Saturday Night Live's Fake Presidents Join Forces!
Ever wonder what would happen if Presidents Obama, Ford, Clinton, Carter, Reagan and both Bushes had a pow-wow?
Well, Funny or Die is doing you one better!
The satirical site has gathered the Saturday Night Live players, past and present in a seriously funny call for financial reform in Washington, D.C.
Jim Carrey's Ronald Reagan, Will Ferrell's George W. Bush, Darrell Hammond's Bill Clinton, Chevy Chase's Gerald Ford, Dan Aykroyd's Jimmy Carter and Dana Carvey's George H. W. Bush haunt Fred Armison and Maya Rudolph as Barack and Michelle Obama, respectively. In the video directed by Ron Howard, they point fingers and blame each other for the country's current state and urge Congress to pass real financial reform.
"To see all these fake presidents together at once in a fake White House bedroom with fake wigs was very fake inspiring," Adam McKay, cofounder of Funny or Die, says in a statement.
We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Jim Carrey's Love for Jenny McCarthy Goes Sky High
Love is in the air…literally.
Jim Carrey may be a Yes Man, but he said "no way" to a typical Valentine's Day declaration of love. Instead, he hired a skywriter to surprise longtime girlfriend Jenny McCarthy.
When she stepped outside their Los Angeles home Sunday afternoon, she spotted "J [heart] J" flying high.
"Just had sky writer come over our house and write J (heart) J in the sky. So fun. Anybody in LA go look at the sky!," McCarthy swooned over Twitter.
But don't expect the wacky star to pop the question any time soon. The comical couple, who are also divorcees, has repeatedly refuted marriage rumors, saying they're happy just the way they are.
"When you fail at something, even a couple times, I think the universe is telling you something," McCarthy told E! News around the holidays. "For now, we don't need it. We feel married. I'm his wife and I love it."

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy Still Fighting Big, Bad Pharma
Remember when Jim Carrey was just funny?
The French knight and lady love Jenny McCarthy are speaking out again on behalf of their pet cause, the continuing quest to prove a link between childhood vaccinations and autism, an incredibly controversial issue that has scared many and polarized many more.
The latest thorn in their collective side is what they perceive to be the virulent smear on the character and work of British gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield, who authored a landmark paper in 1998 about the possibility that 12 patients with autism and bowel disease were affected by their MMR vaccines.
According to Carrey and McCarthy, Wakefield is now having an awful time getting his current work published, for no good reason other than corporate treachery.
Ewan McGregor's a Real Jedi French Knight; Jim Carrey, Too!
We always thought Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor would look good in silver.
Apparently, so did French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand. He just named the duo knights in the National Order of Arts and Letters, a high honor given in recognition for their contributions to the film industry.
Instead of dissecting intellectual values of Liar, Liar or the cultural significance of Down With Love, Mitterrand simply exclaimed, "I love you Jim Carrey! I love you Ewan McGregor!" during the ceremony earlier today.
The white steed-ready pair is in Paris promoting I Love You Phillip Morris.

Fergie Not Pregnant—Just Fat!
Whoa! Is that Fergie prancing around in Nine, or is it just her fatter twin sister?
Yup, it is the Black Eyed Peas' leading lady. She purposely packed on about 20 pounds to play a pump-alicious 1920s Italian whore in the just-released movie musical.
Ms. Fergie isn't alone in the girth-for-gelt department. She follows in the method-acting, plus-size footsteps of folks like George Clooney, Matt Damon and Charlize Theron, who have also let themselves go to play characters with bigger waistlines, bellies and bootys.
Check out our new gallery for these and more unforgettable Hollywood fatties, including one hottie who packed on a whopping 67 pounds for his wide-load role.
Carrey, Piven and Sports Dudes Unleash the Twitters on Tiger
Not surprisingly, Tiger Woods is a big trending topic on Twitter. And, even less shocking, plenty of celebs are giving their two cents.
Jim Carrey is making jokes while Jeremy Piven thinks there's nothing to see here. And sports stars are especially taking the golf guru to task. Well, sort of.
"I'm in tears," writes Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad OchoCinco. "Hearing about Tiger reminds me when my mom sat me down and told me Santa Clause wasn't real, cmon Tiger you're my idol."
Kim Kardashian's main squeeze, Reggie Bush, has written a four-tweet opus on the issue.
"For those of you who think Tiger 'won't be the same' after this, you guys are crazy! He's maybe the single greatest athlete of our time," he declares. "Oh and he's the First Billionaire Athlete! Trust me he's good! Lol! Doesn't make what he did right, but he's GOOD trust that! I'm specifically speaking on Sports not talking about his personal life! This will only drive him to be greater! Golfer's better watch out!!"
Of course, he doesn't think too highly of Jaimee Grubbs and her recent blab-fest.

Ho-Ho-Hum Weekend for Jim Carrey; Ho-Ho-Worse for Cameron Diaz
Holiday movie season and high Oscar season have kicked off. But only one is kicking butt.
While Jim Carrey's A Christmas Carol led a bah-humbug weekend with an underwhelming $31 million, per estimates, the Oprah Winfrey- and Tyler Perry-backed award-show contender Precious grossed a stunning $1.8 million at only 18 theaters.
Elsewhere, Michael Jackson's This Is It did its thing (solid $14 million here, bigger $29 million overseas), George Clooney's The Men Who Stare at Goats ($13.3 million) did better than expected for a movie with goats and George Clooney in it, and Cameron Diaz's The Box ($7.9 million) just didn't really open.
Stay tuned for the complete Top 10 standings.

Jim Carrey may have played the Grinch, but now he's about to be the Grandpa!

Woo-woo-woo! Sean Penn Joins Three Stooges, Awaits Jim and Benicio
The Farrelly brothers have lined up more than just a few nyukleheads for their next picture.
If the casting gods align, a bowl-cut Benicio Del Toro will be sticking his fingers in the eyes of a puffed-up Jim Carrey while a frowzy-haired Sean Penn watches on in Bobby and Peter Farrelly's update of The Three Stooges.
Del Toro and Carrey are in talks to play brothers Moe and Curly Howard in the film, which will not be a biopic, but rather a slapstick comedy based on the short films the trio made for Columbia Pictures in the 1930s and '40s.
Per Variety, Carrey—smartly sticking with the funny scripts for now—is already planning to pack on 40 pounds to play the jelly-bellied, put-upon Curly, the main target of Moe's slap-happiness and the foil for the majority of the Stooges' most wince-inducing antics.
Penn is already onboard to play Larry Fine—for some, the unsung hero of the Stooges.
Production is expected to kick off this fall with an eye on a 2010 release date. The Farrellys, who will direct the film for MGM, also cowrote the script.
No word on whether Javier Bardem or Mickey Rourke—or perhaps Kevin Spacey—is in talks to play Shemp.
