This weekend’s Saturday Night Live will be most excellent for those of us who love alliteration: Robert De Niro is hosting while Diddy-Dirty Money plays the role of musical guest. As you can see in this exclusive promo photo, Diddy is quite happy about this news, while De Niro is busy trying on his best Pete Campbell bitchface for size. Grrrl, you won’t want to miss this show! Who else finds themselves pulling a David Letterman looking at this photo? De Niro, Diddy. Diddy, De Niro…

I feel like a moron, but when did Diddy change his name again? I missed that one completely.
I was about to say the same thing! Before I saw the picture I was like, “Who’s this guy that’s trying to co-opt the Diddy name?” Turns out it’s not a new guy . . .
Diddy did not change his name again. He formed a group called “Dirty Money”. The name Dirty Money turned out to be used already by other groups and song titles (both rap and non-rap). He then named it Diddy-Dirty Money to avoid confusion with those groups and song titles. The group consists of himself and two women who are also accomplished singers, songwriters and producers in their own right. Their debut album is released this month.
Oh. Interesting.
Agreed, thanks for the clarification!
Anne Hathaway raised the bar this t.v. season for hosting SNL. I am curious to see if Robert DeNiro can surpass her ??
First of all, the writers wrote the material that made Hathaway shine, they make or break the show, I would guess that the host is maybe 10% of the success.
I would like SNL to bring back Michaela Watkins and her “b$@ch pleeeeze” routine back
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE DENIRO. I think he is fantastic and actually have a crush on him (he was very delicious in the movie Heat but I digress)..BUT.the first time he hosted SNL he was..umm..NOT THAT GOOD. Very stiff very obvious he was reading off cue cards. I hope he has improved.
Anyone else think he looks a bit like Peter Falk [Columbo] in the photo?
