Thousands gather at the "Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear" in Washington, D.C. Saturday

Washington, D.C. — The media has spent the last few weeks trying to guess what Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert had planned for their "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" — without much success. But on Saturday (October 30), the day of the event, the attendees had a clear idea of what they expected: to laugh and experience a moment of political and cultural catharsis.
"I expect to laugh and to see just plain silliness," Lilly Pinto, 26, from Arlington, Virginia, told MTV News.
Jen Stokes said she came because she believed the rally provided a healthy political counterpoint to extreme political dialogue. "There have been a lot of Tea Parties in D.C., so it is refreshing to have...

In the midst of a media news blitz ahead of the midterm elections next Tuesday, President Barack Obama made some time to appear on "The Daily Show" on Wednesday night. The president sat down with host Jon Stewart for a humorous interview that was laced with serious critiques. It was the first time a sitting president appeared on the show, and the entire episode was dedicated to the interview.
Stewart opened the interview by proudly presenting Obama with "Mug Force One," a mug with the presidential seal on it. After a brief exchange of jokes, the interview quickly moved to some humorous pointed questions about the gap between Obama's soaring rhetoric and the current state of the nation.

One excited fan, Julia McBrien, was surprised by her friends for her birthday early Tuesday morning, when they showed up to take her to the show. "Taylor Swift looked like an angel," Julia exclaimed after the performance,...

Shia Labeouf gives this advice to an actor working for the first time with fiery director Michael Bay: "You can only do so much. Fight or flight. A tap on the back and a 'Good luck!' "
Labeouf's "Transformers 3" co-star John Malkovich — himself an intensely focused pro — needed no such well-wishes. Although it might seem like a collaboration between Bay and Malkovich would be ripe for an on-set conflagration, no such thing took place. In fact, the actor offered effusive praise for Bay during a recent interview with MTV News.
"I found Michael delightful," he told us. "I found him fun, filled with ideas, many of them different than the take before, which I'm perfectly used to because that's how I work anyway.
