It's the first time we've seen the once upon a time Colbert Report host since he ended his show, and we've got to say: we dig the new look.

We hate to bring more attention to this white and gold v. blue and black dress debate – because let’s face it, the media has been talking WAY too much about it as it is – but it seems that musician John Mayer has a thing or two to say about it via his Instagram account. And well, following those possible marriage and wedding rumors with girlfriend Katy Perry, we figure we could squeeze in just a little be more of Mayer into the news.

Looks like not everyone was thrilled with Dakota Johnson's appearance on last night's Saturday Night Live. Not necessarily because of her actual performance, of course. We're actually speaking of a certain sketch that has now caused a Twitter outrage online. In a father-daughter commercial parody, SNL player Taran Killam played a father dropping off his daughter, who was played by host and 50 Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson, at the airport.

The sketch left many viewers feeling that the legendary NBC sketch show crossed the line. Read More »
