'Saturday Night Live' best host poll: And the winner is...
14 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
To be a truly great host on Saturday Night Live requires a multitude of skills that elude even some of our favorite stars. He or she needs to be fearless. A willingness to be, as Josh Brolin said this year in his SNL monologue, “career-endingly stupid.” On top of that, things have to go just right — even the most game guest is at the mercy of the show’s writers and ensemble and they’d be the first to admit that all their shows are not created equal. But as Seth Meyers has often said, the show often takes on the personality of the host. »

Watch: From Radner To Wiig, 'SNL' Does Dancing Right
21 May 2012 10:55 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
For all the wordiness of most "SNL" sketches, some of the most powerful moments in the show's history have involved no talking at all.
When the cast bid farewell to Kristen Wiig on Saturday, they did so under the masquerade of a final sketch. Dressed as graduates in caps and gowns, Mick Jagger dressed as himself, Wiig was introduced as "Tristan," a student set to leave this summer to "become a nun."
As Arcade Fire covered the Rolling Stones' "She's a Rainbow" in the corner, castmembers entered one by one to twirl Wiig around or, in Seth Meyers' case, to do some sort of spastic boogie. The song slowly morphed into an all out sing-a-long of "Ruby Tuesday," with Steve Martin, Lorne Michaels, and other former cast-members stopping by to offer goodbyes.
Wiig lost it just about halfway through and -- whether or not you liked Wiig's characters -- »

Morning Meme: Robin Gibb Passes Away, Mark Zuckerberg Changes His Status, and Cheyenne Jackson Takes "Drive" To Life Ball
21 May 2012 4:15 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees has lost his battle with cancer and passed away at the age of 62. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
John Fiala, a former priest who abused a 16-year-old boy while pretending to drive him to his girlfriend's home, then hiring a hit man to kill the boy ,has been sentenced to 60 years in prison. He'll be eligible for parole in 15 years.
Back when DC Comics was preparing to relaunch their 52 main titles, they told The Advocate that they wouldn't be making any existing characters gay, but would be creating new Glbt characters. At Kapow this weekend, they announced a change, saying that one of the relaunched titles would feature an existing character as gay who was previously straight, who will now be “one of our most prominent gay characters.” Any guesses?

Watch: Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig Heat Up 'SNL' Cold Open
20 May 2012 9:37 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
What's a "Saturday Night Live" finale without at least one surprise guest?
Quickly becoming an unofficial "SNL" cast member a la Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin and Justin Timberlake, the great Jon Hamm stopped by Studio 8H once again to appear in the "Lawrence Welk Show" cold open with his "Bridesmaids" co-star Kristen Wiig.
Appearing as Italian crooner Johnny Prosciutto, Hamm wooed the ladies of "The Lawrence Welk Show," including Wiig's typically demented and hilarious character. Normally, the tiny-handed Dooneese has to work twice as hard as her pretty sisters to get some attention on the show, but this time there's something about her that Prosciutto obviously can't resist.
As this is Wiig's last episode as a cast member, we can't think of any better way to wrap up such an impressive "SNL" career than a make-out session with Jon Hamm -- no matter how weird it had to be.

'Saturday Night Live' recap: Jagger rocks out, and Kristen Wiig bids farewell
20 May 2012 9:19 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
All year, SNL viewers have had one burning question on their minds. And tonight, we finally got an answer: So that is what Chris Kattan looks like now.
Oh, also: Kristen Wiig really is exiting the show. I hate to see her go, but loved watching her leave — that concluding sendoff sketch might have been the sweetest thing on Saturday Night Live since Steve Martin said goodbye to Gilda Radner.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. The Kristen Wiig Farewell Tour kicked off with a Lawrence Welk Show reprise that gave Wiig’s tiny-handed Dooneese one last time to shine (at least, »

Mike Ryan: 'SNL' Scorecard: Mick Jagger's Fine Farewell To Kristen Wiig
20 May 2012 8:34 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
There was no doubt about it: This was Kristen Wiig's night. Of the three cast members rumored to be leaving "Saturday Night Live," I think we can go ahead and remove the word "rumored" off of Wiig and Samberg, who said his goodbye with "Lazy Sunday 2." Jason Sudeikis, on the other hand ... well, he introduced the Foo Fighters? In other words: There were really no hints throughout a show that he had very little to do with concerning his future (unless you want to read into Jagger mentioning that "many of you are moving on" in the final sketch). So if it was his last show, that's a shame. On to what turned out to be a quite emotional final Scorecard of the season...
Sketch of the Night
"She's a Rainbow" (Mick Jagger, Kristen Wiig, Ensemble) A perfect ten. Honestly, that was the most touching, emotional sendoff that I've ever seen "SNL" pull off. »

'Saturday Night Live': Mick Jagger as Steven Tyler, plus Steve Martin and Jon Hamm drop by
20 May 2012 8:12 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
If Jon Hamm doesn't watch out, he's just going to become a regular cast member for "Saturday Night Live." It seems like he drops by about every other week, not that we're complaining because we love him and he's very funny.
But he showed up again on Saturday's episode - in the cold open as the man who finally falls for Kristen Wiig's awkward singing sister. Yikes.
Other highlights of the show included an awesome karaoke sketch where everyone is slaughtering Rolling Stones songs as Mick Jagger (as a businessman) just sits there looking on wistfully.
In The Californians, Steve Martin dropped by, which is another welcome site. And in one of the best sketches that is not online (presumably for music copyright reasons), Bill Hader as Dave Matthews hosts "So You Think You Can Dance" and Jagger plays Steven Tyler as a judge, which is ridiculously brilliant (pictured »

Achieving balance is one of the great high-wire acts of family films. Some filmmakers attempt to make universal pieces of entertainment, to appeal to adults as well as to children. Many don’t, but the best of the films from Walt Disney Pictures succeed at that balance, or at least try very hard and come close to succeeding. The most obvious example of a group of people trying to make something as accessible for kids as it is for adults, something that everyone can enjoy on some level, are the two (as of now) Fantasia films. Both movies work within the medium of animation to transcend commonly considered tropes of storytelling. But the people behind both films went about »

Top 5 Vibrator Scenes in Movies
17 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
In the historical rom-com "Hysteria," a progressive new doctor (Hugh Dancy) joins a respected women's physician (Jonathan Pryce) who specializes in curing the female condition of hysteria through manual stimulation. Naturally, the revolutionary treatment is so popular with upper-crust Victorian ladies that the poor young doc develops repetitive stress, leaving him unable to perform his professional duties until his inventor pal (Rupert Everett) develops an electric stimulator that does the job much more efficiently.
But "Hysteria" is far from the first film to highlight a lady's electric best friend. While the topic isn't exactly common, there are plenty of mainstream comedies that include some memorably good vibrations. Sorry, fellas, but we kept the users strictly female.

Olive (Emma Stone) doesn't actually use her vibrator, but it's still a hilarious plot point in the adorably clever teen movie. As a gift for pretending to have sex with him, »

Consider the Downing of the House Brought'n
16 May 2012 3:21 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Director Andrew Shankman has built a career out of making extremely mediocre movies, and one of the worst in that lot was the painfully unfunny Bringing Down the House that saw Steve Martin paired with Queen Latifah. Riddled with clichés and a story that makes no sense despite all the band-aids applied to string the story together, Bringing Down the House came about long after Steve Martin’s filmography landed on the skids, making it the perfect example of the kind of garbage he’s been signing on for since the mid-90s.
After divorcing his wife (Jean Smart) and spending many nights alone when not the custodian of his two kids (Kimberly J. Brown, Angus T. Jones), successful but aging attorney Peter Sanderson (Martin) finds solace in a legal chat room where he connects with Charlene, a woman he believes to be a young, attractive lawyer.

Lindsay Lohan Recruits Top TV Decorator For Home Revamp
16 May 2012 3:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Lindsay Lohan is cashing in on her comeback film and TV roles by redecorating her home - and she's televising the makeover.
The actress was spotted furniture shopping at Beverly Hills' exclusive Kreiss showroom on Tuesday with in-demand interior decorator Kathryn Ireland and a camera crew - and now reports suggest her spending spree will feature on reality TV show Million Dollar Decorator later this year.
An insider tells HollyScoop.com, "The show will air in America this coming fall."
Ireland is not new to celebrity demands - her clients have included Steve Martin, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and director/playwright David Mamet.
The website reports Lohan's shopping spree at Kreiss was a big hit and the actress went home with two St. Regis sofas, two St. Regis armchairs, a pair of Venetian table lamps and two cast bronze candlestick lamps and an array of outdoor furniture.
Lohan is currently prepping her new Beverly Hills home after moving out of her former pad in Venice, California, where she spent a period under house arrest last year. »
Ellen DeGeneres to Receive Mark Twain Prize

Ellen DeGeneres is set to step into rarified air this fall as she's been announced as the 2012 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
Video: Brad Pitt & Ellen DeGeneres Tour Lower 9th Ward
"The Kennedy Center is happy to recognize Ellen DeGeneres' unique contributions to the world of comedy," stated Kennedy Center Chairman David M. Rubenstein. "Through her television programs, stand-up appearances, movies, and even commercials, her special brand of humor has allowed us to find hilarity in the mundane and has kept us laughing for years."
Now in its fifteenth year, the Mark Twain Prize is perhaps comedy's most prestigious award. Past recipients include Bill Cosby, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, Steve Martin, George Carlin and Richard Pryor.

Amy Adams Is Going To 'Dark Places'
15 May 2012 12:43 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It was seven years ago that Amy Adams broke out in "Junebug" and she hasn't looked back since. Showing that she can move from drama to comedy to romance with ease, the actress has proven to be one of the most talented and versatile of her generation. Need evidence? Watch "The Fighter" and then "The Muppets." Or maybe here three Oscar nominations will be enough to convince you. At any rate, 2012 is shaping up to be banner year for Adams. "On The Road" premieres in Cannes next week, she's been busy lensing "Trouble With The Curve" alongside a guy named Clint Eastwood, later this year she'll be working with Spike Jonze on his untitled romance and then there's a movie called "The Master" you might have heard of opening this fall. And now, she's putting another project on the table.
Deadline reports that Adams will star in the thriller "Dark Places. »

Bringing Down the House Blu-ray Review
15 May 2012 12:39 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »
The Movie Pool blames Steve Martin and Queen Latifah for Bringing Down the House on Blu-ray!
The Set-up
A convict (Latifah) horns her way into an attorney's (Martin) life, causing a clash of cultures, but the two slowly begin to learn from each other.
Directed by: Adam Shankman
The Delivery
One might think that a film featuring the comedic talents of Steve Martin, Eugene Levy, and Queen Latifah would be a sure-fire hit, but Hollywood has taught us that they are experts at ruining a sure thing.
Bringing Down the House is an embarrassing film that could have set back race relations in America 30 years. The fact that Disney decided to release this on Blu-ray, yet holds back on Song of the South, frankly shocks me. This film makes Song of the South look like the March on Selma; it is that offensive.
