Katy Perry Hosts Saturday Night Live: A Christmas Sweater to Remember

Posted by @coltondaniel on December 11th, 2011


Last night, Katy Perry fulfilled her teenage dream by hosting Saturday Night Live with her touring buddy Robyn as musical guest.

She’s been on a stampede of success over the past few weeks – named one of Barbara Walters’ Most Fascinating People of the Year, shot down a few more divorce and pregnancy rumours, won a few American Music Awards,sported a new haircut and oh, nominated for a handful of Grammy awards. Then the singer-turned-host dawned the seemingly haunting deed of hosting Saturday Night Live. At first, she seemed insanely nervous during her opening monologue as she impersonated the Rockefeller Christmas tree, but her sexual tension with Kristen Wiig brought it back around.

Earlier this week, Perry took a break from rehearsals to talk about the experience. “It’s fun on the outside, and on the inside it’s a lot more hard work than I can ever imagine. So it’s nerve wracking but I always love a challenge and this is something new, so it’s challenging but I’m up for it. And if I completely embarrass myself, I’ll just stick to music. I’ll fall back on that.”

And that’s exactly what happened. Perry appeared through at least nine sketches where she parodied Christina Aguilera, recent musical guest Florence Welch, Pippa Middleton and herself on a Finnish talk show. Her renditions of the above-mentioned music stars were flawless. But, be sure to check out her digital short with Andy Samberg, Matt Damon and Val Kilmer.

SNL-alum and Late Night star Jimmy Fallon hosts next weekend with musical guest, Michael Buble.

Barbara Walters Announces Ten Most Fascinating People of 2011

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 30th, 2011

Barbara Walters always wraps up the year by announcing the top ten people that have fascinated her the most.

She just unveiled the top 9, according to ABC News.

Royal family member Pippa Middleton made the list. She certainly made heads turn during the Royal Wedding this summer.

Another Brit, Simon Cowell made the list, probably for his controversial roles as judges on popular talent shows. And maybe for finally joining the Twitterverse.

Then there’s the two actors who play gay parents on the hit show “Modern Family”, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet.

Captain of the New York Yankee, Derek Jeter also made the list. It’s probably under her contract to include at least one athlete every year.

Donal Trump trumped other business tycoons by appearing on Barbaras list. I bet he paid her a pretty penny for it.

Katy Perry also fascinated Barbara and the rest of the world with her lavish wedding to Russell Brand and all her number one hit singles off of “Teenage Dreams”.

Barbara also included the entire Kardashian family on the year-end list, hence the photo posted above. I think she misinteruperated “fascninating” for “annoying”, though.

The number one person who was the most fascinating person of 2011 will remain a mystery, until her special airs on ABC Wednesday December 14.

Oprah Winfrey Is “Not Even Kind of a Lesbian”

Posted by RM Franks on December 8th, 2010

Excuse the obscure nature of this post, but in dramatic news, Oprah Winfrey is assuring the world she is not a lesbian to put an end to any swirling rumours about her and longtime gal-pal Gayle King. I’m “not even kind of a lesbian,” the TV host tells Barbara Walters in an ABC interview.

Oprah also comments on her longtime partner since 1986, American businessman Stedman Graham, and how the two are still happily together. While Graham is rarely mentioned, his union with Oprah is widely known.

The Walters-Winfrey special is scheduled to air this Thursday night on ABC, where hopefully many fascinating tidbits are revealed. Perhaps she will admit that one of “Oprah’s Favourite Things” is actually only one of her second favourite things. I’m lookin at you Sarabeth’s Kitchen Jam. Your spreadability was less than ideal.

Barbara Walters Ready for Her Recovery Following Heart Surgery

Posted by Jacob Morris on May 14th, 2010

A rep for Barbara Walters says that the daytime talk-show co-host is “recovering as expected” following her heart surgery, reports People.com.

The 80-year-old host of The View underwent surgery to replace a faulty heart valve on Friday.

“[Her] surgery went well and the doctors are very pleased with the outcome.”

Walters made an announcement on The View on Monday, saying that she has “known of this condition for a while now,” but wanted to keep the surgery a secret.  Walters said, “I thought it best not to talk about it too far in advance.”

Walters is ready for some time off, she says.  “Since the summer is coming up, I can take a nice vacation.”  Her recovery is expected to last between one and three months.

Jessica Simpson: Will have a baby before she is forty

Posted by Angelina Irinici on March 18th, 2010

We all have one: “backups”. You know, in high school you promise your best guy friend that if you are both single by the time you’re forty you will get married? Well, some of us have anyway and although you’d think celebs would be the last to need a backup, Jessica Simpson has one. The dose.ca reports:

The singer and reality star appeared on Barbara Walters’ Sirius XM Radio show called “Here’s Barbara” and revealed that she will have a child by the time she is 40 with, or without a husband. She is going to use her hair stylist and dear friend Ken Paves, who happens to be interested in men.

The blonde bombshell is only 29, and still has plenty of time to meet Mr. Right, but has had some bad luck in the dating pool as of late. There are rumours that Simpson is dating Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, but she was there to set the record straight.

GLADD Defends Adam Lambert

Posted by Vanessa Baker on December 7th, 2009

Adam LampertThe Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation claims ABC is treating Adam Lambert with a double standard, reports E! News.

Following the former American Idol contestant’s controversial performance at the American Music Awards, the network announced it was cancelling three upcoming performances by Lambert. He will not appear as scheduled on Jimmy Kimmel Live or Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve because the network claims his performance at the American Music Awards differed greatly from what was rehearsed. However, Lambert will be performing on The View and will be named one of Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009.

Adam Lambert Loses ABC, Picks Up Barbara Walters

Posted by Emma Renda on December 4th, 2009

Adam LampertControversy or not, American Idol-runner-up Adam Lambert made his chart debut at #3 this week. For Your Entertainment sold almost 200,000 albums in its first week, overtaking the New Moon soundtrack, following his controversial performance at the AMAs in New York City.

It’s no surprise then that Lambert has been invited for an interview on Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009 television special which will air Dec. 9. Walters has also enlisted Lady Gaga, Kate Gosselin of Jon & Kate Plus 8, vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, NFL quarterback Brett Favre, filmmaker Tyler Perry, Fox News host Glenn Beck, South Carolina’s first lady Jenny Sanford, and Michael Jackson’s three children, Paris, Prince Michael and Prince Michael II.

Adam Lambert is an interesting candidate, as the majority of his appeal has popped up following his AMA appearance. Openly gay, Lambert used his performance of “For Your Entertainment” to showcase a display of sado-masochistic sexuality, then shoved a male-dancer’s face into his nether-regions and kissed his keyboardist. The event caused such a stir he was dropped from ABC’s Good Morning America (the same network that airs Barbara Walters 20/20).

Controversy Giants Make Barbara Walters Top 10 List

Posted by Stephen Baldwin on December 1st, 2009

Lady GagaBarbara Walters has announced her annual top 10 most fascinating people of the year. It is reported that 2009’s show will include Lady Gage, Sarah Palin, Kate Gosselin and Adam Lambert.

Both Sarah Palin and Lady Gaga have become notable sign of female empowerment world wide. Palin recently released book disclosing the details of her personal and political life – over the course of her book tour she was frequently asked whether she’d be running for president in the next election. Lady Gaga has endured one-hit-wonder and shock value accusations; proving herself as a popular mainstay on the international music scene.

For Lambert and Gosselin, though, it’s a different story. Gosselin’s popularity arose out of marital controversy with her husband that very conveniently played out during her reality TV show, Jon and Kate plus Eight. Lambert had minor success after American Idol, but his popularity skyrocketed when he controversially made out with a male band member during the American Music Awards and then mocked oral sex with another male on stage.
