Pete Davidson Delivers Hilarious “Walking in Staten” Parody on SNL: Watch
The King of Staten Island has struck again. On last night’s Saturday Night Live, Pete Davidson sent up a loving parody of his hometown with a little help from a few friends. Titled “Walking in Staten,” the musical short spoofed Marc Cohn‘s 1991 hit “Walking in Memphis,” and even featured a cameo from the singer-songwriter himself. The clip also included appearances from Big Wet, Method Man, and local Staten Island fixture Chris the Hobby Guy — not to mention the rather alarming amount of wild turkeys outside the Staten Island University Hospital. “And I’m walking in Staten/ This place is the reason I turned out weird/ Walking in Staten/ And thanks to New Jersey, we now have deer/ Walking in Staten/ Where everybody’s dreams go right down the drain/ Walking in Staten/ Babies here are born wi...

Glenn Close Made Sure Her 101 Dalmatians Contract Included Keeping Every Single Cruella de Vil Costume
Cruella de Vil walked so that Miranda Priestly could run — and she is absolutely one of the greatest fashion villains of all time. It’s no surprise that a queen of similar stature, Glenn Close, got it written into her 101 Dalmatians contract that Disney would let her keep her entire Cruella de Vil character wardrobe — how divine! Close sat down with Pete Davidson to chat about their most memorable projects for Variety‘s Actors on Actors series for Amazon Studios. “Did you take any of Cruella’s wardrobe? It was so fabulous,” Davidson asked Close, whom played the stylish villain Cruella de Vil in the ’90s hit 101 Dalmatians and the sequel 102 Dalmatians. Close confessed that “I got in my contract that I got to keep all my costumes that I wore in the ...
Pete Davidson Says He’s Getting All His Tattoos Removed
Covering up one tattoo at a time apparently isn’t working for Pete Davidson anymore. The Saturday Night Live comedian says he’s currently in the process of removing every one of his 100 tattoos. Davidson is one of the most heavily tattooed celebrities around. He doesn’t go off the rails with one giant phoenix on his back like some actors, but instead tends to get one-off tributes to influential figures, like Hillary Clinton, RBG, and Harry Potter. In a 2019 interview with Inked, he said getting tatted is “just a release … When [I’m] so manic and upset, sometimes that’s the only thing that will work for me.” However, now that his Hollywood career seems to be heating up on the back of films like The King of Staten Island and the upcoming The Suicide Squad, all that ink is slowing him do...
Watch Timothée Chalamet and Pete Davidson Play Clueless SoundCloud Rappers in SNL Sketch
Timothée Chalamet played hosting duty on Saturday Night Live this weekend, and one of the episode’s memorable moments came at the expensive of SoundCloud rap. In the sketch, Chalamet and Pete Davidson play Guaplord and $mokecheddathaassgetta, two rappers who broke the record of most streams on SoundCloud with 3 billion. They join Queen Latifah (played by Punkie Johnson) and Questlove (played by the actual Questlove) in an XXL Rap Roundtable hosted by Nunya Bizness (Ego Nwodim). While the other two guests give smart, thoughtful answers to the questions at hand, Guaplord and $mokecheddathaassgetta have trouble forming full sentences and respond to everything with “yeet” (which also happens to be the name of their record-breaking song). After citing “Fall Out Boy...
Watch Eminem Make a Cameo in SNL Christmas-Themed ‘Stan’ Parody ‘Stu’
Saturday Night Live returned from its Thanksgiving hiatus this weekend with an episode hosted by Jason Bateman. Among the show’s highlights was a holiday-themed parody of Eminem’s famous “Stan” video starring Pete Davidson as an obsessed Santa fan named Stu who really wants a PS5 for Christmas. Kate McKinnon is featured as Dido (read: Stu’s mom) and Bowen Yang plays Elton John; however, the real Slim Shady does make a cameo at the end. Watch the “Stu” sketch below. [embedded content] We commemorated the Marshall Mathers LP’s 20th anniversary earlier this year with a reflection of that time in Eminem’s career. Slim Shady also made our “35 Most Influential Artists of the Past 35 Years” list, coming in at number 25. SNL plans to air two more episodes before the year’s...
