For the second week in a row, "Saturday Night Live" has let one of the seven words you can't say on television slide right on past the censors.
Lady Gaga's performance was the s**t -- but she also belted out the "profane" four-letter word during the show, and it wasn't bleeped on the East Coast.
But here's the catch -- neither SNL nor NBC will have to pay a single cent to the FCC for the S-bomb because it happened during a designated "safe harbor" time period.
According to the FCC website, "Indecent or profane speech that is broadcast between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. is not actionable."
Last week, newcomer Jenny Slate dropped the frickin' f-bomb.
Bill Clinton -- famous for his love of fast food ... and there's a Phil Hartman "SNL" skit to prove it. But ever since his heart bypass surgery in 2004, eating the deep fried stuff would just be asking for trouble.
So yesterday in D.C., with the Golden Arches of McDonald's looming behind him as he talked basketball, think he really wanted to talk double teams ... or double cheeseburgers?
"SNL" alum Rachel Dratch was really proud of her car last night -- which she so lovingly referred to as her "red s**tmobile" "crapmobile" and "crappy rental."
If the ToyotaYaris needs a spokesperson, Rachel is definitely their gal.
It's sick, it's twisted and flat-out wrong -- but this Mother's Day skit by Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg from last night's "SNL" is just too funny not to watch.
Rachel Dratch on SNL: "Once you leave, you can never go back." Pap: "...But Tina Fey went back...?" Rachel: (pause .... smile) "... Why ya gotta do this to me right now?!"
Either "SNL" came back from the writer's strike completely color blind or extremely one-sided. The show debuted their new Barack Obama character, which as a surprise to many -- is played by someone who isn't African-American.
A columnist at the ChicagoTribune.com has called out SNL on their choice to have Fred Armisen, who is Hispanic and Asian, portray Obama -- saying the show may be marginalizing African-American performers.
Perhaps "SNL" had their hands tied, because Kenan Thompson, the only African-American male on the cast, isn't exactly in the same weight class as Barack. Seriously, he played "Fat Albert."
As if four Grammy awards and Jessica Biel weren't enough, Justin Timberlake might add another trophy to his case -- an Emmy!
The SexyBacker's hilarious SNL video, "Dick in a Box," has been nominated in the category of Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. Live performance, anyone?
Emmys -- Dick in a box Tonys -- Dick in a box Oscars -- Dick in a box Every single awards show a dick in a box!
Justin Timberlake revived his hit video from SNL by hitting the stage in NYC ... with his d**k in a box!
The superstar singer had fans on their feet last night at Madison Square Garden when he surprised them by appearing in full costume (box included) and reenacting the "D**k in a Box" song with Andy Samberg.
That's one present Cameron is going to miss next Christmas.
Not only has former SNL funnyman Chris Kattan gotten engaged to a woman, but his fiancee is a hot model!
Chris and his soon-to-be bride, Sunshine Tutt, were caught having lunch in West Hollywood over the weekend.
Sunshine was thumbing through a bridal magazine while Chris chowed down. Although they're definitely not your average Hollywood couple, you can never tell what's gonna work in Tinseltown.
TMZ has learned that comedian Tracy Morgan was arrested last month for drunk driving and today in court his lawyer made it clear -- her client is not going down without a fight.
The former 'Saturday Night Live' star was arrested on Dec. 2 in Hollywood. We're told cops claim he was speeding, but we've learned Blair Berk, Morgan's formidable defense lawyer, will argue that her client had broken no traffic laws and she can prove it.
TMZ asked Berk if she believes her client is the victim of racial profiling. Her response, "I don't discuss pending court cases."
Morgan, who created memorable characters on 'SNL' including Astronaut Jones and Brian Fellow, has an otherwise clean record. The case is back in court on Feb. 23, when Berk will ask the judge to suppress the evidence, including blood-alcohol test results.
