Sunday Night With Mad Men
Mad Men is a Jezebel favorite, though I must admit that I am totally lame and I haven't even gotten through Season 1 yet, so I'm certainly not the person to lead you all through a liveblog. However, there was such an overwhelming demand for a Sunday night Mad Men post that I am going to put up an open thread for you Mad Men fans. For analysis from a Mad Men expert, check back tomorrow for Tracie's weekly recap. Happy viewing, and I'll see you all in the comments tomorrow.

SNL: A Sister Act Gone Horribly Wrong
Ok, I know I've already posted an SNL clip today, but this clip is beyond hilarious and also worth a look. The three female comedians of SNL, Casey Wilson, Amy Poehler, and my personal favorite, Kristen Wiig, along with guest host, Anne Hathaway, put on an insane Lawrence Welk sister act that is equally fantastic and demented. Wiig is tremendous as a completely insane sister who strays from the typical "sunshine and rainbows" attitudes of the others and veers into well, finding dead cats and putting honey on them. Clip after the jump.

Anne Hathaway: Grace Under Pressure
While watching SNL last night, I was struck by how graceful Anne Hathaway was in joking about her troubled relationship with her criminal ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri. Hathaway has undoubtedly been under a lot of pressure from the press lately, with questions about her involvement with Captain McShady popping up every time she tries to give an interview to promote her supposedly Oscar-worthy performance in Rachel Getting Married. In playing along as the gullible sweetheart with a heart of gold during her SNL monologue, Hathaway displayed the kind of charm, self-awareness, and sense of humor that will surely help her through what is most likely an incredibly strange and difficult time her life, and I salute her for it. Sometimes being able to laugh at the things that hurt the most is the only way to get through it. How do you all deal with a tough breakup? Is laughter really the best medicine?

Buying Beauty: Women Won't Pinch Pennies When It Comes To Cosmetics
Brandweek's Jim Edwards has an article out today that claims that even in the face of economic crisis, sales of high-priced beauty treatments, such as $1000 tubs of La Prairie skin creams and vanity Botox injections, are actually on the rise. "That is the high-end beauty category in a nutshell," Edwards notes, "Everyone thinks hard times must be triggering women to pull back on discretionary vanity products but the opposite is true: Business is up." While women may be scrimping on other items in their lives, they're splurging on their beauty products, which is a habit I'm afraid I've also fallen into. Call it vanity, if you will, but I'd rather eat a box of generic cereal then put an untested cream on my wicked sensitive face. And besides, when the world is gloomy, a new Clinique Black Honey lip gloss seems to brighten the day. Are there any beauty products that you've had to give up over the past few months? And if so, how are the cheaper substitutes working out for you? [Brandweek]

I would just like to take a moment of silence for all the Chicago Cubs fans out there. As a fan of the worst team in baseball, the Seattle Mariners, I know how it feels to have your baseball hopes and dreams crushed on a regular basis. And though this year is probably harder than most for you Cubbies fans, you guys are the most resilient fans I know, and I'm sure you'll already repeating the mantra that will pull you through until next spring: Hey, there's always next year.

Consider Yourself Dumped, Jordan Catalano
On lazy Sunday mornings, I like to hang out on the couch and have marathons of my favorite TV shows. Every Fall, I get an overwhelming urge to devote at least 8 hours to "My So Called Life", the beloved 1994 series that launched the careers of Claire Danes and Jared Leto. I don't know what it is about the fall, exactly; maybe it's the desire to rock some warm flannel or dye my hair a lovely shade of Crimson Glow. But when the leaves begin to slip from the trees and the air fills with cinnamon and cider (clearly, I live in New England), I find myself putting on My So Called Life episodes and reminiscing about the first time I watched the show, when I was 14 and madly in love with Jared Leto's character, a beautiful but blank young man who went by the name of Jordan Catalano.

You Hate Keira Knightley, And The Times Wants To Know Why
In an article published today in London's Sunday Times, author Shane Watson poses the question: "Why do we hate some women celebrities?" Watson argues that certain celebs, such as Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller, and Victoria Beckham, are often victims of hateration from females across the globe, being cast as stuck-up, arrogant, spoiled, vile, or worse. But why the vitriol, Watson asks, what is it about these women, above all others, that makes them such targets for disdain?

Sarah Palin: "There's A Place In Hell For Women Who Don't Support Other Women"
According to the Huffington Post, Sarah Palin flubbed a Madeleine Albright quote at a rally this morning in California. " "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women," Palin said, when the actual quote is, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't help other women." Apparently, Palin got the quote from a Starbucks coffee cup and decided to share it with the crowd. Well, you know what, Sarah Palin? There are a lot of places in Hell, I'm sure, but I was raised to believe that Hell is for people who sell their souls to the Devil, in a metaphorical sense, by turning their backs on what they believe is right. And Sarah Palin, I don't care if you're a woman. I think you're wrong, and there's no way I'm going to Hell for standing up and telling you so.

SNL: "I Believe Marriage Is Meant To Be A Sacred Institution Between Two Unwilling Teenagers"
I can't think of a better way to start the morning than to post the amazing SNL debate skit from last night. Tina Fey is scarily good, as always, and the lovely Queen Latifah gives a hilarious performance as befuddled moderator, Gwen Ifill, who tries desperately to make sense out of Sarah Palin's circle-talk. I haven't laughed this hard at SNL in a long time. Long live Tina Fey.

Good Morning, Doves!
Well, we made it through our first day of Weekend Jezebel. Thank you all for your encouragement and patience; I had a good time keeping up with you guys yesterday, and I hope you all had a good time as well. We're starting a little later today because, well, it's Sunday, and that's the official Hortense Day to Sleep Past 6:30 AM. I'm sure most of you aren't awake yet, either, but if you are, feel free to share your Saturday night stories in the comments below. Get yourself a cup of coffee, grab a sprinkled donut, and settle in. We're going to have some fun.

Live From Jezebel, It's Saturday Night!
Tonight's episode of SNL should be a great one; with the Vice Presidental debates as fresh fodder for Tina Fey's perfect Sarah Palin impression, and sources reporting that Queen Latifah will join her on stage in the role of Gwen Ifill, it's fairly safe to say that hilarity will indeed ensue. This won't be a liveblog, as I'm a rookie and my liveblog skills aren't ready for prime time yet, but I'm sure we'll all be watching and laughing together in the comments. Have a lovely Saturday night, and I'll see you all in the morning.
