As the World ~~celebrates~~ mourns the end of “Kourtney & Kim Take New York,” Kris Jenner was the subject of conversation at last night’s SAG Awards.

I think we’re all a little tired of the Kardashian’s relentless fame-whoring, and Kristen Wiig expressed our frustrations without saying a word. In an interview on the red carpet with E! the SNL funny lady did a short rendition of her beloved Kris Jenner impression.

She says nothing and does very little acting but her statement is well received. It would be nice to see Kris Jenner let go of her dream to be the fourth Kardashian sister and focus on her most important role, as a mother. There’s still hope for Kylie and Kendall if Kris spends more time worrying about them and less about her own career.

If you were one of the millions of people have already seen “Bridesmaids” eleven times already since it came out last year, you might be fond of this new flick starring at least half of its cast.

Jennifer Westfeldt, who’s been dating “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm for over a decade now, wrote the ensemble comedy, “Friend With Kids”, about two single friends having a baby together. Hamm plays opposite SNL’s Kristen Wiig, as a sexy newlywed couple, while her former costars Maya Rudolph and Chris O’Dowd play a married couple with kids.

As you can see from the trailer, each actor has great chemistry with one another. Even “Transformers” starlet Megan Fox has a charming small role in the film.

“Friends With Kids” hits theatres March 9th.

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

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.

On the red carpet for the 61st Annual Emmy Awards, E! News kicked off a campaign to get Twilight‘s Robert Pattinson a hosting gig on Saturday Night Live.

“We would love to get Robert Pattinson,” said Seth Meyers. “How dare you tell me he’s the hot guy from Twilight, like I don’t already know! We’re actually hoping if he’s not available, at least his hair will come by and host.”

“Oh yeah, he’d be great,” said Kristen Wiig.

Andy Samburg simply gave a thumbs-up and nodded when asked if he thought Pattison would do a good job hosting.

Season 35 of the sketch comedy show premieres on September 26. Megan Fox will have the honour of hosting while U2 performs as the musical guest.

EW is reporting that, contrary to published reports, funny lady Maya Rudolph will not be returning to Saturday Night Live.

Rudolph told NBC execs just yesterday that she is dropping out of her eight season on the show. No official reason for her departure has been given, but a spokesperson for NBC says, “We wish Maya nothing but the best.”

Rudolph was also absent for a large part of last season while she was on maternity leave.

She will be best remembered for her impeccable impressions of Donatella Versace, Whitney Houston, and Beyonce.

Amy Poehler and Kristen Wiig are now the show’s only remaining female cast members. However, new players may join the show, which will feature the rest of the ’06-’07 cast.
