This document summarizes and reviews recent entertainment news stories in less than three sentences: Rumors that Betty White would host Saturday Night Live were confirmed, as the television icon said "Yes" she will appear on the show. Reports also surfaced that 1980s child star Corey Haim passed away at age 38 after a long struggle with drug abuse, having been recently seen on the A&E reality show "The Two Coreys" about his life with friend Corey Feldman. During his radio show, Howard Stern was criticized for trash-talking Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe from the movie Precious, seen as crossing a line by targeting her appearance.
