Sarah Palin may make SNL appearance

100608fey_cst_feed_20081005_17_03_09_235-116-165.jpg

Watch out, Tina Fey — you’re fair game. And when Sarah Palin’s taking the shots, it could get bloody.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that it’s looking more and more likely that Palin will appear on ”Saturday Night Live” to have some fun with Tina Fey.

Fey’s impression is getting laughs from both sides of the aisle, leaving the McCain camp in a tizzy about just how to respond. Some staffers are content with Palin joking about the SNL routines on the campaign trail; others, including the governor herself, think a return punch on the NBC airwaves (or, for Time Warner customers, on NBC.com the day after) is what’s needed.

Some sort of Palin tweak of Fey’s American Express commercials, perhaps? This coming weekend’s SNL will be a rerun; the next original show will be Oct. 18.

In the meantime, check out Fey’s Palin routine here and here, then help McCain’s advisors make up their mind. Your vote counts!

Kimmel, Silverman dating again

Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman are back together, but “they’re taking it slow,” says a source. “They’re on the road back to being together again.”

The comedians, who ended their five-year relationship in July, have recently been spotted on dates on both coasts.

On Sept. 28, Kimmel, 40, and Silverman, 37, enjoyed a laughter-filled dinner together at L.A.’s Pattaya Thai Restaurant, says a source, and left holding hands. Less than a week later, they attended pal Howard Stern’s Oct. 3 wedding at New York City’s Le Cirque restaurant, where Kimmel was spotted wrapping his arms around Silverman’s waist and grabbing her butt in plain view of photographers. Sassy.

Silverman thanked her ex from the stage after winning an Emmy last month for her salty music video “I’m F——— Matt Damon,” which first appeared on Kimmel’s late-night talk show before becoming an internet sensation.

“Thanks to the person for whom this whole video was made: Jimmy Kimmel, who broke my heart - ohh, who’ll always have a place in my heart,” she said.

J.Lo speaks of secret nervous breakdown

s-JENNIFER-LOPEZ-SCIENTOLOGY-large.jpg

In an interview with Kevin Sessums, posted on The Daily Beast, Jennifer Lopez (reported to be looking exhausted and a bit sick) opens up about all sorts of stuff we don’t necessarily care about, including her thoughts on Scientology and a nervous breakdown which, until now, was a big honking secret.

Here’s the good part: According to The Beast, the interview was done for a major fashion magazine, which took Sessums off the story after Lopez had second thoughts about some of the things she’d said, asking that the story not be published. Oops!

On her breakdown:

“There was a time when I was very overworked and I was doing music and movies and so many things. I was suffering from a lack of sleep. And I did have a kind of nervous breakdown. I froze up on a set. Well, not on a set, but in my trailer. I was like, ‘I don’t want to move. I don’t want to talk. I don’t want to do anything.’ It was on that movie Enough [in 2002]. Yeah. I did. I had a nervous breakdown.”

On Scientology (her father has been a Scientologist for 20 years)

“I do know a lot about Scientology. And I know about the practices. I know all about what the technology is and all that kind of stuff. It’s very helpful. So in a sense, yeah, you do call on it.”

Here’s the whole story.

David Duchovny leaves sex rehab

KOT263896_ano_duch_kov.jpg

David Duchovny has been released from rehab, which he entered voluntarily two months ago to treat sex addiction. “David has successfully completed his rehabilitation,” Duchovny’s lawyer said. “He is out of rehab and will be starting a movie soon.”

The X-Files star, 48, and his wife, Tea Leoni, were spotted arm-in-arm at the Czech Festival in New York City Sunday. (That them, above.)

Leoni, 42, had been lying low since her husband’s admission. She cancelled several promotional appearances of her new flick, “Ghost Town” at the Toronto Film Festival.

In 1997, the actor denied rumors about his sexual appetite, “I’m not a sex addict,” Duchovny told Playgirl magazine then. “I have never been to those meetings. It’s hurtful to my family and if I was involved with a woman in a monogamous relationship, it would be hurtful to her. There was another story claiming I was a neat freak. If I had to choose one of the two, I think I’d rather be a sex addict. It’s not funny and I’ll be glad when it goes away.”
