John McCain’s campaign not only praised the senator’s performance on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, but spent even more time talking about the sketch making fun of MSNBC anchor and Tarrytown native Keith Olbermann.
“Honestly, everybody deserves a laugh but if on the weekend before the presidential election they spent more than seven seconds bothering with ME, the campaign staff has even less of a clue than I thought.”
Olbermann then goes on to credit the McCain campaign for helping him beat Bill O’Reilly in the TV ratings, and then teases to this juicy tidbit that he’s going to reveal on his show tonight:
“One last SNL thing: I’ll be reporting the details on this tonight. ask them why Governor Palin didn’t say her first line as scripted three shows ago. As they pulled back from the monitor shot of Tina doing the impression she was supposed to compliment Tina. Could’ve been a real rehab to her image – why’d she refuse?”
Ben Affleck nailed an over-the-top impression of Keith Olbermann this weekend in a sketch for Saturday Night Live.
Olbermann apparently was so curious to see how Affleck was going to portray him that he crashed the SNL set on Friday to watch the rehearsal.
If you’ve never watched Olbermann’s Countdown show on MSNBC, he’s known for being a bit extreme in his commentaries, calling just about everyone a fascist dictator and demanding their resignation.
My fave part was the Special Comment segment at the end. Check out the sketch below:
Heather Salerno scored an interview with Martha Stewart (I’ve been trying for months, grrr) this week about her new book, Martha Stewart’s Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook.
Martha tells Salerno about some of her guilty pleasures, including a “Papaya King hot dog with sauerkraut and mustard.”
We’re getting word that Martha will be in White Plains on Saturday signing copies of the book. Get a chance to meet the domestic titan at the Williams Sonoma store in The Westchester Mall beginning at noon.
In the latest installment of Diddy TV, the Mount Vernon raised mogul’s official video blog, Diddy reminds voters that not only is Nov. 4 election day, but its also his birthday.
And the best present for him, he said, is a black president.
Helping him drive that point in the video are his twin daughters. Enjoy.
Last week, we reported on the hullabaloo about Mamaroneck mayor Kathy Savolt’s attempt to get a ticket thrown out of court she got after being caught for driving while talking on a cell phone.
The story ended up on media outlets all over the country and was even featured on MSNBC on Countdown with Keith Olbermann — a Tarrytown native.
With all the national attention, I asked the mayor, jokingly, if she was shopping around for a book deal.
She e-mailed me saying the coverage was “hysterical,†and added “Next stop – Vice President. I do have the glasses.â€
She was joking, but who knows? Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska — a city with around 10,000 people. Savolt is mayor of a village with almost 20,000 people.
Actress Ruby Dee will headline a benefit for the New Rochelle Council of the Arts tonight. The longtime New Rochelle resident was nominated for an Academy Award last year for her role in the film American Gangster and is a legend for her civil rights activism.
The benefit is a part of Clay Fest — a series of events all across the county celebrating the art medium. I got word that the benefit will also feature a clay pot cuisine, which I have no idea what that is but it sounds scrum-diddily-umptious.
The benefit starts at 6 p.m. tonight at MacMenamin’s Grill and Cheff Works at 115 Cedar Street. To purchase tickets call the council at 914-235-9027.
I can’t go but if you do, e-mail me pics at aali@lohud.com and we’ll feature them on Suburbarazzi!
Diddy is reportedly in talks with studio execs to star in a biographical film about old school rapper Terry “T La Rock” Keaton. Denzel Washington is expected to direct the film.
T La Rock is best known for his 1984 hit “It’s Yours,” which helped pave the way for the hip-hop movement in the 1980s. In 1994, he suffered a tramautic brain injury after trying to break up a fight in the Bronx.
In other Diddy news, the rap mogul was ticketed in Miami last week for blaring the music in his car too loud. You can ask him to turn down the volume, but I thought I told you that he won’t stop, thought I told you that he won’t stop.

Palisades native Hayden Panettiere was seen coming out of a Jay Z concert in Hollywood last week when she stopped to talk to Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom.
(Forgive me for my faux French, its a celebrity gossip blog, so don’t judge me).
To me, the news is no surprise. I reported last month she was “freaked out” by marriage talks from her boyfriend and Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia. And she moved out of her family’s home to buy her own bachelor pad. It’s just a matter of time before her breakup becomes public.
Milo, it’s over bro. This is one cheerleader you can’t save.

Former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber was the keynote speaker at the dedication of the new Hudson Valley Cerebral Palsy Association in Southeast over the weekend.
Barber is one of only three NFL players to have over 10,000 career rushing yards and 5,000 career receiving yards. He’s the first player in NFL history with over 1,800 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in a single season.
These days, Barber has become somewhat of a TV star as an analyst for NBC sports and he covered the Beijing Olympics this year for MSNBC. He was also a contestant in June on  Celebrity Family Feud.Â
You can check out the pics our photog snagged of him on Friday in our Lohud photo gallery.Â
Palisades native Hayden Panettiere stars in a video on Funnyordie.com claiming she’s hot enough to get viewer’s attention for 30 seconds as she talks about John McCain.
Actor Bill Murray is now publicly talking about his divorce after leaked court documents revealed his estranged wife is accusing him of “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment.”
“I was just dead, just broken,” Murray said. “When you’re really in love with someone and this happens — I never had anything like this happen. It’s like your faith in people is destroyed because the person you trusted the most you can no longer trust at all… The person you know isn’t there anymore.”
Murray talked about the divorce while promoting his latest film City of Ember, which is getting not-so-stellar reviews over at Rotten Tomatoes.
The suburbs are full of A-list (and plenty of B-, C-, and D-list) celebrities. Consider this a loving tribute to the beautiful, the wealthy, the talented, and the Baldwin of the Lower Hudson Valley.
