Every year, the folks over at JibJab give us an animated year in review, and they’ve done it again for 2011. You’ll find a lot of 2011′s top newsmakers and stories in the clip below, including (deep breath) Charlie Sheen, Herman Cain, Lindsey Lohan, Dr. Conrad Murray, Arnold’s Schwarzenegger’s love child, unemployment, Anthony Weiner, Rupert Murdoch, the Japan earthquake and non-gay Bert and Ernie

Last night’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ was all about remembering the good times with ex-cast members like Jimmy Fallon, who hosted, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. All three big names are former Weekend Update anchors, and what better way for them to celebrate the fond memories than to throw down a good, old-fashioned ‘Joke Off?’

Nothing says “Christmas” on ‘Saturday Night Live‘ more than Michael Buble, a Sting-dressed Jimmy Fallon, and a slew of other big name talents making an album together. For the follow-up to Buble’s #1-selling ‘Christmas’ album, Justin Bieber (Fallon again), Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and other stars brought together their “talents” for ‘Christmas Duets.’

If you can’t tell by Alec Baldwin’s feud with American Airlines over the whole Words with Friends fiasco, the actor just can’t seem to leave well enough alone. You knew that ‘SNL’ was going to do something about it, but Baldwin actually appeared on the show. And how did he appear? As the pilot of the American Airlines flight he was kicked off of!

It’s December — have you started your holiday shopping yet? If you’re the type of person who waits until the last minute you might be interested in this clip from ‘Late Night,’ where Jimmy Fallon gives us the pros and cons of Christmas shopping.

Jimmy Kimmel’s 2nd annual ‘National Unfriend Day’ was a success. We’ve already shown you how the Peanuts gang wants you to dump some friends on Facebook, now it’s Biz Markie’s turn. But he’s not the only celebrity that gets involved.

For those of you biting your nails, waiting for People Magazine to name their Sexiest Man Alive for 2011, we now have a winner. It’s….’The Hangover 2′ star Bradley Cooper! See the full cover below.

What happens when you’re one of the biggest movie stars in the world, you have a ton of money, and have six kids with your partner, Angelina Jolie? You think about quitting the industry. Brad Pitt recently told the Australian ’60 Minutes’ exactly that. After 20 years, Pitt doesn’t seem as excited by the acting process anymore and thinks that there are other things he’d rather do with his time. He’

Confused, lying musicians Garth and Kat made another appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ last night to promote their Thanksgiving album. Fortunately, this time they weren’t alone. Their “backup singer” Chris Martin of Coldplay came out as their Hail Mary act to save them from scrutiny.

You know that George Clooney gets more ladies than you do, right? Well, it turns out he’s had the swagger for some time now. In an extensive interview for the new Rolling Stone issue, Clooney reveals that he lost his virginity at the age of 16. However, he admits it may have been too early, saying he was “young, very young, too young,” though a lot of guys might disagree.

If there’s one celebrity event that deserves mocking, it’s the recent E! wedding between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, which lasted 72 days. Last night, ‘Saturday Night Live’ spoofed the wedding and the marriage, as well as the inevitable divorce reality show that will probably arise.

What happens when you tell your kids that you ate all of the Halloween candy they collected during the night? As it turns out, lots of crying.
