If it’s anything like the salacious memoir it inspired, we’re in for a tragicomic treat. Interviewer Amy Larocca is right: Fisher’s witty confessional musings make Courtney Love and Kanye West look like amateurs. Read her personal blog… Read More

When he asked if he would apologize in character, Colbert gave this rather meta response, “It would be meant sincerely, though of course it would have to be done as a joke. So your question is very interesting to me. Can someone perceive something my character says sincerely? I don’t know the answer to that.”
