sure she’s gorrrrgeous, but can she be funny? megan fox of ‘transformer’s fame is headlining ’saturday night live’s’ season 35th premiere tonight as the sketch show’s host.  she & cast member andy samberg put together a series of web promos for the big show – check them out above.

based on the promos, i’d be surprised if every skit didn’t focus on her good looks. let’s face it – the girl ain’t famous for her acting. her latest flick, ‘jennifer’s body,’ bombed big time at the box office. but the ‘snl’ cast is known for being able to carry guest hosts along – anyone recall the michael phelps episode?! – so i’m sure meggy will be just fine.

although, i gotta admit, she’s a fairly awkward person. the lady appeared on the jimmy fallon show this past thursday to discuss her upcoming ‘snl’ debut, and things got kinda strange. apparently she’s scared of touching paper? in any case, tonight’s the big night. megan will bring her crazy to nyc and we’ll see if she gets our laughs. also starring with megan will be musical guest u2. go big or go home, megs!

people mag got the old crew together to spill some deets on what life was really like back during their filming days. while we don’t have excerpts yet, the cover claims to have the low-down on ”the hookups, the meltdowns, the memories: the cast reveals what was really going on… and what they think of each other now.”

mark paul gosselaar (zack morris), lark voorhies (lisa turtle), elizabeth berkley (jessie spano), mario lopez (a.c. slater), & tiffani thiessen (kelly kapowski) all pose together to remind us how much we miss them in action. but have you noticed yet? absent from the reunion cover is dustin diamond, or as we know him, screech powers. what, did he have something better going on? maybe he was busy making another sex tape. let’s hope not.

in other ‘saved by the bell’ news, late-night host jimmy fallon has been notoriously trying to get the crew to do a taped reunion – as we saw that hilarious clip of mark paul gosselaar on the show a while back. but jimmy hasn’t been able to get through to all of them yet. namely, tiffani thiessen. the actress takes to the ‘funny or die’ stage to announce why she hasn’t been able to participate. she’s just too darn busy! watch below for some laughs. 

interested in watching girls beat up other girls? sure you are. drew barrymore’s latest film ‘whip it’ is all about the brutal world of women’s roller-derby. barrymore not only stars in the film, but also stretches her directing chops. ’whip it,’ which also features ‘juno’ favorite ellen page and snl cast member kristen wiig, will undoubtedly bring the laughs.

ellen plays a rebellious teenager who can’t pass up an opportunity to take a walk on the wild side. annoyed with her small-town texas life, she signs up for roller-derby to help take the edge off. turns out to be a bit more physical than expected! despite the bumps & bruises, she finds friendship in teammates played by wiig & barrymore. and with names like smashley simpson & malice in wonderland, i’m sure the ladies’ portrayal of their characters is sure to be brilliant.

the ladies of ‘whip it’ clearly had a blast during its production – director barrymore says “everything i’ve learned throughout my whole life has been going into this piggy bank, and i just smashed it all over the floor for this one.” i can’t wait to see the official preview! the flick opens everywhere october 9.

courteney cox. hottie with a body. brills actress. cougar? that’s what ABC would like us to believe. turns out her next big tv adventure will be all about the sexy mommas. premiering in abc’s fall line-up, ‘cougar town’ features a comedic desperate-housewives-esque cast of 40-somethings in suburbia. and, after reading one blogger’s 5 reasons why cougar town looks awful, i decided to chronicle the 5 reasons why i think it looks pretty good!

1) executive producer? bill lawrence. i like him, i really like him. i guess the fact that one of his past works includes my personal fav, ‘scrubs’ doesn’t hurt his cause! and he himself is funny, which helps in catching the comedic timing of the actors.

2) courteney cox & christa miller. some of the other actors are less known, but these two definitely hold it down. yeah, i get it: courteney cox does NOT look like your normal 40-year-old, but who the heck cares? this is tv. these ladies bring the laughs.

3) i’m not old yet. ha! i guess it’s easier to laugh along when i’m not having to deal with the fears of growing older. so that makes the jokes land a little softer.

4) it’s no ‘lost’. sometimes it’s good to take a break from the heavy ones. ‘cougar town’ will be light & airy, judging from the 2 minute clips below.

5) it makes fun of the stereotype. i’ve been irked by the dumb reality shows hailing a ‘cougar’ for little boys to pounce around with. instead of the high-powered i’m-hot older woman who is so 100% secure in who she is, we get ladies who aren’t quite there. joking in the first couple minutes “i woke up fat this morning,” it’s pretty apparent that the average joan will be able to relate.

but you be the judge! check out the two clips below.

obviously i didn’t tune in thinking that i would see academy award-type honorees. but wow, ashley tisdale won the breakthrough performance award for her role in highschool freaking musical? but the real standout, of course was everyone’s fave, twilight. apparently it was the best movie of 2009. which i wish i could say i was shocked, but considering MTV leaves the voting up to the crazy screaming fanatics, i think we all saw that one coming.

so, congrats twilight-ers. the purely awkward duo of robert pattinson and kristen stewart at least made for some laughs!
