When she asked what the deal was, he asked her in what context."In penetration context," she said. "There's rumor that you were hitting that."
Drake refused to get into any specifics, instead saying that he was a huge fan of Minaj. But when Handler said she would take that as confirmation, he responded with, "Fair enough."

by Jean Bentley, posted Jan 28th 2011 1:00PM
Recent Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg is set to host 'Saturday Night Live' this week alongside musical guest Nicki Minaj, but he could have another very special visitor attend tomorrow night's taping.According to the New York Post, Mark Zuckerberg is angling to appear on the episode. A source told the paper that the Facebook founder wants "to show he has a sense of humor" after complaining publicly that he was portrayed poorly in 'The Social Network.'
Dueling Zuckerbergs? We're in. It'll be best if 'SNL' uses him in an actual sketch, but we have a feeling he's going to be relegated to a short Weekend Update guest spot. Either way, the results could be great.
Watch Eisenberg's promos for this week's show after the jump.

"Let's talk about 'Dancing With the Stars'!" comedienne Kathy Griffin yelled to the crowd. Oh, can we? What shall we discuss? How Carrie Ann Inaba is of mixed Japanese, Chinese and Irish ancestry? Do we want to talk about Derek Hough's record third win on the show? Should we gab about Florence Henderson's 'Brady Bunch'-themed tango? Or are we ... going to end up talking about Bristol Palin again?"We got two words," Griffin continued. "BRISTOL ... PALIN." Ah. We see. Kathy was performing in front of a huge crowd of soldiers for 'VH1 Divas: Salute the Troops.' (Sun., 9PM ET on VH1). But as soon as she mentioned the dreaded words "Bristol Palin," the boos started rolling in from the troops. Wait. What are we booing again? Bristol? Kathy's sailor outfit? ... Kathy's comedy routine?
It turned out that the troops were jeering Ms. Griffin's routine. "You're gonna like this," she continued gamely. "[Bristol is] the only contestant in the history of the show to actually gain weight. ... She gained like 30 pounds a week. I swear to God, it was fantastic -- she's like the white 'Precious.'"

by Oliver Miller, posted Dec 2nd 2010 10:50AM
Talk show host Regis Philbin has been acting pretty "sassy" of late. It's probably because his show is currently filming in Las Vegas. People are always getting into trouble in that town. During his brief time in Vegas, Regis has already managed to spank a female guest and tell a dirty joke on the air. On the new 'Late Late Show' (weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS), Regis revealed that he's also gotten a tattoo -- well, sort of. Previously, in a Vegas-related montage, the 79-year-old acquired a huge tattoo with co-host Kelly Ripa's name on it. In addition, he did shots at an ice bar, took drugs, and partied with the greatest celebrity of all ... prop-comic Carrot Top! Then, he ended up with a massive hangover. Vegas, baby! Vegas.
