Rihanna Missed Final Rehearsal For Saturday Night Live

Rihanna hit the stage to perform her singles Talk That Talk and Where Have You Been last night on Saturday Night Live.

Though her voice seemed to be spot on, producers weren’t too pleased RiRi was a no-show for her final rehearsal beforehand.

The songstress decided to call in sick for her practice session (which is done in front of a live audience), and head honcho Lorne Michaels was reportedly angry she bailed last minute.

When Rihanna finally did arrive, insiders say she didn’t appear sick at all.

Still, her rep tells TMZ she “needed to save her voice for the live show”.

Kim Kardashian Loves Kanye’s New Song

Kim Kardashian told the Today show this morning that she’s a fan of Kanye West’s new song, Theraflu.

In it, the rapper rips into Kim’s ex-husband, Kris Humphries.

He says:

“And I admit I fell in love with Kim … ‘Round the same time she fell in love with him … That’s cool, babygirl, do your thing … Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team.”

Kanye, of course, is referring to his good friend Jay Z – who owns the team Humphries plays for, the New Jersey Nets.

In her interview with Ann Curry, Kim was asked about her rumored new relationship with Kanye. She replied:

“I completely respect and understand you have to ask these questions.”

Sticking to the “we’ve been friends for years” story, Kim explained she’s excited for what the future holds for them.

Miley Cyrus Has A Relaxing Day In LA

Miley Cyrus was spotted leaving Winsor Pilates with a smoothie on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon.
 
Meanwhile, the singer-turned-actress was fooled by Justin Bieber in last nights season premiere of Punk’D.
 
During the episode, Miley thought she was pulling a prank on Justin…but he decided to turn the tables and ultimately fool her!
 
Miley was tricked to believe she hired two actors to heckle Justin after he parked his car where they were skating. Once the guys started talking smack to the teenage heart throb, he went into a rage, throwing fake punches and kicking them in their stomachs.
 
A freaked out Miley went into panic mode before Bieber came out laughing and said:
“You can’t punk me. That was all fake!”
The new version of Punk’d will feature a guest celebrity host each week.
 
We like the new concept!

Lindsay Talks SNL And Debbie Downer With Jimmy

Lindsay Lohan appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon yesterday to talk about her upcoming appearance on Saturday Night Live.

The actress first commented how she landed the hosting gig, admitting she’s the one who kept calling head honcho Lorne Michaels:

“I kept asking him. I wasn’t giving up.”

After running into Michaels in Los Angeles, Lindsay finally got her shot. She told Fallon:

“You know Lorne, he’s very straight to the point. He was like, ‘What about March 3?’, I’m like, ‘I’m free!’”

This will be Lindsay’s fourth time on the popular late night show. One of her most memorable moments, of course, was performing in the first ever “Debbie Downer” skit…alongside Jimmy!

In case you don’t remember, castmembers had trouble keeping their composure for the skit…which was set in Disneyland during a family outing.

Too funny.

Check out the clip from Lohan’s apperance, below!

Charlie Sheen Apologizes To Ashton Kutcher

Charlie Sheen recently criticized Ashton Kutcher for his performance on Two and a Half Men, saying he was tired of “pretending Ashton doesn’t suck”.

Now, Sheen is calling the comments disrespectful.

In an open letter to TMZ, he writes:

“Dear Ashton, My bad. I was disrespectful to a man doing his best. I got excited and I threw you into the crossfire, but the rest of my statement I stand behind. You however, deserve better. Safety in your travels good sir. CS”

Ashton stepped in on Two and a Half Men last year after Charlie’s very public meltdown.

Is anyone still a fan of the show? How do you think Ashton is holding up?
