Seth Meyers Gossip

As promised, Rihanna did a Day Drinking segment with Seth Meyers that aired last night. If you are a Rihanna fan (who ISN’T?!), this is worth your time. Because they do, indeed, drink. Full Story

The full trailer for Disney’s live-action remake of The Lion King is here and I remain totally unmoved. It’s a shot-for-shot remake. Sure, it looks beautiful, but it’s a shot-for-shot remake. Besides money, WHY? There is no answer, except “money”. Also, I really need a ruling on what counts as “live-action” because this is animation, albeit, photo-real animation. Full Story

Let’s be real here – the Golden Globes hosting gig is 92% the opening monologue, because, as everyone tweets at 9:42pm ET, you forget that there was a host at all. The exception was in the Amy & Tina years, and we’ll get to those in a second. But the entire tone of the show is set in that monologue, on how many of the jokes land or bomb. Full Story

Leslie Jones tweeted for the first time yesterday after calling out her harassers earlier this week. Twitter finally responded to her requests to have racist accounts taken down. Here’s how she came back: Welp. Full Story

2016 is, without doubt, an annus horribilis, a worldwide sh*tstorm that is starting to feel suspiciously like the first chapter in a dystopia novel. 2016 is the real-life equivalent of a Hieronymous Bosch painting—this detail of a bird-monster sh*tting bubble people while it eats a person that is sh*tting birds perfectly sums up the year so far. Full Story

Seth Meyers got married, which is not news, BUT now the pictures are out, along with a VOGUE write up, so we’ve got a few things to discuss about the ascending late-night powerhouse and his big day. The first thing to talk about is obviously the ceremony, which looks special if you’re into that whole Pinterest /rustic /Martha’s Vineyard /expensive /gorgeous /Olivia Munn is there vibe. Full Story

I know it was officially the Time 100 party last night but scanning through all the pictures it really looked like it was Amy Poehler’s party. I want to go to an Amy Poehler party. Remember at the Emmys when all the comedy ladies took the stage like a pageant and held each other until a winner was crowned? You know that was all Poehler, right? Poehler is what Ashley Judd was trying to write Full Story

There were some photos taken. Not sure if anyone’s purchased them yet. I think they missed this week’s print deadline for magazines but if they wanted to, I’m sure they could have squeezed them in. I wasn’t interested in buying but the way they’re marketing them, it’s hard to imagine that some tabloid wouldn’t be able to create a story out of them. Full Story

SNL’s Seth Meyers and Jason Sudeikis were courtside at the Knicks game last night. I like it that they spend time together outside of work. I don’t know, celebrity friends just make me happy, although I do wonder how tight they are. Because I’ve heard loose reports that Jason can be kinda dicky. Full Story

I took a stab at watching the ESPYs (ESPN’s annual sports award show—I think it stands for Everybody Sports People Yay) last night. I made it to the 2:25 point, but with no end in sight and a late DVR start, I had to give up. The ESPYS give out awards like “best team” (New Orleans Saints) and “best moment” (Landon Donovan’s game-winning goal for USA versus Algeria in the World Cup), but they also have a bunch of “most inspiring little league moment” type awards that guarantee you cry. Full Story

It was an Evening with Saturday Night Live last night in New York. Cast members and Lorne Michaels spoke at the event presented by The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. I think I’ve already mentioned a few times, many times, my crush on Seth Meyers. He looked extra adorable. Like a cute waiter. Full Story
