John Shearer/Getty Images; PAUL J. RICHARDS/AFP/Getty Images Mike Huckabee talked about Natalie Portman on the radio this week, but it wasn't to congratulate her on the Oscar win. The former Arkansas governor and possible GOP presidential candidate in 2012 instead rolled the celebrity dice and used Portman as an example of the "distorted image" Hollywood supposedly provides of single motherhood.

You may not see pop singer Katy Perry with Elmo on "Sesame Street," but you can see her on NBC this week when "Saturday Night Live" kicks off its 36th season. "Sesame Street" this week decided not to air a Katy Perry-Elmo segment because the singer was too scantily clad, something that may well find its way into an "SNL" skit this week. The guest host is former cast member Amy Poehler, who now stars in the NBC comedy "Parks and Recreation." Poehler, on the show from 2001 to 2008, co-anchored...
