Last night's American Idol finale was bitter sweet as we said hello to a new star and goodbye to our old friend Simon. (His wise-cracks and snooty 'tude were the only reasons I watched the show! Good thing he'll soon be judging a new series!) Check out a few snaps from the extraordinary event including the crowning of this season's Idol. Spoiler Alert! If you haven't yet watched and don't know who won, don't click below the fold!

Betty White was a hit on SNL this weekend. She had me in hysterics. Did you catch her in action? She rocked it. Check out a few clips...

P.S. It was one of the funniest episodes in a long time! I have high hopes for next week too... The season finale with their favorite repeat guest: Alec Baldwin!
Without a doubt, I'd have to say J.C. Wiatt (AKA Diane Keaton in Baby Boom). This was one of my absolute favorite movies growing up. I was five when it came out (do the math!) and absolutely obsessed. And I still am. Anyway, we all know the story. The ultimate yuppie career-driven city girl unexpectedly becomes the guardian to a baby girl. She has to learn to be a mother and juggle work with family. She experiences hurdles along the way (getting fired!, moving to the country!), and eventually realizes (epiphany!) that motherhood is the best job of all. Love love love this movie! Love Diane Keaton. And that baby is insanely adorable.
Honorable Mentions: A few more of our favorites...
Kate (AKA Tina Fey) and Angie (AKA Amy Poehler) in Baby Mama.
Donna (AKA Merly Streep) in Mamma Mia!
Mrs. Gump (AKA Sally Field) in Forest Gump.
Edwina (AKA Holly Hunter) in Raising Arizona
M'Lynn Eatenton (AKA Sally Field - again) in Steel Magnolias.
