Hollywood Headlines: A crazy week in review

Jimmy Fallon's house band, The Roots, is in hot water over a little prank they pulled on Michelle Bachmann. As she walked onto the stage Monday, the group played a cover of Fishbone's "Lyin' Ass Bitch," but Bachmann didn't realize it until after the show aired. While doing press for her new autobiography, the GOP presidential candidate lashed out at the prank, calling it sexist and a "form of bias," noting that they would never pull a stunt like that with Michelle Obama. NBC and Fallon later apologized.
