SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE IN THE SENATE.... As of late yesterday, we have a reasonably strong sense of what to expect in the Senate with regards to the health care debate. We don't yet know how it's going to turn out,...
Ashlee Simpson created a huge ordeal after her lip synch performance on Saturday Night Live. If you saw this performance, you were probably shocked that anyone would actually go on a live show and lip synch during their song. Ashlee was also booed when she gave a sub par performance during a Orange Bowl halftime show [...] This post was written by the Super Media Blog Ashlee Simpson Saturday Night...
The best-kept secret in Washington has nothing to do with nuclear codes or Dick Cheney's undisclosed location. It's this: Al Gore is actually pretty funny. Funny enough, in fact, that he managed to raise a daughter who wrote for "Futurama." (Also "Saturday Night Live," but let's just forgive her for that.) Gore does pop up now and then doing cameos in various comedies -- like Thursday...
This is JLo's new single. And it's called "Louboutins" (pronounced " Looweebatons " in JLo-talk). I understand if the song title alone makes you want to shut down this browser window, open up your iTunes and punch it really really hard. I understand. Because once you realize this song is not a Digital Short from Saturday Night Live, you really won't be laughing. This shit may be...
"Against an enemy . How good bad music and bad reasons sound when one marches against an enemy!"--Friedrich Nietzsche, The Dawn SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE . Health care reform faces a crucial vote in the Senate this weekend. SQUANDERED TRUST . Being too nice to bad banks may have more than financial costs. THIS COULD BE AMUSING . Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship is set to debate Robert Kennedy...
Dan Aykroyd. The "Saturday Night Live" alum and one-half of the Blues Brothers brings Crystal Head Vodka, his Canada-made elixir with roots based in mythology, to the metro area for bottle signings today and Saturday.
Last night we went to The Museum Gala at the American Museum of Natural History . I have fond memories of visiting this museum when I was a kid; it's always great fun to back as a grown-up. Cocktail hour in the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda: The dinosaur skeletons are as giant as I remembered: All smiles with Chappy during cocktails: Many cast members of Saturday Night Live were at the benefit: Dinner...
Andy Samberg was in Chicago this past Sunday at a YLD event. Switching gears, Bazer and Samberg discussed the comedian’s Jewish identity. He said his parents raised him with a strong cultural Jewish identity, but, at first, not a particularly religious one. One day his sister, in the fifth grade at the time, came home from her Jewish day school and said, “We’re way more Jewish than...
Julian Casablancas I Wish It Was Christmas Today The Strokes' frontman takes a foray into the dangerous world of the Christmas single with this sparky cover of a song that was originally 'Saturday Night Live' parody.
My monthly deadline has been met, so I can return to the land of the blogging. This afternoon while working I was listening to the 1980 DEVO album Freedom of Choice, which I've always thought was their best. I remembered that when the album came out, the band made an appearance on the ABC late-night show Fridays (which was a short-lived attempt to emulate the success of Saturday Night Live) that
I don’t know, you guys — I have a sneaking suspicion this guy might be a funnier Saturday Night Live host than last week’s January Jones. I know! It’s a crazy thing to say! It’s just an instinct. ILI (I love instincts).
Of all the "Best Of..." lists issued at the end of the year, one that has really captured the attention of comedy fans is TBS's enormously popular special FUNNIEST COMMERCIALS OF THE YEAR, now entering its sixth year. Comic actor Kevin Nealon (Weeds, Saturday Night Live) will return to host this year's hilarious one-hour compilation, which will be shot in various locations throughout New...
TV Guide reports that Aaron Sorkin (Sports Night, The West Wing, Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip) will be returning to television: Sorkin tells TVGuideMagazine.comthat – like his previous series Sports Night (set around an ESPN-style sports news show) and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (set around a Saturday Night Live-esque sketch comedy show) – [...]
Here's a shocker: something from Sarah Palin's memoir that hasn't been disputed. Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers confirmed a claim made by the former Republican VP candidate that she asked the writers to remove a rather ribald joke from Amy Poehler's rap performance that referenced the phrase "drill, baby, drill" during her appearance on the show last year. The full joke went, "When...
Tuesday’s World News with Charles Gibson showed clips of an interview between Barbara Walters and Sarah Palin which will air on Friday’s 20/20. At one point, Walters seemed to allude to the fact that there is a misconception that Palin once claimed that “I can see Russia from my house,” during the 2008 campaign, as evidence of her foreign policy experience. The famous line...
Taylor Swift sang, “You might think I might say/something bad about Kanye/and how he ran up on the stage and ruined my VMA monolgue/but there’s nothing more to say/because eberything’s okay/I’ve got security lining the stage.” She also took a jab at “Joe” (that is, Joe Jonas) and sang that we might expect her to say something about “dating the werewolf from Twilight” — but instead, she silently mouthed...
Shakira was this weekend’s musical guest on Saturday Night Live , showcasing a pair of songs from her upcoming album She Wolf . The Colombian pop sensation rocked out “She Wolf” with a keytar player and werewolf howls, and brought along some traditional Korean drummers for “Did It Again.” Taking her Latin-infused pop style to network television, Shakira was spotted performing on “Saturday Night Live”...
Taylor Swift is going to show just how "Fearless" she can be. The country superstar is getting ready to host "Saturday Night Live" for the first time. Following in the footsteps of idols like Britney Spears who played double duties as host and musical guest, Swift will headline the November 7th show. There'll definitely be a mocking of her infamous Kanye-interrupted MTV acceptance speech.
