CAN DONALD TRUMP TAKE A JOKE ON SNL?

Nikki Haley made a surprise appearance in the opening skit of Saturday Night Live on February 3 and to be politically fair, NBC also invited her main rivals, President Joe Biden and Donald Trump to appear in future episodes. According to our source, President Biden is 99% committed to appear, but Trump not so much. The problem is: the show doesn’t guarantee anything, meaning – you gotta be able to take a joke. Case in point: SNL ribbed good sport Nikki about her misstep when she didn’t mention slavery as the reason for the Civil War. While Biden is prepared to be made fun of – (we can almost hear the age jokes now ) – thin skinned Trump has zero sense of humor when HE’S the butt of jokes. He insists on complete control of a skit. Needless to say, the show said no way, so it’s unlikely now he will appear. Based on his past behavior, he’ll CLAIM he was unfairly excluded, so remember where you read this. He turned them down because he can’t take a joke.

Chloe Fineman Saturday Night Live Scientology SNL Tom Cruise

CAN CHLOE FINEMAN BRING TOM CRUISE TO SNL?

We were recently SHOCKED to hear that the lovable and talented Chloe Fineman from SNL was born into a Scientology family! How devoted she is, we don’t know. But we DO know that SNL producers have for YEARS been trying to get Scientologist Tom Cruise to host or make a cameo appearance on the show and he has always turned them down. (Although two of his ex-wives HAVE hosted) Now the SNL top brass are urging Chloe to use her Scientology connection to persuade him to appear. Our inside source says Tom has avoided SNL because the show has poked fun at Scientology and HIM in the past. To her credit, Chloe has a sense of humor about it all, so she’s working to get Tom to bury the hatchet and make an appearance later this season.

Chris Redd Dating Divorce Kenan Thompson Saturday Night Live Wife

KENAN THOMPSON: NO HARD FEELINGS – REALLY?

Nice to hear that there are civilized divorces happening these days – even in Hollywood. SNL’s Kenan Thompson is a prime example. He and his wife Christina Evangeline actually separated a few years ago, and finally filed for divorce in April- without malice. After 14 years together they just “grew apart” and remain on good terms- they co-parent and spend holidays together with their two daughters. Kenan REALLY proved his good intentions when his estranged wife started dating his SNL costar Chris Redd. (Chris also just costarred with Thompson on his ill-fated series Kenan for 2 seasons!) It’s hard to imagine a man not being disturbed by his wife dating his good friend, but so far Kenan is living up to his nice-guy image…

JIMMY FALLON: STILL A BIG KID

We love this then-and-now combination portrait of Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon today, and as a child. He hasn’t changed all that much. Same earnest fun-loving smile. It’s easy to imagine him getting down on the floor to play with his kids. Jimmy just weathered a big storm – his blackface skit from his days on SNL surfaced. Immediately there were online demands for him to be cancelled! Jamie Foxx defended his friend with “We got bigger fish to fry.” Jimmy spent a show making heartfelt apologies and discussing his “personal evolution” since the SNL event. He did the right thing… and still has his job.

Casanova Kaia Gerber Pete Davidson SNL

EXACTLY WHY IS PETE DAVIDSON A CHICK MAGNET?

Male members of the SNL cast must be shaking their heads, wondering WHY and WHEN goofy Pete Davidson, became irresistible to gorgeous women. His latest flame, Kaia Gerber, 18, slipped into the show’s after-party to join Pete and the obviously smitten model brought him a 26th birthday cake. Since Ariana Grande, the list goes on…Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, and now Kaia. Pete and Kaia’s cross-country romance has taken them from NY to LA. And back. Are females attracted to Pete’s humor? Insiders say it’s more than that – Pete is very polite, and he’s sweet and lovable, not calculating. Kaia’s mom Cindy Crawford must be very amused by the whole situation…

Colin Jost Scarlett Johansson SNL

SCARLETT JOHANSSON AND COLIN JOST: THE GENUINE SNL CELEBRITY COUPLE

While all eyes have been feasting on the aborted relationship of SNL doofus Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande, another SNL celebrity romance has flourished. It was a huge deal when SNL writer and Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost surprised everyone and started dating – of all people- Scarlett Johansson last year. They spent much of the summer together and are more inseparable than ever. Scarlett likes a smart funny guy (He’s a Harvard grad) and both grew up in New York so they have a lot in common. This is our new favorite couple…

David Spade HBO Just Shoot Me SNL

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP FOR DAVID SPADE

Former SNL comic and Just Shoot Me actor David Spade is not only taking pretty women in tight pants out to dinner at Craig’s, but he’s got a big new job. HBO is developing a half hour comedy series (still untitled) just for him. Spade plays a 90’s grunge musician who lost his career to drugs and is now sober and working as a waiter in the Valley. Along comes a messed up twenty-something actress, and the plot thickens. Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman are writing and directing, so this is a real deal comeback for David.

Manbag Pete Davidson Scumbro SNL

WHAT DOES PETE DAVIDSON NEVER LEAVE AT HOME?

No, it’s not the side of fries – OR fiancée Ariana Grande. SNL comic Pete Davidson’s athleisure style has been described as “scumbro” (he did appear on “Queer Eye”) but we are fixated on his little bags. Literally every time he leaves the house, Pete is clutching his small black Supreme bag which can also be worn as a fanny pack or as a crossbody, like he’s wearing it today. We must note he IS starting to look like Ariana – note the baby pink sweatshirt and the freshly bleached blonde hair.

Eve Ghostbusters Long Time No See Melissa McCarthy

THERE’S SOMETHING STRANGE IN EVE’S NEIGHBORHOOD

Rapper Eve seems to be jumping on the Ghostbusters bandwagon in this trendy gas station style jumpsuit, as she walks her dog Hendrix in Soho. Just in case you’re planning to see the Ghostbusters movie this weekend, don’t let male reviewers scare you away. If you love those girls from SNL along with Melissa McCarthy, like we do, you’ll get a kick out of the movie IN SPITE OF the tedious special effects ghosts. The girls’ interaction is really funny and Melissa isn’t as vulgar as she usually is. They are all delightful, in fact, and we’d love to see them together in a non-Ghostbusters movie. But this is what we have now, and yes, it IS worth seeing because of Melissa, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon.
(By the way, Eve is currently touring with Gwen Stefani.)

Comedy January Jones Jason Sudeikis Jeremy Piven Mad Men SNL

JANUARY JONES JUST WANTS A GOOD LAUGH

Admirers of Mad Men’s January Jones might be interested to hear that she has a weakness for funny men. Not gorgeous guys, comedians. She loves comics more than any other kind of guy – especially the ones on SNL. A knowledgeable source has informed us that she and Jason Sudeikis are just friends, however. She’s rumored to have had a flirtation with Fred Armisan and definitely had a fling with Jeremy Piven. Her search for the funniest guy in town is still underway.
