One more sneak peek is released before audience can get fully blown by Taylor Swift's performance on "Saturday Night Live". After a clip where she opens the show with Bill Hader was released earlier this week, another one which is concentrating on her skit with Kristen Wiig is given.
In this promo, Wiig gets a little intimidated by all Swift's accomplishments and does a little showing-off of her own. It sees Wiig recurring her Penelope character and Single White Female attitude. After jumping with joy, Wiig said to Swift "Wow, you're really tall."
On the variety show which will air tonight November 7 on NBC, Taylor Swift will pull a double duty as the host and the performer. The singer who said that she was involved in the creative process of the skits, does one parody of Kanye West as a mean to laugh about the September incident when the »

Welcome back Fandango Fanatics to another installment of You Pick the Hottest Story of the Week – the game that pulls aside five scorching hot news stories and asks you to vote on which one you think deserves to be singled out and showered with hottest-story-of-the-week praise. Here are this week's contenders: Oscar Hosts Announced – After a lengthy search in which folks like Hugh Jackman, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. turned down the gig, actors Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin accepted the role of Oscar co-hosts for Hollywood's biggest night, which airs on March 7, 2010. The duo, who combined hosted a total of 29 SNL episodes, should give us a fabulous (and hilarious) night full of singing, dancing and statues. [Read More] 'Prince of Persia' Trailer – The...

The first week of November is almost behind us, and while the march toward the holidays is already on, that doesn't mean the music world took any time off.

Hey, we've got an opening monologue for Taylor Swift. "Hi, I'm Taylor Swift, as you know," the teen titan could start off with on tomorrow's Saturday Night Live. "And I'd like to thank Kanye West for helping you know that." Ok, so the lines aren't funny. But they are true. The SNL gig—as host and musical guest? The honor of being the first female country performer to pull that desirable double duty since Dolly Parton more than 20 years ago? The album that's been out forever and is back climbing the charts? Yup, somebody owes Mr. West a muffin basket. Think we're going off half-cocked (like a certain rapper, perhaps?) by suggesting that... »

Before you watch Taylor Swift hosting and performing on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, spend some time on CBS checking out "Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers," an Mma event live from the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The main event features legendary heavyweight Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko in a match against undefeated up-and-comer Brett Rogers. The card also features another excellent heavyweight match-up between Brazilians Fabricio Werdum and Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva and an intriguing head-to-head with Gegard Mousasi and Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou. It should be a fun night of fighting (if you're into that sort of thing).
But even if you're not into the sweet science of kickboxing and grappling, one particular fight is not to be missed. The wildly entertaining Jason "Mayhem" Miller — host of MTV's "Bully Beatdown" — will compete for the Strikeforce middleweight championship against friend and rival (and multi-time "Bully Beatdown" guest fighter) Jake Shields. »

Taylor Swift's first promo for tomorrow's Saturday Night Live alluded to Kanye West, but a couple more have popped up today, featuring the comparatively bite-size Kristen Wiig. All these promos sure do keep me wishing on a wishing star that Taylor Swift will be a good host tomorrow! That second one offered shades of both Wiig's recurring "Penelope" character and Single White Female, the combination of which would probably make for a pretty decent sketch. What do you want to see Taylor do tomorrow night? Leave your craziest sketch ideas in the comments (Don't Be Gross), and we'll post »

Tomorrow night, Taylor Swift will once again grace the stage at Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center when she serves as both the host and musical guest on this week's edition of "Saturday Night Live." It's familiar territory for Swift, who was last on the show back in January, making this her second appearance overall (and the second in this calendar year). Considering the cast hasn't shifted that dramatically between last season and this one, she should be comfortable and familiar with her surroundings. As her promos for this week's show — as well as the promos she cut with host Neil Patrick Harris back in January — she's perfectly comfortable with banter.
Swift wouldn't reveal very much about this weekend's show (except that nothing would be off limits), there are a few things that are almost certain to happen on Saturday night.

George Clooney in The Men Who Stare at Goats
Photo: Overture Films If you've seen the trailer you've seen the movie. In fact, choose any scene from the trailer, extend it, duplicate it and give it no real reason to exist and you have The Men Who Stare at Goats, a film that's got plenty of laughs but nothing holding it together.
Directed by Grant Heslov, the Oscar-nominated co-writer and producer of Good Night, and Good Luck., The Men Who Stare at Goats is an adaptation of Jon Ronson's book of the same name. I have since been told it's only loosely based, which the film would also like us to believe as it opens saying, "More of this is true than you would believe." Just what part is true? Who knows? How much do I believe? Perhaps the proper question there would be How much do I want to believe? »

Thank god that Lorne Michaels had the good sense to invite Alec Baldwin on SNL, else he might still be stuck somewhere doing third rate dramas. Instead, we discovered his comedic genius through the likes of Canteen Boy and we.re all the better for it. Now he plays one of the funniest characters on television, he.s sure to be one of the funniest Oscar hosts in recent memory, and he.s getting partial nude in a comedy with Meryl Streep. It.s called It.s Complicated and we have the movie.s second trailer. But for Baldwin, this would surely be a snooze. Instead every moment he.s on screen is golden. As a bonus, he.s competing with Steve Martin for Streep.s affection, consider it a preview of this year.s Oscars when they.ll share hosting duties together on the Academy Awards stage. Check out »

Let's see: Bravo is owned by NBC and Bon Jovi is appearing on several NBC shows exclusively for a while, including Saturday Night Live, The Jay Leno Show, and Today (and doing a promo for all of the USA Network shows that feature a "hero"), so it's a natural that the band would appear with James Lipton on Inside The Actor's Studio, right? Right?
*crickets*

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't get culture and literature from TV Squad. This is the second post about poetry today. (Tomorrow: e.e. cummings.)
I saw Suzanne Somers on Rachael Ray this morning, and then I go to Best Week Ever and see video of SNL's Kristen Wiig reading excerpts from Somers' book of poetry! Unlike the post link above, these words really are from Somers.

Lady Gaga’s single Paparazzi has been tearing up the airwaves since its debut this past summer. The song, from the pop sensation’s debut album The Fame, has a melodic beat that fans all over the world are humming to. Yet, not everybody is so enthralled by the song’s lyrics.
“Frankly, I’m pretty pissed off,” says freelance photographer Chaz Memberton. “You know, being a paparazzi isn’t easy. It’s [expletive] hard work and I reject anybody saying it’s easy or that anybody can do it. Have you heard her lyrics? She suggests that some of her weird-ass fans that are taking her pictures are like paparazzi. That’s nonsense.”
The song has been a critical success for Lady Gaga as it peaked at No.6 on Billboard’s Top 40 in the U.S.. It has been hailed as one of the best songs on her album and »

Taylor Swift hasn't yet taken the "Saturday Night Live" stage, but that doesn't mean that the Kanye West jokes haven't already started coming. In new promos for Swift's upcoming "Saturday Night Live" appearance, Swift pokes fun at the Vma incident that rocked the world. Can't say we didn't see that coming.In the promo, Swift stands with Bill Hader and says, "Hey, I'm Taylor Swift and I'll be the host and musical guest this week on 'SNL.'" Then Hader, holding a cell phone, says, "Kanye West just called, he thinks Beyonce should host." Swift stares him down, letting him know how lame the joke is - but that's the point of the joke. We guess ... »

Taylor Swift really knows how to make fun on Kanye West's 2009 MTV Video Music Awards rant. Promoting the November 7 episode of "Saturday Night Live", in which she is going to serve as a host as well as performer, the songstress has spoofed the R&B singer in a new promo video for the show.
At the beginning of the clip, Taylor and the show's cast member Bill Hader are seen standing in what looks like "30 Rock" corridor. While the young singer says, "Hey, I'm Taylor Swift, and I'll be the host and musical guest this week on 'SNL'," the actor is talking on his cell phone. As she completes her line, Bill gets off the phone and tells Taylor, "Whoops, Kanye West just called. He thinks Beyonce [Knowles] should host instead. Funny joke, right?"
Taylor looks annoyed as she rolls her eyes and whispers to herself, "Wow." Realizing »

Not only Michael Jackson's documentary "This Is It" but also the film's soundtrack has been a hit. "This Is It" album debuted atop Billboard Hot 200 with 373,000 copies sold, becoming the fifth-best sales week for an album in the U.S. this year.
This is not the first time Michael returns to Billboard chart with his effort. Earlier this year soon after his sudden death in June, Jackson also ruled Top Comprehensive Albums and Top Pop Catalog Albums with his 2003 greatest hits "Number Ones".
Next on the Hot 200 chart, Creed become this week's runner-up with their new studio release "Full Circle" which sold around 110,000 copies. Furthermore, Taylor Swift's "Fearless" jumps from No. 7 to No. 3 with 109,000 units sold. Since being released in November 2008, the album has remained on the Top 10 of the chart for 157 weeks, becoming the longest-charting album of the decade.
"That's a crazy statistic," Taylor told MTV News at "Saturday Night Live" rehearsal. »

Yes, Taylor Swift will make fun of the MTV Video Music Awards infamous incident in September when Kanye West rudely interrupted her acceptance speech. A short video has been released via MTV to promote Swift's hosting duty on "Saturday Night Live" this Saturday, November 7.
Greeting the audience as the host, Swift is accompanied by the variety show's regular Bill Hader who is apparently on the phone. After Swift finishes her line, Hader says, "Whoops, Kanye West just called. He thinks Beyonce should host instead. Funny joke, right?" Swift makes no comment, only whispering to herself "Wow".
During MTV VMAs, the rapper cut short Swift's Best Female Video speech by taking over the mic and declaring "Beyonce has the best video of all time!" Beyonce Knowles, who later on won the top prize of Best Video, gave the stage to Swift to finish her speech.
The timing was right when Swift »
