The other night I saw the documentary that is currently in theaters about the fashion magazine Vogue and it’s prominent Editor in Chief, Anna Wintour.

I just found out that my favorite new Saturday Night Live cast member of last year, Casey Wilson, was recently fired from the show and will not be coming back this season.
