The Kim Jong-Il dictatorship was long parodied by comedy television programs in the United States. Mad TV was one hit television show in the West that used to make jokes about the communist leader being obsessed with Western culture and loving to perpetrate human rights abuses. Saturday Night Live (SNL) was another. Here’s a video clip from Mad TV where that kookie little Kim Jong Il shows off as the, “little man with the big dictatorship.” In it, he interviews the, “big deal player” Donald Trump, host of Celebrity Apprentice. We also have a funny link to a video of Kim Jong-Il singing “Wocket Man” by Elton John (sort of). Keep reading…

Jane Curtain reveals John Belushi secret misogynist?
[Apr. 13]
Deceased Baby Boomer John Belushi of (The Blues Brothers (1980) fame) was unfriendly to women, says green celebrity actress and comedienne Jane Curtin. The Saturday Night Live funny woman who got her first big break doing variety comedy on SNL, recently dished dirt about the dead celebrity to Oprah Winfrey. The result? She has ignited a celebrity scandal debate over whether or not Belushi was a sexist (who thought men were better than women) or really a misogynist (a man who has a deep seated hatred of women) hiding behind comedy and his famous face.
Jane Curtain recently appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, alongside such comedy powerhouses as Chevy Chase and Tina Fey. Curtin said 1975, following the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s, was not a friendly time in the workplace for women who were competing for the jobs once exclusively held by men.
Jane Curtin called the environment “misogynistic.” She noted that she couldn’t even get a credit card in 1975, because she “was a self-employed female. Things were very different. Women were not treated equally,” she told Oprah. and she lashed out specifically at John Belushi.

Funny silver fox Helen Mirren a mega hit on SNL?
[Apr. 10]
Americans became interested in finding out more about celebrity senior Dame Helen Mirren when the famous green celebrity actress was the guest host on the April 9-10, 2011 Saturday Night Live. The silver fox Helen Mirren won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2006 for her role in The Queen. Currently she is starring in a remake of the comedy Arthur, which won Oscars in 1981 for both Best Song and for John Gielgud’s performance as the butler.
Dudley Moore also earned an Oscar nomination for his leading role as the iconic playboy in Arthur, but critics doubt Russell Brand’s ability to achieve the same credit. Brand’s acting abilities are not as well honed as Moore’s were when he played the role, the Los Angeles Times reports. However, classy green celebrity Dame Helen Mirren just may be able to pull it off for the supporting role like Gielgud did in 1981.
MTV reports on Helen Mirren’s impression of her role as the playboy’s nanny:
“Well, me, Helen Mirren, would never ever be in that position because I would never countenance dedicating my life to someone else in that way,” she said. “It takes a very special person to do that, and nannies have that. They’re a very special kind of people, nannies — the kind of people who dedicate their lives to a whole other family that isn’t theirs.”
The charitable silver fox and green celebrity is well-known for her donations and causes. She has traveled to Uganda with Oxfam in support of one of the world’s longest-standing and most bloody crises, with over a million killed and over two million displaced.
