Mariska Hargitay Confesses "Secret" Broadway Dream
It's safe to say Mariska Hargitay doesn't get to do much singing and dancing on Law & Order: SVU.
But could the Emmy winner, who recently strutted her stuff in NBC's star-studded Super Bowl commercial, be headed for a gig on Broadway?
It turns out...
Channing Tatum Rips Off His Shirt, Takes On Matthew McConaughey on Saturday Night Live
It really wouldn't have been proper for Channing Tatum to host Saturday Night Live and not take off his shirt, right?
The Vow star, who hosted the late-night laugher for the first time, did just that, starting the show by ripping off his button-down and basically appearing half-naked throughout the majority of the skits he was in for the rest of the show.
And we have to admit, that was not a bad thing.
Saturday Night Live Casualty: Paul Brittain, aka "Sex" Ed Vincent, Exits
Saturday Night Live is down a cast member.
A show insider has confirmed to E! News that Paul Brittain has left SNL after a one-year stint as a featured player and will not be appearing on this weekend's episode hosted by Channing Tatum.
Guess this means no more "Sex" Ed.
Morning Mail! Stop Hating on Lana Del Rey!
Dear Ted:
People are really bashing Lana Del Rey for her Saturday Night Live debut. It's kinda insane! I started listening to her because Team Truth recommended her and absolutely love her music. And I think she's gorgeous too. Why is everyone being so mean?

Dear Rey of Light:
Tough Q, doll. People love hating on the Internet—Lana's not the first and she won't be the last. That said, there is a surprising amount of vitriol peeps are spitting her way over this SNL ordeal. And hey, it's not like she was lip-syncing or anything actually controversial like that. She'll move on fine from it. She really is a talent.
Dear Ted:
So I've been catching up on Glee and can't help but notice Naya Rivera has practically taken over the show. You mentioned that she and Lea Michele are like-minded when it comes to their careers. Will that affect the friendship they have supposedly struck up? I can't imagine Lea being happy about Naya getting so much screen time...

Lana Del Rey and Five More Not-Ready for Saturday Night Live Players?
Is anyone ever really ready for Saturday Night Live?
According to Brian Williams, "Video Games" singer Lana Del Rey wasn't.
If it's any comfort for Del Rey, she's got company. Here are other SNL performers who, no matter how accomplished, looked green when the cameras went on:
Weekend Wrap-Up: The Descendants, The Artist Rock Golden Globes; Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony Back Together!
What a weekend!
The 2012 Golden Globes went down Sunday night after a weekend filled with pre-Globes bashes. But, just in case you missed Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's awkward encounter...or Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's awkward encounter...or the other big weekend headlines, don't worry.
We've got all that and more right here...
Daniel Radcliffe Smooches a Few Hobos, Takes on a Futuristic Harry Potter on Saturday Night Live
Fresh off his Broadway stint in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Daniel Radcliffe hit the Saturday Night Live stage to host the late night laugher for the first time.
"It is so great to be here hosting Saturday Night Live," the Harry Potter star said. "When I agreed to host SNL one of the biggest questions I had was how much should we do with Harry Potter, taking into account that over the years there have been multiple Harry Potter sketches on the show," Radcliffe said. "So I said if at all possible, let's not do one. No one wants to see Dumbledore working at Harry Pottery Barn (Dumbledore walks on stage, then walks off in disappointment). And if we can, let's not do Harry Pothead (Harry Pothead walks out, and walks away with a shrug)."
So, did Radcliffe join the likes of Rachel Dratch and Hugh Jackman and play himself in a Harry Potter sketch?
Charles Barkley Imitates Shaquille O'Neal, Dresses in Drag on Saturday Night Live
Charles Barkley has never claimed to be an actor, but the former NBA baller took a break from his TNT gig to host Saturday Night Live for the third time (and act in a few skits while he was at it).
"It's great to be hosting Saturday Night Live again," Barkley said in his monologue. "This is my third trip hosting Saturday Night Live. I bet none of ya'll thought I'd do it three times, but that's okay, I did. I bet Scottie Pippen, and now he owes me $75,000."
Ex-Saturday Night Live Scribe Joe Bodolai Dead in Apparent Suicide
It's a holiday tragedy.
Joe Bodolai, a veteran comedy writer-producer who penned skits for Saturday Night Live and Kids in the Hall and cowrote the first draft of 1992's hit movie Wayne's World, has been found dead in an apparent suicide. He was 63.
Tina Fey, Amy Poehler & Tracy Morgan Join Jimmy Fallon on a Cameo-Crazy Saturday Night Live
Ah, time to enjoy some Saturday Night Live classics.
Jimmy Fallon returned to his old stomping grounds, bringing on the holiday cheer during the show's Christmas-themed episode and making the transition from former castmember to first-time SNL host.
And Fallon's return to the late night laugher wouldn't have been complete without a few other SNL alums along for the ride, including the likes of Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch and Amy Poehler.
