The Lonely Island, Michael Bolton And Akon Sex Up The Emmys
Mon Sep 19 2011 by Robbie Daw
Last night's Emmy Awards telecast didn't hit too many high notes when it came to recognizing music-related shows (though Outstanding Directing for a variety, music or comedy series went to Don Roy King, for the May Saturday Night Live episode starring Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga). That said, at least there was the SNL spin-off "group" The Lonely Island, who performed a medley of their Turtleneck & Chain jams "I Just Had Sex" and "Jack Sparrow" — complete with Akon and Michael Bolton on backup — and "3 Way" (featuring Maya Rudolph filling in for Lady Gaga). Get sexy below.

The Lonely Island Invites Santigold To Join Their “After Party”
Sun May 8 2011 by Idolator Staff
Sounds like The Lonely Island is ready for something a little more intense than sipping light beer with Snoop Dogg. Now they're taking Santigold to the "After Party" — where, knowing these boys, some major shenanigans are bound to go down. The latest track to drop from the star-studded Turtleneck & Chain expertly mixes the raunchy and the ridiculous in true "Jizz In My Pants" fashion, assisted by the "Please Don't" singer with her faux-earnest 80's-throwback vocals. RSVP "yes" and join us at the "After Party" after the jump.

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.

Did You Hear?
:: The Enrique replacement rumors begin - Nicki Minaj is reportedly in talks to join Britney Spears' tour.

[EW Music Mix]
:: Glee's Jenna Ushkowitz whips up a frenzy during a new photo shoot. [Just Jared]

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.

Nicki Minaj Creeps Up On ‘SNL’
Sun Jan 30 2011 by Idolator Staff
If Nicki Minaj really is feeling the pressure of her stardom, she'd better get used to it. After her command performance on last night's Saturday Night Live, the Harajuku Barbie isn't going anywhere. In addition to lush performances of her acclaimed hits "Moment 4 Life" and "Right Thru Me", Nicki showed off her acting chops (and her KING-size derriere) in her role as the bewigged bride of "Blackenstein", and dropped a verse on the Lonely Island video introducing their new dance, "The Creep". Watch Nicki stage her massive attack on SNL below.

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.
