Annie briefly mentioned this in her review of last night's Daily Show, but I wanted everyone to see it for themselves. Jane Fonda appeared on The Colbert Report for the first time since she got a little frisky with Colbert in an appearance last fall. If you remember that appearance (unfortunately, the video for that was pulled from YouTube), Colbert was in a cooking segment with Fonda and another noted feminist, Gloria Steinem. There, Fonda insisted on kissing Colbert on the lips more than once, and those kisses weren't exactly motherly pecks.

So in her return visit -- she was there to promote her new movie Georgia Rule -- Fonda stepped up the flirtation by not just kissing Stephen, but sitting on his lap throughout the entire interview. Stephen, usually pretty prepared for anything during those interviews, obviously didn't expect that to happen, and seemed flustered and a little bashful during the segment (apparently, even at 69, Fonda can do that to a guy). It's pretty good TV; the video of the interview is after the jump.

I've been amazed at the attention this whole Miss USA story is getting. It just proves once again how disgusting the gossip TV shows are, and how lame cable news is.

First off, the press conference that she held with Donald Trump (owner of the pageant) was broadcast live as BREAKING NEWS on the cable networks. At first I thought the Donald had used his hair to sled down Mt. Hood and rescue those guys, but that's another breaking news story. No, this news conference was to announce that...um, hot blonde chicks sometimes drink a lot and dance and party in New York City and do drugs. But she's sorry! And she thanks God for helping her! But mostly she thanks Donald Trump for letting her keep her crown. (Side note: can someone please tell me why Trump is always yelling? Whether it's this press conference or those PSAs for families he does on NBC, he's always yelling. He does know there's a microphone in front of him, right?)
