day 4.81

what i love (this week)


the song

guys, i'm on a fun. kick. can't stop, won't stop. don't wanna stop. seriously, buy the whole some nights album.

the show

lindsay killed it on snl. ok, she kind of killed it. ok, this was the episode's one shining moment and they didn't even give her the good lines. but still, the new old lindsay lohan is back!

the movie

this was basically a lifetime movie that made it to theaters, and i'm ok with that.

the look 

at least the snl photo shoot went well, right? 

day 4.77

she returns!

the promos for lindsay lohan's fourth outing as host of saturday night live hit the interwebs today and did two things to me -- made me incredibly excited (i mean, all her hosted-shows have been top notch ... i mean, she was in the first "debbie downer" sketch) and google "cheek implants." seriously, what is going on with her face? and why has no one sat her down and explained bangs and blonde do not a redhead make? i guess it's one step at a time - sobriety, then redhead. what didn't make me so excited was this promo (below) for lilo's interview with matt lauer set to air tomorrow on today. did she really just say whitney houston's death didn't resonate ... at all? someone dropping dead at 48 after a public battle with drugs and alcohol didn't resonate at all? really? lohan appears very uncomfortable in interviews -- a far cry from her pre-public meltdown days. maybe the full length talk will be better? let's hope. let's also hope her cheeks settle by saturday.

day 4.67

what i love (this week)


the song

nicki releases a song the same caliber of "super bass." finally.

the show

this. show. this. show. it's like crack to me.


the movie

things the movie the vow will teach you: channing tatum is not an actor. rachel mcadams is an actress. rachel mcadams is also hollywood's favorite choice to play the daughter of the one percent.

the look

this is happening, so... 

day 4.57

this.

zooey deschanel and karmin are coming to snl this week. yes. also, how weird is it that i blogged about zooey two days in a row?

i salute whoever made this

santana lopez, one of the greatest tv characters of all time.

day 4.01

what i love (this week)


the song

this song has been stuck in my head since robyn's snl appearance last weekend.

the show

it was like the early 2000s again last night on snl! the weekend update joke off? phenomenal.

the movie

i watched this on netflix instant. so bad it was good. sarah jessica parker has seriously only ever played one character.

the look

every month, the olsen twins release a new viral video to promote their t-shirt club, stylemint. it's like seeing what they would do if they had never stopped making olsen twin movies.

day 3.359

what i love (this week)

the song

if you haven't given rihanna's talk that talk a spin, you're missing out. get on spotify and start with "do ya thang." now. do it.

the show

i've recently become obsessed with parks and recreation. i'd never given the show a chance, writing it off as an office rip-off, but it's so, so, so much better than the office. amy poehler is a god.

the movie

yes, i gave two hours of my life to new year's eve. it's just as disjointed as its predecessor, valentine's day, but a little more entertaining. i won't give a full-blown review, but i will tell you to give it a chance. especially if you can purchase alcohol at your theater (or bring your own). the best part is the 10 minute bloopers reel that plays with the credits, half of which is zac efron and the over-frumped michelle pfeiffer dancing. had the whole two hours been zac and michelle dancing i would have been happy.

the look

the "look section" has kind of become a "my favorite snl sketches section." sorry i'm not sorry. katy perry as florence and the machine and kristen wiig as flirt expert rebecca larue = insane.

day 3.358

tonight

this is happening. i don't know why katy perry isn't also the musical guest, but i'm guessing she'll sing in approximately half her sketches.

day 3.322

kim's fairytale divorce

i just wish this were real. also, kristen wiig is saturday night live.

day 3.286

melissa mccarthy does snl

heres' the best of the sketch comedy staple's latest- there's a hidden valley ranch party in my mouth!

day 3.162

what i love (this week)

the song

the show

i don't have a movie or look this week. sorry i'm not sorry.

day 3.149

what i love (this week)

the song

i cannot get enough of nicki minaj's "super bass." no, really- i even learned the first verse. i'm going to call it the song of the summer, because i'll be listening to it all summer long

the show

saturday night live returned last night with a mothers day-themed episode hosted by (second time) mommy-to-be tina fey. fey brought the funny (though not all the skits were great). above is my favorite of the night, a parody of bravo's latest docuseries, pregnant in heels. check out the rest of last night's clips here.

the movie

this movie hasn't even come out yet, but i cannot wait to see it. midnight screening, here i come- i hope bridesmaids lives up to the trailer's hype.

the look

damn. gwyneth paltrow at this year's met gala.

day 3.86

miley does snl...and it's pretty cool

last night, miley cyrus took the 30 rock stage last night and surprised everyone - it was one of the, if not the, best episode of the season. not only did miley embrace every self-depricating skit, she was also fine with bashing her celebrity peers. check out the best moments below.

day 3.81

lindsay lohan: back and better than ever?

it's been a long time coming, but i think it may finally have arrived. lindsay lohan sat down with extra's jerry penacoli for her first (and only) post-rehab interview. from this short clip (above) it actually looks like lindsay finally gets what's going on - she's not just saying she's ready to return to work, she actually appears ready. plus, with all the charlie sheen craziness going on, anyone looks sober and sane. lindsay also appeared on jimmy kimmel's post oscars special - she's great at making fun of herself and needs to make a return to the saturday night live stage.

day 3.59

the church lady returns

former snl funny man dana carvey made a triumphant return to the small screen last night, hosting the show that launched his career. while i'm not quite sure why carvey was invited to host (he doesn't have a project coming out from what i can tell), i am glad he was able to take the stage and show the currently less-than-stellar cast how to make an audience actually laugh. carvey was joined on stage by former cast members mike myers and jon lovitz (and justin bieber?), and delivered some of this season's highlights. but the real star of last night's show was definitely abby elliot, who is quickly becoming strong competition for kristen wiig. check out the clips below.

day 3.52

jesse, mark and nicki do snl

last night, jesse eisenberg took on saturday night live alongside musical guest nicki minaj and - big surprise - mark zuckerberg, facebook's creator and the character jesse played in the social network. check out some highlights below, especially the digital short featuring none other than nicki.

day 3.38

gwyneth does snl

it wasn't the best episode, but it also wasn't the worst. check out some highlights from gwyneth's guest gig below. unfortunately, the highlight of the show - a bar mitzvah sketch - isn't posted online.

and don't forget to check out the golden globes tonight on nbc. i will be live tweeting @bricesander, with a full recap here tomorrow.

day 3.35

taylor swift, where are your pants?

the latest music video from t. swift has hit the interwebs. "back to december," the second single off swift's latest speak now, is slowly creeping its way up the charts. "december" is reportedly about swift's short-lived romance with twilight star taylor lautner. if you look at the album booklet, swift puts secret messages in her lyrics by capitalizing certain letters; the secret message for "back to december" reads "tay." the video is basically angst ridden with more angst, as swift mopes, pants-less, around her apartment while her love interest wanders the snowy streets. oh, it also snows inside taylor's apartment while she sits naked in a bathtub. normal. hopefully they release a faster song (like "better than revenge" or "the story of us") so that taylor can actually do something in the next video.

andrew garfield is spiderman

sony released the first official picture of the social network's andrew garfield as spiderman. it doesn't look like he'll disappoint.

also, i can't wait for this.

it better not disappoint. even though it probably will...

miley and the kardashians get snl'd

day 3.6

rudd takes snl out of rut

last night, paul rudd hosted saturday night live for the second time. the veteran funny man brought some life to a season of snl that's had its moments, but is far from consistent. naturally there were some duds (they keep brining back this bizarre talk show concept that just doesn't work, and are already over-using jay pharoah). the new cast members (most notably vanessa bayer) are definitely helping out, but snl still relies heavily on kristen wiig to carry a lot of the bits. here are some highlights.

day 2.333

funny ladies

last night, nbc aired the "women of snl" special. the show highlighted the great skits featuring female players over the show's nearly 40 year history. but it wasn't the retrospective that made the special great, but the 10-minute opening. the women of snl - from cheri o'teri to maya rudolph and kristen wiig - parodied bravo's real housewives franchise reunions, each taking on a different housewife. check out the skit (hosted by real real housewives host andy cohen) above. as far as i can tell, cheri is teresa from new jersey, rachel dratch is caroline, tina fey is kim zolciak from atlanta, ana gasteyer is ramon from new york, molly shannon is bethenny and kristen wiig and maya rudolph share some sort of split role of danielle.

sharpay sneak peak

it's finally here. over the summer, ashley tisdale filmed sharpay's fabulous adventure, a spin-off of the high school musical franchise. check out the video above, which gives you a sneak peak into the movie. it looks like the flick will pick up where hsm3 left off, with sharpay going straight from high school graduation to the great white way. obviously this won't be an oscar winner, but it does look like adventure carries the same spirit of its predecessors. the film should premiere on disney channel sometime early next year, with a dvd release to follow. this may be your last chance to get a new high school musical fix, as it looks like moving forward with the franchise's fourth installment have stalled.
