‘Furiosa’: Anya Taylor-Joy Boasts That George Miller’s ‘Mad Max’ Prequel Has A 15-Minute Action Sequence That Took 78 Days To Shoot

Anne McCarthy On “SNL,” a Weekend Update segment playfully poked fun at 20-year-old singer JoJo Siwa’s transformation into an edgier and more adult persona. Chloe Fineman appeared as Siwa at the Weekend Update desk dressed in head-to-toe black glitter and a black body suit, the same outfit from Siwa’s music video for her new single “Karma.” “Wow, oh my god, JoJo!” said Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost upon seeing the singer’s new look and dark glitter eye makeup. “That’s right, Colin; I’m a bad girl now!” Commenting on her attire, she said, “Yeah, it’s a pretty big change.
