NEW YORK — "Saturday Night Live" has replaced a flu-ridden Janet Jackson with another diva: Mariah Carey. Carey, 37, will fill in for Jackson on the March 15 "SNL" telecast, NBC announced Wednesday.

Jackson, 41, was scheduled to perform live Saturday night in support of her latest album, "Discipline," which was released last month. The singer's publicist, Patti Webster, said Tuesday she dropped out because she has the flu and "needs some time to get better."

Carey's latest album, EMC2, arrives April 15.

Replace one self-involved diva with another. Some humor is based on self-deprecation. Can't see that happening with either of them.
The writers are going to be working overtime on this one.

Franken agrees to $25,000 fine

Published: March 6, 2008 at 9:42 PM

MINNEAPOLIS, March 6 (UPI) -- Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken has agreed to pay a $25,000 penalty for not carrying workers' compensation insurance for former employees.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Thursday that Franken is disputing the fine -- levied by the state of New York for not having coverage for about three years on employees in his entertainment production office in New York -- but decided to pay the judgment anyway.

"We decided to make the payment and the accountant can deal with the files," said Jess McIntosh, a spokeswoman for the Franken campaign.

The newspaper reported that if the state Workers' Compensation Board was in error, Alan Franken Inc. would receive a rebate on the penalty.

By paying the fine now, Franken was not surrendering his rights, the newspaper said.

The funniest thing will be Mariah attempting to conjure up some charisma on stage. Poor girl can't sell out her tours, ever. I guess marrying the head of your record company and many rappers gets a person lots of payola. I can never find anyone who actually likes a Mariah Carey song.
