If Sarah Palin can do for the economy what she's done for Tina Fey and television ratings, then she just might just have won our vote.

Juuust kidding!

But, Sexy Sarah has proven to be a bit of a lucky charm for Tina Fey, whose hilarious portrayal of the Little Lady from Alaska not only bolstered SNL ratings, but has drawn people back to her own Emmy award-winning 30 Rock.

And, it's gotten the show some new eyeballs too!

Thursday night's premiere debuted to 8.5 million viewers, 21% more than last year's debut. And with a guest appearance from Oprah Winfrey scheduled for next week's show, ratings are sure to continue to climb.

The rest of the NBC family landed the network in third place, with ratings for My Name is Earl dropping slightly, while Kath & Kim and ER experienced slight raises.

CBS won the ratings race despite mild drops in their strongest shows, such as Survivor (7%), CSI (17%), and Eleventh Hour (6%).

In second place ABC experienced ratings jumps with Grey's Anatomy and Life on Mars, with a slight drop in Ugly Betty's viewership, despite the Lindsay Scanadal.

Fox found itself in fourth place while the CW rounded things out with a fifth place finish.

Earlier this week the Olsen twins, Lindsay Bihan and saMAN Ronson all hit the 'exclusive' West Village-NYC lounge, Beatrice Inn on the same night.

The Olsens were apparently there to celebrate their book release and Bihan was, "getting wild like the good old days" according to a snitch.

Interesting note…the source also said that the Olsens never once interacted with Bi and her MAN.

Guess Bi's not cool enough for the twinsies!

Well, last time MK and LL got in the same vicinity together, Lohan screamed at Olsen, "Get away from my girlfriend, bitch.:

So we don't exactly blame the Olsens for keeping their distance.

They were just scared for their safety!

The network is urging all Californians to vote NO on Prop 8!

We hoped that someone would give y'all free coffee for voting, and our wish came true…for Floridians.

Starbucks Florida stores just released this statement:

Floridians have persevered through hanging chads, faulty touch screens and long lines, and for that, Starbucks is rewarding voters statewide on Election Day.  On Tuesday, November 4th, voters who wear an "I Voted" sticker or show their voter registration card in any company-owned Starbucks Florida location will receive a complimentary tall brewed coffee.

 This is the perfect opportunity to try the newly launched Thanksgiving Blend, a limited edition coffee created by Starbucks coffee experts in collaboration with Tom Douglas, renowned chef, culinary entrepreneur and the 2008 Bon Appétit Restaurateur of the Year. Thanksgiving Blend is a flavorful combination of full-bodied beans from Sumatra, with hints of fine herbs, and beans from Guatemala, which add subtle spice, notes of cocoa and a pleasant sparkle.

Will other Starbucks across the land follow suit?

One Day at a Time's resident rebel without a cause, Mackenzie Phillips just scored a Get Out of Jail card on Friday with a guilty plea to felony drug charges.

The actress was arrested at LAX after baggies and balloons of drugs fell down her pant leg at security.

Yikes!

She will avoid jail time, but she does have to enroll in a drug diversion program instead. Once she completes the program, however, her guilty plea will be dropped, excising the incident from her records altogether.

Her lawyer, Blair Berk, also parts seas, walks on water, and makes rabbits appear out of top hats.

Phillips told the court, "I want to thank the Los Angeles Police Department and the Airport Police for stopping me — they saved my life" and then checked herself into rehab.

This will be Phillips' 10th stint in detox.

You know what they say: if at first you don't succeed….

Just go back to rehab!
