Will Justin Timberlake Or The Lonely Island Take Home An Emmy For Original Song?
Thu Jul 14 2011 by Idolator Staff
The cast of Glee fared pretty well with the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences this year, but the musical comedy series surprisingly wasn't nominated for "Original Music & Lyrics" despite this season's addition of original tunes. Instead, Saturday Night Live dominated the category with four nominations, leaving room for only Family Guy's "Christmastime Is Killing Us" and "An American Prayer—Hymn II?" from the HBO comedy special Robert Klein: Unfair & Unbalanced. (Another HBO special that went over well with the Emmys? Lady Gaga's Monster Ball snagged five nods!) Watch the nominated clips below, then vote for the winner in our poll.

Lady Gaga’s ‘SNL’ Performance Packs Guts, Glory And Threeways
Sun May 22 2011 by Idolator Staff
Lady Gaga's SNL performance was bound to be a spectacle unlike any other. Not just because Saturday night represented her final major performance before Born This Way finally hits record shops (well, maybe except for her Beyonce tribute for Billboard), not just because she had to top her riveting Monsters' Ball HBO special, and not just because she was borrowing an outfit from non-singing host Justin Timberlake. Nope. Gaga's appearance on the Saturday Night Live season finale had to be big because, even though she's the most powerful entertainer in the world, she's driven to play the underdog, and to defy all critics, real or imagined.
What did she have in store after teasing us with a "GLORIOUS surprise"? Watch below. More »

Justin Timberlake Gets Haunted With Andy Samberg In ‘Saturday Night Live’ Promos
Wed May 18 2011 by Becky Bain
Since this Saturday is apparently the start of the end of the world, we can't imagine spending it any other way than watching Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga on the season finale of Saturday Night Live. (Okay, maybe spending it actually with Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga might be more fun, but we're being realistic, here.) Host JT saddles up next to his "Dick In A Box" and "Mother Lover" buddy Andy Samberg for some promos, and the duo gets visited by a ghost, in addition to their identical twin sisters (who curiously sport facial hair). Watch below! More »
The Lonely Island Dresses Snoop Dogg Up In A “Turtleneck & Chain”
Sun May 1 2011 by Idolator Staff
Turtlenecks, chains, and light beers all get a very bad wrap in the latest single from The Lonely Island. The title track from their upcoming album Turtleneck & Chain (due May 10) gets an assist from one of the LP's bevy of high-profile celebrity guest stars — in this case, none other than Snoop Dogg himself (who we believe usually prefers something more potent than a light beer when he's looking to party). The comical ditty follows the lead of "We're Back!"' in featuring the boys bragging about stuff the rest of us probably don't find so alluring. Give the latest "Garfield sex music" a listen below.

The Lonely Island Is Cockier Than Ever In Their New Video “We’re Back!”
Sat Apr 2 2011 by Idolator Staff
Reproductive organs compared to a melted stick of butter. CGI Garfield licking CGI Marmaduke in an unmentionable area. The line “I got Hepatitis C from a horse, but no confusion / It wasn’t from the sex, it was a blood transfusion.” Either Ark Music Factory has undergone some major restaffing of their songwriters, or SNL’s in-house rappers The Lonely Island are back with the appropriately titled single “We’re Back!” The Grammy-nominated trio dropped by Jimmy Kimmel last night to premiere the genitalia-themed "We're Back!" video from their forthcoming LP Turtleneck & Chain, due in June. Is it an instant classic like "I'm On A Boat"? Decide for yourself below.

Rihanna Steals The Spotlight On ‘Saturday Night Live’ With Shy Ronnie
Sun Oct 31 2010 by Idolator Staff
Last time Rihanna dropped by 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the results were both hilarious and award-worthy - her SNL Digital Short with Andy Samberg, which featured RiRi impatiently requesting that Shy Ronnie “speak up” during his whispered rap, was nominated for an Emmy. This Halloween weekend, RiRi also managed to scare up two killer renditions of singles from her upcoming album, Loud, in addition to more shenanigans with the low-talking Ronnie. Check out Rihanna’s Saturday Night Live appearance below, and tell us whether it's just as Emmy-worthy the second time around.

PHOTOS: Lady Gaga To Return To Fashion Week, Inspire More Look-A-Likes
Mon Jan 11 2010 by Becky Bain
Lady Gaga is set to return to New York’s Fashion Week next month with a Feb. 10 performance at the amfAR New York gala fundraiser, where she’ll likely point the way for countless imitators during the past year.
Whether you love or loathe Gaga’s fashion statements, you have to admit her outlandish and oddball fashion picks set the fashion pace in 09. (Further proof of her influence as a fashion trendsetter: dolls in her own likeness!) How did this happen? Simple: Stefani Germanotta never missed an opportunity to show off a new look, from the playful-and-puzzling outfits she wore while setting fire to her piano onstage to the head-scratchers she chose for working the red carpet. How could Rihanna, Fergie and other stars NOT pay attention?
Click through the gallery to see the clearest evidence of Lady Gaga’s influence on the stars of the past year — was imitation just a form of flattery? More »
Alicia Keys Can Always Get A Job In Phone Sex If Singing Doesn’t Work Out
Mon Jan 11 2010 by Becky Bain
Andy Samberg is probably the luckiest guy on TV. First he slithered up next to Beyoncé in nothing but a pair of tights, got to duet with Rihanna, and on this past Saturday's SNL, he made Alicia Keys say sweet, sexy nothings to him over the phone. Plus, the dorkier he dresses himself, the hotter the R&B stars get. Can't wait for Keri Hilson to eventually get on the show and be forced to straddle Samberg in a giant chicken suit. Til that happens, check out the sensual and seductive digital short "Booty Call" after the jump.

T-Pain And Andy Samberg Get Crabby In A New Funny Or Die Video
Tue Dec 15 2009 by Robbie Daw
Saturday Night Live’s Andy Samberg and his fellow “I’m On A Boat” Grammy nominee T-Pain extend their collaborative relationship with a new video posted to Funny Or Die.
In the clip, Samberg gets his Auto-Tune on by serenading a hermit crab (hot), using the I Am T-Pain iPhone application. The “Buy U A Drank” rapper then calls Andy up, and they make several references to “I’m On A Boat.” And scones. Pain then fronts like he didn’t even know there was an I Am T-Pain app.
Not sure if this latest effort falls under the “funny” or “die” category—in fact, T-Pain’s “Take Your Shirt Off” music video is far more of a knee-slapper—but hop below and judge for yourself. More »
Justin Timberlake Serves Up A Minestrone Of Pop-Rap Hits
Mon May 11 2009 by Maura
Sure, the Christmastime setting of Justin Timberlake’s Saturday Night Live skit in which he dresses up as a cup of soup and retrofits “Shoop,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” and “Whoomp! There It Is” for the purposes of collecting cash for a charity–and out-hipping the sad-sack Salvation Army Santa who only knows moldy old carols–seems a bit odd, given that the calendar was just flipping to May 10 when it happened. But you have to admit that even while in instant-lunch drag, his performance doesn’t come off as foam-handed in the least. (EDIT: Oh, it did air in December; this is what happens when you watch TV via online “Recently Updated” lists, ha ha. The sequel clip, in which JT dresses up as a breast implant and invites people on down to “Plasticville”, is below.) Meanwhile, if you somehow didn’t have “Motherlover”–Timberlake and Andy Samberg’s Mother’s Day-themed sequel to “Dick In A Box”–e-mailed to you 10 times over the past 36ish hours, it’s after the jump.
