Carey Mulligan and Stephen Colbert Visit ‘Reading Rainbow’

---

Can’t read? You can still become an Academy Award nominated actress, or that’s what we got out of this clip from last night’s The Colbert Report. Fortunately LeVar Burton is here to help Stephen Colbert and the lovely, but illiterate, Carey Mulligan. And he brought along his reading glasses. We’ve missed you LeVar, where have you been?

The Tweetsplainer: Welcoming Bill Clinton to Twitter

---

Welcome to Twitter, Bill Clinton! The nation’s 42nd president officially started tweeting last night as @billclinton. He’s been on Twitter since the beginning of the month, when Stephen Colbert took the liberty of creating Clinton’s account at @prezbillyjeff and sending out his first tweet. However, last night Clinton officially took control of his account, switched his handle, got verified and has sent out three tweets, at the time of this writing.

This is all very exciting, President Clinton! Next you can ditch that Yahoo email address and switch to this new thing called Gmail. Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow, Bill, am I right?

But the online world can be a very scary place, especially for an outsider. Twitter especially, where users can sometimes seem to speak in an entirely different language. There’s no need to be discouraged, though, because Celebuzz has put together a little tweetsplainer, if you will, to help you hit the ground running… 140 characters at a time. These are some things you might run into, and how to respond.

#FF

This stands for “follow Friday” and is the practice of recommending interesting or important people for others to follow on Twitter. As a former President of the United States, I would imagine that you qualify as both and will probably get plenty of #ff mentions tomorrow. All hail your Klout score.

---

#TBT

This is another popular hashtag on Twitter and stands for “throwback Thursday,” in which Twitter users post old pictures of themselves each Thursday. As you will learn, Twitter is a very aliteration-friendly medium. If you’d like to participate in #tbt, might we suggest the photo on the right as your first entry.

---

#FollowATeen

It’s probably best that you don’t participate, but this is a game on Twitter in which adults choose one random teen on Twitter to follow and subsequently provide their followers with random updates about their teen’s life. “My teen is fighting with her bestie about homework,” for example. Why do you ask? First of all, this is the internet, President Clinton, and no one has to explain why anything here. Second of all, I don’t know, it’s funny?

If you’re looking for more information, BuzzFeed’s Katie Notopoulous explains the more specific rules of #followateen here.

‘Yo, Is a Picture of You?’ Direct Message

It’s not; don’t open it. Just don’t. No, someone is not sending you an old picture of you playing the saxophone on the Arsenio Hall Show. It’s spam and clicking the bit.ly link attached to the direct message will hack your account and send the same message to everyone who follows you. As you’ve already amassed nearly 400,000 followers, this would be very annoying. And while we’re on the subject of direct messages…

---

You Can’t Send a Picture Via Direct Message!

You can’t. Seriously. It’s unclear why politicians sometimes think they can send pictures via direct message, but you cannot. Just ask Anthony Wiener. You’ve had some issues in the past, President Clinton, but it’s okay, we all forgave you. But messing up again might be the last straw. As President George W. Bush says, “fool me one, shame on you, fool me — you can’t get fooled again.” Or something like that.

---

Anyway, welcome to Twitter, President Clinton. We hope this was enough information to get you started.

Jimmy Fallon Talks Hosting "The Tonight Show" in GQ's April 2013 Issue

---

Stepping away from his "Late Night" desk, Jimmy Fallon scored the cover spot on GQ magazine''s April 2013 Style Bible.

The 38-year-old comedian rocked Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren for the Peggy Sirota-shot spread while chatting about everything working with Stephen Colbert to taking Jay Leno''s spot on "The Tonight Show."

Check out a few highlights from Mr. Fallon''s interview below. For more, be sure to visit GQ!

On standing out from the rest of the kids in the neighborhood:
"Yeah, the cool crowd was always beyond my grasp. Like, my parents had a fence, a chain-link fence, and my sister and I were not allowed outside it. I was only allowed to ride my back in my backyard. Like Gus the polar bear at the zoo? That was me. Kids would say, ''What are you doing, man? Come out.'' I was like, ''I can''t.'' We got a rope swing. On a tree. We had to wear football helmets to ride the swing. Kids could see us. They would pull up on their bikes so they could watch the Fallon kids, so weird. You know, ''Why are you wearing football helmets?'' We''re like, ''So we don''t hit our heads!''"

On the possibility of hosting "The Tonight Show":
"I mean, in the nicest way, who really cares? In the nicest way. It would be great, sure, I guess. I''d love it, but it''s not on my mind. I''m in no rush to do anything. I''m kind of a boring character in that book. I''m not in a fight with Jay or Conan, or any of them. I don''t have that story."

On the experience he tries to offer for viewers of "Late Night":
“On Late Night, it’s like we’re all in on the joke. That’s what I wanted it to be. I’m not doing something sneaky. Inside jokes, I don’t like those. We can all ride together, and everyone’s on the same thing going, ‘Aha, I know where you’re going here.’ And if we get weird, everyone knows, ‘Okay, we’ll go for that little ride of being weird.’ Or if I go, okay, I’m going to try to be Neil Young and sing ‘Pants on the Ground.’ We’re all just going to ride it out, laugh, and we’re going to be like, ‘This is so silly,’ but it’s happening. It’s…a happening. That’s such a ’60s word. But that’s what it is. It’s intimate and we’re all having the same experience. A happening.”

On collaborating with Colbert:
“And Colbert, by the way, is so underrated to me I don’t even know. Can you even understand he’s doing a character for how many years now? This is unheard of in comedy. He’s doing something that people will talk about forever. We did a whole bit where we were BFFs, and we became enemies and we hated each other. And then we sang Fievel the mouse, ‘Somewhere Out There.’ Looking out the window, remembering that we were best friends. Such a smart guy. I love him so much. He’s one of my favorite guys to play with.”

On his "SNL" laughing habit:
“Definitely a comedy foul. Lorne didn’t like it. I didn’t like it. But the sketches I laughed in became popular. At the end, it was like the audience was waiting. The studio started to shake. Like an earthquake. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. Torture.”

One conversation that''s sure to be a talked on tonight''s episode is the disastrous vacation she and her beau Jason Sudeikis had in Jamaica.

Yesterday, while doing an appearance on "The Late Show With David Letterman," Wilde opened up about the pair''s daring and wild kayak adventure saying, "It got a little too treacherous and I turned around and Jason was gone. Gone! I saw an upside down kayak . . . and suddenly I realized that I was about to go over. This went on for quite a while."

After Sudeikis successfully resurfaced, the 28-year-old beauty said "we were rescued by a team of fisherman. They had been watching us with binoculars. I''m sure they were taking bets on who would go down first."

To see what Miss Wilde talks about tonight, tune into "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central at 11:30/10:30c.
