Well-placed sources tell TMZ Queen Latifah is getting in the middle of the Sarah Palin/Joe Biden VP debate by portraying last night's moderator, PBS journalist Gwen Ifill, on "SNL" this week.
For the third time this season, we're told Tina Fey will be back, hysterically not answering questions as Palin. You betcha! No word yet on who has been tapped to play Biden.
Thanks to Latifah -- and since "SNL" has no female African-American cast member -- the world is saved from seeing Amy Poehler in black face.

Talk about giving a guy a complex, when a network says his genitals are "undetectable." 
The high and mighties at the Parents Television Council are on the warpath again, filing an indecency complaint with the FCC after Marcus Lehman's bits aired unobscured on the debut of "Survivor: Gabon." It was the first episode in the show's history to be shown in hi-def and yet no one noticed the guy's twig and berries hanging out. Don't worry Marcus, we've always heard it's more in how you use it, anyway.
CBS claims it was "completely unintentional, inadvertent, and fleeting" and "undetectable when viewed in real time." PTC says, "CBS's decision to hide behind excuses ... is the epitome of irresponsibility."

"Project Runway" is unable to catwalk its way to Lifetime TV, thanks to a judge's ruling Friday that keeps the show under NBC Universal's suede leggings -- for now.
Problems started when NBC claimed the Weinstein Co. -- which produces the show -- made a $150 million deal with Lifetime. That move would remove the show from NBC's Bravo channel. NBC claims their "right of first refusal" for the show was violated.
All involved are set to return to court Oct. 15.

If voting were up to the cast and crew of "DWTS" -- we're told Warren Sapp would be the first one to go.
Our spies at "DWTS" tell TMZ Sapp may have big personality when the cameras are rolling, but his big head and man-diva attitude are causing problems behind the scenes.
We're told Sapp talks down to everybody (especially the guy dancers and production assistants), yells at people and consistently walks out of rehearsals with partner Kym Johnson.
Move ovah, Shannon Elizabeth!

TMZ has learned Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus want off "Hannah Montana," and their conduct has triggered a war on the set.
Our spies on the set tell us Miley has bragged that she will get fired, making it clear she wants to focus on singing and not the show. For his part, Billy Ray has also made it clear that there is more money in singing than a Disney cable show. As a result, the father-daughter team has been showing up to the set ridiculously late, stalling production and infuriating cast and crew.
Emily Osment, who plays Lilly Truscott, used to be extremely tight with Miley. Now we're told Emily is so bitter she literally turns away from Miley after each scene. We're told Emily's dad got in a screaming match with Billy Ray, complaining he and Miley were unprofessional.
Sources tell us Billy Ray has told people on the set that he and Miley will do 12 more episodes and then they are out. Disney was so pissed they called his agent, railing that Billy Ray and Miley were ingrates. Disney insisted that Billy Ray and Miley not only finish the 24 episode season -- but Disney was adding six more episodes.
To put it mildly, this set is far from the happiest place on earth.

... about how much he makes on "Entourage." 
After a night of partying inside Hyde nightclub, the dude who plays Ari's whipping boy assistant got all financial on us when we asked how much jack the crew pulls in saying, "I live comfortably and I bet everybody else makes more than me ... so I think everyone's getting paid a lot."
Oh ... and he also made out with his boyfriend.
