      The 31 year old, who picked up an army of new fans with his portrayal of the hunky Duke of Hastings in the steamy Netflix show, is reportedly smitten with writer and part-time soccer player Emily Brown.
      According to the Mail on Sunday newspaper, the couple shares a home together in North London. They were recently spotted embracing in the street before he flew to New York for a week of “Saturday Night Live” rehearsals.

      Page has been tipped to take over from Daniel Craig as the next James Bond, with his “Bridgerton” co-star Adjoa Andoh among those backing him to get the role, “I think the thing with Rege is, he is beautiful. Don’t tell him I said that. He is very smart, he is a fantastically funny, sharp actor, so he could take on any role you give him really. Annoyingly, he could. He would be a marvellous James Bond if they ever decided to go that way, no doubt at all.”

      Phoebe Bridgers Takes a Jab at Online Feud With David Crosby Over 'SNL' Guitar Smashing

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘I Know the End’ singer catches heat from the rock veteran and fellow rocker Peter Frampton for destroying her Danelectro Dano ’56 guitar at the end of her musical debut on ‘Saturday Night Live.’

      Feb 10, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Singer Phoebe Bridgers has become embroiled in a social media feud with rock veteran David Crosby after he criticized her for smashing a guitar during a weekend (February 6) TV performance.
      Bridgers destroyed her Danelectro Dano ’56 guitar after belting out the track “I Know the End” for her musical debut on U.S. comedy show “Saturday Night Live”, and the following day, Crosby was asked for his opinion on the staged drama via Twitter.
      “Pathetic,” he grumbled, prompting Bridgers to respond with her own terse comment, writing, “little b**ch”.

      Phoebe Bridgers and David Crosby got heated online over her guitar smashing performance.
      Crosby later explained his disapproval, after followers pointed out so many of his male contemporaries in the 1960s and ’70s, including Jimi Hendrix and Pete Townshend, had done the same during their heyday.
      “Guitars are for playing ..making music ….. not stupidly bashing them on a fake monitor for childish stage drama ….,” he posted. “I really do NOT give a flying F if others have done it before. It’s still… STUPID.”

      David Crosby explained why he disapproved Phoebe Bridgers’ act on ‘SNL’.
      Crosby refused to back down, continuing, “It’s what you do if you can’t write”, as Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea weighed in, querying, “Hendrix couldn’t write?”

      David Crosby responded to Flea’s tweet.
      Even fellow rock veteran Peter Frampton offered up his thoughts, admitting Bridgers’ performance art had bugged him.
      “It really p**sed my parents off when The Who first did this on Ready Steady Go tv in UK,” he tweeted. “I was devastated watching the gtrs (guitars) and drums being destroyed but found it strangely intoxicating at the same time. Now I’m my parents age it really p**sed me off watching Saturday (sic).”

      Peter Frampton weighed in on Phoebe Bridgers’ guitar smashing act.
      Crosby kept going, branding Bridgers’ instrument destruction “old, wrong, copy cat…”, adding, it “looks angry, destructive, wasteful, pointless.”

      David Crosby continued his attack on Phoebe Bridgers over the instrument destruction.

      Instead of letting the critiques get her down, Bridgers poked fun at the remarks, sharing a screenshot on Instagram and quipping, “got some really great feedback from my performance…!”

      Comedian Ted Alexandro Seeks $1M as He Accuses 'SNL' of Stealing Zillow Jokes From Him

      by

      https://www.tedalexandro.com/

      Making public his allegations regarding the jokes in a now-viral skit on Twitter, the comedian asks the hit NBC comedy show to ‘Venmo me the sum of 1 million dollars.’

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Saturday Night Live” introduced a new sketch about how sexy Zillow real estate listings were in its Saturday, February 5 episode. The skit quickly hit a nerve on social media, but the NBC show was accused of stealing the joke from a comedian.
      Comedian Ted Alexandro took to his Twitter account on Sunday to claim that the joke was from his material during his live performance at the Comedy Cellar in New York City. “Dear @SNL, since you stole my Zillow joke last night please Venmo me the sum of 1 million dollars,” so Ted wrote alongside a clip of him delivering the joke in his standup performance.
      “My full special Cut/Up is on youtube if you need more ideas,” he added. “You have until kickoff. Venmo: @Ted-Alexandro,” he continued in a follow-up tweet.

      Ted Alexandro accused ‘SNL’ of stealing jokes from him.

        See also…

      Not surprised by the allegations, one user responded, “When I was younger I was always so impressed that they wrote a whole comedy sketch show in a week every week and then I grew up to be a comedian and realized it’s easy when you piece together stolen tweets, jokes, podcast banter and already completed sketches. your joke is great!”
      Another user added, “While watching it last night, I literally said to myself, ‘This is funny. There’s no way that someone didn’t already make this joke. I bet tomorrow someone shows receipts.’ Not joking. Literally said that to myself.”
      Someone, however, tried to make Ted’s claims invalid by writing to him, “I usually support any comic who’s material is stolen, but I’m sorry Ted, I can only support your audience on this one. @SNL didn’t steal from you, they stole from the people who saw your Zillow bit. You didn’t write the material, you only caused audiences to think of it.”
      Echoing the sentiment, someone else argued, “Comedians are funny. And they have this power where if they think of something nobody else on the planet can ever have the same idea. It’s science.” To that, Ted replied, “I work at @ComedyCellarUSA where many SNL writers regularly perform. Stick to privacy apps.”
      Meanwhile, “SNL” has yet to respond to Ted’s accusations.

      'SNL': John Krasinski Kisses Pete Davidson While Reminiscing 'The Office' Character

      by

      NBC

      A new episode of the NBC show also tackles the the U.S. Capitol riot as a skit sees an FBI agent arresting the ‘Jack Ryan’ star and one of his friends for participating in the January 6 riot.

      Feb 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The first episode of “Saturday Night Live” aired on January 30 with John Krasinski as the host. During his monologue, the “A Quiet Place” actor/director shared that he felt honored to be able to host his favorite show.
      “I am so honored to be hosting the first show of 2021. I genuinely cannot tell you what a huge deal it is to be here right now,” the “Jack Ryan” star said on stage. “I have been watching this show since I was 8 years old… So to be here on this stage is nothing short of mind blowing to me.”
      The audience members, however, interrupted him as they flooded him with questions about “The Office” with cast member Alex Moffat asking him where Pam (Jenna Fischer) was. “I have a question. … So my question is you’re Jim from ‘The Office’?” he asked.

        See also…

      To that, John replied, “Nope, I’m actually John. Hello.” He continued saying, “Pam is a fictional character.” Despite his answer, Ego Nwodim told John to stop working out because “Jim is soft,” while Kenan Thompson said that he needed to see John kissing Pam “today.”
      That was when a fan of “The Office”, played by Pete Davidson, appeared and made a proposition. “I think they really need for someone to be Pam,” Pete told John, adding, “I think we’ve got to give them what they want. Jim, I think you have to kiss Pam.” The two then shared a kiss in front of the crowd who quickly cheered on them.
      Later in the episode, the cast members tackled the the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6 in a skit. The said skit saw John joining his five other pals at a friend’s home for a game night when an FBI agent visited them to arrest their friend Brad for participating in the riot. When asked why he did that, Brad told his friends, “I care about our nation and its Constitution, so I wiped jelly on a statue and put (Nancy) Pelosi’s phone down my pants.”
      “Are you Keith Reynolds?” the undercover FBI officer later asked John, who responded, “Yes, or QDaddy on Facebook.” He then left with the officer while carrying what appears to be the lectern of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in attempt to mimic Adam Christian Johnson a.k.a. “Podium Guy” from the riot.

      Later, Maya Rudolph’s Vice President-elect Kamala Harris joined him before introducing the new Biden, who entered the sketch with a crutch while his foot was in a cast. “Joe, you look different somehow,” Rudolph’s Harris told Moffat’s Biden. “Yep. I’m like Colonel Sanders. Every time you see me, I’m a different guy! There’s a good chance that by this time next year, I’m going to be Mario Lopez,” he responded.

      Dionne Warwick Deems 'Saturday Night Live' Spoof of Her 'a Hilarious Birthday Gift'

      by

      Instagram

      In a ‘Dionne Warwick Talk Show’ skit aired on December 12, Ego Nwodim impersonates the ‘Walk On By’ singer as she presses her guests about her social media feud with Wendy Williams.

      Dec 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Dionne Warwick was delighted over her “Saturday Night Live” parody. Upon learning that she got impersonated by Ego Nwodim in a “Dionne Warwick Talk Show” skit for the December 12 episode of the sketch comedy show, the “Walk On By” songstress was quick to share her thought, calling the spoof “a hilarious birthday gift.”
      The legendary singer, who turned 80 on Saturday, December 12, took to Twitter to offer her reaction. “This was a hilarious birthday gift. Thank you, @nbcsnl,” she gushed. “That young lady’s impression of me was very good and who knew @BrittaniWarrick had so many jobs?” In another tweet, she praised Ego by writing, “You did a wonderful job, baby. You are a star. @eggy_boom.”

      Dionne Warwick called her ‘Saturday Night Live’ parody ‘a hilarious birthday gift’.
      In the “Dionne Warwick Talk Show” skit, Ego’s Dionne sat down for some chats with a number of guests. They included Harry Styles who was played by Timothee Chalamet, Billie Eilish, portrayed by Melissa Villasenor, Timothee Chalamet parodied by Chloe Fineman, and Machine Gun Kelly who was impersonated by his pal Pete Davidson.

      When chatting with Timothee’s Harry, Ego’s Dionne pressed him about her social media feud with Wendy Williams. She asked, “Why is Wendy Williams being a b***h to me? She started beefing and now she’s acting like she can’t finish.” In response, the fake Harry replied, “I’m sorry, I don’t know who Wendy Williams is.” The host then quipped, “Yeah, I knew I liked your a**.”
      The “That’s What Friends Are For” hitmaker’s impersonator later jokingly asked Melissa’s “Billie Eyelash” to put a hex on the 56-year-old TV host. She stated, “Billie Eyelash, you’re spooky. Can you put a hex on Wendy Williams for me?”
      The “SNL” sketch came days after Dionne blasted Wendy on Twitter for making bad remarks about her on the latter’s show. “A friend alerted me that Wendy Williams was spending a lot of not nice time speaking on me. I tuned in to her show to catch the last few minutes of her speaking about me and as in the past she seems not to be able to speak without maliciously made comments,” she wrote the December 9 post.
      “My hope is my name will refrain from being spoken or thought of by her as this conversation was held a few years ago letting her know there was nor would be any need for her to say the name Dionne Warwick for any reason. I don’t believe one has to be mean to get noticed,” she continued. “There’s an old saying you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar! Try it Wendy you might like it!”

      Jason Bateman Takes a Jab at Past Chimpanzee Attack During 'Saturday Night Live' Return

      WENN/Adriana M. Barraza

      When delivering his monologue for the December 5 episode, the ‘Ozark’ actor looks back at the scary moment he almost lost his nose to the ape co-star 15 years ago.

      Dec 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jason Bateman relived a dangerous moment as he returned to host “Saturday Night Live” at the weekend, revealing he almost lost his nose to a chimpanzee.
      The “Ozark” star last fronted the U.S. TV sketch show 15 years ago and recalled a nasty moment with an ape co-star.
      During his monologue on Saturday, December 5, Jason explained the chimp tried to bite his face during the end credits – and showed the clip of the near-attack as the SNL regulars at the time watched in horror, but did nothing.

      “If that show did that sketch today, they would use a puppet or a kid in a fuzzy suit for safety, but back then, they used a real male adult chimpanzee. This was 2005 — things were loose,” he said. “Things were so loose that at the end of the show, the monkey was allowed to take a bow with us up here. We’re all hugging, we’re saying good night, the credits are rolling, and then the monkey tried to kill me.”
      “I’m a nice fella — but not the chimp. The chimp unhinges his jaw, he flashes the teeth, and he tries to bite my entire nose off. … They hate that humans have faces and they want to remove them,” Jason jokingly recalled, before sharing the footage from the 2005 episode.
      “I am smiling but inside I’m thinking a monkey just attacked me and nobody cares. They’re just hugging.”
      Bateman then joked that he and the chimp made up backstage before he had the creature destroyed.

      Morgan Wallen Pokes Fun at Getting Fired From 'SNL' for Violating COVID-19 Rules

      by

      NBC

      The country singer, who was previously kicked off of the show for breaking COVID-19 protocols by partying, appears in one sketch in which he makes fun of his own firing.

      Dec 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Morgan Wallen finally made his debut on “Saturday Night Live” in the December 5 episode of the hit NBC show. Prior to playing his set, the musician, who was previously kicked off of the show for breaking COVID-19 protocols by partying back in October, appeared in one sketch in which he made fun of his own firing.
      The set saw Morgan attending the said party in Alabama. He was later seen making out with a random woman, played by Chloe Fineman, whom he met at the bash. The fun, however, was cut short when a future version of himself, played by host Jason Bateman, appeared in front of him with a warning.
      “Once people hear about this party, you’re in big trouble, man,” Jason’s future Morgan said, adding, “You’re going to get kicked off ‘Saturday Night Live’.” Referring to “SNL” producer Lorne Michaels, Morgan ignored the warning and replied, “Lorne would never do that.” Still, the future Wallen tried to convince him, “But the execs at NBC, they’re going to force his hand.”
      Jason’s future Morgan, however, soon fell into the temptation by attractive women and alcohol. Later, Bowen Yang arrived, playing a Wallen from even farther in the future. But then Wallen was told that he shouldn’t worry too much. “They’re going to have you on two months later, I promise,” Jason’s future-Morgan revealed. “There aren’t many people willing to fly to New York right now.”

      In the episode, the former contestant of “The Voice” took the stage to make his musical debut by performing “7 Summers.” In addition, the “More Than My Hometown” crooner offered a performance of “Still Goin’ Down”.

      After being unplugged from the show, Morgan issued a public apology for his actions, admitting they were “pretty short-sighted,” and promised to do better in future. “I know that I got young kids that look up to me,” he said. “I need to be mindful of things (I do) – I’m not gonna let people control the way I live my life, (but) I do also want to be mindful,” the country singer said on “Bobbycast” podcast.
      “And honestly, having a son, obviously now I don’t know that I’d be proud to show him those videos,” he continued, referring to his three-month-old boy Indigo, with his ex-fiancee KT Smith. “I gotta think about some things a little bit differently.”
