SNL

Kevin Brennan -- a former 'SNL' writer and comedian -- is making light of Matthew Perry's passing in a real ugly way ... which may speak to why he isn't more successful in showbiz.

Kevin -- who had a 2-year stint writing for the famed sketch comedy show way back when, and who was once a rising comic -- took to Twitter this weekend after news of Perry's death broke ... and posted an incredibly insensitive message mocking the late 'Friends' actor.

He wrote, "DROWNED IN A HOT TUB. HAHAHAHA" ... this while linking back to our story.

The tweet wasn't viewed by very many people -- KB only has about 5,900 followers or so anyway -- but it certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of folks who did see it ... with many people calling him out in the comments and bashing him for making a joke out of it.

While Kevin isn't nearly as relevant as he was in the '90s/early 2000s ... he still has a famous connection to mainstream Hollywood through his younger brother Neal Brennan -- from whom he's estranged. Neal, of course, is the co-creator/writer of 'Chappelle's Show.'

Neal and Kevin had a falling out years ago -- and the younger sibling went on to forge a solid path for himself. Neal's written for tons of shows, and even has his own Netflix comedy special now ... whereas Kevin hosts a pretty obscure podcast, and does gigs here and there.

It bears repeating ... Neal is NOT close to Kevin -- and based on interviews NB has done of late, where he was asked about his relationship with Kevin ... you can tell it's a sensitive topic. Based on this reaction to Perry alone, you'll see their personalities are very different.

So, of course, Kevin's crude remarks here are in no way a reflection of Neal -- who, as far as we can tell, minds his business and focuses on his work ... and who doesn't seem to have talked about Perry or 'Friends,' for that matter, very much at all publicly.

Kevin appears to still fancy himself standup-adjacent -- regularly commenting on mainstream comedians that Neal undoubtedly rubs shoulders with ... although, what he pulled here is far from a laughing matter. Neal doesn't seem to have reacted to his brother's post.

Megan Fox stuck her tongue out at SAG-AFTRA this weekend with her Halloween costume -- or so she thinks anyway ... 'cause her movie-inspired costume is actually pretty old.

The actress made sure to call out her union Saturday by throwing up shots of her getup this year -- Gogo Yubari from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" ... which came out way back in 2003. Naturally, alongside her was her BF Machine Gun Kelly dressed as Uma Thurman.

Megan apparently thought these costumes -- which are undoubtedly awesome -- were a big F-U to SAG ... evidenced in the fact that she tagged @sagaftra in her Instagram post.

Of course, she was calling out their strict rules that made the rounds a couple weeks ago -- which basically forbade union actors from rocking costumes from struck work ... all in an effort to show solidarity amid the ongoing strike, with negotiations actually underway right now.

In MF's mind ... this was a way to protest that, we suppose -- even though she kinda misses the mark here. Fact is, 'Kill Bill' is ancient at this point ... and no one's going around promoting it in 2023 and making Miramax money as a result (the studio that distributed it).

What SAG was getting at with their "guidance" was obviously aimed at big blockbusters that were released this year ... and which stars might be inclined to mimic for spooky season.

"Barbie" is the big one that immediately comes to mind ... but there are other hits this year that were on the table as potential go-to 'stumes. Interestingly enough, however, it doesn't appear that Hollywood, at large, bucked SAG's guidelines ... from what we can see, people weren't really dressed as characters from movies/TV shows that might make the guild frown.

The costumes that were on display all weekend amounted to a random mishmash of pop culture references and classic ghouls/monsters -- with celebs seemingly standing firm.

Now, that's not to say SAG's memo to their members didn't piss some people off ... it certainly did. Not only did Megan bristle -- but Ryan Reynolds and Mandy Moore did too.

Funny enough, this topic actually served as the premise for a sketch on 'SNL' last night ... with Sarah Sherman playing SAG union Prez Fran Drescher -- and pooh-poohing little kids in film-esque outfits. 😅

In any case, all's well that ends well ... here's hoping the strike is over sooner than later.

Bad Bunny se hizo cargo de "SNL" el sábado por la noche a lo grande, como anfitrión y como invitado musical, compartiendo escenario con otras grandes celebridades.

Su monólogo de apertura fue hilarante; Pedro Pascal sirvió de "traductor" para Bad Bunny, quien, fiel a su estilo, pronunció su monólogo en español. Bad Bunny ha dicho en repetidas ocasiones, que no le gusta complacer al público angloparlante, ya que piensa en español, come en español y canta en español.

Todo fue muy gracioso, Pedro le pidió a Bad Bunny que mostrara una foto vergonzosa de él, pero el rapero respondió: "No se pudo encontrar nada".

Bad Bunny took over 'SNL' Saturday night in a big way, hosting AND performing as the musical guest, with lots of celeb firepower behind him.

His opening monologue was hilarious ... Pedro Pascal served as a "translator" for BB, who, true to form, delivered his monologue en Español. Bad Bunny has said repeatedly, he does not pander to English audiences. He says he thinks in Spanish, eats in Spanish and sings in Spanish.

Pretty funny ... Pedro asked Bad Bunny to show an embarrassing pic of him but BB replied, "Nothing could be found."

Bad Bunny brought his GF, Kendall Jenner, to 'SNL' .... she didn't appear on the show, but they were super tight during the after-party.

BB, Kendall and the cast, along with guest stars Pedro Pascal, Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga, all hit up L'Avenue in NYC after the show.

Bad Bunny and Kendall were dressed casually... she was wearing a leather jacket and boots as they walked hand in hand into the bash.

Gaga's entrance was revelatory. She was also hand in hand with her ex, Michael Polansky. The 2 have been spotted together recently but it seems pretty clear ... they're giving it another try.

Bad Bunny trajo a su novia, Kendall Jenner, a 'SNL'. Ella no apareció en el show, pero estuvieron muy cariñosos durante el afterparty.

Bad Bunny, Kendall y el elenco; junto con las estrellas invitadas Pedro Pascal, Mick Jagger y Lady Gaga, todos fueron a Le'Avenue en Nueva York después del show.

Bad Bunny y Kendall iban vestidos de manera informal. Ella llevaba una chaqueta de cuero y botas mientras caminaban de la mano en la fiesta.

La entrada de Gaga fue reveladora. Ella también estaba de la mano con su ex, Michael Polansky. Los 2 han sido vistos juntos recientemente, pero parece bastante claro que están dándose otra oportunidad.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce han decidido eliminar cualquier duda de los escépticos, porque se mostraron muy enamorados el sábado por la noche y todo el mundo pudo verlo.

Es la primera vez que los hemos visto así en público, tomados de la mano mientras se dirigían a Nobu, antes de dirigirse a 30 Rock para aparecer en "Saturday Night Live".

La aparición de Taylor fue una gran sorpresa, ella solo pronunció 4 palabras, pero la gente en la multitud se volvió loca cuando presentó a Ice Spice.

Después del show, Travis y Taylor fueron a Catch Steak para el afterparty de "SNL".

Llevamos semanas diciendo que son pareja. De hecho, nuestras fuentes nos han dicho que han estado saliendo desde hace varios meses, pero esto pone un clavo en el ataúd a los teóricos de la conspiración, aunque probablemente no sea el caso.

El clima no era perfecto, pero eso no les impidió salir por la ciudad.

Taylor ha estado en el aire mucho esta semana, volar desde Nueva York a Kansas City para ver el juego de su novio, luego volar a Los Ángeles para el estreno de su nueva película, y luego volar de regreso a Nueva York con Travis para "SNL".

Pete Davidson delivered a truly heartfelt display of his feelings about the war in Israel during the cold open of the show, and he has a rare perspective that makes everything he said compelling.

Pete, at first he was a good person to talk about the inhumane Hamas terrorist attack and the ensuing war. As you know, Pete's dad, a NYC firefighter, died during 9/11 when Pete was only 7, so he knows what a terrorist attack can do on the surviving family, especially kids.

His heart breaks for all the death of innocent people, especially both Israeli and Palestinian children. He told the audience, no one deserves to suffer like this, especially kids.

He goes on to say his heart breaks for everyone whose lives were destroyed.

His opening monologue was raunchy. Pete says he and his sister have nothing in common, so they decided to bond by watching "Game of Thrones," and the whole incest thing came up which made things super uncomfortable! And then he gets even wilder.

He was super good ... especially in the cold open.

As we told you, both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made cameos on the show and hit the town hand-in-hand.

They chowed down at Nobu in NYC before the show.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have clearly decided to remove any doubt from the doubters, because they were all loved up Saturday night, showing the world what's up with their romance.

It's the first time we've seen them show PDA ... holding hands as they headed into Nobu before heading over to 30 Rock to appear on "Saturday Night Live."

Taylor's appearance was a big surprise ... she only uttered 4 words but people in the crowd went nuts when she introduced Ice Spice.

After the show, both Travis and Taylor hit up Catch Steak for the 'SNL' after-party. An eyewitness tells TMZ the 2 were kissing at Catch and Travis' arm was firmly planted around Taylor's waist. They stayed until 4 AM.

We've been telling you for weeks they're a couple. In fact, our sources have told us they've been dating for several months now, but this kinda puts a nail in the coffin of the conspiracy theorists, although that probably won't be the case.

The weather was crappy, but it didn't stop them from hitting the town.

Taylor's been in the air a lot this week ... flying from NYC to Kansas City to watch her BF's game, then flying to L.A. for the premiere of her new movie, and then flying back to NYC with Travis for "SNL."

Taylor Swift is so popular right now she can just say a few syllables -- and everyone goes completely nuts!!

Case in point ... Taylor made a brief -- and we mean very brief -- appearance on Saturday Night Live to introduce Ice Spice for her second performance of the evening, featuring the song, "Pretty Girl."

After a commercial break, Taylor popped up on screen and gave a four-word introduction to her music collaborator on the remix of her tune, "Karma." Taylor said, "Once Again, Ice Spice."

The crowd went absolutely crazy, screaming with applause!!!

Travis Kelce also made a cameo ... after Keenan Thompson joked that he was done with the NFL talking about Taylor's romance and wanted to hear from someone who actually talked football. Travis suddenly appeared and quipped, "Yes, me!."

And that was that. Taylor and her new beau, Travis Kelce, didn't stick around to hit the stage with the SNL cast at the end of the show, but host Pete Davidson thanked them for coming.

Of course, Taylor and Travis were in town making other big news, enjoying an intimate sushi dinner that turned into a media frenzy at Nobu in Manhattan Saturday night.

Check out video of the couple strolling hand-in-hand past the sushi bar as Travis acknowledged the chefs, one of whom waved hello to him.

An eyewitness tells us Taylor and Travis sat down next to each other and were cuddling throughout the meal.

Taylor Swift es tan popular en este momento que solo basta que diga unas pocas sílabas para que todo el mundo se vuelva completamente loco.

Taylor hizo una breve (muy breve) aparición en Saturday Night Live para presentar la segunda actuación de la noche de Ice Spice, cantando la canción, "Pretty Girl".

Después de una pausa comercial, Taylor apareció en pantalla y dio una introducción de cuatro palabras: "Una vez más, Ice Spice".

¡La multitud se volvió absolutamente loca!

Travis Kelce también hizo un cameo luego de que Keenan Thompson bromeara con que estaba harto de la NFL. Habló sobre el romance de Taylor y dijo que quería escuchar a alguien que realmente hable de fútbol. Travis apareció de repente y bromeó: "¡Sí, yo!".

Y eso fue todo. Taylor y su nuevo galán, Travis Kelce, no se quedaron para subir al escenario con el elenco de SNL al final del programa, pero el presentador Pete Davidson les agradeció su presencia.

Por supuesto, Taylor y Travis estaban en la ciudad haciendo noticia, disfrutando de una cena íntima de sushi que se convirtió en un frenesí mediático en Nobu en Manhattan el sábado por la noche.

Échale un vistazo al video de la pareja paseando de la mano por delante de la barra de sushi mientras Travis reconocía a los chefs, uno de los cuales le saludó con la mano.

Un testigo nos dice que Taylor y Travis se sentaron uno al lado del otro y se abrazaron durante toda la comida.

Pete Davidson estaba en las nubes cuando se le ocurrió un negocio potencialmente lucrativo, que implicaba comprar miles de cintas VHS con la esperanza de ganar dinero.

El exalumno de Saturday Night Live y próximo anfitrión compartió su teoría en el episodio del martes de "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", diciendo que se voló muchísimo una noche y compró entre 3.000 a 5.000 cintas selladas que todavía están ahí.

La audiencia de Jimmy se rio con Pete afirmando que todos sonaban como a su mamá, pero su jugada podría ser prometedora, pues señaló que en 2026 se cumplirán 20 años desde que se hizo el último VHS, y las modas retro casi siempre vuelven a ser rentables.

Eso no es todo. Pete dijo copias como las suyas están haciendo hasta $30k últimamente, y una rara edición de "Rocky", en VHS, anotó $27.500 a principios de este año en una subasta, por lo que si la demanda sube, el comediante estará en una posición privilegiada.

Aparte del monopolio de Pete sobre los VHS, también está programado su participación para el estreno de la temporada 49 de "Saturday Night Live" este fin de semana. Se trata del primer programa de vuelta desde que se acabó la huelga de guionistas.

Pete se reunió con sus amigos de 'SNL' para cenar el martes por la noche antes del show del sábado. Estuvo comiendo con Kenan Thompson, Colin Jost, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Punkie Johnson e incluso el jefe, Lorne Michaels.

Pete Davidson was in a smoky haze when he came to a potentially lucrative discovery ... which is why he bought up thousands of VHS tapes in the hopes of turning a profit.

The 'SNL' alum and upcoming host shared his side hustle theory on Tuesday's episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" ... saying he got pretty high one night and, according to him, bought the 3,000 to 5,000 sealed tapes that still exist.

Jimmy's audience had a laugh, with Pete claiming they all sounded like his mom, but his stoned move might be promising ... pointing out 2026 will mark 20 years since the last VHS was made -- and retro fads almost always make good cash.

That's not all -- Pete says sealed copies like his are making up to $30k EACH lately, and a rare edition of a "Rocky" VHS scored $27,500 earlier this year at auction ... so the comedian's in a pretty sweet spot if the demand keeps goin' up.

Apart from Pete's VHS monopoly, he's also slated to host the season 49 premiere of "Saturday Night Live" this weekend -- the first show back since the writer's strike pulled the plug on the end of last season when he was originally supposed to host.

Pete reunited with his 'SNL' pals for dinner Tuesday night ahead of Saturday's show ... dining with Kenan Thompson, Colin Jost, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Punkie Johnson, and even head honcho, Lorne Michaels.

PETA is cashin' in on Pete Davidson's anger -- the organization is selling a Halloween costume based on the infamously unhinged voice mail Pete left PETA during their feud over a puppy.

We've learned PETA's limited-edition costume comes with a paper mask of Pete's face, an "I Should Have Adopted" hoodie and a hat with a censored cuss word plastered on it -- referring to his profanity-laced telephone rant after the org called him out for buying a pet store puppy, instead of one from a shelter.

It also comes with a plush dog wearing a "Shelter Dogs Rule" bandana. The whole look is going for $99.99 ... and all proceeds are going toward spay and neuter surgeries to help combat the overpopulation of homeless dogs.

According to PETA, over 70 million dogs and cats are homeless in the U.S. ... and breeders contribute to the crisis by denying animals in shelters a chance at finding a loving home.

PETA President Ingrid Newkirk says, "It’s too late for Pete to undo his puppy purchase or that voice mail, but it’s never too late to save a dog’s life by choosing adoption and shunning pet shops and other dog breeders." She hopes Pete will see the joke in having folks dress up like him ... especially since it's for a good cause.

TMZ broke the story, Pete dialed up PETA in June after the org publicly shamed the comedian for buying the new pup at a NYC pet store. In his furious defense, Pete said he's allergic to dogs and, therefore, needed a hypoallergenic pooch like the cavapoo he got.

He also said the puppy was a gift for his mother who'd been mourning the recent death of her dog.

All of that with lots of colorful language sprinkled in, too -- which you can now mock, or celebrate, come Halloween.

Pete Davidson and Colin Jost seemingly bought a ferry together as a joke -- but, now one of those new owners says turning a profit on the damn thing is of the utmost importance.

The 'SNL' alum dished about the $280k Staten Island boat buy with Seth Meyers on a recent podcast episode -- in which he goes into detail about what led up to him partnering with Colin on this in the first place ... and where things stand now more than a year after.

Take a listen for yourself ... Pete acknowledges what he's said about going in on this ferry in the first place -- namely, that he and CJ were both stoned out of their minds when they decided to do it.

Before long, the purchase became reality ... and Pete says Colin called him up one day to talk business -- and to collect on his end of the bargain. PD says he was sent a link to wire over a deposit ... and suddenly, he was straddled with a massive ferry with no real plan.

Not to worry, though ... Pete and Colin have apparently devised a business model for their ferry that they're hoping to manifest -- including turning it into a one-stop shop entertainment hub ... complete with a concert venue, a movie theater, a restaurant and hotel rooms too.

Pete even says he and Colin have commissioned computer-generated mockups of all this ... and says it's well underway, although it's still years in the making. Like, 5 years specifically.

When Seth Meyers marvels at how well thought out their ferry future is, Pete quips -- "Yeah, we have to cause we’re in the hole." To what extent, exactly, is unclear ... but it seems Pete and co. certainly wanna get a return on investment -- because as he says, "Now I'm like stuck with a f****ing boat."

Pete Davidson has officially been charged with reckless driving after smashing his car into a Beverly Hills home earlier this year.

The 'SNL' alum was charged with one count of reckless driving Friday by the L.A. County District Attorney's Office, about 3 months after the crash.

TMZ broke the story, law enforcement sources told us Pete and his gf Chase Sui Wonders were involved in the crash March 4 around 11 PM. Pete was behind the wheel of a Mercedes, and allegedly driving fast through a residential street when he lost control and smacked into the home.

It's unclear how Pete lost control, but sources familiar said he hopped the curb and took out a fire hydrant before hitting the side of the house ... thankfully, no one was hurt.

At the time, cops didn't believe drugs or alcohol played a factor in the crash. Pete was not arrested, either.

We spoke to the homeowner of the property Pete hit who told us his 16-year-old daughter was "a bit" traumatized after the close call. He did mention he's got no beef with Pete, though -- and had no intention to slap a lawsuit on the comedian.

A spokesperson for the DA's office tells us, "Luckily, no one was seriously injured as a result of this collision. We know that reckless driving can have devastating consequences. In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels seen in 20 years. This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. As a result, it's crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable."

As for possible punishment -- reckless can carry a sentence of up to 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine and a knock on your driver's license.
