A photo of Madonna

Surprise, it’s Madonna! Yay! I hope nobody slips up and places some ugly flowers in her dressing room, LOL! Remember, because she has strong feelings about certain kinds of flowers. Oh, Madonna, what will you do next?!

Now, I don’t love Madonna or anything crazy like that (sorry I never jammed to “Material Girl” or whatever, but it doesn’t make me a bad person), but I’m sure her show will still be waaaaay better than last year’s. Remember that train wreck? That completely uncalled-for combination of the Black Eyed Peas, Usher, and Slash? I barely remember it, mostly because I only watched a tiny bit of it on YouTube after everyone who ever said words called it the most horrendous performance ever, but geez, right?

Are you psyched for Madonna’s upcoming performance? Will she be able to rock it? Is there anyone else who would have been better suited to do this show?

A photo of Rihanna

“That’s not me. That’s a part I play. You know, like it’s a piece of art … I just want to make music. See, people – especially white people – they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me and being a role model became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That’s it.”

- Rihanna opens up about not being such a saucy minx in real life. I think.

Does this quote confuse the hell out of anyone else? Because I think what Rihanna is saying is that she’s not really as trashy as she makes herself out to be sometimes and that white people … I don’t know. I really don’t. Is she saying that she says some inspirational things in her songs and that people want her to exemplify those things? Because I thought she just sang about whips and chains and more different rough sex.

Can someone please offer up some clarification here?

In New Zealand, grown men can dress as sheep, snuggle together in a cramped “SkyCouch” fold-down seat (sharing a SkyCouch is a great way to save money!), and dream sweet, sweet dreams of David Hasselhoff.

Yeah, OK, it’s no “Hooked on a Feeling,” but it’s sure getting there.

Photo: CNN hailed Melissa McCarthy's Linda the 'new Pete Schweddy'

To quickly catch you up on Saturday Night Live news: Kenan Thompson is engaged to his model fiancée; meanwhile, castmembers Fred Armisen and Abby Elliott broke up. (A 20-year age gap, you say? RRRRRRRRED FLAG!)

Saturday’s episode of SNL, hosted by Emmy-winning Melissa McCarthy, garnered higher ratings than the season premiere, incredibly. Did McCarthy’s performance manage to top Alec Baldwin’s? Absolutely. The lady was up for anything.

The cold open uses Taran Killam’s (who?) considerable talents (I know, right?) very nicely, but what really makes this sketch sing is Melissa McCarthy’s man-arms. (As per its usual, the Onion A.V. Club hated this sketch, along with everything else ever. Vulture, in the meantime, applauded McCarthy’s range.)

The opening monologue is cute. I really love Kristen Wiig as McCarthy’s foil.

First. UNNHH. How hot is T.I.? I’m not one to crush on the rapper-types, as I find a lot of them kind of pretentious and crappy and self-involved, but T.I. is HOT HOT HOT. Taylor Swift, on the other hand? Well. I don’t know. Not so much. You know how we kind of collectively feel about Taylor Swift around these parts, so I’ll give her a free pass on this one and move on to the good points. How about all that screaming? I didn’t know there were many Taylor Swift fans that were also T.I. fans, and vice versa.

Sorry about the poor audio. You know how it goes sometimes.
