Former Saturday Night Live cast member Darrell Hammond reveals dirty secrets about his past in his new memoir God If You’re Not Up There, I’m F–ked.

Hammond, who spent more time on the sketch show than any other cast member, writes about his alcohol and crack addictions, as well as cutting himself.

He writes:

“I kept a pint of Remy in my desk at work. The drinking calmed my nerves and quieted the disturbing images that sprang into my head … when drinking didn’t work, I cut myself.”

Hammond went on to detail his drug addictions. In 2002, he says he was addicted to cocaine. But in 2009, during his 14th and final season on the show, he got the idea to try harder drugs. “I had the brilliant idea I should try crack.” He ended up in rehab the same year.

In 2010, he announced he was addicted to vicodin while performing at a comedy club Caroline’s in New York City. He entered treatment again following the incident.

Hammond has now beat his addiction to drugs and is sure to sell a lot of books.

On the SNL stage, GaGa appeared with a fake baby bump to give birth to glitter in another out of this world performance to attempt to shock the audience. We can expect anything and everything from GaGa, so the fake birth was absolutely appropriate for the venue.

Justin Timberlake was guest host of the glorious Saturday Night Live season finale with musical guest Lady GaGa on Saturday (May 21)- watch videos below. The singer turned actor did a pretty good job – he had the opportunity to sing a little song about not singing, play with Lady GaGa and reunite with Andy Samberg for a digital short sketch.

Justin, who performed the double-duty as host and musical guest in the past, promised to not sing, which eventually happened during his opening monologue. Then he went against the GaGa in a celebrity edition of “What’s That Name?” to win money for their charities of choice. GaGa won, of course!

The dynamic duo, Justin and GaGa, was the big highlight of the show, which reached the climax in a “threesome” with Andy Samberg in the digital short “3-Way”. This was probably one of the most memorable SNL season finales ever.

The boys of Lonely Island are back with another hilarious hit and this time they’ve teamed up with 90′s balladeer and former Dancing with the Stars contestant, Michael Bolton.

The “Jack Sparrow” song, which premiered on the Mother’s Day episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Tina Fey, features a standard Lonely Island club beat, mixed with Bolton’s mesmerizing vocals.  The results?  Perfection.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bolton discusses his first thoughts on working with Andy Samberg and his crew,

The Lonely Island guys reached out to my management and said they wanted to do this. I said, “I love those guys. But what are they thinking?” I was automatically scanning through my memory banks of the most wicked language and visuals. You want to work with guys like this. But at the same time I get invitations to perform at the Vatican!

They love to get you where you just can’t believe what you’re looking at and then hit you with the funny. I’ve been all about humor and all about laughing since I was a kid. That’s just who I am. I’ve been kicked out of every class. Andy and I were talking about that. Neither one of us had our Bar Mitzvah because we couldn’t take Hebrew school seriously.

I did not know this about you Mr. Bolton, and now that I do – I respect you.

Lonely Island-er, Akiva Schaffer discusses his long-time love affair with Bolton in an interview with AOL,

He has a tan. Not like a weird one, but one that makes him seem very worldly, like he’s seen the sun from a lot of different angles from all over the globe and at different levels from the equator or whatnot that gives him a well-rounded, sunny look — he’s the man.

In the past, Lonley Island has teamed up with artists such as T-Payne for “I’m on a Boat“, Akon for “I Just had S*x” and Justin Timberlake for their breakout hit, “D*ick in a Box“.

The Lonely Island’s new album “Turtleneck and Chain” is available in stores now.

Supermom, Tina Fey will be spending her Mother’s Day like millions of other moms around the country: eating a delicious home-cooked breakfast in bed and enjoying a nice, long Real Housewives of New York marathon on TV – with her family of course.

The five-months-pregnant Fey, joked with The Today Show that she recently allowed five-year-old daughter Alice, to watch an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with her and was forced to explain to her that,

This is a show about women who think they are princesses, but they’re not!  And look!  They put goo in their face!

Fey, who hosted last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live, also joked that because she’s allowed her daughter to watch The Real Housewives, when Alice plays with her Barbie Dolls, she insists that the “most romantic part of the body is the butt”.

I mean – she’s right, isn’t she?

In an interview with Time, comedienne Kristen Wiig revealed that she’ll be retiring two of her most famous characters from Saturday Night Live: Gilly and Penelope.

‘SNL’ Star Jason Sudeikis Hosting MTV Movie Awards

The actress, who will be seen in the upcoming big screen comedy Bridesmaids, said that it was her decision to put the characters to rest, and she won’t be bring the one-upper Penelope or troublemaker Gilly back–even at the request of her boss, executive producer Lorne Michaels.

‘The Hangover’ Star Ed Helms & Paul Simon To Appear On ‘SNL’

In the article, Michaels praised Wiig, comparing her to some of the show’s greatest performers:

“There are two people who arrived fully formed — her and Dana Carvey — where you saw what they did in their audition and you put it on the air. She has that thing that Phil Hartman and Dan Aykroyd had, which is absolute precision, but also this lightness that isn’t what they had.”

He also added that she’s one of the ”top three or four” performers in the show’s history.

Wiig is my favorite on the show. I’m a HUGE fan. I hate to see these characters go, but we all know she’ll pull something else crazy out. Just don’t get rid of the Target lady!

Maybe he’ll bring some flavor because, let’s face it, these awards usually SUCK.
