Nearly 30 years later, Cypress Hill is still proud to have been shut out of “Saturday Night Live.”
The California hip-hop group was infamously said to have been banned from the late night show after its 1993 performance when DJ Muggs smoked a marijuana joint on stage. An “SNL” insider told TheWrap they don’t believe there is actually a ban on any act, including Cypress Hill.
During a TCA panel for the upcoming documentary “Cypress Hill: Insane in the Brain” on Tuesday, rapper Sen Dog called the idea of being unable to get back on the “SNL” stage “punk rock.”
“I kind of like the fact that we’re banned,” Sen Dog said. “The whole thing about being banned, it’s punk rock in itself. I would like to leave it like that. If the guys wanted to do it, then that’d be something we could talk about or whatever,...

Either Tekashi 6ix9ine knows exactly what he’s doing, or this was all a happy accident. We’re banking on the fact that the young emcee/professional instigator/convicted felon is laughing all the way to the bank.
“F— being a superhero, I wanna be a villain,” 6ix9ine says in a teaser trailer for Showtime docuseries “Supervillain: The Making of Tekashi 6ix9ine.”
Pretty much the rest of the teaser trailer, which dropped on Friday, is made of up extremely unflattering media quotes about the rapper (real name Daniel Hernandez).
Watch the teaser trailer via the video above.
“Supervillain” is centered on an interview with Hernandez following his early release from prison this spring. He was locked up after pleading guilty to armed robbery charges and conspiracy to commit murder.
6ix9ine’s sentence was drastically reduced after he testified for the prosecution, and he got out even earlier...

Showtime has released the first trailer for “Supervillain,” a revealing docuseries about the rise of provocative young rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Directed by Karam Gill, the three-episode docuseries will examine how 6ix9ine manufactured his own cult celebrity status through his mastery of social media and purposely stirring up controversy.

The docuseries will follow how Daniel Hernandez, originally working as a deli clerk in New York City, transformed into 6ix9ine, the tattooed, rainbow-haired viral rapper. He boasts more than 2.6 billion streams, 15 hits on the top music charts and collaborations with artists like Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Young Thug, Lil Baby and more. Not only is he a rapper, however, 6ix9ine is an internet sensation who has mastered turning his outlandish digital presence into an effective marketing tactic for his rap persona.

Ben and Courtney? Jp and Ashley? Nope, but it would be quite impressive if they had managed to keep one of those weddings a secret.
"Bachelor" host Chris Harrison has officiated a wedding between two producers of the "Bachelor" franchise shows. Cassie Lambert, 33, and Pete Scalettar, 34, were wed Saturday (Aug. 4) in Malibu, Calif. They asked Harrison if he would get ordained and marry them when the show was on location in Prague during this past season of "The Bachelorette."
"I love them to death and I've seen them grow as a couple. I love them as a couple and as individuals," Harrison tells People. "I'm honored they would ask and I'm honored they would allow me to be such a huge part of their day."
