Kristen Stewart reveals how Donald Trump inspired her to come out

Kristen Stewart has revealed how Donald Trump’s tweets about her break-up with Robert Pattinson inspired her to come out as gay.In February 2017, Stewart hosted Saturday Night Live and took the opportunity to hit back at the then-President of the United States, who had been highly critical of her on social media.“Donald, if you didn’t like me then, you’re probably really not going to like me now,” she said during her opening monologue. “Because I’m hosting SNL and I’m, like, so gay, dude.”In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Stewart said the decision to come out on national television was a “very shoot-from-the-hip moment”, explaining that it came about after the SNL team suggested using Trump’s comments in her monologue.In Trump’s tweets, the former president accused her of cheating on her ex-boyfriend and Twilight co-star Pattinson, and encouraged him not to get back with her.“He’s mad at me for cheating on my boyfriend?” she said.

Jennifer Lopez says Ayo Edebiri apologised for calling her career “one long scam”

Jennifer Lopez has revealed that actor Ayo Edebiri apologised to her “with tears in her eyes” for insulting the singer’s career.While appearing on an episode of the Scam Goddess podcast in 2020, Edebiri described Lopez’s career as “one long scam,” saying the musician “thinks that she’s still good, even though she’s not singing for most of these songs.” The Bear star also agreed with host Laci Mosley’s claim that Lopez “can’t sing.”Earlier this month, Edebiri’s comments resurfaced ahead of her debut hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, where she was accompanied by Lopez as a musical guest. Now, in a new interview with Variety, Lopez has revealed that Edebiri approached her to apologise before filming the SNL episode.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler ‘Restless Leg’ review: Can’t miss greatest hits

Amy Poehler was also bestowed with a “Best Of.” However, her cast mate and co-anchor on Weekend Update Tina Fey never had one produced in her honor.Thankfully, the duo’s excellent ongoing ‘Restless Leg Tour’ rectifies that unfortunate slight.Currently running at New York City’s Beacon Theatre for an extended residency — which includes a likely to be packed Valentine’s Day show — the pair flex all their comedic muscles over the course of an airtight 90-minute show.It’s like a live “Best Of” but…better. A “Better Of?” Yeah, that feels right.Without spoiling too much (there’s so much good stuff), here’s our rundown of the comedic team’s live show along with a few of our favorite lines from the oft-uproarious night.Before Fey and Poehler took the stage, burgeoning star Zarna Garg kicked off the night with a barn-burning 15-minute set.Garg, a mother of three, joked about her family, reality TV and immigrating to America.“This may come as a shock to some of you, but I am an immigrant,” she began.

Saturday Night Live has poked fun at Donald Trump‘s recent comments suggesting sick voters should still go and vote for him even if they die afterwards.The former president is currently running for the Republican Party nomination to be U.S. president, last week winning the Iowa caucuses.However, ahead of the vote amid freezing temperatures, Trump controversially suggested voters should head to the polls no matter what, telling a campaign event: “If you’re sick as a dog, you say, ‘Darling…,’ even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it. If you’re sick, if you’re just so sick, you can’t, ‘Darling, I don’t think…,’ get up.”During last weekend’s (January 20) episode of SNL, Trump impersonator James Austin Johnson took part in a Cold Open as Trump as the politician appears outside of court amid his ongoing legal troubles.After boasting about his Iowa win, Johnson’s Trump says: “My people love me.

tackled the sensational congressional hearings of December 5, when New York’s Republican congresswoman Elise Stefanik grilled the presidents of MIT, Harvard and UPenn — who all refused to condemn students calling for the genocide of Jews on their campuses. A worthy topic, but a disastrous, embarrassing rendering: “SNL” came out swinging — on the side of antisemitism.The sketch’s target wasn’t the university presidents, who failed so spectacularlyat the Capitol Building that Liz Magill of UPenn has already quit and critics are clamoring for Harvard’s Claudine Gay and MIT’s Sally Kornbluth to tender their own resignations.Instead, “SNL” writers turned their poison pens on Stefanik, who actually trounced the three in a public beating like we haven’t seen since Ivan Drago killed Apollo Creed onscreen back in ’85.

‘SNL’ pokes fun at George Santos’ expulsion in musical send-off: ‘Scandal in the wind’

expelled Rep. George Santos in a swan song and dance filled with lies on Saturday night.Holding a press conference outside of the Capitol building following his expulsion, Santos, played by Yang, insisted he was being assaulted and bullied by the entire country because he was a “proud, gay thief.”“Since the day I was elected, it’s been a witch hunt, but if I’m guilty of anything it’s for loving too much- slash- fraud,” he said with an overcoat draped over his shoulders, during the show’s “Cold Open.”“Now I’m sure you bloodthirsty jackals in the media have a thousand mean, nasty questions you’re dying to ask me, go,” Santos says before a reporter responds “You called this press conference, no one asked you to do this”As he called on reporters for questions, Santos attempted to trick them by asking for their banking personal information such as their bank routing number, mother’s maiden name, and childhood pet, the latter of which got an answer.Now stripped of his congressional duties, Santos referred to himself by his new title of “Professor, Major, General, Reverend, Astronaut Santos, Protector of the Realm and Princess of Genovia,” the fictional country from “The Princess Diaries” film series.When he is asked how he’d like to be remembered later in history, Santos answered with his parody of Elton John’s hit song “Candle in the Wind.”Santos, appearing in a dark room alongside a grand piano for his final performance, began singing his ballad by saying goodbye to the “Congress Queens” although they didn’t know him because he lied about his entire life to them.
