Betty White Confirms SNL
Betty White has confirmed that she’ll appear on Saturday Night Live, according to People. While attending Elton John’s Oscar viewing party, the magazine asked White, “Are you doing Saturday Night Live?,” and the actress said, “Yes.” But White did not offer up any further details. A rep for SNL could not confirm White’s statements. The Golden Girls star has been the subject of a growing online campaign to get the legend to host SNL.Straight from the horse's mouth, yo'!
Check out this MTV article in which Tina Fey discusses her upcoming stint hosting SNL.

Kristen Wiig in This Month's "V" Magazine
V Magazine features a story on Kristen Wiig this month, complete with photos of Wiig inspired by Carmen Miranda, Frida Kahlo and Brigitte Bardot. The photos are pretty cool, and while the article cannot be read online, here are two snippets in which Jason Sudeikis and Jorma Taccone gush about Wiig.
"Something I always admire, especially in female comedians, is that they're willing to make themselves look terrible," SNL writer Jorma Taccone says in the accompanying story. "She looks so good in real life, and to transform herself into these horrible, contorted, defaced characters is so impressive, as is her willingness to throw herself into a character, no matter how horrendous; she does whatever it takes."
“There’s always a time when she’ll say, ‘Well, when I was a florist,’or ‘When I sold peaches on the street,’ or ‘When I went to massage school,’” Jason Sudeikis says of his “Saturday Night Live” cohort.“She’s a journeyman who can start a sentence from any number of non sequiturs.”

MacGruber Release Date Pushed Back
In a seemingly overwhelming vote of confidence in MacGruber, Universal Pictures has opted to push back MacGruber's release date from April 23 to May 21, so as it can go up against Shrek Forever After. Y'know Shrek, that massively successful movie franchise that has a pretty good record of earning bucketloads of money? Yeah. Universal thought it'd be wise to put MacGruber i.e a movie based on an SNL sketch, which historically have not done well box-office wise, against that.
Now look, I don't doubt that MacGruber is probably better than the likes of It's Pat or The Ladies Man, but really Universal? You think that a movie based on a cult sketch stands a chance against Shrek? I get that they have different audiences, but you're looking at going 2 weeks after Iron Man 2, and 1 week before Prince Of Persia/Sex and The City 2, at which point MacGruber is doomed to get swallowed up by the incoming tide of competition. It's like you want it to fail.
As Cinema Blend puts it, counter-programming almost never works, and I don't envision MacGruber being as successful as The Hangover, no matter what ill thought-out strategy you apply, Universal.
Right now, all I have to say is - Oi.
