No Time For Love, Dr. Jones!! Shia LaBeouf Hosts SNL!!

Published at:  Apr 14, 2007 5:01:17 AM CDT

I am – Hercules!!


Will they do a sketch about LaBeouf constantly insisting to the press that his casting in “Indiana Jones IV” is purely a rumor?

Look! Press release!

Hot Up-And-Coming Star Shia LaBeouf hosts April 14 with musical guest Avril Lavigne

Award-Winning Actress Scarlett Johansson Returns April 21 with musical guest Bjork

NEW YORK, April 11, 2007 – "Saturday Night Live" welcomes two of Hollywood's hottest young stars and two of the biggest names in pop music for its April shows.

On April 14, Emmy winner Shia LaBeouf makes his SNL debut. One of the most sought-after young actors working today, LaBeouf will star in the upcoming thriller "Disturbia" and the eagerly anticipated summer movie "Transformers." LeBeouf was recently seen in the indie drama "A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints" and the critically praised "Bobby." Other credits include "The Greatest Game Ever Played," "Constantine," "I, Robot" and "Charlie's Angels II: Full Throttle." LeBoeuf was also star of the "Project Greenlight" production "The Battle of Shaker Heights." He
made his film debut in the hit family film "Holes." He's also known to millions from his earlier, Daytime Emmy winning title role in Disney Channel's series "Even Stevens."

Returning to "SNL" for her third appearance is multi-platinum musical guest Avril Lavigne. The Grammy nominee and seven-time Juno Award-winner will perform songs from her eagerly awaited third album "The Best Damn Thing." Its debut single "Girlfriend" is already a hit, driven by digital sales, the track debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 (her highest debut yet). "The Best Damn Thing" is the pop-punk dynamo's follow-up to her triple-platinum moodier record "Under My Skin" and her 16 million-selling, youth-culture defining 2002 debut record "Let Go."

The following Saturday, April 21 finds screen siren Scarlett Johansson returning to Studio 8H. With more than a decade of work under her belt, the four-time Golden Globe nominee and BAFTA winner, Johansson has built a solid reputation as one of Hollywood's most talented young actresses, as seen in the critically acclaimed "Lost In Translation" opposite Bill Murray (which won her a Best Actress prize at the Venice Film Festival). Johansson has recently been seen in Woody Allen's "Scoop," "The Black Dahlia" and "The Prestige." Other credits include Allen's "Match Point," "The Island," "Girl with a Pearl Earring," "In Good Company," "The Man Who Wasn't There," "Ghost World" and her debut in "The Horse Whisperer." She'll next be seen in the screen adaptation of the popular book "The Nanny Diaries."

Joining Johansson on the show is cutting edge musician Bjork. Hailing from Iceland, Bjork has established herself as one of the most innovative and unique figures in alternative music. This is her second appearance on 'SNL,' performing selections from her soon-to-be released sixth CD "Volta." The critically acclaimed performer once again branches out with an international group of musicians supporting her ranging from critically acclaimed vocalist Antony (of Antony and the Johnsons), African collective Konono No 1 and the ubiquitous and successful Timbaland (who contributed the beats to the record's debut single "Earth Invaders."). "Volta" is a decidedly more upbeat record after her previous more serious pieces – including her Oscar nominated work in the film "Dancer in the Dark."

“Saturday Night Live” is from SNL Studios in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels. Steve Higgins produces. Marci Klein and Mike Shoemaker are producers. Head writers are Seth Meyers, Paula Pell and Andrew Steele. Don Roy King directs.…

    Talent will always rise to the top

    by emeraldboy

    And you will always have people who are bitter and jealous about those who have talent for something. some get over it and accept thier limitations and move one. Others go on to the net and snipe more and more or some project all this on their kids. The best part of x-factor are the auditions, where you see the talentless singers given thier marching order. The Weinsteins copped on to this and set up project green light with damon and affleck and the two films that won made very little impact with the public. Shia has used tv as a springboard for his career, first with even stevens and then Project greenlight. Let me explode one thing. Some people on this are ignorant about the way hollywood works. All stars are made. All of them. People will use every opportunity to get to the top and stay there. It was the same in the beginning as it is today. Except today is more public.

    Oh, so that's who Cheese La Beef is...

    by napoleon park

    in France she's a Cheese La Beef Royale. *** whenever I hear the phrase "up and coming star" I think of Peter North. (see, it's funny because it's a double entendre for having an erection and ejaculating, and his name is a double entendre for penis pointing upwards, and when straight guys talk about penis-centric smut it induces nervous laughter. That's how good it is, I can kill the joke by over-explaining it and it still works) *** yes, I knew Bjork is from Iceland - who didn't? Been a fan since MTV 120 Minutes used to show videos by her band The Sugarcubes back when she was a cute perky teenager. (Wonder what teen Bjork looked like? Google Image Search (safe search disabled) for Ariel Rebel. (Oops, two pr0n references in one post, I'm getting naughty in my elderly impotence. How sad for me.)

    by ijustlikemovies

    I was flipping through channels during the the second wind (after it kind of flopped in the first week) of the Grindhouse marketing campaign. Kurt Russel and Shia LeDouche were on Leno. Shia was being interviewed, and telling some stupid story/joke about food he doesn't like. Leno turns to Russel, and asks him what food he doesn't like. Kurt laughed and said, "I'll eat anything." There you go, 3 talkback jokes rolled into one true story. Apologies for not getting this up when it was still fresh. I don't watch Leno either, the guests were revealed before I could flip away, so I stayed.

    It's called "PR" in Hollywood. It was called "propaganda" in the Soviet Union. It's the same, but the Soviet version was more honest. It makes morons believe a dick is a statesman and Shia la Boof is a star.

Perhaps they should have a sketch of Imus out in the street, broke, drinking again and apologizing to every African American that wanders by. Sharpton should appear on the scene with a new big afro hair do and throw him a buck. Sharpton, of course, is on his way to demand the resignation of the CEO of Home Depot because he heard their radio commercial which was promoting cheap hos(e).

    To take me bad to Spielberg's heyday. I'm willing to give this kid a shot if he doesn't play cheap. Also, thats wicked about bjork being on the show next week, she's crazier than a shithouse rat. Purportedly, on the set of dancer in the dark, she spit at Lars Von Treier and told him "I hate you" every day. And then she leaves for three days not telling anyone. And yet she makes this gorgeous music. Good stuff.

    you get noticed by the berg. same thing happened to tom cruise. Spielberg saw risky business and opened every door for him that he could. rather than every door being closed in his face. you dont say no to the berg. Now every door has been opened to Shia Le Beouf. Lebeouf has that bland moral Disney thing going on and he is perfect for bush's pro family Pro christian america. He was perfect for the Walden Media garbage holes. That was such a boring movie. He is inoffensive.

    by neonic

    Makes you wonder... the things they take some time to produce (Digital Shorts) are pretty decent and the live stuff, not so much. Maybe it's time to make it "Saturday Night"

    Tonight has been pretty decent so far though.

    I like him as an actor, but I hate that they had him say this'll be the best show ever. come on. an obvious setup for failure there. I always thought he'd bring something good to SNL if he ever hosted it. But I guess you need a good skit/dialogue to make that work.

    by gqtaste

    actors were so successful. Why is it so rare to see men actors that aren't taller than 5'8? Take for example poor, ole, Nicole Kidman. Every man she gets paired w/ are midgets: Cruise, Clooney, Keaton, Kilmar, Sean Penn, Ewan McGregor, Daniel Craig, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew Broderick, Ben Chaplin.

    gauging an actor on an SNL appearance

    by bizarrojerry

    It's just not fair. You gotta have some good material to be judged on. I think he did all right, actually. This was a very bland show, though. Not terrible, but not great. Was that digital short supposed to be referencing some movie or tv show I don't recognize? Oh, and yes, a guy in a Lincoln costume backstage has been quiet running gag on this show for many years, as far as I can tell.

Turns out she used to be a back-up singer. *** Trying to end this by quoting that one hilarious line... and... nope, I got nothing.

    Here is something You didnt know

    by emeraldboy

    It was an Irish theatre director who discovered Tom Hanks. I am not making that up. Vincent dowling who now runs the guthrie theatre in the US where he based for 25 years. Was a casting a play, the name of which escapes me in his beloved guthrie theatre, which he has rebuilt since taking it over in the early eighties, He had gone through a lot of male leads all of whom he had rejected and a young man got up on stage and blew dowling away. Aksed many years later, was dowling suprised at Hanks success, he said no, he was just suprised, that hanks hadnt done more stage. Vincent dowling believed he could have a great career as a stage actor.

    what's to get, Mr. Twigforate?

    by napoleon park

    Back in the '80s during the thick vinyl iron-on-transfer era of imprinted t-shirts there was a popular design that showed a turn-of-the-century style handlebar moustache and the legend "moustache rides, five cents". See the joke was that the wearer was offering to perform cunnilingus for money. The 'free moustache rides' sketch was a simple variant on this but without the financial renumeration. "Sofa King" sounds like they're saying "So fucking..." and in the digital short, every time someone fired a gun the song started over. The girl behind Avril had large breasts, a tight jersey and a too small bra and on Update Din Imus was depicted as being bitter and angry over his firing. See, it's not that hard to "get" this show, I think the kids understood it.

    Worst Musical Performance in SNL History

    by behemoth

    Avril has actually regressed, which is usually what these idiot industry concoctions try NOT to do. Her music has actually become MORE throwaway and forgettable.
    But the performances were just HORRIBLE. She didn't even move. Just stood there and sang mediocrely at best, with that hideous band of session musicians paid to look like "punks" AND to act like they are actually enjoying what they're doing.
    Playing in Avril Lavigne's touring band and acting like a happy punk: now that's a tougher job than knocking a swift one off the wrist down on the Old Main Drag for a fiver at a time.
    What a skank. Will someone please spank her? And film said spanking? And make said film of said spanking available for immediate download? And preferably let it be a chick doing the spanking? Then I will pay attention and unshun her for the brief moment it will take to expulse my loveseed into the ether.
