• Apparently, big stars don't always translate into big ratings (**except when your name is Oprah). Jennifer Aniston's episode of 30 Rock was the sitcom's lowest rated show this season. (E! Online)

• Rosie O'Donnell says she'd love to share a brewsky with Sarah Palin! But that doesn't mean O'Donnell wanted Palin anywhere near the Oval Office. "If [John] McCain won," says the former View cohost, "I would be in the depression unit of the ICU." (Usmagazine.com)

• MADE coach-turned-Bachelorette ex Jesse Csincsak says he and DeAnna Pappas are still friends despite the whole not-getting-married thing. But for now, he's taking things "one day at a time." (OK!)

• "Rogue" governor (and possible 2012 presidential nominee??) Sarah Palin teared up during Senator John McCain's concession speech. Elsewhere, talk show host/Obamama Oprah Winfrey was reportedly "vibrating" with happiness over Barack's victory. Not to mention openly weeping. (Stereohyped)

• We always knew Chuck Bass was a sure thing -- but we had no idea he was also a SHOE thing. Either way, Ed Westwick's officially the new face (foot??) of K-Swiss! (Just Jared)

This weekend, presidential hopeful and self-declared "Sad Grandpa" John McCain swung by NBC's Saturday Night Live to show voters he has a sense of a humor -- and slightly above-average comedic timing. Fortunately for "Mac", the Republican had a little help from SNL vet Tina Fey, who donned a designer suit and a thick Alaskan accent to impersonate beehived/bespectacled hockey mom-turned-VP nominee, Sarah Palin.

The big shocker? Most of the good lines went to McCain, who artfully poked fun at his campaign's relative shortage of funds -- and celeb donors -- and even gave our very own Heidi Montag a shout-out! (Well, y'know, another one.) Anyhow, check out the video, then let us know whether you think Spencer should be jealous of Heidi's major "in" with the Senator...

If you had the chance to ask Barack Obama anything in the entire world, what would it be? No wait, don't tell us -- tell him. See, MTV News is gonna have a sit-down with the country's leading democrat and they're giving you guys a chance to come up with the questions. (It's freedom of speech at its greatest, folks!)

So whether you're pro-Maverick or ready to Barack the vote this coming Tuesday, head on over to MTV Tr3s and tell us what YOU wanna know about the man who has a 50/50 shot at becoming our nation's 44th president. Then tune in on Monday, November 3rd (at 9am and 7pm) to see whether your questions made it on the air.

And trust us -- this is one opportunity you don't want to miss. As they say in weddings, speak now ... or forever hold your piece.

UPDATE: Watch the interview online now at MTV.com!

• This just in: presidential hopeful John McCain to spend the last Saturday before next week's elections on SNL!

Yesterday, the internet was all abuzz over those pix of Spencer and Heidi flaunting their staunch McPalinism. (We especially liked the clever t-shirt slogans and pretend reading material.) And while Speidi's made no secret of their political leanings (remember Heidi's power-lunch with Megan McCain??) or strong religious beliefs, they hadn't yet made their views on gay marriage known until now.

"I think it's your own choice," Montag told reporters at E! Online. "I think, you know, whoever you decide to marry—boys, girls, whatever you like—it's up to you." And apparently, Spencer's standing by his woman on this one.
