cameo; Jesse Pinkman Promotes Obamacare

Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul made a cameo on Saturday Night Live last night in a season-opening faux press conference by President Barack Obama. On the eve of the Breaking Bad finale , and with Affordable Care Act health care exchanges set to open Tuesday, Paul made a heartfelt pitch for Obamacare. Or Jesse Pinkman did, we should say. Take a look (4:25): Aaron Paul on Saturday Night Live Paul, as his Emmy-winning character, described how a certain friend of his in New Mexico could have benefited from Obama’s signature legislation. Because there was no Obamacare, Jesse’s unnamed friend was forced to undergo drastic measures to pay for his treatment and provide for his family: Cooking massive amounts of meth and murdering people. Not just standard murders, either. He blew some guy’s face off and hit nine people in under two minutes. All because of his health care woes. Thank goodness Obamacare passed, right? Seriously. Aaron also appeared later on the SNL season premiere on Weekend Update, alongside another man who knows about addiction, Drunk Uncle … Aaron Paul on SNL Weekend Update Paul is flying back across the U.S. tonight for the series finale screening at Hollywood Forever cemetery in Hollywood. He will arrive in Walt and Jesse’s RV.

Kate Middleton Quits Her Job

Kate Middleton has joined the ranks of the world’s unemployed. But don’t feel too sorry for the princess-to-be. She likely won’t be on the streets any time soon. With just over three months until she gets hitched to Prince William, Middleton has left her job as project manager for her family’s party planning company to “concentrate full-time on preparing to become a member of the royal family,” according to an aide. For years, Middleton had worked as a website designer and photographer for Party Pieces, her parents’ company. She also helped coordinate events, a skill that ought to come in handy this spring. We somehow doubt anything Kate helped organize was the size of her April wedding, however. Over one billion people are expect to witness the event.

The Bachelor Meltdown: Ashley Hebert Goes Haywire!

Michelle Money may get more attention has the consensus loon of The Bachelor, but diminutive dentist Ashley Hebert put on quite a display last night as well. Fueled by envy and massive amounts of alcohol, Ash turned into an emotional wreck, hijacking alone time with Brad Womack from rival Britt Billmaier. As Womack and Billmaier’s makeout session escalated, so did Hebert’s desire. The Bachelor: Ashley Gets Her Drink On! “I just want him to myself,” she cried as she barged in. “One-on-one time is critical. I’m a firsthand witness to Brad’s relationship with these other girls.” That’s not all. Crazily enough, her tactics worked, and she looked poised to capture the group date rose – until blurting out something really awkward. The clip above shows Ashley’s antics, which we also discussed in our Bachelor recap , in all their glory. Here’s a bonus clip of the cocktail party, as well: The Bachelor: Week Four Cocktail Party

NYT Drops ClimateGate-era Ethics Qualms, Publishes Scores of WikiLeaks Docs

The New York Times has taken an admirable stand on the potentially-criminal release of diplomatic cables by the online “whistleblowers” at WikiLeaks. Said one Times reporter: “The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won't be posted here.” Oh, wait. That wasn't in reference to the WikiLeaks documents. That was the Times's former environmental blogger Andy Revkin discussing the so-called ClimateGate emails . The Times has, in fact, posted a number of American diplomatic documents obtained illegally by WikiLeaks, and containing massive amounts of sensitive diplomatic communications. And so we get another glimpse of the amazing depths of the Gray Lady's hypocrisy. read more

Environmental Devastation In The Gulf Of Mexico: Dolphins Covered In Oil, Sea Turtles Burned Alive And Massive Underwater Dead Zones

It is hard to put into words the environmental devastation taking place in the Gulf of Mexico right now. Thousands upon thousands of sea creatures have died from the oil already, and the ultimate death toll could be in the millions. In addition, as BP uses “burn boxes” to burn off some of the oil floating on the surface of the Gulf, thousands more sea creatures are literally being burned alive. The tragedy is unspeakable. Not only that, but scientists are now warning that the massive amounts of methane escaping into the Gulf could potentially create massive underwater dead zones in which nothing can live. Meanwhile, massive amounts of oil are coating American coastlines and beaches. And unfortunately, all of this is just going to get even worse as more oil continues to gush violently into the Gulf of Mexico each day. It is like a really bad dream that we just can't wake up from. added by: Revelation1217

Jersey Shore: Creepin’ on South Beach in Season 2!

Brace yourself for massive amounts of GTL. Break out the hair gel and tight clothing. Double the police detail on Collins Ave. The Jersey Shore cast cometh. Season 2 of Jersey Shore will film in South Beach, according to reports, rather than, say, New Jersey. Rumor is the gang will live in a house off Lincoln Road. Tanning bed, duck phone and Italian flags included. Filming is slated to start in May. Rumors that Jersey Shore might set up shop in Miami intensified after producers asked to film at the city’s hot Mynt Lounge. Presumably, permission was granted. Who wouldn’t want Snooki , The Situation, DJ Pauly D, Vinny, Ronnie, Sammi, J-Woww and Angelina at their nightclub? THG NOTE : Every other patron at said nightclub. PORTABLE GUIDOS : The Situation, Snooki & Co. are Miami-bound . Reports have surfaced in recent weeks that the network was deciding between Miami and nine other warm cities. Looks as if the choice has now been made. As the Miami Herald put it, ” lucky us .”
