According to Talking Points Memo, Ryan apparently played the Twisted Sister track "We're Not Gonna Take It" at a Pennsylvania rally this week, and Snider ... well, he couldn't take it.

President Obama 'sings' 'Call Me Maybe'Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is so pervasive even the President's singing it. Well, with help from BaracksDubs, which mashes President Obama's speeches with hit songs. And considering that nearly everyone on the Internet has offered their version of what may turn into the song of the summer, it makes sense that Jespen's single would find its way to the Oval Office ... even if it's by way of clever editing.

"I can sing," he told Rolling Stone in April of his impromptu performance. "I wasn't worried about being able to hit those high notes." We're sure that applies to Jepsen's earworm, too - think we'll ever see the President sing this one live?  Malin Akerman and "Battleship" director Peter Berg weighed in on same-sex marriage.

Lifetime picks up Bristol Palin docu-seriesWe're not sure why we need another opportunity to glimpse into the life of young single mom Bristol Palin, but Lifetime is giving it to us anyway. The network has picked up 10 half-hour episodes of "Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp," which will focus on her "real-life experiences of growing into motherhood" as she raises her 3-year-old son, Tripp, a statement from Lifetime says. Last year, the BIO channel announced a project that was to see Bristol move into an L.A. abode with fellow former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Kyle Massey and his brother. |
