Katie Couric talks to Sarah Palin AGAIN! Tina Fey, RU watching?

This just in: Here is this weekend's script for "Saturday Night Live's" political skit starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler:

The official transcript of Katie Couric's second chat with Gov. Sarah Palin, which airs tonight on the CBS Evening News.

Couric, like a blond pit bull with lipstick, grills Sarah about homosexuality, abortion, drilling in Alaska, evolution, feminism, the morning after pill and how, like, really ancient Joe Biden is. ...

And it turns out that even John McCain doesn't agree with his running mate on Alaskan drilling!

Read it and chuckle:

COURIC: The vice presidential candidates hold their one and only debate this Thursday night in St. Louis. Joe Biden and Sarah Palin spent part of this day preparing, separately, of course. Before that debate prep, I spent some time with Gov. Palin on the campaign trail. AND, in an exclusive interview, she spoke frankly about a number of controversial issues, including at least one disagreement with Sen. McCain.

The day began early. After being briefed by her staff, Sarah Palin heads out with her 14-year-old daughter Willow in tow.

"So nice to meet you," CBS News anchor Katie Couric said to Willow.

At 8 a.m., Palin hit the ground running -- accompanied by Couric.

"Do you have any down-time, though?" Couric asked Palin.

"I get to go running every day, which is my sanity," Palin said. "Sweat is my sanity."

First, a photo-op with hotel staff.

Then it's off to the McCain campaign plane, where CBS News was invited up front to ask a handful of questions. Couric asked Palin whether she considers herself a feminist.

"I do," Palin said. "I'm a feminist who, uh, believes in equal rights, and I believe that women certainly today have every opportunity that a man has to succeed, and to try to do it all, anyway. And I'm very, very thankful that I've been brought up in a family where gender hasn't been an issue. You know, I've been expected to do everything growing up that the boys were doing. We were out chopping wood and you're out hunting and fishing and filling our freezer with good wild Alaskan game to feed our family. So it kinda started with that."

Couric: Before a rally in Columbus, Ohio, the candidates sat down with me for their first joint interview, where McCain and Palin focused on energy policy.

Couric: Gov. Palin, almost every expert says it will take about 10 years for domestic drilling to have an impact on consumers. So isn't the notion of "drill, baby, drill" a little misleading to people who think this will automatically lower their gas prices, and quickly?

Palin: And it's why we should have started 10 years ago tapping into domestic supplies that America is so rich in. Alaska has billions of barrels of oil and hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of clean, green natural gas onshore and off-shore. Should have started doing it 10 years ago, but better late than never. It's gotta be an all-of-the-above approach to energy independence.

Couric: Gov. Palin, I know you'd like to see drilling take place in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And Sen. McCain, you oppose this. You call it, quote: "one of the most pristine and beautiful parts of the world."

McCain: Uh huh.

Couric: Who's right?

McCain: Did you expect two mavericks to agree on -- to agree on everything? Look, I ... we just have, we'll be talking more and more about this issue. We do agree on the off-shore drilling and other means of limiting our dependence on foreign oil. But for us to agree on everything would make us, I think, a little boring. You can ... say a lot about us, but we're anything but boring. Palin has brought plenty of energy to the campaign, attracting huge, enthusiastic crowds, like one at Capital University.

Couric: Her trademark feistiness is on display as she delivers a punchy sound bite about her rival, Joe Biden.

"I'm looking forward to meeting him too. I've never met him before. But I've been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade," she said at a campaign rally.

Couric: You have a 72-year-old running mate -- is that kind of a risky thing to say, insinuating that Joe Biden's been around a while?

Palin: Oh, no, it's nothing negative at all. He's got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we've been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he's got the experience.

Couric: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?

Palin: I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.

Couric: What, specifically?

Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.

Couric: Can you name a few?

Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, "Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?" Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.

Then it's off to the bus where she sits down for a wide-ranging interview.

Couric: What's your position on global warming? Do you believe it's man-made or not?

Palin: Well, we're the only Arctic state, of course, Alaska. So we feel the impacts more than any other state, up there with the changes in climates. And certainly, it is apparent. We have erosion issues. And we have melting sea ice, of course. So what I've done up there is form a sub-Cabinet to focus solely on climate change. Understanding that it is real. And ...

Couric: Is it man-made, though, in your view?

Palin: You know there are -- there are man's activities that can be contributed to the issues that we're dealing with now, these impacts. I'm not going to solely blame all of man's activities on changes in climate. Because the world's weather patterns are cyclical. And over history we have seen change there. But kind of doesn't matter at this point, as we debate what caused it. The point is: It's real; we need to do something about it.

Couric: If a 15-year-old is raped by her father, do you believe it should be illegal for her to get an abortion, and why?

Sharon Stone is a total wack-a-doodle  drama queen.

Oh, please. Tell us something we don't know.

Last week's news was that Sharon had lost custody of her son, Roan. Then it was reported that she hadn't. But the judge had refused to grant her request for her son to live full-time with her in Los Angeles.

So joint custory is still in effect with her ex-husband Phil Bronstein, who lives in San Francisco.

Now we know why. TMZ is reporting some alarming news about Sharon's mommying skills.

The site cites a court-released "Tentative Statement of Decision," a document describing a bitter battle between Stone and Bronstein.

The concern is simple: "Mother appears to overreact to many medical issues involving Roan."

She was convinced he had a spinal condition. He didn't, sez the court.

She also thinks he needs Botox because his feet smell.

According to the court docs, "Another example of an overreaction is that Mother suggested that Roan should have Botox injections in his feet to resolve a problem he had with foot odor. As Father appropriately noted, the simple and common sense approach of making sure Roan wore socks with his shoes and used foot deodorant corrected the odor problem without the need for any invasive procedure on this young child."

The judge says the difference between Bronstein and Stone is simple:

"Father has championed for Roan's well-being out of, what appears to this Court, nothing less than the unconditional love for his son. Unfortunately, and for unexplained reasons, it appears that Mother did not involve herself to the extent she could or should have in this process ... Unfortunately", the problem caused by Mother's overreactions is painfully real for this child."

TMZ says it has called Sharon Stone's rep and is still waiting to hear back.

Can't wait to hear what the rep says. This should be a doozy.

What do you think? How do you feel about this news? Other than feeling really, really sorry for her three sons.

Sean Penn plays San Francisco's first openly gay politician, Harvey Milk, in Gus Van Sant's new film, "Milk."

James Franco plays his longtime lover/partner Scott Smith.

Franco tells Out Magazine that the first person Sean Penn told about his first man kiss (with Franco) was not his wife, Robin Wright-Penn. Nor was it Petra Nemcova.

It was his ex-wife, Madonna.

"After the first kiss, it broke the ice. And then after our kiss Sean texted Madonna -- his ex-wife, Madonna -- and said, "I just broke my cherry kissing a guy. I thought of you. I don't know why." And then she wrote back and said, "Congratulations."

Weird. (Unless you're a star and have an indie profile movie to promote.)

Can you imagine getting a text message from your ex-husband telling you he just kissed guy and thought of you?

At one point during rehearsals, it was suggested that Franco and Sean Penn spend the night together in an apartment to "feel comfortable" with each other, Franco told Out.

To find out how that went, keep reading. You know you gotta.

Whose side are you on, dear reader? Team Amanda Peet or Team Jenny McCarthy?

Amanda Peet, a spokeswoman for vaccine advocacy group Every Child by Two, recently referred to parents who choose not to vaccinate their children as "parasites" in an interview.

She has now apologized, saying, "I believe in my heart that my use of the word 'parasites' was mean and divisive; I completely understand why it offended some parents, and, in particular, parents of children with autism who feel that vaccines caused their illness. For this I am truly sorry."

But Jenny McCarthy, whose 6-year-old son has autism and who is fighting to educate parents  about what she contends is a connection between vaccines and autism, is still really, really angry.

"She has a lot of [nerve] to come forward and be on that side, because there is an angry mob on my side, and I like the fact that I can say she's completely wrong,'' McCarthy tells the upcoming issue of Spectrum.

Autism United, a national advocacy group, is also angry and calling for a boycott of the actress' movies.

"We want to send a clear message to her," the organization's executive director, John Gilmore, told Fox News Pop Tarts. "Ms. Peet's comments are deplorable and an apology will not suffice. We applaud Jenny McCarthy's continued efforts and for speaking up for our community."

How did new mom Peet get involved with the Every Child by Two group?

Word is that the American Academy of Pediatrics put out a casting call for a star representative to combat McCarthy's anti-vaccine campaigning. Peet, in a word, auditioned for the role.

What do you think? Should children be vaccinated?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's speech to Congress about the financial bailout proposal was so spot-on, so intelligent, so full of common sense and perspective that some are crediting the California Democrat with stopping the $700-billion Bush bailout bill in its tracks. Watch these videos and see if you don't wish this woman was running for president. Or at least vice president. Obama/Pelosi might have been such a winning ticket that we could have been spared this spectacular flame-out of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. What do you think? Do you admire Pelosi? Do you agree with her on the $700 billion bailout? Would you like to see this woman on a presidential ticket?

Janet Jackson has been hospitalized in Montreal, Canada.

The singer "got suddenly ill during the sound check" before her concert in Montreal and had to be rushed to the hospital, according to People.

A statement was released by her PR firm, W&W Public Relations.

Jackson, 42, is being monitored at a Montreal hospital, and there are plans to reschedule the show.

This isn't the first canceled stop. Last Friday, she called off her Detroit show due to "production constraints," according to TMZ.

She plans to reschedule that show as well. The Rock Witchu Tour also features LL Cool J, and is slated to continue until Oct. 22.

While promoting her new album, "Discipline," in April, Jackson canceled an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" due to bronchitis, according to boyfriend and producer Jermaine Dupri.

Get better soon, Janet!

That album reportedly needs more promotion.

Mickey Rourke's career has gone through some remarkable transformations in the past two decades.

He's gone from being a promising young boxer to a bad boy movie star, from a failed pro boxer to a coulda-shoulda-woulda Hollywood has-been.

And it ain't over yet. Mickey Rourke is back on his feet with "The Wrestler," and the role of a lifetime,  Randy "The Ram" Robinson, an over-the-hill wrestler with one last Rocky-esque shot at glory.

Rourke is currently basking in the best reviews of his career, including the top acting honors at the Venice Film Festival and raves at the Toronto Film Festival. The Oscar buzz is already deafening.

"This is for a film with a truly heartbreaking performance in every sense of the word. And if I say heartbreaking, I mean Mickey Rourke," Venice's jury president Wim Wenders declared.

Variety's Todd McCarthy writes of Rourke's "galvanizing, humorous, deeply moving portrait that instantly takes its place among the great iconic screen performances"

But his career isn't the only thing that's undergone a  noticeable transformation. Being back in the limelight has brought media attention, public scrutiny and questions about what the heck happened to Mickey Rourke's face?

But many people may not recall that Rourke, an amateur boxer before he became an actor,  quit acting in 1991 and stepped in the ring full time, becoming a pro boxer. Although Rourke left the boxing ring in 1994 without ever getting his title shot, the sport's scars stayed with him. He had endured severe facial pummeling that left him with a broken cheekbone, a split tongue and a mashed potato nose. Not to mention broken ribs, knuckles, toes and a few concussions.

Over the past decade, it looks as if Rourke has had several surgeries, some to repair boxing damage, some to repair the repairs, and some possibly purely cosmetic. The results are far from natural. He's quoted on Salon.com admitting,  'I went to a certain kind of doctor. I believed it would make things different.'

Rourke was devastatingly handsome when he burst on the Hollywood scene in "Body Heat," followed by "Diner," "Rumble Fish" "The Pope of Greenwich Village. His most infamous role was in  "9 1/2 Weeks" (1986)  with Kim Basinger, who would later curiously refer to him as "the human ashtray."  He also got down and dirty with Lisa Bonet in "Angel Heart" and managed to make the drunken poet Charles Bukowski loveable in "Barfly" in 1987.

Ironically in the 1989 film, "Johnny Handsome," the actor wore heavy makeup to play a man with facial deformities who is surgically transformed into a handsome guy who looks like the original Mickey Rourke. Today, his life seems to have been that movie, played in reverse.

Rourke returned to acting in 1994, not exactly looking like he did when he'd left. He's worked a bit here and there. But his most memorable role before "Wrestler" was in Robert Rodriguez's 2005 "Sin City." To play Marv, Rourke's face is smothered in groteseque layers of latex that make him resemble a graphic novel palooka with a heart of gold.

Without latex, that's exactly what also shines through in "The Wrestler."

ReliaStar Life Insurance Co., which wrote Heath Ledger's $10-million life insurance policy just six months before his death, is being sued over failure to promptly pay that claim.

According to TMZ, the lawsuit says that ReliaStar is acting in bad faith by launching its own investigation into the actor's death. Apparently, they don't buy the New York City medical examiner's conclusion that Heath's death was an accidental overdose.

The suit was filed by a trustee for Matilda, 2,  Ledger's daughter with actress Michelle Williams. The money would go into a trust set up for Matilda.

TMZ says lawyers for Matilda claim this is all a time-wasting ruse to keep from having to pay the $10 million.

More from TMZ: "The company alleges in its answer to the lawsuit, 'ReliaStar is entitled to investigate Plaintiff's claim to determine if the "Suicide" provision is applicable.' "

What a shock! An insurance company that doesn't want to pay on a policy and is trying to prove it was a suicide so they don't have to pay! Imagine that!

ReliaStar's lawyers are going to try to take depositions from Mary-Kate Olsen, as well as that mysterious masseuse who made the calls to her from Ledger's apartment, costars on his last film, "The Dark Knight," his agents, doctors, psychiatrists etc.

In other words, this could take years.
