Jack Nicholson, Lorne Michaels and Paul McCartney rolled out to catch the Yankee game together last night. Wonder who paid for the peanuts?

At least two of them probably make more than Jeter, but the real question ...

"Saturday Night Live" will not let a silly little beating stand in the way of what could be a rating's bonanza.
Kenan Thompson told Us Magazine Chris Brown is more than welcome on "SNL" anytime, saying, "We don't care about scandal. We just care about what brings us ratings! If we had them both on the show, that would be crazy."
But wait, there's more. Kenan says, "I know how women can get when you get a text message from another female, so I'm just saying -- you have to learn that you can't put your
hands on a female."
Kenan calls the whole Rihanna thing "an unfortunate situation."
There's a Latin phrase, res ipsa loquitur. Translation: The thing speaks for itself.

The Hampton Social @ Ross welcomed its usual crowd of aging New York celebrities -- and Mischa Barton.
The former "OC" actress arrived dressed like a futuristic flapper bot, with a wacky Willie Nelson headband. Flap, flap, flap away!
Also attending: comedy power couple Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, Sirius mega-millionaire Howard Stern and fiancee Beth Ostrosky -- who wasn't scared off by Howard's heinous shirt. Richard Gere dropped in, as did newsboy Ed Burns with model wife Christy Turlington, a not-so-fresh looking Renee Zellweger, and "SNL" mastermind Lorne Michaels.
Newest alcohol anklet wearer Eve was spotted at the U.S. Open tennis party at the Gansevoort Hotel, and "Sea of Love" actress Ellen Barkin had lunch at the Bread Factory Cafe.
Spotlight Live hosted WWE's "Biggest Fan Party" in Times Square, where wrestlers took the stage -- to sing karaoke! Seen leaving the event were monster-sized wrestler Batista and WWE Championship title holder John Cena.
All this and more in today's Grab Bag edition of New York Star Catcher!

"Commander in Chief" is going on a six-week hiatus, making way for a new comedy from "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels as part of ABC's midseason schedule makeover.
The White House drama, which brought Geena Davis a Golden Globe last month for her portrayal of the president, will air through Feb. 28. It will be replaced in its 9-10 p.m. EST Tuesday slot March 7 by the sitcom "Sons & Daughters."
ABC will air back-to-back episodes of the half-hour show during its run. The comedy's ensemble cast includes Fred Goss, who's also an executive producer, Max Gail and Dee Wallace.
"Commander in Chief" will return April 18th for its final four new episodes of the season, the network said Wednesday. In all, the drama will air 19 episodes, shy of the usual 22, reflecting earlier production delays.
Last October, ABC turned the "Commander" reins over to veteran producer Steven Bochco ("NYPD Blue," "L.A. Law") after filming fell behind under series creator Rod Lurie, although Lurie remained with the show.
The freshman show has had an uneven ratings history. It premiered in the top 10 with more than 16 million viewers but saw its audience erode, dipping to as low as 10.4 million viewers in its last airing.
