Comedienne Tracey Ullman to address new citizens at Monticello
Monticello has announced that comedienne Tracey Ullman will be the featured speaker at its annual naturalization ceremony on July 4. Those hoping for her dead-on impersonation of Arianna Huffington, David Beckham or Rachel Maddow, will likely have to wait. Ullman became a naturalized citizen in 2006, in order to be able to vote, after 25 years of living in the United States. Expect in her speech something lively, affectionate, and comparatively straightforward.
As Monticello’s speaker, on a day that will see scores of new Americans take the oath of citizenship, Ullman joins a long list of naturalization ceremony speakers from the arts and politics. They include Madeleine Albright, Andrew Young, I.M. Pei, and, two years ago to mild protest, President George W. Bush.
Since 1963, more than 3,000 people from all over the world have been sworn in as new American citizens at Monticello. The morning event is free and open to the public.

George Gives Tracy Ullman a Plethora of Panties
George Gives Tracy Ullman a Plethora of Panties
The "State of the Union" star talks about smoking pot for the second time in her life, and does a spot-on impression of Snooki from "Jersey Shore." And because her son is obsessed with Olympic medalist Julia Mancuso, George have her the "kiss my tiara" panties made by Julia herself.

American Idol Look-a-like
I have been wondering why a certain American Idol Contestant resembles a Tracey Ullman Character, or even Tracey herself. When I first saw Lilly Scott, I immediately thought of Hope Finch or Chris. Even some people on Twitter thought the same thing. Quite a resemblance, Eh?

BUST TV Episode #1: Casting on with Tracey Ullman
In the first episode of our new series for BUST TV, we get to hang out and chat with the brilliant Tracey Ullman over some knitting. Liz Armstrong talks to Tracey about some of the characters she's developed for the new season of her Showtime series, Tracey Ullman's State of the Union. While Laura Bush, Arianna Huffington, Rachel Maddow, Christiane Amanpour, and Ruth Madoff all in one room together would already make for fun viewing, Tracey manages to contain them all within a single person -- herself! Here she discusses how she develops her characters, what she would like to see for women in the future, and, most importantly, how to cast on.

Ullman Unveils Maddow Impression
By Julie Bolcer
Comedian Tracey Ullman debuted her impression of MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Monday.
Ullman impersonated the lesbian anchor in her latest installment of Tracey Ullman’s State of the Union, which premiered on Showtime Monday, just in time for the real thing to be delivered by President Barack Obama on Wednesday.
In the segment below Ullman portrays Maddow about to sit for the makeup artist, which she calls “the least favorite thing about having my own TV show.”
Arianna Huffington, also portrayed by Ullman, is seated next to her.
Viewers will no doubt have opinions on which liberal media icon Ullman impersonates more deftly. The comedian is scheduled to appear on The Rachel Maddow Show on Thursday.

Tracey Ullman's State of the Union 'Edgier' Than Ever
By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
Jan 3, 2010
"Tracey Ullman's State of the Union" returns to Showtime Jan. 25, and look out! Fans of the multiple-Emmy-winning comedienne can expect plenty of bite in her humor along with the laughs. As one critic put it, she's been moving away from Carol Burnett territory and more toward Lenny Bruce. Ullman agrees that she has more edge.

She tells us, "I'm older and I'm an American citizen now. I think that, psychologically, that allows me to say a little bit more about society and politics -- without being afraid they're going to take my green card away." However, the southeast-England-born star adds, "I'm never mean-spirited. I love this country and I love these people and what goes on."
She also gives credit to her latest collaborator, Bruce Wagner, for making a change in what she does. Says Ullman, "He's a brilliantly funny, interesting person -- and a very good novelist. I think I owe him a lot."
Expect her to continue to take swipes at such social ills as the over-prescribing of medication. (Yes, her hilarious Padma, the Indian pharmacist who gives drug warnings in Bollywood-style production numbers, is coming back.) She'll also endeavor to make fun of today's financial problems. She claims, "It's not all gloom and doom. I'm trying to look at it in a positive way. It's certainly what's going on this year."
Ullman won't be doing an imitation of either President Obama or first lady Michelle. Though her dead-on Laura Bush imitation had jaws dropping a year ago, she hasn't added either Obama to her list of famous characters. She couldn't find any way to make either one "organic," as she puts it.
So, what are her latest favorite celebrities to impersonate at the moment? CNN's Christiane Amanpour and MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow. Because she has a goofy laugh," says Ullman, mimicking the liberal commentator perfectly. She adds, ala Maddow, "I just really admire her. I love her show, and I think she's an intelligent, fabulous woman. My whole family has a crush on her."
