Andy Samberg’s rap trio is so funny, and between the ridiculous set pieces and an appearance from Michael Bolton, it was hilariously absurd!

Andy Samberg‘s comedy group The Lonely Island had an epic performance at the 2011 Emmy Awards, and we think it was easily the most memorable moment of the night!

Andy, 33, and his boys rapped their biggest hits in front of some ridiculous nautical-themed sets, but the best parts were the super-strange cameos. Michael Bolton crooning in pirate gear for “Jack Sparrow?” Check. Akon singing the awkwardly raunchy hook for “I Just Had Sex?” Check. The involvement of John Stamos? We’re captivated!

What do you think, HollywoodLifers — was this your favorite moment of the show?

Sarah Palin has revealed the original plans for DWTS was to have her husband Todd Palin rock a sequined jump suit and do his best tango…but doesn’t that defeat the whole point of the show?

The circus that follows Sarah Palin‘s life could have easily been more of a madhouse if original plans panned out for her husband to join this current season of the ABC hit, Dancing with the Stars.

The 46-year-old politician was at a speaking relationship in Houston Oct. 5 when she revealed the cringe-worthy info about her husbands potential dancing stint. “They wanted Todd to be on the show,” the former Alaska governor gushed, adding, “I think that would have been cool to see, too.”

We can only imagine that Todd would have gotten bashed for his dancing from Bruno more then Michael Bolton!

Why have Bristol or Todd when the cream of the crop would be Sarah herself?

She quickly retorted with a mention of her infamous basketball skills, “They would have to let me dribble back and forth and maybe pivot and do a jump shot or something as part of the routine.”

Would you want to see Todd on DWTS or has the Palin’s ship sailed?

After Bruno called Bolton’s jive ‘the worst in eleven seasons’ of ‘DWTS,’ the Artist Formerly Known for His Mullet went off, calling him ‘disrespectful’ and demanding an apology.

But tonight, he’ll have his chance to hit back. So what should Michael Bolton sing tonight when he replaces Susan Boyle, who had to pull out with a “severe infection,” on Dancing with the Stars?
If he’s got revenge in his throat after being slammed by Bruno on last week’s show, may we suggest “Every Breath You Take” by the Police? And this is a little weird, but how about Alanis Morissette‘s “You Oughta Know?”

If Mike can reach back into the blues canon, I’d personally vote for JJ Cale’s “River Runs Deep,” with the following lyrics: The river runs deep and the water is cold as ice … Ain’t no woman going to make a fool out of me … She’s at the bottom of the river dead. Dark? Yes. Menacing? Oh, yeah.

Ultimately, though, maybe he’ll take the high road and go with his 1991 smash ballad “Time, Love, and Tenderness.”

What do you think he should sing?

The former ‘Dancing’ contestant says she feels bad for Michael, but can’t understand why he is so surprised by Bruno’s harsh judgment!

It looks like Michael Bolton is not getting any sympathy from former Dancing With the Stars contestant Kelly Osbourne following his recent criticism from judge Bruno Tonioli! Kelly said at Teen Vogue’s 8th Annual Young Hollywood Party on Oct. 1, “I think he was really harsh on Michael Bolton. But when you watch it you can understand why he was really harsh. He’s a judge that’s what he’s supposed to do. You wouldn’t tell Howard Stern “I want an apology” when you go on his radio show. Yes he was hard but, don’t go on a show where you’re going to get judged if you don’t want to be judged.”

Kelly’s amazing new figure, which she flaunted in Zac Posen last night, was the result of her time on Dancing. As for who she is rooting for this season Kelly said, “I’m definitely voting for Margaret. And it’s not just because she’s Louie partner. She’s what the show’s all about. She’s there because she wants to learn how to dance. Not because she wants to change her career.”

So HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Kelly’s comment to Michael?

Do YOU think Bruno went too far with his over-the-top criticism of Michael?

Chalk it up to all his years on the NBA basketball court, because Rick Fox has perfected the art of sportsman-like conduct. When it comes to taking sides in Brunogate — the case of Dancing with the Stars judge Bruno Tonioli versus recently booted contestant Michael Bolton — he’s like Switzerland…totally unbiased.

“It’s the harshest I’ve ever seen [the judges],” the 41-year-old former athlete said at the ARCADE Boutique event to benefit CII Sept. 29, referring to Bruno’s remark that Michael’s jive this week was the “worst [I’ve] ever seen.”

He quickly added, “So I don’t know what Bruno saw based on the judging, but he’s very passionate about critiques. He was just very clear and strong.”

Although Michael, 57, was deeply offended by Bruno’s critique and called it “inappropriate and disrespectful,” Rick hopes the two men reconcile.

“I hope there’s communication between the two of them because I know Michael had a wonderful time until that point,” he said. “But Bruno’s doing his job.”

Personally, Rick hopes his own rave reviews continue, and credits his success to good, old-fashioned hard work.

“[It takes] a lot of preparation and support at home and at the gym from my partner [Eliza Dushku],” he said, adding, “And gracious judging right now!”

The easy listening crooner is getting heated over remarks made to him by judge Bruno Tonioli!

Iconic adult contemporary recording artist Michael Bolton, he of “How Can We Be Lovers?” fame, can rock a ponytail, seduce any lady with his smooth tenor stylings, and, it appears, start up one heck of heck of a feud. Michael is demanding an apology from Dancing with the Stars judge Bruno Tonioli after he was told his Sept. 27 performance was, “probably the worst” ever on the program! Ouch!

Michael responded to Bruno’s rude remarks, calling them “inappropriate and disrespectful.” The audience seemed to agree with Bruno however when they sent the pop superstar home, perhaps to write more tunes with close pal and fellow nineties icon, Kenny G.

We can only hope Michael and Bruno quickly end their fight because, in all honesty, how can they be lovers if they can’t be friends?

Michael Bolton’s horrific jive didn’t sit well with the judges or America, but Brandy and her bad attitude shouldn’t have made the cut!

Tootles, Michael Bolton! The 57-year-old crooner should stick with singing love ballads now that his professional dancing career is over after getting the boot from ABC’s Dancing with the Stars Sept. 28.

After scoring 12 points out of 30 on his wretched jive to “Ain’t Nothing But a Hound Dog” the night before, it’s no shocker voters didn’t pick up their phones for Michael. Unfortunately, Brandy was the performer I really wanted to see voted off — her attitude drives me nuts!

When all three judges commented on her “unpolished” and “sloppy” jive Sept. 27, the 31-year-old R&B singer blamed her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, instead of accepting the notes and moving on. It was off-putting…she should have smiled and accepted her 21 points instead of pointing fingers at her coach. Laaame.

I’m not going to get too riled up about the decision tonight thought. Michael was no good and he deserved to go home. Thank goodness it wasn’t one of the gems of the show, “Bristol the Pistol” Palin or Mike “The Situation” Sorrention…that would be have been tragic!
