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.
Marina and The Diamonds are working on some new music, but Marina is being very secretive about it. Although the release has been delayed, she let’s us in on some secrets about the new album, and how alcohol changed her life.
Lana Del Rey has only been famous for six months and she already landed a prestigious gig on SNL. The New York singer is the only artist to perform on “Saturday Night Live” without releasing a single studio album since Natalie Imbruglia in 1998.
Because Lana’s a pretty hyped up musical darling on the internet, the whole world was watching, waiting to criticize the retro-glam singer.
She performed her two online hits “Blue Jeans” and “Video Games” but unfortunately, not to the best of her abilities. Many people blasted her on Twitter while some shrugged it off, blaming it on her nerves.
When Lana performed on the Johnathan Ross show in the UK, she sounded beautiful. When she played a show at Toronto’s Mod Club last year, she was gorgeous and fun to watch on stage. On SNL she was nothing but awkward and stiff. When she opened her mouth she sounded like a drunk Shakira crashing somebody’s wedding.
Watch her two performances below.
Last night’s Saturday Night Live was brilliantly hosted by alumni Jimmy Fallon and the musical guest was Michael Buble. There was a handful of holiday skits, but one of the standouts was definitely a hit.
In this hilarious promotional skit for ‘Michael Buble’s Christmas Duets’, the Canadian boy festives up with a pop-locking Justin Bieber, an overly humbled Taylor Swift, an auto-tuned Kanye West. Other spoofs by Jimmy Fallon and the SNL cast included Sting, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Russell Brand, American Idol’s Scotty McCreery and a barely recognizable Lady GaGa.
Buble is currently sitting comfortably on top of the American and Canadian Billboard charts and is reportedly on its way to being the second-highest selling album of this year. With 1.52 million copies sold in the States (after seven weeks) it is already the fourth biggest selling album of the year, according to Nielson SoundScan. It is expected to face some competition when it nears Adele’s “21″ that hit 5 million copies.

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.
Following the utterly hysterical and dead-on imitations of Kardashian family, the three sisters have voiced their reactions on their twitter accounts. But their opinions are not the ones you might expect.
“Ha! I just saw the SNL skit they did and I could not stop laughing…. LOL,” Khloe tweeted on Monday.
When fans responded with comments like, ”I’m glad you’re smart enough to laugh at it. Love you Khloe,” and, “You’re not offended? I thought the skit was pretty harsh,” sister Khloe Kardashian said, “u have 2learn2 laugh at urself life is 2short…Its SNL… They r supposed 2make fun Its not who we are&I know that.” Pretty respectable responses, Khloe!
Kourtney responded to her sister’s tweet, saying, “I peed! The @KrisJenner was classic.”
Even the girls’ mom Kris Jenner found it in her heart to laugh at herself. While making an appearance in the Access Hollywood studios on Monday, Jenner deemed it “one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life,” saying, “I tell my kids don’t take yourself too seriously and always have a good sense of humor. We’re laughing right along with them.”
I guess we can see where the girls get their maturity from! I am thoroughly impressed with their responses, and will continue to watch the video on repeat, laughing along with them.
Just when we thought we can’t take anymore of the Kardashians, SNL brilliantly spoofs the holier-than-thou Hollywood family.
SNL’s been on air since 1975 and certainly back then, they didn’t have reality shows to mock. One of the program’s stand-out actors, Kristin Wiig, does an incredible Kris Jenner impression. Relative new-comer Nasim Pedrad plays the role of a dumb, ditzy Kim , who turns his divorce signing with Kris Humphries into a televised spectacle dubbed Kim’s Fairytale Divorce.
“It’s been really hard. All week we’ve just been crying and crying and posing and crying and getting our anuses bleached,” Kim says to the camera.
The entire skit is hilarious, a real knock-out compared to other scenes from last week’s show hosted by Charlie Day that fell a little flat. Watch the clip Perez Hilton posted below.
Drake is performing on SNL tonight and is promising an awesome performance and will be rapping tracks from his new album, “Take Care.”
“It’s crazy places that rap music can take you and doors that can open up off of the things that we’ve worked on all these years,” Drake told MTV News after “SNL” show rehearsals on Thursday in New York. “It’s so crazy being here today with the same band that I’ve been rolling with — all guys from Toronto. This is crazy, man, this is crazy. It’s an honor for sure.”
Drake is also promising a larger than life performance.
“One thing that I do notice is not too many people bring atmosphere change [as 'SNL' musical guests], so I really pushed to change the station into something different and I think I did a great job of that,” he said. “I just hope that visually and sonically, it’s a superior performance.”
We will wait and see.
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?
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!?”
Set your PVR for March 5 because that’s when Miley Cyrus is hosting SNL, reports PEOPLE.
This is somewhat ironic considering SNL regularly parodies the young actress. However, don’t expect Miley to show off her musical talents as she will not be the musical guest.
And the big question remains: Will Cyrus appear on The Miley Cyrus Show, a sketch where SNL castmate Vanessa Bayer parodies the young star? We will wait and see.
In case you haven’t seen this sketch before, see below (sorry for the poor video quality):
Although nobody is confirming it, rumours are circulating that Justin Bieber will appear on SNL tonight. Its a fairly reasonable theory considering the Statford, Ontario native is in New York City promoting his biopic.
Although most of his fans should be in bed by the time SNL airs, perhaps Moms and Dads will let them stay up late. There is still no word if Bieber will be singing or will he just be appearing in a segment. We will wait and see.
Reports are surfacing that Lindsay Lohan is in talks to host “Saturday Night Live” this December, fresh off her VMA appearance on Sunday.
EW spoke with NBC regarding this rumor, but the broadcaster had no comment on the matter. We should not forget Lohan does have a history with “SNL,” having hosted in 2004 and 2006.
Perhaps this is a sign Lindsay is back in the game.
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!
This past weekend, Justin Bieber rocked “Saturday Night Live” and acted alongside Tina Fey. Quite possibly the best of both worlds for the 16-year-old from little Stratford, Ontario.
According to MTV News, Bieber was thrilled to be participating in “SNL,” and was also very excited to be acting with Fey.
“It was fun, just acting [with Fey],” Bieber said. “It was cool to get to be a part of ‘SNL.’”
Typically, musical guests on “Saturday Night Live” are granted two performances over the course of the entire show. But, things were different for Bieber.
He appeared in several opening skits, as well as performing his music. One skit in particular, Bieber plays a mediocre science student, and what he lacks in academics he makes up for with his “dreamy Christmas elf” looks. This causes his teacher, Fey, to fantasize about a romantic life between them, involving panini sandwiches.
“It was hilarious and it was a lot of fun to do,” Bieber said, regarding the skit. “I just tried to act and I thought of bad, bad thoughts [to distract myself].”
Most importantly, for those in love with the teen sensation, beware. Bieber had an easy time flirting with Fey in the skit.
“She’s cool,” Bieber said. “And she’s cute too!”
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.
Michael Phelps is about to dive into new water.
The 23-year-old swimmer, who won a record eight gold medals at this summer’s Olympics in Beijing, is set to appear on screen twice in the upcoming weeks.
Phelps will first appear on the televised MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 7, joining Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, and the cast of High School Musical as a presenter.
Then, a week later, he will be hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live. SNL’s 34th season premiere, airing on Sept. 13, will also feature Lil Wayne as the musical guest.
And, as if that weren’t enough for “Phelps Phans”, the swimmer will also be releasing a book about his time at the Olympics, his training, and how he was raised in a single-parent family. The book, “Built To Succeed”, is slated for a December release.
John McCain will be “live from New York” once again this Saturday.
The Republican presidential candidate is set to make a cameo appearance on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” according to aides traveling with McCain in the Pacific Northwest.
No details were revealed about McCain’s sketch in this week’s episode, which will be hosted by comedian Steve Carell with musical guest Usher.
McCain previously hosted “SNL” in 2002, making him the first sitting senator ever to host the show.
The show also did a skit in March lampooning the 71-year-old politician, played by series regular Darrell Hammond, for being “crazy old.”
Democratic presidential contenders Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton have both appeared on “SNL” in recent months.
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.
Saturday Night Live will be without six actors when the new season debuts this fall, according to reports.
Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch left to focus on their new show “30 Rock,” a sitcom based on SNL.
Four other cast members have reportedly been fired, but their identities are not yet known.
“The history of ‘SNL’ has been that people step up. It’s just been that way, at least so far. I think there are people there now who are going to be brilliant,” producer Lorne Michaels told the New York Post.
Along with “30 Rock,” Aaron Sorkin’s new show “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” will also use SNL as its foundation.
With Fey gone, “Weekend Update” will now be taken care of by new member Jason Sudeikis.
SNL producers also hope to have veteran Darrell Hammond back on the show. Hammond is known for his impressions of Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.
