In the hours that preceded Sunday night’s Super Bowl, President Obama sat down for a live (and lively) interview with Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. Last night’s O’Reilly Factor was fittingly almost entirely dedicated to dissection of the back and forth, or in O’Reilly’s terms, “was the interview pinheaded or patriotic?” The Fox News anchor took on criticism over his asking of Obama if he was “disturbed that some people hate (him.)”

After his Fox News Sunday interview with Sarah Palin, the show’s host Chris Wallace either rolled his eyes or didn’t, depending on whether you believe MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough or Wallace himself. Whether it matters or not is an entirely separate issue, but the MSNBC accusation was enough to get a response from Fox News and Wallace, who said he absolutely did not. Then, he slammed Scarborough. Video of his defense inside!

It’s Doppelganger Week! (Doppelganger? I don’t even know ‘er!) Just kidding, of course you do — she’d the celebrity everyone’s told you looks just like you! Now you should tell the world! Because looking like a celebrity is cool. Also, J.D. Salinger would LOVE it.

“A mad reader is an engaged reader!” This we know. Everyone who has ever worked in media time-out-of-mind knows this. The blogosphere is built on this model. Cable News increasingly so. Still, knowing that didn’t stop me from being angry; angrier still that it had worked. And it does work. But why does it always seems to work best when women are shown at their marginalized worst? The answer: Sexism sells.

On this Thanksgiving, Mediaite turns 143 days old. We’ll be checking in today between turkey courses, and throughout the rest of the long weekend, but we also wanted to look back on the 143 days since we were first born on that early July morning.

And what better way to look at our history than to break down some of the things we’re thankful for.

Get this: Angelina Jolie thinks Barack Obama is a “socialist in disguise.” This is according to an anonymous source, who provided many spicy quotes to Us Weekly. She also “hates him.” Does this doom Obama’s chances in 2012? Will this tear Angelina and Brad [Pitt] apart? And how does she compare to Megan Fox, anyway?

Well! So the New York Times decided to take a cue from us and get in on the Megan Fox Experience, complete with their own version of an “About 800 Pairs of Megan Fox’s Boobs” slideshow. Since it feels about two months late on the Megan Fox hype (SNL seemed to cap it off) I [...]

Here at Mediaite we have had a disproportionate number of horror-filled posts, about monsters and vampires and zombies and Glenn Beck. And no, this isn’t just an excuse to post a picture of Megan Fox, how dare you imply such a thing!

In between all the search results for “SNL” on YouTube that consist of Jenny Slate dropping the F-bomb, there are a few other clips from other sketches, including the monologue from host Megan Fox and performances by musical guest U2. Alas, no results so far for the quite funny Transformers-inspired digital short (call it ‘D**k [...]

In its 34th season last year, SNL went mainstream — super mainstream. Thanks to Tina Fey‘s uncanny resemblance to Sarah Palin — a Vice-Presidential candidate who revealed herself to be a headline machine in one of the most riveting election seasons in U.S. history — SNL hit its stride with viral video after viral video, [...]

Thursday night in an awkward yet strangely charming interview with Jimmy Fallon, perennial headline-maker and tonight’s SNL headliner Megan Fox spoke of being afraid of the dark, shoplifting Mary Kate & Ashley cosmetics from Wal-Mart in her youth, and how much she loves her Kindle and iPhone game Sally’s Spa.

Just kidding! What, he can joke about killing a frog and I can’t joke about him having a vagina? Whatever. It’s Friday. I can do what I want. IT’S A FREE COUNTRY! IT’S IN THE 9/12 MANIFESTO!* You know what else is in the Manifesto? Number 3 from the 9/12 Manifesto: “I must always try [...]

Oh, leave me alone. SNL’s 34th season kicks off this Saturday night, and Megan Fox is hosting. Even Obama is talking about her. This is news.

Remember yesterday’s ridiculous Vagina Dentata shirt from Top Shop that all of you thought I was just making up as an excuse to write about Megan Fox? Ha! That thing was NO accident and I can prove it — with photo stills from Top Shop’s very own website.

Here’s what Megan Fox said: “Men are scared of vaginas. And then when you give them a powerful, confident vagina, they’re terrified.” Here’s what we learned: That can translate into a stylish t-shirt!

When Megan Fox told GQ last year that “Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands,” she made quite a statement. Just about every media source picked up the saucy story, from Perez Hilton to Fox News. Who was this Olivia Wilde chick, and what [...]

Self-described “newspaper junkie” President Barack Obama weighed in on the shambolic state of the newspaper industry yesterday, and said that he’d be “happy to look at” legislation that let newspapers get tax breaks if they restructured as nonprofits.

You heard me. Aside from being an object of reverence fo millions and having a rather shayna punim, these two have something very specific in common.

Journalists and mediaites might have been a little bitter that they missed out on federal stimulus. But thank god for Megan Fox. Who needs news when we have Megan? Her new movie, “Jennifer’s Body,” premiered this weekend, and everyone with a pen is itching to write about the film’s star. Or, at least, write about writing about the film’s star.

We may not be the biggest car experts on the road, but everyone can appreciate a good old-fashioned duel. So when we heard that Jalopnik Road Test Editor Wes Siler accepted a challenge from General Motors bigwig Bob Lutz to race against the brand new Cadillac CTS-V, our interest was piqued. In the words of GM’s new ad slogan: “May The Best Car Win.”

Vampires are having a moment. True Blood is a much-needed hit for HBO, with its latest episodes passing the 5-million viewers mark; Twilight is already churning out the third movie of its franchise, Eclipse, with newcomer Bryce Dallas Howard upping the star power of the cast. Kevin Williamson’s Vampire Diaries looks like Dawson’s Creek with [...]

Jalopnik has just posted what may be the most naked pageview grab-fest of all time: A gigantimungous photogallery of Megan Fox — she was in Transfomers, which totally has to do with cars, so it makes perfect sense, right?

Since I don’t have the year and a half it would take to count them all, I’m going to guesstimate it at at least 250. She certainly is…photogenic. But we can do better.

Men’s websites waxing Shakespearean have decided that one can have too much of a good thing, and AOL man cave men’s blog Asylum has sparked the August 4th web phenomenon known as ‘Day Without Megan Fox’ that will undoubtedly make tomorrow’s RSS feeds 70% less attractive (if my math is correct). On July 28th, the Asylum staff announced:

We all know sex sells. So here’s a quick look who’s strutting their best stuff on the corner of Link meets Bait.
