Gawker.TV, Community gets sexually charged, Wanda Sykes is not happy with NBC's Black History Month lunch menu, Wallace Shawn gets to the root of Jon Stewart's daddy issues, football for the ladies, and a contestant on Millionaire insults Meredith Vieira.
NBC made yet another blunder yesterday when The Roots' ?uestlove posted a photo to his twitter of the network's lunch menu created for Black History Month. Sykes was not amused and asked, "is the whole damn network on medical marijuana?"
Today at Gawker.TV, A&E's Hoarders discovers the ultimate cat lady, a Spanish Lost, clues your relationship is over, and late night hosts joke at Tiger Woods expense, while the Chinese animate his car crash for the world to see.
George Lopez and Wanda Sykes are both minority comedians hosting new late night shows. They both promised to bring something new to late night. Looks like all they're doing is recycling each other's tired, old, racist jokes.
After his Details shoot with a naked woman and talking about his deep lady love, Adam Lambert continues to do a shitty job convincing us he has any interest in female genitalia. This time it's for homo mag Out.

Hollywood know it's all in the title. What else after all, distinguishes a Saw 5 from a Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant?
• Olivia Palermo's imaginary career is on fire. The City star is reportedly leaving her "job" at DVF to "work" in the publicity department at Elle. So if you see anything in Elle that seems to have been ripped from another magazine, now you know who to blame. [P6]

The glad-handing, back-slapping yukfest of reporters getting cozy with politicians and the occasional celebrity that is the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner just ended. And Obama's roast absolutely killed it.

20/20 co-anchor John Stossel turns 62 today, which means that mustache of his has been planted on his face for close to four decades now. Comedian and recently-axed CNN host D.L.

Nature, nurture, or Leno? That was the question last night when Jay Leno hosted the newly out (and pissed at Proposition 8) Wanda Sykes.
