Miley Cyrus is hosting “Saturday Night Live” this week with musical guests The Strokes and her previews hint at one of my favorite sketches ever, “The Miley Cyrus Show!” Hey, at least the girl doesn’t take herself too seriously, right? But really I hope there’s a skit addressing that video where’s she’s smoking saliva divinorum out of a bong and giggling like a fool. That was entertaining as all hell. (Also: drugs are bad, don’t do drugs!) [Celebuzz] Keep reading »

Does No One Care Chris Brown Is Performing On “Saturday Night Live”?
Chris Brown is hosting “Saturday Night Live” tomorrow night and no one cares.
I would have thought that, even after two years have passed since he beat the crap out of his then-girlfriend Rihanna, people would question “SNL”‘s decision. I would think there’d be more of a public uproar. I would have thought people would make a stink. But all I’ve found online was one piece on Clutch Magazine, an online mag for young black women, and a tiny blog post on The New York Observer‘s web site. Nothing from Feministing. Nothing from Jezebel (though they ragged on him for performing at a boxing match last spring). The Young, Black And Fabulous blog even said they were happy Chris Brown was performing on “SNL.”
Even a few friends I asked didn’t care. “Dude has a right to go on with his career,” one friend said. “A lot of performers have done f**ed up stuff in their personal lives. If they’re good, they’re good,” another said.
Really, I’m surprised. Keep reading »
Russell Brand Forgot The Funny In These “SNL” Promos
Yeesh. Usually Russell Brand is a little funny, but these promos for “Saturday Night Live,” which he is hosting this weekend, are just terrible. Maybe Russell was just nervous because the musical guest is Chris Brown (boooooo) who beat the crap out of his wife Katy Perry‘s best friend Rihanna? That’s the only explanation I can surmise.

“Black Swan” Gets the “SNL” Treatment
It was inevitable that all the chatter about “Black Swan” would result in a “SNL” parody, and we’d trust Jim Carrey to do it. His fat, bloated black swan Lily is no match for prim white swan Nina. Oh, what sex appeal! [NBC] Keep reading »
What Really Happened That “Weekend At Bernie’s”
Is Cookie Monster The Next Betty White?
Cookie Monster wants to branch out and show that there is more to him than his enthusiasm for cookies. Homeboy wants to host “Saturday Night Live” and he wants us to help make his dream come true. Check out his audition tape. Um, he’s got my vote. I’m totally joining his Facebook group and I suggest you do as well. Let’s make this thing happen, Betty White-style.

The TSA: “It’s Our Business To Touch Yours”
One reason I’m grateful I don’t have to travel anywhere this holiday season is because I won’t have to deal with that new TSA pat-down policy in which some guy or gal in a uniform gets to fondle my junk in search of bombs and other fun terrorist-y stuff. “Saturday Night Live” did a pretty hilarious spoof about the new policy, as if it were one of those late-night escort service ads. Check it out above! And while you’re at it, {encode=”tips@thefrisky.com” title=”email us”} about any of your particularly interesting run-ins with a handsy TSA officer after this holiday weekend.

Scarlett Johansson’s New “SNL” Promos
I’ve been pumped for this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” since it was announced that Scarlett Johansson is hosting and Arcade Fire will be the musical guest. And the new promo, with Scarlett and Jason Sudeikis, gives me even higher expectations. This might be the best pairing ever. Keep reading »

Shy Ronnie 2: Ronnie & Clyde
This weekend’s “Saturday Night Live,” hosted by Jon Hamm, was basically a slam dunk. But my favorite part was the digital short where musical guest Rihanna played opposite Andy Samberg’s “Shy Ronnie” character. Ronnie really needs to exercise that voicebox. Uh-oh, boner alert! Keep reading »
