On TV Envy: VIDEO: Rihanna Talks About Chris Brown to Diane Sawyer

Sarah Palin: No Alaska for Hot New Media Star

Description came onto the election scene much later than John McCain, President-elect Barack Obama or Vice President-elect Joe Biden - but she instantly became the media’s favorite contender. New gossip suggests that Palin may not pack her bags to head back home right away…she just might have some gigs lined up in Tinseltown first.
