Demi Lovato’s Eating Disorder Comedy Pilot Gets NBC Order
Lovato has been open about having an eating disorder herself in the past. “I was compulsively overeating when I was 8 years old,” she told ABC News in 2011. “So, I guess, for the past 10 years I’ve had a really unhealthy relationship with food.” Lovato has also said that when she was working on Camp Rock as a teenage Disney Channel star, she was bullied about her weight by her classmates, which in turn led to bulimia. “I was performing concerts on an empty stomach,” she said. “I was losing my voice from purging.” If the project is greenlit to series, it will mark Lovato’s first regular TV role since she starred in Disney Channel’s 2009 series Sonny With a Chance. The news comes on the heels...
Taylor Swift Is Obsessed With Stephen Colbert In Hilarious ‘Late Show’ Segment
With all that work to do, it made sense for Swift to zoom in from the studio where she’s rerecording her complete works. That’s exactly what she did. So, was “Hey Stephen” written about Colbert? Nope. C’mon. Swift recorded it back in the day when she was 18, he was probably 44. “It’s just the power of music,” she explained, dismissing him. “Don’t flatter yourself.” Then, matters took a strange turn when Swift held up something she prepared earlier, a mood board stacked with pictures of Colbert. Swift then flexed her comic-acting chops by walking us through some stalker-ish knowledge of Steph’s little-known table-waiting history and every fine detail down to his social security number. “You Need to Calm Down” also isn’t about Stephen, maybe. “Hey Stephen” is actually, in Swift’s own words, ...
Demi Lovato & Drew Barrymore Discuss Their ‘Challenging’ Lives as Child Stars
The two reflected on the “weird” dynamic of being around adults all the time for work while watching them grab a drink afterward and thinking as a teenager growing up in the Hollywood environment, “Well what do I get to do to play?” Lovato later elaborated on her mentality of “if you’re going to work me like an adult, I get to party like one” while the two touched on their struggles with drinking. Barrymore also recalled a portion of the singer’s latest YouTube Originals docuseries Dancing With the Devil where Bachelor host Chris Harrison questioned a 16-year-old Lovato on the red carpet at the 2008 American Music Awards how she could know about heartbreak. The scene follows shortly after Lovato reveals she had been allegedly r...
Bowen Yang on ‘SNL’ as Iceberg Who Sunk the Titanic Goes Viral
Yang’s iceberg snapped at Colin Jost’s line of questions about the Titanic with, “I think my publicist was very clear: I’m not here to talk about the sinking,” before getting into the details of the incident from his point of view. “First of all, you came to where I live and you hit me! It was midnight. I was chilling. And then I hear this Irish cacophony behind me,” he explained. “And before I turn around and go, like, ‘What?’ Half my ass is gone, which was my best feature. And I’m literally injured but all anybody cares about is that like 40 or 50 people died or whatever.” Yang was trending on Twitter Sunday morning for the hilarious bit and a tweet from the show with the segment had more than 25,000 likes alone. Yang — SNL‘s first Asian American cast ...
Kid Cudi Wears Dress on ‘SNL’ in Honor of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, Rocks Chris Farley Shirt
Kid Cudi paid tribute to Nirvana‘s Kurt Cobain and Saturday Night Live great Chris Farley during his musical guest debut on the long-running NBC sketch comedy show. During the April 10 episode hosted by actress Carey Mulligan, the 37-year-old rapper — born Scott Mescudi — performed two tracks from his 2020 album, Man on the Moon III: The Chosen, while paying his respects to the fallen legends. For his first performance of “Tequila Shots,” Cudi stepped onto the stage wearing a fuzzy olive-green cardigan similar to the one Cobain famously wore during Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged in New York live performance, which aired months before his death in 1994. Underneath, he rocked a white shirt emblazoned with a headshot of the boisterous actor-comedian Farley, who wa...
Marcus Mumford Crashes Carey Mulligan’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ Monologue: Watch
“I’m also very excited to be here because my husband was actually musical guest three times — Marcus Mumford from Mumford & Sons! Or as I like to call it, My Husband & Sons,” she boasted. “But he couldn’t be here tonight, so he’s at home watching the children. So hi, babe! Love you!” That’s when the musician chimed in from the back of the audience. “Love you too! Hi, Carey! Couldn’t miss this for the world!” he called down with the a wave as the audience cheered. “And I meant to ask: Do you know if they booked a musical guest for tonight?” After being informed that the show indeed already had a musical guest booked, Mumford let his wife know that he’s ready should SNL need someone to step in. ...
Kid Cudi & Timothee Chalamet Celebrate Rap’s ‘Weird Little Flute’ on ‘SNL’: Watch
Kid Cudi joined Saturday Night Live‘s Pete Davidson and Chris Redd in a hilarious sketch celebrating one of rap music’s most underrated instruments — the “weird little flute.” “We got the fits, we got the flow, we got the 808s, we got the Xanned out tempo,” the faux hip-hop trio begins the musical skit. “We got that drip-drip-drip, we got that Brut, the only thing that’s missing is that weird little flute.” From there, Cudi, Davidson and Redd take viewers into a music video-reminiscent world of nightclubs, pool halls and music stores to show off their flute-playing skills. They also explore the many other practical applications of the airy woodwind instrument, such as using it for a pool cue, chopsticks and back scratcher.&nb...
Prince Charles pays tribute to ‘my dear papa’ Philip for devoted service
Britain’s Prince Charles paid a personal tribute on Saturday to his “dear papa” Prince Philip, saying the royal family missed him emormously and that the 99-year-old would have been amazed at the touching reaction across the world to his death. Philip, the husband of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth who had been at her side throughout her record-breaking 69-year reign, died at Windsor Castle on Friday. “As you can imagine, my family and I miss my father enormously,” Charles, the couple’s eldest son and heir to the throne, said outside his Highgrove House home in west England. “My dear papa was a very special person who I think above all else would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him and from that point of view we are, my family, deeply grateful f...
Hey Stephen: Taylor Swift Is Coming to ‘Colbert’ Next Week
Her late-night TV appearance will be her first since December, when she went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! shortly after the surprise release of her ninth studio album Evermore, which also happened to be the day after her 31st birthday.

Television appearances have been instrumental in her promotion of Fearless (Taylor’s Version), which she first announced — as well as the release of “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” as the first single — on Good Morning America in February. GMA also premiered an...
