When The Kooks are in the studio they’re focused and most importantly, sober. Watch Hugh and Luke explain their reasoning below.
The Kooks released a new album called “Junk of the Heart,” and you would think Hugh and Luke would be very excited about it. Well, they seemed rather indifferent to be honest. We spoke about that and why they don’t care about critics.

Daniel Radcliffe is back with his new movie The Woman In Black. It’s a bone chilling remake of a film from the ’80s. Ironically, Daniel actually scares very easily but he’s not afraid of ghosts. In this interview he tells us what really gives him the creeps.
Next time you’re struggling to make conversation, try asking this question: “If you could invite anyone (living or dead) to the perfect house party, who would it be?”
Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.
Diamandis from Marina and The Diamonds talks to us about her very serious disease. It’s called synaesthetic. And we lied, it’s not a disease. More like a cool condition. Diamandis explains further.
Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.
The 54th Grammys are on tomorrow night and is hosted by none-other than hip-hop legend LL Cool J – and if you can’t be there, might as well stalk those who are via Twitter.

The son of God ironically predicted a Broncos loss on Saturday night during a sketch on Saturday Night Live.
Jason Sudeikis plays a snarky Jesus who’s weary of Tebow’s overwhelming dedication. Tebow, played by Taran Killam, spends most of the video pandering Christ with fangirl-like affection.
All is going well until Jesus asks who the Broncos are playing Sunday and then the skit really takes off.
Jesus tells the Broncos’ locker room that he won’t be able to help out the Sunday they were playing the Patriots.
“If I’m the son of God, Tom Brady’s got to be the guy’s nephew,” Jesus says.
The irony here is that much like the story of creation, after six wins, the Lord takes the seventh game off to rest.
In just over 36 hours, the video has already gotten over a million views on YouTube. Let us know what you think of the parody below. Did they go too far?
Newly single ladies like Demi Moore, Taylor Swift and Zooey Deschanel can start their new year off right by picking up flirting tips from Rebecca Larue.
Okay, so Rebecca is only a fictional character played by Kristin Wiig on SNL. But, her expert advance really rings true.
For instance, flipping your hair back and forth (kinda like Willow SMith but more sexy) lets a guy know you’re ready to party. Constantly giggling, even if someone’s not being funny is a great way to flirt. There are other obvious ways to successfully flirt with a guy, as Rebecca Larue points out.
Watch the hilarious SNL skit below.
When Robyn was announced as the music guest on last week’s episode of Saturday Night Live, the writers had to pay homage to the incredibly talented Swedish perform somehow.
SNL actor Taran Killam spoofed Robyn’s video for “Call Your Girlfriend” which uses a singel camera shot while she dances alone, wildly. Taran tried to match the video outfit as close as possible and even tries to emulate the club-like lighting by getting a coworker to flick around a flashlight.
At the 2-minute mark you can see Taran try to pull off the same gymnastic dance moves Robyn successfully does in the video. Taran’s dance space is very limited compared to Robyn’s but he never breaks character, and that’s something to applaud him for.
Watch Taran’s take on “Call Your Girlfriend” below, before checking out Robyn’s original video.
Last night’s Saturday Night Live previewed a clip from the upcoming film from the makers of ‘Valentine’s Day’ and ‘New Year’s Eve’… it’s ‘Apocalypse’.
It stars “literally thousands” of your favourite celebrities, from Drew Barymore (Kristin Wiig) to Penny Marshall (Fred Armisen) to Christina Aguilera (Katy Perry) – even “that kid from Modern Family” (Bobby Moynihan). “It’s love… at last sight” in this hilarious parody of over-indulgent saga of date movies. It was one of the highlights of last night’s Katy Perry-hosted show.
Though didn’t Funny or Die do this earlier in the week with ‘Christmas Day’?
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.
Fresh from her pepto-bismal inspired performance at the American Music Awards last night, Katy Perry has been confirmed as the host of the December 10th episode of Saturday Night Live.
Perry has spent the past year racking up hit singles from her album “Teenage Dream” and touring the world with her California Dreams tour. Swedish pop star Robyn, who opened up for many of California Dreams’ gigs, will be the episode’s musical guest.
Perry has dabled in comedy already, as she guest starred on on How I Met Your Mother and provided the voice for the Smurfs animated movie. Katy’s husband, British funnyman Russell Brand, hosted an episode of SNL back in February and is very likely to turn up in this episode.
It seems to be a recent trend, showing up to your best friend or significant other’s SNL show. From Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield to Jason Segel and Paul Rudd this past weekend, lots of hosts are getting a cameo for their close loved ones.
A very pregnant Tina Fey hosted a special Mother’s Day episode of “Saturday Night Live” last night.
To celebrate the event, Fey brought out fellow expectant mom Maya Rudolph for a belly-bump greeting, and a song devoted to their soon-to-be-born children.
The lullaby had lyrics such as “I cannot wait to know you,” then quickly segued into a raunchy ode to procreation: “You are the proof that we’ve been doin’ it….makin’ super sexy heat…your mom and daddy been doin’ it!” Mid-duet, the two even had a faux sonogram while each fetus, played by Keenan Thompson and Kristen Wiig, sang along in utero.
After announcing last week that she was pregnant, January Jones’ ex Jason Sudeikis is left speechless about the news.
Even though the Saturday Night Live star can flawlessly recite a whole new set of dialogue each week, he was tongue tied when asked about his ex’s pregnancy and declined to say much at all when it came to talking about Jones, whom he broke up with in January.
“I’d rather — yes but no,” he said to the Washington Post when their interview shifted from his career to Jones’ unborn baby.
And when the actor was asked if he was surprised to hear about the pregnancy, his response was even more non-responsive.
“No, I–…No, I didn’t have anything [else to say].”
Awkward…..
But it seems like he knows just as much as we do.
Jones, who stars as Betty Draper on AMC’s Mad Men, has said that she will be a single mother and has not announced the identity of the father of the child.
Well, in that case, Sudeikis can breathe a sigh of relief…for now at least?
“I’m on a boat, I’m on a boat. Everybody look at me cause …I’m hosting Shark Week!”
Okay, that was incredibly lame…but how can I hide my excitement?!
Discovery Channel announced Wednesday that Andy Samberg will host the annual “Shark Week” this summer. Serving as the network’s first Chief Shark Officer, the Saturday Night Live star will take over for last year’s host Craig Ferguson, who racked up 31 million viewers for the network.
“I’m overjoyed about being appointed CSO. Everyone loves Shark Week. It’s the Bill Cosby of week-long television blocks dedicated to sea animals,” Samberg said in a statement.
Shark Week won’t be the only thing keeping Samberg busy this summer. With yet another season of SNL wrapping up, his comedy rap group, The Lonely Island, will be releasing their new album “Turtleneck and Chain” in May.
Sounds like big news!!
Hopefully, The Lonely Island makes a cameo…this time singing about …sharks?
The legendary Beastie Boys have a new album “Hot Sauce Committee Pt 2″ coming out May 3rd, a new single and now a preview for the short film Fight for Your Right Revisited has hit the interweb.
Don’t like the Beasties? Well, check out the casting call: Elijah Wood, Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, John C. Reilly, Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, David Cross, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, Jason Schwartzman, Adam Scott, Rainn Wilson, Steve Buscemi, Chloë Sevigny, Alicia Silverstone, Martin Starr, Ted Danson, Rashida Jones, R.E.M.’s Mike Mills, Ad-Rock, Mike D, and MCA.
The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival last month and received a mix of reviews. In the video, we find the Beastie Boys (Elijah Wood, Seth Rogan, Danny McBride) in 1986 the day after the legendary “Fight for Your Right (To Party)” video took place. It is rumoured to be a long-running Saturday Night Live skit from there on out.
Judging by the preview, it appears to be some battle royale between past and present versions of the Beastie Boys. At the same time, it is between comedy of today versus yesterday. Some fascinating double-entendre, I do say.
Ch-ch-check it out!
Drumroll please! And this year’s guest speaker is….Amy Poehler?!
The Harvard Crimson announced a couple days ago that Amy Poehler has been elected as Class Day Speaker by the Harvard University class of 2011 to speak at this May’s Commencement ceremony. Poehler is to follow in the footsteps of last year’s speaker, veteran reporter Christiane Amanpour.
“We wanted someone people could recognize, who could give a funny and engaging speech,” Senior Class Marshall Toby Stein told the Harvard Gazette. “During her time on SNL, Amy was a part of our growing up, and there’s no doubt she’s pretty hilarious.”
The Boston-native will headline the days’ speeches, followed by the traditional Ivy and Harvard orations, as well as remarks from Dean of the College Evelynn M. Hammonds.
No doubt, this will be the greatest commencement speech ever given – with her acting background (“Saturday Night Live”, “Parks and Recreation”), Poehler’s sure to be a show stopper! And we agree with Perez Hilton – we hope it’s put up on YouTube after so we can join in the laughs!
NBC must be ecstatic!
This weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live had the second highest rating of the season thanks to host Miley Cyrus and musical guest The Strokes.
Miley’s episode was packed with memorable moments and excellent writing. She impersonated Justin Bieber, poked fun at Lindsay Lohan, and came head-to-head with Vanessa Bayer’s dead-on impression of her.
SNL totally dominated the crucial 18-49 demographic, topping everything in prime time even without an NFL playoff game to lead into the episode.
Say what you want about Miley, but after so many seasons on kiddie sitcom Hannah Montana, the girl’s got some pretty strong comedy chops.
What did you think of the show? Was it “pretty cool!?”
Betty White was awesome last night as the host of “Saturday Night Live.” After a Facebook campaign was launched for the “Golden Girl” to host the show, she admitted that she was not too familiar with the social networking site.
“I really have to thank Facebook … I didn’t know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is, it sounds like a huge waste of time. I would never think that people on it are losers, but that’s only because I’m polite.” She continued on Facebook, saying: “At my age, if i want to connect with old friends, I need a Ouija board. Facebook just sounds like a drag. In my day, seeing pictures of people’s vacations was considered a punishment.”
All in all, White was hilarious during all of her skits, and it was humbling to see a 88 year old perform in such a demanding show.
Jay-Z was the musical guest last night who also gave a shout-out to Betty White during his second performance.
Saturday night Betty White makes her first appearance hosting NBC’s iconic Saturday Night Live.
In an interview at a rehearsal, the 88-year-old actress tells MTV News, “The nerves are running rampant tonight because I’m scared to death, if you really want to know the truth”.
Saturday’s episode of SNL should be a good one. Not only is Betty White hosting, the show has Jay-Z for its musical guest. Speaking about the rapper, Betty White continued, “I’m very excited about meeting him,” she said, “and I bragged to all my friends who think I’m over the hill, well, I did a sketch with Jay-Z.”
This week’s SNL is a Mother’s Day special, reports MTV News, and some of the show’s biggest past and present female names will be making appearances, the likes of which include: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.
Tune in Saturday night at 11:30 PM to see what should be a great show!
In just over 24 hours, Justin Bieber will be making his debut performance on Saturday Night Live as the musical guest, with host Tina Fey.
It’s a fairly safe bet that Bieber will be involved with the show beyond just playing a couple of songs. As the world’s biggest pop star, expect the SNL writers to milk his appearance for all its worth.
Although many people may not like or respect Bieber, expect him to have a pretty good performance on the show. As you can see in the clips below, he doesn’t look uncomfortable telling jokes or working with comedians.
Jimmy Fallon decided to try his hand at bartending at a TriBecCa restaurant, reports E! News. The Saturday Night Live alumni and host of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon jumped behind the bar at Marc Forione and began to pour shots for the patrons, shouting, “This round is on me.”
He used up all the Jagermeister in the bar and an employee had to go get two more bottles.
Think you’ve heard enough about the Taylor Swift-Kanye West MTV Awards stage crash? Well, apparently not everyone does.
In a promotional shoot on Tuesday for Swift’s upcoming role as both host and musical guest on “Saturday Night Live,” Swift and “SNL” cast member Bill Hader poke some fun at the now-infamous event, according to MTVnews.com.
The promo opens with Swift and Hader standing in a 30 Rock corridor. Hader is on his cell phone as Swift says, “Hey, I’m Taylor Swift, and I’ll be the host and musical guest this week on ‘SNL.’” As she finishes her line, Hader gets off the phone and tells the young country star, “Whoops, Kanye just called. He thinks Beyoncé should host instead.” As Swift looks at him in disbelief, Hader goes, “Funny joke, right?”
Seth Meyers, head writer for NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, said he was pleased with the fresh material provided by President Barack Obama, reports CBC.
“I was here for the eight years of the Bush era,” said Meyers, who joined the cast in 2001 after doing improvisational theatre in Chicago. “While it started fun, it got a little redundant for a lot of comedians. Anything new is great for us. That being said, you need to get to know someone before you can poke fun at them and we’re getting to know Obama more. The trickiest thing with Obama is he has a great sense of humour, he’s so self-aware and he may beat comedians to the punchline.”
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.
