Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig attend dinner in honour of Jon Hamm's Details magazine cover

SNL stars Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig were among the attendees of a private dinner hosted by Jon Hamm to celebrate his Details magazine cover. I've found a few photos from the event and posted them after the jump. Enjoy!

Jon Hamm to host SNL October 30

Jon Hamm announced on last night's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon that he would be hosting the October 30 edition of Saturday Night Live. This will be Hamm's third stint hosting in as many seasons.
That's the second hosting announcement made in the last few days and I have to say, I'm liking how this season is shaping up! Poehler, Cranston, Lynch, Stone and Hamm? Perfect!

Emma Stone hosting SNL October 23

Emma Stone officially confirmed rumours on last night's edition of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon that she will be hosting SNL October 23. The actress, who is earning stellar reviews for her turn in Easy A, has long expressed a desire to host Saturday Night Live and while doing press in Toronto this past weekend, she had hinted that she would be hosting SNL this season.
Very excited for this one - I think Stone has tons of potential to be great host! No word on musical guest yet. 

Newly departed SNL cast member Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis took to the stage to celebrate the sixth anniversary of Seth Herzog's SWEET show at The Webster Hall Studio and reprised their much-loved SNL sketch Jon Bovi. Check it out in the video above.

Seth Meyers to guest on The Martha Stewart Show

Seth Meyers is slated to appear as a guest on The Martha Stewart Show on September 28. Just FYI, The Martha Stewart Show will begin airing at 10a/9c on The Hallmark Channel from September 13 on along with encore airings at 4/3c and 5/4c. 

Rumour - Emma Stone to host SNL?

While doing press for Easy A in Toronto, Stone very coyly batted away questions regarding hosting SNL at some point, leading a USA Today reporter to believe that Emma Stone will be hosting an upcoming episode of SNL at some point. It’s not exactly hard to believe - Stone has been very vocal in articulating her desire to host SNL and is drawing lots of attention for her star-making performance in Easy A. My guess is that she’ll be hosting it at some point in mid-October, while buzz for Easy A is still fresh.

Bill Hader at Stand Up To Cancer

Bill Hader was one of the many participants in last night's fundraiser special, "Stand Up To Cancer". During the telecast, Hader reprised his impression of Richard Branson.

Seth Meyers at Fashion's Night Out (09/10/10)

Seth Meyers, continuing his flirtation with the idea of becoming a fashionista, was in attendance at last night's Fashion's Night Out event thrown by Prada. 
He was pictured with Dakota Fanning, whose young adult-ness is very disconcerting for me, Jessica Szhor and Vogue artistic director Grace Coddington.

Bobby Moynihan was a guest on The Hype Men podcast where he talked about a whole bunch of things pertaining to SNL. You can download the podcast here.  Enjoy!

Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein held a press conference in Portland on Friday for their upcoming IFC series, "Portlandia". The two went to great lengths to assure Portland natives that the joke won't be on the town, but rather on themselves. It was also revealed that stars like Jason Sudeikis, Heather Graham and Steve Buscemi as well as the previously announced Kyle McLachlan and Aubrey Plaza.
The series "satirizing such alternative-culture types as the owners of a feminist book store, a bike messenger, a punk-rock couple, and an arty duo obsessed with putting little cut-outs of birds on anything they lay their hands on", will feature short films each week and some recurring characters. However, Armisen stated that the series would not be limited to humour or hipster images, going so far as to say, "We don't even know if it's necessarily comedy."


Portlandia will debut on IFC next January.
